I have worked in beauty industry for many years and have tested out hundreds of soaps/body washes. This was unimpressive. It had the essence of Coco Mademoisselle, but you can definitely smell the ingredients that are in every bar of soap shining though and giving the actual fragrance a run for its money. It does create a lovely lather, but even with very thorough rinsing it leaves a film on the skin like standard bar soap. Next time I’ll splurge and purchase the shower gel.
