I have been wanting to order some pure olive oil soap, such as savon de Marseilles or Aleppo from Syria for about a year, but for some reason I never managed to pull the trigger.
Today, I went to a local Greek seafood restaurant for lunch. When I walked in, I noticed a video playing of the owner on a recent trip to Crete. Then, I noticed bins of loose bars of imported Greek olive oil soap, which he probably brought back from his trip, and I knew I would be buying some. Then I looked for the price and got one of my biggest shocks in recent memory. He is selling them for 35-cents each! They are fairly large bars and very hard, so I imagine they will last quite a while. I only bought two, but if I really like them, I'll probably go back to stock up.
They are either unscented or so lightly scented that I can barely tell. They are like an ever so slightly floral crayon. I imagine it is just the scent of the olive, itself.
I'll report back after I use it. I may just go downstairs now and wash my face.
