Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap, Made with Essential Oils, Biodegradable Formula, Basil, 12.5 fl. oz - Pack of 6

After using Mrs Meyers basil dish soap at a friends house and liking that scent, I ordered these liquid soaps. I find the scent to be very strong and overpowering. However my biggest issue is that this particular scent smells very synthetic to me, unlike this companys other soaps ( I like the Lemon Verbena a lot). I now have 6 bottles of this stuff so Im hoping Ill grow used to it, but wanted to warn others.... if you dislike strong scents, you might want to try a different scent from this company.

Awesome smell. Wonderful soap. I gave this away to my girlfriends for Christmas in my My Favorite things box. Its great and the price is hard to beat.

I only received 5 of the 6 soaps.

i purchased pack of 6 of the hand soap in Basil scent. it is extremely sharp scent. i have no scent allergies or aversions but the basil scent is so so so strong that it is nauseating. regret buying it. bottles sit in my basement closet now. WASTE !

I really wish I could love Mrs. Meyers body products. I think they smell amazing, but good grief, my skin has never been so dry than when using these products. I have tried the hand soap in Basil, Parsley and Lavender - all smell great, all leave my hands literally cracking and peeling from dryness. I have also tried the bar soap for use in the shower - same thing - Smells great, leaves my skin ashy, white and flaky. I dont have sensitive skin either, its just something in these products that strip my skin down to nothing. Maybe youll have better luck, but I dont recommend this product to anyone with dry or sensitive skin.

Im a grubby blue collar worker so my hands are an eternally greasy mess. Not only does this soap do an excellent job of removing filth the basil scent is an absolute delight. I have very little tolerance for most perfumes and scents, most of our cleaning products and detergents are either dye and perfume free or very nearly. This basil scent is very, very complex and strikes a nearly perfect olfactory balance of subtle herbal, floral and astringent (in a nice way) scents. All those reviewers incapable of appreciating this masterstroke are olfactorily impaired and have my sympathies.

We love the basil scent of this hand soap. This is a nice brand and all the hand soap scents are nice with Mrs. Meyers.

Aroma too strong for me. Otherwise, I do like the feel of the product. And it seems to clean well leaving no residue on the hands.

Mrs. Meyers products never disappoint. We stock these products in our mens room at the office. They smell wonderful. The basil is a light, fresh scent not especially feminine like a lavender so its goes over better in the guys bathroom. It leaves a nice after scent in the room which is nice too. The soap clean well and has no chemicals in it.

I purchased this soap during the summer, and held off on reviewing it until mid-winter, so I could comment on whether or not my hands got dried out and scaley like they do every winter, thanks to frequent washing. Im happy to report this is still a 5-star product - everything you could want in a hand-soap - gentle, green, natural, great lather that smells wonderful, rinses clean, doesnt dry out your skin, and the relatively big bottle lasts a looooonng time. Great value if you do the subscribe and save option, too!
