I decided after much deliberation and because of the good recessions for this soap and absolutely love it! I did not want to wash, but only for my wardrobe, so the laundry smells nice. And the smell is just wonderful, pleasant and not too pushy! Have been looking for something and can recommend it only. :) How it is to wash your hands, I can not say, but think due to the many positive recessions here that they can collect only pluses so also!
