What does this soap smell like? I recently bought an African black soap from another company and did not like the smell. (very artificial-candy-rubber like)

I think it has a slight smell but the smell does not stay with you long. I would not consider it rubber like. It is hard for me to cmpare to another sent.

It doesnt have a smell. At least to me it doesnt. This product is fragrance free.

I can't stand most scented items (especially artificially scented) and buy most of my products scent free. I think this product smells a little like a very faint licorice. I find that it isn't offensive in any way but doesn't linger at all (personally, for me, a plus). A couple of side notes: you will have to dedicate certain wash cloths to be used with it because it will stain them black; I also use this as my face soap and love it.

The clear jel I ordered through Amazon from Barry Farms has a slight, pleasant odor, but not like perfumed soap. I'm wondering if the package was shipped with additional products that had a heavy perfume odor and the packaging absorbed it. Try a little of the clear gel mixed with water and give it a taste test. If it has a perfume taste, contact where you purchased and return. I don't think that's normal.

There is probably a some difference in the fragrance, but the fragrance is not very strong, so that means little to me. I previously purchased the regular soap in local stores at a far higher price than I paid for this soap through amazon. That would be a very major difference for me.

I don't know about that soap but this soap is pretty good. The orange anti bacterial is good too.

I'll get the unscented bar soap. The licorice one is just too much for me. Hope that helps.

I have this item and I don't particularly enjoy the way that it smells. It has a vanilla scent that I find to be rather artificial. Not to mention a "sticky" feel about the skin upon first drying. I stopped using it after a few days. So I am unsure as to it's effectiveness. However, just in part of the scent that it carries; I'd pass on it.

I use the soap for both body and face and sometimes as shampoo. I also use it to clean stuff. The smell is kinda weird, and I wouldn't know how to describe it.

It is too drying for my hair (I am black with natural hair style) but I have honestly not had any luck with finding a bar soap that is not too drying for my hair.

Just use it like regular soap. I don' t buy store brand soap. I use this black soap. It lathers up well.

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

Hi Caryl,I love this soap so much. I have eczema and extremely dry skin and it's awesome. The bar is about 3" square and about 1" deep. One bar lasts about 4-6 months. The smell is not strong and not perfume-y at all. It's sort of like incense; spicy and smoky. It won't linger on your skin. There are a couple of configurations of Aleppo soap. One has 95% olive oil and the other has 60% olive oil and 35% bay leaf oil, which is the one I like. There are some other percentage configurations. The remaining 5% is "other"... who knows? Search for it on uTube and watch how it's made. It's the oldest known method of making solid soap. Hope this helps. Hi Caryl,I love this soap so much.

I didn't use feels-naptha back in the day so I don't know what it used to smell like. I use it to make laundry detergent so other items are mixed/boiled with this soap. I was able to find it at Walmart so there is no need for me to order it on line any more. Sorry I can't answer your question.

As far as I know, yes. This brand of Raw African Black Soap is made by hand with pure shea butter, palm oil, plantain ash, banana leaves and agow tree bark. Vegan friendly natural ingredients. Hope this is helpful.

I haven't tried both but I do know this soap leave the sink, counter and everything black. The tub looks dirty where my grandkids bathe so it's scrubbing bubbles everytime. It makes me wonder that some of that is left on my skin

Um.. It's soap silly... Wash away!! Yes I am serious. Wonderful soap btw. I've stocked up on goat milk soap like a mad man... Great product

I bought the soap only for the wonderful aroma, not because of any antibacterial properties. We don't need antibacterial soap in ordinary life (in hospitals and laboratories yes, but those would be clinical grade, much stronger and with little or no perfume). I think these natural aromas are stimulating and refreshing.
