MM Lemon Hand
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'After trying Mrs. Meyer\'s hand soap at a vacation rental, my family members campaigned for me to buy some for our home. The rental provided the Basil scent, which we all loved. I ordered 3-packs of that scent and 3 other scents, with the assumption that we would enjoy them as much as before. These soaps are nothing like the experience at the vacation rental! We all believe that these soaps at Amazon are some sort of knock-off made by a third-party contractor. The soap does not lather, so you will tend to use more, and the scents are so off-putting!!! They are totally different from the original experience. The four scents I ordered were--Rhubarb, Lemon Verbena, Basil and Bluebell. They are listed from most disgusting to least offensive. You\'re welcome. The Rhubarb is a cross between raw rhubarb and dirt (NOT rhubarb pie), the Lemon Verbena smells like prairie grass after it\'s been in a heavy rain then the sun comes out, making it steam out a "this is why I hate humidity" smell. The Basil has an herbal smell of some combination that should never be, and the Bluebell is a little too floral. On a bright note, since you need to use more soap to get it to lather, you\'ll get through it faster, and maybe you won\'t have exposed all your friends to the abuse of the unpleasant odors. They may question your tastes, doubt the friendship, and become scarce--it\'s that bad!!! If you buy too much of it, like I did, you can save it for out-of-town guests that decide to overstay their welcome. Out comes the soap, and voila! Guests leave, problem solved!! Thanks, nasty soap!!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'll keep this brief, because I'm only writing it to combat all of the reviews that say it stinks.\n\nI can't speak to the other scents, but this lemon verbena is the one that I've used exclusively, and I love it. This is my first time ordering it from Amazon, and some of these reviews had me nervous that it was some sort of knockoff version.\n\nI can tell you, it is not... It is the same scent that my sister-in-law bought me some years ago, and that I still love."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I took a chance, after reading through the reviews, and bought Mrs Meyers. This soap is like a miracle in a bottle for your hands! Mine are always dry and cracking, even with lotion I couldn't get relief from it. Since I started using this my hands haven't chaffed at all! My nails even seem healthier! I will definitely purchase again. Side note: Tried the pumpkin scent, it stinks. I mean it really stinks! And the stink stays with you for several hours..bleh! The Lemon Verbena scent is truly the best.."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is a very nice hand soap! I really like the smell and have recently ordered a sample group of different fragrances to see which one I like the best. I wash my hands a lot so I need a good soap and I like a nice fragrance and this one is very nice, Lemon/Verbena...just a lovely smell! Doesn't dry out my hands even with the frequent washings."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'As a rule, I don\'t like "floral" scents. The lemon verbena, while a flower, has more of the lemon notes, and it smells "clean". For regular hand washing it works fine. My hands don\'t seem to dry out using it and I haven\'t had any allergic response to it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am all about scent and Mrs. Meyers hand soap is the bomb! It\'s not over powering like other liquid hand soaps. It leaves behind the perfect amount of scent so you won\'t have the "yep, I just used the bathroom" smell following you around all day.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I love this soap. We use this Lemon Verbena scent in the kitchen, because I think the freshness of the citrus is a perfect compliment to anything we may be cooking. It's also a nice clean smell, which works to cover any unpleasant odors that indefinitely arise (burnt food, smelly trash cans and garbage disposals, etc).\n\nFor hand washing, it is great. It doesn't work into a crazy lather but I like that because it is quick to rinse off. It has been especially wonderful for using on our young toddler as we try to teach her the basics of hand-washing. I don't feel like I have to spend forever with her hands under the faucet trying to remove the soap. Our hands never feel sticky or tacky afterwords. They just feel clean. The light lemon fragrance is just right.\n\nWe have tried other Mrs. Meyer's scents (basil, bluebell) but I find those to be too overpowering. I almost get a headache from the amount of scent that lingers on the hands. This lemon is not overpowering - it is light, crisp, and refreshing. The scent wears off completely after a few minutes.\n\nI was surprised that this product has been rated so negatively by some. I saw how most of these poor reviews were connected to the quality of the bottles, primarily the defectiveness of the pump. I've been buying this product on Amazon for a while, so I can probably speak for the 20-30 hand soaps we have received. Only one time did I have a pump problem, but it did play out exactly how the other reviewers describe. After pumping the soap, the pump would not pop back up. It would remain in the down position. Anytime you needed soap, you would have to finagle the pump upwards and then push down. It was annoying. But again, this only happened once to me so I really found it to be no big deal. I would have rated this product lower if more of my soaps had this isssue."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I found Mrs. Meyers several years ago. My favorite scent is the lemon verbena. I like that it has olive oil and aloe vera which is good for my hands. It's my go to soap so as long as it's still available, I will certainly purchase again."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Have been using Mrs Meyers’s hand washing soap for years. It thoroughly cleans my hands, even if they are greasy from cooking or full of mud after working in the garden. I have a bottle in each of the bathrooms in our house. This refill bottle is economical and easy to use. Our whole family loves the light lemon scent! Great product!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm trying this out for the first time. I love the scented liquid soap products but they are expensive so I thought I would give it a go. It's great but not sure I'll stick with it. I may try others but I'm not sorry I purchased this."}]
