Pre De Provence Verbena Soap Review

 Last of the Pre De Provence Sampler pack. Then I'll have to find something else to move on to...I'm not mad though because it gave me nine mini soaps to test. I like the first two soaps I tried the best and the rest was just average and nothing to write home about. This is another one that falls into the latter category. 

Pre De Provence claims:

Pre de Provence Soap Shea Enriched Everyday French Soap Bar - Verbena.

Citrus, Tropical, Rejuvenating 

For centuries, the luxury of French-milled soaps has remained the gold standard of excellence. Each time you begin to lather a French made soap, you enter a time and place where quality and craftsmanship have stood still. Traditional French soap is triple-milled to produce a completely uniform and smooth soap, without impurities, thus lasting longer.

Each bar of Pre de Provence soap is not only carefully made today by dedicated soapmakers in Provence following their proud traditions, but quad-milled to be smoother and have a richer lather to create our luxurious feel.

Using pure, natural ingredients enriched with shea butter, you can feel the difference in our unique quad-milling process. Aromatic fragrances transport you into a moment of calmness, vitality, dreaming, or well-being.

I don't really like Verbena scents. I'm not just not a fan of it. The last Verbena soap I tried was the one from L'occitane. I thought that was the best iteration of the scent- but even now I can't really remember it to compare. This one smells like Verbena but gives me lemon cleaner vibes. Not something I want to shower in although I wouldn't say it really smells like a cleaning product. I think I wouldn't mind this type of scent in an all purpose cleaner. Maybe the scent would work better as a hand soap. 

Everything else about it met the standard of Pre De Provence. Lathered easily, rinsed cleanly. Not drying. 

They don't post the ingredients on the site...nor was it on the packaging but I think they use typical soap ingredients- Palm Oil, Shea Butter. No special extracts or anything. Just your basic triple milled soap.

I don't think I'll ever be a Verbena fan, but if you are this might be worth a try.
