Blue Power Carbolic Soap -4.4oz[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

The bar of soap while in its package without being exposed to water smells like sharpies. I didn't mind the smell at all, I quite like it actually lol. It does carry the scent all over the bathroom though. I have to keep it in its package in a drawer when not in use bc my partner doesn't like the smell. I actually love it though! Once the bar of soap touches water, gets sudsy, the scent changes to.. something reminiscent of liquid smoke. I love barbecue so I wasn't complaining. But the most amazing thing happened after rinsing the suds away. The scent that lingered on my body is the most subtle, powdery fresh fragrance. AND I am a bar soap HATER, as a person with habitually dry skin. But this soap left not a trace of sticky itchy film on my body. It rinsed completely clean and left me feeling quite pampered. I did not even need to apply lotion (I didn't want to cover up this lovely clean fresh scent yet!) and there was no irritation left whatsoever. I also feel immaculately clean. The bar produces tons of suds as well. I actually might be in love with this $6 bar of soap.

The best soap EVER. It has a strong smell but fades after rinsing. It truly cleans the whole body! The sent is very strong kinda smells medicinal, keep the bar in a soap container because your bathroom will smell like it. I don’t mind the smell, but some people may not like the smell. I tell you there is not a soap that cleans as well as this!

This smells like an anatomy lab or creoline. However, it does clean well…

i personally really like this soap. it makes me feel clean and i think it helps with acne. there isn’t much of a lingering smell on my body after i use it, however the scent of the bar itself is very strong! when i first opened the package and smelled it, it stung my nose and lingered for a while… but i’ve been using it for a while now and the smell doesn’t bother me anymore. i can smell it as soon as i open my bathroom door though, so definitely keep that in mind if you share a bathroom or have guests over. if i had to describe the smell, i’d say the closest comparison is sharpies. it’s a sharp medicine scent that reminds me of cherry flavored cough syrup.

Wow this soap is the strongest smelling soap I’ve ever tried. I put it in the bathroom and a little bit later my husband asked me what is that awful smell? I really wanted to like this soap. It smells like anbesol and burning rubber. It’s a weird smell but it was growing on me. I used it a few times just to wash my hands and let me tell you. It’s fantastic because it makes you feel so super clean. The scent remained on my hands for a long time. I didn’t get to try it in the shower because my husband asked me if he could throw it away. The smell was overwhelming and making him nauseous. Even though I put it in an airtight container, when I took it out to wash my hands the smell filled the bathroom and it lingers for awhile. Bottom line is I think you should try it and see for yourself. It’s fantastic because works very well but the smell is overwhelming for some.

ORIGINAL REVIEW...Unless you love smelling like FORMALDEHYDE...Do not buy this. Everyone in my house is gagging around me. I can't get the smell off of me. DISGUSTING. I want my money back.EDIT...I AM NOW IN L0VE with this soap. Yes everyone took some getting used to the smell but it really kills the funky menopause armpit smell. I could only mask the smell, this gets rid of it. I really am not offended by smelling like I just dissected a fetal pig in biology either. It's more of a "chloroseptic meets musky beach-fire pit". I ferl so clean that I'm now taking 2-3 showers a day because I love how my sensitive skin feels 😀 It gets up too 115° where I live in the summer so I'm thrilled to find this now.Now my major problem is i bought 1 soap & then went to buy the 30 pack & they keep sending me ONLY ONE INSTEAD OF 30...and as I'm reading I'm not the only one. I'm wondering when the Department of Weights & Measures us going to get involved here because you can't just keep robbing people like that. DO NOT ORDER THE 30 pack...you will be paying $28 for 1 bar of soap.

Definitely has a very strong smell, but I did not mind it. I will definitely purchase again, it made my skin feel cleaner and smell clean as well. It definitely is effective on minimizing body odor, specifically on armpits, made them feel cleaner and less stinky. I used it on my face and it definitely helped to clear any bumps oils and minimal acne that I had.

If you like the smell of Clorox concentrate, you’ll like this soap. Hear me out, I love the smell, I love how clean it makes me feel, and I love the lather it makes. It is drying though. I recommend using a moisturizing body wash or lotion afterwards. The smell will last for quite a while. It’s a very clean smell on the skin. Marilyn Monroe knew what she was doing when she used this soap!
