Fresh Citron De Vigne Bar Soap Review

 This weekend really seemed to fly by... but I didn't want to let the weekend get away from me without getting this post up. I'm just looking at the Fresh website and realizing there seems to have been a price increase. I thought when I bought it, it was $16.00. I could be mistaken...but everything just seems to be going up and by crazy amounts lately. 

Fresh claims:

A long-lasting, vegetable-based body soap infused with moisturizing shea butter and an addictive scent

These nourishing soaps are milled multiple times, making them super dense, luxurious, and long-lasting. Infused with iconic fresh scents, the soaps are hand-wrapped, tied with a delicate wire, and topped with a semi-precious stone—making them the perfect gift (for others or yourself!).

Scent: a sparkling citrus scent

Made in France

I really like the Fresh soaps. I don't think you can really go wrong..they are a nice, large, quality bar. I've used a few of the scents and I've enjoyed them all. There are only two that I haven't tried: Verbena and Mangosteen, I do eventually plan to get my hands on both but not for a while yet.

They come packaged really nicely (and environmentally friendly) since it's just a paper that you can easily chuck in the paper recycle. They also come with a semi-precious stone. Nice touch but I never know what to do with them so I have just been collecting them until I can find a purpose. It doesn't really tell you which stone it is and I'm not good at recognizing them either- I think I've had a few repeat stones at this point. 

But yep- packaged nicely. And it's a nice oval shape which I now associate with more luxurious soaps. It's also practical because less of the soap sits in water- although this is not a soap that will go mushy so probably not needed but nice to see anyway. 

It is triple milled- means it will last the average person longer. I tend to go through all soaps pretty quickly since I lather and lather them up. It does last quite a long time anyway though. 

As for scent- they don't get too descriptive on their own soap page. It does smell of all the ctirus- with a lot of grapefruit but then some other scents mixed it that jut makes a very pleasant scent to shower in. They do have a plain grapefruit scent- which was nice enough but I definitely prefer this. I truly enjoyed using it everyday and never once did I get tired of it. Citrus scents can sometimes be fleeting in soaps- but I think Fresh does a really good job here.

It kinda reminds me a little of the Lush Golden Wonder scent which is also ctirus/champagne. 

It's not a strong scent- it won't linger around the bathroom after....I don't notice it on my skin. It's great for those that don't want an overpowering scent. 

It does all the other things you expect from soap- lathers well, rinses clean, not too drying.

Ingredients:

Overall, I really enjoyed it. I think Fresh does bar soaps really well. I just wish they would come down in price because they are  quite expensive, I guess at least you do get more soap for your money than with other lux brands.
