Mistral Men's Sandalwood Bamboo Bar Soap, Sandalwood, 9 oz.

This is perfection in soap, truly. Yes, spending 15 bucks on a bar of soap is beyond luxury; it's kind of pretentious. But with Mistral, things are different. The bar is big, as big as Arnold S.'s hand. You're going to get 2.5-3 weeks of daily soaping with one bar. And it doesn't crack or shred; it remains whole. The smell of Cypress, specifically, is phenomenal. It's woody, oceanic, and classic soapy. But what's so wonderful about all the Mistral soaps, is that is sticks with you. I left the shower, and could smell the soap on my arms 1 hour afterward. It wasn't obnoxious, Axe-type cologne smell, but a classy, luxurious, manly soap smelling. I didn't have to put on cologne after the shower, but could revel in this pure, baseline scent. I would highly recommend that you purchase not just Mistral soaps (plural scents), but their aftershaves and shave creams. I have limes, and it's unbelievable. Mistral is quality, and you get what you pay for here guys.

A hefty bar of soap that has a satisfying masculine fragrance, smooth silky lather, and really cleans the skin thoroughly. No residue after rinse off. Only the pleasant scent is left behind. Overall, I'd rate this a 4.5 (which rounds up to a 5, I guess). Points docked only for the price (yes, it's premium quality, but it's still just soap... c'mon), and I wish it would have lasted just a little bit longer. But, it's definitely worth the purchase if you have the money to spend. Personally, I'm not rich, so I will only be able to buy this periodically. It won't replace my usual brands, although I wish it could.

Here I am again with another review of a men’s product. Ummm what can I say? If you’re use to quality soaps this will not “wow” you. It’s good though, and if you’re a first timer just moving away from typical mainstream soap it’ll be good to try. The scent is nice and gentlemanly, the sandalwood could have been more prominent but it’s not bad. It lasts for about an hour or so on skin after you get out of the shower. It has a decent foamy lather (with a washcloth) and makes for an enjoyable shower experience. It lacks in the moisturizing department however. It left my skin moderately dry. It could possibly be because I’m a woman and my skin is a bit more sensitive than the targeted male demographic, but be aware even as a guy that it may leave your skin dry. It’s a well made triple milled soap, so it lasts a long time even with multiple daily showers. The price tag is a bit high, but that’s to be expected as you move into “higher-end” brands. It’s worth the try. I won’t be a subscriber and wouldn’t purchase another, but I recommend at least trying this soap once. You may enjoy it and continue purchasing.

This is by far the best soap (brand) I’ve ever used. This scent is great, light yet assertive. It lathers well, the bar doesn’t melt away in the shower, and it leaves you silky smooth clean. Not squeaky clean, not greasy clean, perfection. Even though this soap is expensive, it lasts twice as long as other quality soaps and outplays them in every category. This soap makes Dr. Squatch look like a diy at home soap kit.

This is a big bar of soap! It’s going to last awhile and it smells fantastic. Exactly as advertised. It’s high quality and lathers right up. Leaves you squeaky clean and smelling great!

I used this soap for years then it disappeared from Amazon for awhile. I tried just about every expensive bar of sandlewood soap I could find and could never find something quite as good. Recently found it's back and reordered and while it's expensive its worth the money. Opening the envelope the scent just punches you in the face. My Pre De Province bars are going to collect dust cause they simply just don't stack up. Yes it's alot of money for a bar of soap but the bar usually last around 6 weeks. The smell lingers in the bathroom for hours after you shower as well. Spending $14 to smell incredible for 6 weeks doesn't seem that crazy when you can easily spend the same amount at Starbucks once.

A few years ago I had sandlewood soap from Mistral. It was wonderful and I ordered many times. This sandlewood bamboo soap does not smell even close to the original. Very disappointed but will keep it. Wish they still offered the original. Will not reorder again.

Smells great in the bar lasts a long time. I use several different fragrances from this company and I love every one of them. This has been my go-to bar soap for years. Yes it's expensive but the bar lasts me weeks and smells wonderful. Unlike some of the other brands to have great marketing, the scent of these bars actually sticks with you for a while after you get out of the shower. You can smell it lingering on your skin for hours. Black amber and mahogany rum are two of my go-to's.
