There is usually a lot number and manufacture date on the boxes. The newer the more powerful. Time, heat, and humidity are the enemies of our soaps!
When it comes to Essential Oils it would seem fresh is always better!
Used the soap now for several years. And after first hating the talc I have warmed up to it.
If I want a really FRESH bath, nothing beats Mysore Sandal Soap or Chandrika.

Ive been reading all about this soap since joining B&B. Where can I find this? Indian stores? Are those the only Brick and Mortar stores? I noticed Amazon sell them too.
I've never seem it in any brick and mortar, so your best bet would be online or an Indian grocery.
You got to LOVE B&B! Smallflower is the online site for Merz Apothecary in downtown Chicago. They will be sure to have it!
I just received 3 cases of 12 and all are dated as being packed June 2009.
Got mine at an Indian grocery store for $1.49. It was packed 9/10. It's definitely a strongly scented soap. I don't think I could stand it any stronger. I looked for the powder but they didn't have any by Mysore (Karnataka Mfg.)
They did have some Sandlewood powder by Ponds and I'm thinking this was Ponds India but I'm not sure. I might go back some time and try the Ponds powder.
Oh, it was 150gr. by the way.

Tried it today for the first time.
Loved it!
Lathers well and the scent is very masculine.
Plus my bathroom smell great all the time now.
Reading the back label it seems that I have about three years to use it.
Got it for $1.79 a bar at a local "Indian" store.

I'm hope I get at least a month of showering out of it.
You should!
We use Japanese Bubble Cloth to wash and they are soap eaters to be sure.
Plus we are showering 2-3 times a day! (Sports)
does anybody know of a store in Manhattan that might stock the Mysore soap ?
Surely there has to be a tonne!
Check with Google for Indian Groceries! Give them a ring and they should be able to help you no problem.
Let us know what you find!
l don't live in Manhattan I'm going for a holiday in May , just thought if anybody had already purchased some they could point me to there location
MANHATTAN INDIAN GROCERY
Give the nearest one to you a bell. They are sure to have it or direct you to a place nearby that does!

Could this soap be used as a hair shampoo ?
Thanks banditman, looking for a Shampoo Bar to try that suits hard water
