      Scent is too perfumey
      This soap pack is ok for the price, but the bars don't lather very well. They do have a good level of moisturizer that doesn't feel too oily, but my big complaint is the scents. The black one is ok, but the others are like cheap perfume. And I mean CHEAP perfume. It actually hurts my nose. I have used higher end soaps with a beautiful scent that is subtle and natural. This is not that. Overall not a bad product for the price, but don't expect to smell like a $1 perfume. Yuck

      Great scents and clean feel.”
      This 4-pack (Sandalwood Amber, Mint Olive, Turmeric Citrus, Activated Charcoal) hits the mark. Natural, handmade, and leaves skin feeling fresh without drying out.

      Items works just as described.
      great soap. Lots of suds, no lingering perfumy smell, and seems to last longer than most.

      2 smell good, 2 not so good and it's made in China
      These are interesting soaps. The inverted loofah sponge for the soap is in interesting idea. The black and green ones smell the best. They are made in China however so I'm going with a USA made one next. Dapper Yankee.

      Great Charcoal Soap – I Really Like It!
      Scent: Ocean, Scent: Ocean
      I’m honestly surprised how much I like this charcoal soap. The packaging was clean and professional, and all four bars came in perfect condition. Each bar is a good size, and it feels like it will last a long time. The scent is fresh and not overpowering, and the soap gives a nice deep-clean feeling without drying out my skin. I like that it has ingredients like peppermint, sea salt, and shea butter — it actually feels refreshing after a shower. The mesh bag they include is also really useful for getting more lather and keeping the soap from melting too fast. Overall, this is a solid charcoal soap set. Good quality, good fragrance, and worth the price. I’m happy with it and will definitely keep using it!
