I made the mistake of falling asleep not long after I got home so now I have been up for the last few hours looking silly. I wanted to do this review though so before I try and get back to sleep...here we are.

This is definitely a mens brand. Over the last couple of years or so- men's skincare and bath and body exploded. I saw this on the Nordstrom website and figured I would try it because it sounded like a unisex scent- Eucalyptus and Mint. And sometimes it's good to switch it up.
You get a nicely packaged big bar at 9 oz. Comes in a very nice box. Would probably make a really nice gift. I almost thought it was a handmade bar by the look of it..it just reminded me of some but it's definitely not.
As for the actual soap, it works nice. Very bubbly lather. Rinses clean. And I don't feel like it dried my skin out. And you have the option to use it as an exfoliating soap. Most men's bars on the higher end seem to be exfoliating. I wonder why that is? Anyway, the issue I have with a lot of exfoliating bars is that they are either too harsh on the skin or they don't do anything. This one works and works well. I don't feel like it's scratchy. But your skin won't be as smooth as it could be if you used a separate exfoliant. I also love that the exfoliant is very natural and not chunky so it doesn't feel like it will clog anything up.
The scent is very nice and I enjoyed it most days before I got tired of it. I tend to get tired mens scents quickly but when I enjoyed it, I really liked it. It's like a really nice "aqua" type of mens colognes with the perfect hints of mint and eucalyptus. I was surprised that the mint was there but really blended in nicely with the rest of the scent. It's a scent that was done really well. Now that I've used up the bar, I feel like I kinda miss it. I'm sitting here sniffing the box 😁.
I don't feel like it melts quickly- but it doesn't feel like a triple milled soap either.
I like the ingredients. It has some good for the skin oils- I like that Olive Oil is a bit higher up on the list. I like the exfoliants. It also has Apricot Seed Powder which I'm guess is another exfoliant. It has Wheat Germ and a few extracts- Lotus Flower, Pomegranate, and Peach.
Ingredients:
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Cocoate, Water (Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Fragrance, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Bran, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Flower Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Pentasodium Pentetate
Overall, very nice soap and very good ingredients...I enjoyed it and would recommend it!
