ひのき泥炭石 Cleansing Soap Set of 3 with Charcoal and Hinoki Oil

I purchased this soap set as a gift for a friend. I was drawn to the charcoal formula and the traditional hinoki scent. My friend mentioned that the hinoki fragrance was very pleasant and relaxing. The set of three bars is also convenient and suitable for everyday use. Overall, I’m happy with my choice as a gift.

Great body soap! It's got a great scent and makes my skin feel and look great after using it. Considering I don't need to use a lot of it and it's imported, it's a good value for the price. It's a great product.

洗顔とスキンヘッドの頭剃りに使ってますがなかなか良い感じです。泡切れも良く皮膚がキュッとします。しっとり保湿系を望まれる方には不向きかもしれませんが、私は洗顔はキュッとした肌で終えたいので、コスパも良く満足してます。ほんのり檜の香りもしますのでオススメです。

I’m very much a lover of old Japanese culture, and I just love hinoki, sugi, etc. I had the pleasure of bathing in a several hinoki tubs in Japan, and they let off such a heavenly aroma when filled with steaming hot water. To my delight, I was able to purchase a larger bar of this soap at a Tokyu Hands in Kyoto a few years ago, but couldn’t bring myself to use it because it was to my knowledge irreplaceable. So I just used it as decoration, knowing any day I pleased I could start using it if I felt so compelled. Thankfully I found this item on Amazon, a package of three smaller bars of this marvelous bar soap. It’s incredibly fine-milled, and so a little goes a long way, easily working up a luxurious lather. If you’re into hinoki specifically, or just like the smell of aromatic woods, it doesn’t get much better than this, certainly not at this price-point. $20 may seem like a lot for such little soap, but because the quality is so high and it lasts so long, especially if you use it only as a facial soap as I do, it’s a well-justified investment if you love this sort of thing. Makes my shower just that much more refreshing and invigorating. I LOVE this stuff. If only they made the white horse soap variety as well!

Friend went to Japan and brought this soap back as a gift. Since then I've been ordering it. So far it's one of the best soaps I've ever used. It doesn't really have a scent but I love the way my skin feels after using this soap. Will be buying again and again.
