This soap is a real bargain. It's a hard milled , thick , heavy bar. For $2.49 these guys do not skimp on the sandalwood oil, my entire bathroom smells like sandal !..Other sandalwood soaps I've tried were very drying, this one is not. Rich , thick lather , and leaves the epidermal layer clean and faintly scented ....Real nice soap and almost every Indian market will have it.
