This soap is great. I use it in liquid form and in bar form. It contains no sodium laurel/laureth sulfate, which is literally toxic to my skin. I used to have really bad eczema on my hands, and the thing that helped most was switching to Dr. Bronner's soap.This soap lathers incredibly well, and I love the smell. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it stings like crazy if you get it in your eye(s) or open wounds (even cuts from shaving). But not too many soaps I know of are eye-friendly.
Regarding the scent: The last time I purchased this soap, I was sent bars that had essentially no scent at all to them. I wrote to the manufacturer, and they informed me that their soaps have a 3-year shelf life, and that the scent dissipates over time. They also told me how to interpret the 4-digit date code imprinted on each bar of soap: The first number indicates the year (i.e. 7=2007) and the next three numbers indicate the day of the year out of 365. For example, 8001 would be January 1, 2008 and 7365 would be December 31, 2007. My date code was 5257, meaning that when I ordered in late 2011, I was sent soap made in mid-2005. No wonder it had no scent.
You can buy Dr. Bronner's soap at Farget [sic] but you'll pay more, and the scent selection is very limited.
