Lume Triple Milled Bar Soap - Rich Moisture & Gentle Cleansing - Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Skin Safe - 5 ounce (Peony Rose)

Update: 1/24/2024: Since my last update, I did some more reading about 2-Nonenal and how to get rid of the smell. Others said Persimmon soap would do the trick. So again, I go to Amazon to find it. I did find it, purchased it and tried it. It’s a very very expensive, tiny little piece of glycerin soap. Smells good. Does it work? Yes but for about 8 hours. Then you have to use it again. Lume controls the odor much longer and Lume bar of soap lasts longer. If you like citrus smell, get Lume tangerine. It’s cheaper, larger, lasts longer and works longer.Update: 1/4/2024:Since my last update, I ordered the Peony Rose and the Tangerine. The coconut smell started getting to me. When first applied, cream or soap, it reminded me of men’s dirty socks. Not feminine at all! Of course that initial stinky smell dissipates but I just couldn’t get past it. So I’ve tried both the peony rose and tangerine. Both smell really good. Believe it or not, my husband likes the peony rose the best. It leaves a smell similar to CK One on him. I’m sure body chemistry comes into play here but on him it doesn’t leave him smelling of flowers. On me, both leave a light pleasant scent. People won’t smell it on you unless they are literally sniffing your skin.The soap works just fine by itself for 2-Nonenal.Update: 12/26/23I tested using only the soap and it works! For me, at this point and time, no need to use both the soap and the cream. Saves me a little time in my hygiene routine and a little bit of money too.Original Review:I’m going to put my tragic but true story out here in hopes it helps someone. Move on to the next review if you are sensitive to the truth and facts about aging or just squeamish.Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. I always noticed her house had this certain smell and I knew it came from her but never knew what it was. I definitely knew it was a natural smell, not a perfume, lotion or detergent. It was a sweet but earthy kind of smell. Whatever it was, I knew I didn’t want it.Fast forward 43 years and here I am post menopause. I still get a little hot flash now and then but I’m definitely through the turbulence. Praise Jesus!The other morning, I was sitting in bed with my morning cup of coffee perusing on Amazon like I always do, and I could smell this sweet, musty, salty something odor coming off my neck and chest. I was like, WTH!, but in much worse language. I religiously shower 2x a day. I never get in my bed dirty. NEVER. And all of a sudden, I’m waking up with this strange odor on my body. The idea of it tormented me all day. Next morning, same problem. 😩😩😩. So over to the internet I go to try to diagnose my problem. Well, guess what? I’ve hit an all time low in my life! I officially have Old People Smell or scientifically called, 2-Nonenal. Welcome to my dark side, folks!So back to Amazon I go to find a product to cure me. I came across Lume. I even saw the tv commercial for the all body soap and deodorant. I purchased both. Last night I showered with the soap and made sure I got my back and all the cracks and crevices. I put the cream on my neck and chest. I went to bed, said my prayers, asked God to take away the old people smell. 🙏❤️🙏.So here I am, the next morning, sitting in bed with my morning coffee and writing this review. So! How do I smell this morning? Like a coconut. No old people smell. I only smell of coconut. Lume worked!Would it work for a solid 72 hours? Don’t know and don’t care because I bathe 2x day minimum. I will use the soap and cream daily.It sucks getting old. Your joints wear out, skin dries out, and now we’re doomed to get 2-Nonenal.Mentally I still feel like I’m in my early 40’s. Physically, I feel like my actual age of 58. But I REFUSE to smell like an old person. REFUSE! REFUSE! REFUSE!Pros:-Bar of soap is quite sizable and will last awhile.-It works for 2-Nonenal and possibly other reasons for body odorCons:-Products are pricey but how can you put a price on something that gets rid of 2-Nonenal?So this is my wicked little story. I hope it helps someone and my apologies if I grossed you out.

I Love Love this soap, my body is so refresh and smelling good, it has lots of soap that come off from the bar. The bar last a long time. A customer for life.

It lathered pretty well, the scent was nice I was afraid the tangerine was going to smell like cat urine tbh. It is a mild scent. I was sweating pretty hard from being out in hot sunny weather, I was stinky! Got this in the mail just in time. It worked pretty good for my stinky arm pits. Now let me advise you on something, when I took the bar out the packaging I went in to smell the inside of the wrapper and that was strong as HELL nearly burned my brain cells! Made my eyes water and my nose burn! I guess I snorted the powdery residue left from the soap, I don’t know, but don’t try that. also it made my cookie sting so be careful how you wash yourself. It is my first time trying it so I’ll see how I feel about it later on. Mean time it took the stinkiness away.UPDATE my arm pits have no odor after the following day usually I’m smelling by then. So I’m actually impressed. I like it thumbs up

I'm a big girl. I say this to avoid saying the words I am fat. But truth is, over the years I have went from your typical young women to a now 40 something fatty. What I didn't know comes along with being a big girl is the sweats. Then came the skin on skin apron belly sweat-- ewww. Next it was the "I just sneezed and may have tinkled" issue. And finally the "Why do I smell I JUST showered" realization. So I needed this soap to work. If for any other reason then to make me emotionally feel less like a slob. After a week of use I felt comfortable enough to make a real review for real people like me. You need to know, I don't do real reviews, especially ones that I admit to being a smelly fatty. Buy this soap works. I got mine in lavender scent and its not to much. It really does neutralize the stink. I actually do feel fresher longer, less smelly and thank God for that, because my self esteem was taking a huge hit. It lathers well, it soaps up as it should and I will make it a product staple from here on out. I am cheap, and paying this much for soap felt like a luxury. Turns out it was a true need and not just a want. The pay off to spend a bit more was worth it. Fat stinky ladies if you are asking yourself should I buy this -- just buy the soap. Thank me later.Edit: 3/10/25 I am buying this again. My husband found out it's super helpful on his "undercarriage" area. Now we both use it. We both agree this is one of the few products that does just what they say it does!

Effective, long lasting scent, dissolved easily on skin but maintained firmness to hold and distribute over body and in soap dispenser/holder

At first this Toasted Coconut Lume bar soap smelled odd to me and I thought I might not use it, but on the second use it was as if my nose adjutant I could smell the familiar Toasted Coconut aroma. I haven’t used bar soap in years because we tend to use liquid soaps but I like having the bar on the shower soap dish as it’s not drying on the skin and has the added benefit of 3-day deodorizing. I bought for pits but it’s kinda awesome that it intentionally or unintentionally deodorizes your whole body for days! I still use deodorant out of habit but really don’t have to. Great product bottom line!
