For you guys who frequently use INTERNATIONAL products, which country or countries generally make the best soap?
Just bought a Mysore Sandal Soap. Never heared of it but it sounds really nice.
The "Export" version has lanolin and is available in a bigger 125g size as "standard." "Superior" is just the name they slap on the Indian version. They're pretty much the same in terms of scent. If you want moisturizing properties, just get the Export version.I use Mysore soap. Be careful when you order: there are two varieties, Superior and Export. I've only used Superior, but I've read the Export version is toned down a bit. Perhaps someone with knowledge can chime in...

I've looked. My soap is the superior. Hope to receive it tomorrow.
Totally different. Worlds apart. I mean, I like TOBS sandalwood and have the AS and cologne, but it's sweet, powdery, and soapy. The Mysore Sandal Soap scent is sandalwood with the slightest hint of Rose. The dry bar smells a bit strong and maybe harsh, but give it a chance. Take a shower with it, or at least wash your hands with it. The scent unfurls wonderfully as you lather it, and when you rinse off, what's left on your skin?Hasn't arrived today. So it will arrive tomorrow. The scent sounds wonderful. I love the scent of the TooBs Sandalwood. Is the scent nearly identical?
I used 2 Lemon Bath bars from Italy and they were GREAT.Another vote for Indian soaps in general, but in fact the soap I use the most is Palmolive Shave Stick which I think is made in Germany.
