Purchase Context
I purchased the Scent of the Month Variety Box – Limited Edition Assortment, specifically Vault No. 2 featuring Sage, Salt & Woods. I bought this directly from perfectlynaturalsoap.com for $28.00 (total $37.99 including $9.99 shipping). I ordered this as a gift for my male best friend who was watching my house while I worked across the country. I am writing this review based on my own long-term experience with the brand, as I have been using their bar soaps daily for the past eight months.
Setup and First Impressions
There is no setup required beyond taking the soap out of the package. My first impression was that all the bars smell wonderful right out of the box. The variety is a great feature because it allows you to mix up your daily routine instead of using the same scent every day.
Build Quality and Use Over Time
The bars are a nice size and feel substantial. I use their bar soaps every day for showering, and because I am bald, I also use the soap daily to shave my head in the shower. The soap works up a rich, foamy lather quickly and effortlessly perfect for shaving. Over about eight months of daily use with their bar soaps, I have found that the bars last fairly long and maintain integrity through regular showers.
What Worked Well
The natural ingredients are a key reason I like this soap. Key ingredients include organic sunflower and olive oil blends, coconut oil, organic palm oil, sodium hydroxide, avocado oil, castor oil, and shea butter. I have a very strong sense of smell; even supposedly unscented items have a noticeable odor to me. Their unscented soap is very mild, which I appreciate. In addition to this variety box, my other favorite scents from the brand are Lavender Lemongrass, Mr Right, and Green Tea Cucumber.
I observed no defects, missing parts, or product failures with their bar soaps. The website description for this variety box was very accurate. I did not need to contact customer support or return the product, so I cannot comment on that process. The only drawback I experienced was the $9.99 shipping fee.
Value for the Money
I rate this variety box 4.5 out of 5 stars. The price of the soap itself is fair to slightly expensive, but it is worth the money for the quality of ingredients and scent experience. I deducted half a star solely because the $9.99 shipping fee is a bit expensive.
Final Assessment
This product is best suited for individuals seeking premium natural soaps with distinctive, high-quality scents. It is especially useful for anyone who wants a rich lather for shaving in the shower. You should avoid this product if you prefer conventional bar soaps with synthetic ingredients. My advice for future buyers is to consider combining orders to offset shipping costs and improve the value. Despite the shipping charge, I will definitely repurchase this.
