A good hard bar of soap, which doesn't melt away in the bath so last a long time making it great value for money. Still lathers well and has a luxurious floral sent that stays even when washed off. Simply packaged in a plastic film wrapper - no excess packaging. Leave skin soft and not dry like a standard soap.
Weakest points
I'm not keen on the scent, but that's a personal choice. Other than that NONE!
Summary
I've been using L'Occitaine soaps instead of shower gels, as I actually find it more cost effective, and it leaves my skin just as soft.

I love L'Occitane products as they are not tested on animals and are full of lovely natural ingredients rather than lots of parabens and the like. This smells like a real rose in the garden and has a lovely strong scent that lasts the life of the soap. It also makes my bathroom smell good when it is being used. the lather is lovely and creamy and the soap actually lasts quite well so it is not bad value for money for a nice little bit of luxury.

User Reviews

Hard milled soap so lasts for months and does not disintegrate or turn mushy. Produces thick creamy lather with a gorgeous rose scent! Highly moisturising and mild enough to use on the face and body. Fantastic traditional looking design. Lasts for a very long time so excellent value for money

None
Summary
This is the first Bonne Mare soap that I received from L'Occitane and this is on my Nan's Christmas list every year. The rose scent is absolutely beautiful and not at all sweet, sickly or overpowering! The fragrance lingers on you skin after bathing. These soaps are large bars and hard milled bar which ensures that it lasts right down to the last slither without disintegrating or turning to mush in your soap dish! The lather is so thick and creamy it feels like a rich moisturiser. You can use this soap on the face or body and it is mild enough for children. It moisturises your skin and does not cause irritation or dryness. I adore the old style, traditional design of this product. The soap lasts for months on end and it is phenomenal value for such a high quality product! Highly recommended
