Antica Officina Profumi Di Olive Oil Soap Review

 I'm really not sure I have the brand right, I can never figure it out from the packaging- but today we have Olive Oil Soap. I've used tons of Olive Oil Soaps at this point and for the most part- can't really go wrong. I was saving this to use as a facial soap...until it got demoted to a body bar. It was mostly due to the scent.

Usually I would put the claims- but I can't access the website and I can't read Italian. 

I used the Buffalo Milk version of the soap a few years ago which I definitely prefer and would repurchase over this. It's mostly due to the scent. Most Olive oil soaps tend to smell like some kind of burnt plastic. This is fragranced so it doesn't smell like burnt plastic. It smells like some sort of Lemon Verbena type scent. It reminds me of a cleaning spray type of scent which I just did not enjoy at all. 

I don't tend to like Lemon Verbena scents/soaps and this has some strength to it. Originally I was using it on my face ..but it was lasting forever that way and I was feeling really over the scent so I just decided to use the rest up in the shower to make it go quicker. Which it did.

It lathers well, rinses clean. It's softening but also drying. Nothing a little lotion can't fix.

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Olive Oil, Parfum, Spanish Sage Oil Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Phytate, Citric Acid, Olive Leaf, Linalool, Geraniol, D- Limonene, Citral

Overall, not for me mostly due to the scent. I would buy the Buffalo Milk version of this over the Olive version anyway.
