Favorite luxury bar soap

Whatever's on sale TBH.

I bought the Hannam soap by Yves Rocher. I got it when YR was having a promotion and got a full sized bottle of hydra vegetal face wash as well.
The soap is nice. The fragrance if pretty mild, reminds me more of cedar than sandalwood.
It left my skin soft. It's summer now so I don't have dry skin but will see how it does come winter.
At $16 I probably won't repurchase but I think I got a good deal with the skin care product.
I also got a sample of the hydra vegetal cream which I really like.

Some interesting news...

I found out in some magazine (in Vogue, as I remember) that my favourite soap, Roger & Gallet, is Christian Louboutin's favourite soap as well

i hate soap. i hate the smell of it and the feel after. it's drying out my skin.

The Hannam soap by Yves Rocher often goes on sale at 2 for $16. I won't pay $16 for 1 bar.

That's cool Mia, it must be a very nice soap! I'm looking forward to trying it.
Bubbelinchen, you've never smelled a soap you like? Do you prefer liquid? I like many liquid soaps too and had been using them a lot but wanted to revisit the old fashion bar soap and find some new favorites. It can be drying but I really don't feel clean unless I use soap on those smelly places then I can move on to body washes or just use a good lotion after.
Thanks French Lady, I will check for it on sale.

all the soaps i smelled on yet and tried have this typical bar soap smell. i tried lavender soap,vanilla soap and so on... i still can smell this yucky soap! i love liquid soap,yes. if anyone here has any idea what soap bar smells amazing without this soap scent and that really moisturizes the skin i will gladly go out buy and try it. price doesn't matter.
yes, soap cleans awesome, it's a squeaky clean feeling right after, but like i said, my skin feels so dry after and the smell while using it is terrible. :-( i wish i would find a bar that i love, then i sure would use bar soap over liquid soap.

For my body, I prefer liquid body wash. However I like a few bar soaps. Dove sensitive skin and The Body Shop Shea bar soap.

I also prefer dove bar soap. Usually use the unscented or sensitive. Since developing fibro my sense of smell seems increased in that I can now smell more of the chemical bases used in most things. Cologne and perfume especially.
Now for luxury bar soap I loved the rosemary and mint line that the Pan Pacific hotel uses https://shop.spautopia.ca/mobile/home.asp#home

I've done a complete 180 on my soap journey.
I've been using a Portugese washing soap called solarvar.
It's been around for over a hundred years and has been used for laundry and personal hygeine.
"Being more effective than normal soap, it was formerly used in to disinfect operating theatres. When the advent of the A-flu, the Portuguese health minister advised the population to use it as a substitute for the alcoholic hand cleaners that emerged at that time."

I find it cleans really well. There's a blue and a pink version. I like the pink one.
You can cut the large block up with a knife and use as needed.

I'm still planning on trying some of the wonderful soaps you all posted in time.

I love sensitive skin Dove and Avon shower gels. Upper Canada Soap used to have an awesome milk soap but sadly it was discontinued. My favourite facial cleanser is Cetaphil in winter and SpectroDerm in the summer.
