Trying a new Spanish bar soap

I went online looking to replace some Heno de Pravia bar soap. While searching I came across this:

The shaving soap is great and I think the mineral salts have a lot to do with it. I am hoping the bar soap feels as good. The scent is very different, however. It reminds me, only vaguely, of Dial soap, but a bit more pleasant somehow. Lemony, perhaps. Has anyone tried this stuff? I have 12 bars to use! First ingredient? Sodium tallowate of course!

edit: I see someone in another thread claims it smells exactly like Arko, but there is something at the base that Arko lacks, but I can't put my finger on it.

Hi from Miami. I purchase La Toja soap at Navarro's pharmacy chain here. It's excellent--on par with the shaving stick--and inexpensive (I pay $2.39 for two bars). I'm a regular user of Arko shaving sticks, but I myself detect no similarity in the scents.
 
I need to find this locally. I paid a bit more than that at the cheapest online retailer I could find. Looking forward to showers with it. I can't say I like it more than Heno de Pravia, but it is a nice soap.
 
I showered daily and then some with this small bar and it lasted a month. It's a hard little soap. I'll have to stock up when I get to Miami.
