Gents soap?

[mrswebber]

My father (87) has requested that he wants lovely smelling soap for Christmas.
I dont' even know the name of a company that specialises in soap for men. Can anyone help with suggestions?

Another vote for L'Occitane from me.

Have you seen their wood soaps, MrsW? There's a trio of them here: http://uk.loccitane.com/wood-soap-trio,83,1,29810,322898.htm or you can buy them as singles at £7 each.
The photo doesn't show them off properly, but they really do look like ovals of smooth carved wood, rather than soap. The scents are lovely too, and the soaps last for ages.

These look perfect! I love the smell of sandalwood. Many thanks x

There`s also a company called Droyt who still make their soaps by hand in the old fashioned way. I used to live near the factory years ago and the air always smelled of soap which was lovely. They now have a website which might be worth looking at.

On Basenotes(perfume site), a thread about this brand of soap.

Mysore sandalwood is the most expensive and highest quality.
