Pre de Provence vs. Provence Sante

[bokaba]

Which do you prefer? Are there significant differences in ingredients, scent, lather, etc?

Pre de Provence will always be a staple in my cabinet. I have tried Provence Sante, and it is a great soap, but IMHO you get a lot more bang for your buck with Pre de Provence. Plus, it comes in a nice tin that is perfect for traveling.

I've never tried Pre de Provence, but I can say that the Provence Sante is definately worth getting.

You get 5.25 ounces of Pre de Provence and around 3.5 ounces with Provence Sante. I've only used Pre de Provence and I love it. I love the rich creamy lather and the scent.

Both are great soaps, but I prefer the sage scent of PdP better.

I prefer the scent of Provence Sante over PdP.

[Joeman]

PdP for me. A great soap that lathers well and has a terrific scent, and available locally for me!

I bought both of these soaps at the same time. At first I liked the Provence Santa sent better than the Pre de Provence. Now, I like the scents equally but PDP sets itself apart with a slightly better lather. I still enjoy them both. You could always get both.

I have both and like them very much.. IMO they're pretty much on par with each other..

They are pretty equivalent soaps to each other. I bought them both at the same time and they get equal use. I like the tin PdP comes in better though as I just bought a refill on the PS.

[Empty Words]

Both are good soaps that produce a good lather. The main difference between them is the scent. I think that Provence Santé is slightly better.

[scoopster]

I like both spoas and find they perform similarly. The Provence Sante has more of a clean, soapy scent. The PdP has a much stronger scent that smells citrusy and herbal (it's the sage) rather than soapy. If you like mild smelling soapy scents go with Provence Sante. If you are a little more adventurous go with PdP. They are both good values.

Just got my first tin of Pre de Provence in today . . . really, really looking forward to shaving in the morning. Smells terrific.

I've been using nothing but NB signature for months now . . . still love it (two more tubs on order) but I decided to branch out a bit and try a few new things.

They are both great, but I prefer Provence Sante. It builds a better lather for me...

I just got some Pre de Provence in the mail today. I just wanted to say that it smells like a million damn dollars. I love the scent of L'occitane Cade too, so I may just become a "French soap guy". I'm gonna shave with it tonight.

I haven't tried Provence Sante.

In summary thusfar.... NO. There are no significant differences in ingredients, scent and lather. Both are excellent choices.

I don't think I can give a preference - I love them both!
