I never thought I would say this, but this soap is so worth the $12.00; I think I am addicted for life. This is a very large bar of soap, with unbelievable suds. The soap does not have an over powering fragrance, just a gentle clean smell, and it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. I should have never tried this soap, because now I can't imagine ever using anything else. I highly recommend this soap.
