The good stuff:
- SMELLS AMAZING! Citrus-y and yummy
- Refreshing
- Lathers well
- Little scrubby bits of orange peel
The low-down:
- Scent doesn't linger! :(
- The scrubby bits can be a little harsh
My take: This soap makes me excited to take a shower! :P It just smells so good! Reading the reviews on Lush though, some people think it smells like lemon scented cleaner. But I think it smells heavenly! The citrus scent is so fresh and invigorating. Definitely refreshing! However, the scent does not linger on skin, and after you use the soap for awhile, the smell starts to wear off :( Like when I first got it, it made the bathroom smell like it was full of orange and lemon. But now the smell wore off... :(
Also, some people say the soap is drying. Luckily, I have not had that problem. It makes my skin feel nice and clean. There are little bits of orange peel in there which make it kinda exfoliating, but if you rub too hard it is a little harsh. It lathers really well for me too.
Would I repurchase/recommend?
Yes yes yes! If we had a LUSH here, I would definitely repurchase this soap! As for recommend, if you are a fan of citrusy, refreshing scents, I would say go for it!
