PdP Coconut. A favourite amongst favourites.

I used to use that when i was a kid. Not the blue one, but the amber one. It brings back memories.

I like this thread! I use bar soaps all the time, and while I generally stick to the usual Yardley and the like that I can pick up locally, I sometimes want to vary things up a bit and so this thread is a nice reference for me.

Scents? Evaluation?

The amber remains my favorite. I don’t know how to describe the scent but it’s not really floral or citrus or pine or grassy and yet it’s a touch of all of those things to me. There is a green one, as well, which has a slight mint scent if I remember correctly.
Dan, I’m terrible at describing complex scents so I do apologize. If you have never tried the amber Pears soap, as Yohann says, it’s a bit of nostalgia. It’s a glycerine soap that can often be found in places like Dollar Tree for not much money and is certainly worth taking a chance on to see if you might like it.
Yohann, I did not see the other colors until I went to Scotland several years ago. The amber is still, by far, the most popular. If you haven’t used it since you were a kid, why not give it another go just to see if the scent is as you remember? I use bar soap exclusively when I bathe or shower in the evening but just use a liquid soap at the sink in the morning to wash my face. I enjoy changing up the scents in the bar soap but every once in a while go back to that Pears amber for both the scent and the nostalgia kick.
