If you do not like them... you do not like them! No questions about it.
But, before degrading it to bath soap, whit don't you give it a try, grating and mixing it (maybe using a bain-marie) with another soap that does not thrill you as well but with complementary characteristics?
It might come out something more... usable?

Celestino, Witeq... thank you indeed!

Søren, buon compleanno, even if late!
