Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After trying Mrs. Meyer's hand soap at a vacation rental, my family members campaigned for me to buy some for our home. The rental provided the Basil scent, which we all loved. I ordered 3-packs of that scent and 3 other scents, with the assumption that we would enjoy them as much as before. These soaps are nothing like the experience at the vacation rental! We all believe that these soaps at Amazon are some sort of knock-off made by a third-party contractor. The soap does not lather, so you will tend to use more, and the scents are so off-putting!!! They are totally different from the original experience. the four scents I ordered were--Rhubarb, Lemon Verbena, Basil and Bluebell. They are listed from most disgusting to least offensive. You're welcome. The Rhubarb is a cross between raw rhubarb and dirt (NOT rhubarb pie), the Lemon Verbena smells like prairie grass after it's been in a heavy rain then the sun comes out, making it steam out a "this is why I hate humidity" smell. The Basil has an herbal smell of some combination that should never be, and the Bluebell is a little too floral. On a bright note, since you need to use more soap to get it to lather, you'll get through it faster, and maybe you won't have exposed all your friends to the abuse of the unpleasant odors. They may question your tastes, doubt the friendship, and become scarce--it's that bad!!! If you buy too much of it, like I did, you can save it for out-of-town guests that decide to overstay their welcome. Out comes the soap, and voila! Guests leave, problem solved!! Thanks, nasty soap!!!!
