I was in Whole Foods today and went to check out their French bar soaps. I was surprised to see that they carry a Whole Foods branded triple milled bar soap that was clearly aimed at the market segment occupied by Pre de Provence, which they also carry.
The scents were similar, verbena, lemongrass, etc., the look was very similar, and it was even made in France. Difference was the Whole Foods bar was priced at $3.99 and the Pre de Provence was something like $6.99.
Interestingly, they had a third line (same type of triple milled soap from a different company, but also very similar scents, coloring, and look, and also made in France, but I forget the name) that fell right in between at $4.99, IIRC.
Anyone know anything about these soaps? I'm quite pleased that there are some affordable options.
I was interested in the Verbena, and upon first sniff it seemed the Whole Foods scent was not as bright or lively as the other two. I plan on exploring these soaps more in the coming days.
