Age: 36-43 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Black, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown Found this line at a gift shop. The owner stocked several different types (iris, lavendar, and other ones with some type of Nesti Dante has a web site, so you can check them out for yourselves. Basically, this line comes from Italy. They have various lines for their soaps, but the "Il Frutteto" covers the fruit, as the name clearly indicates. Others in the line that I sniffed included a very nice tangerine. It's not a particularly cheap bar (DH said "$12 for soap?") but the $12 goes for a 250 g (8.8 oz.). In other words, you're looking at a very big bar of soap. It's "hard-milled", so the soap doesn't just melt in the shower. The lather is very rich, but the shower takes away all of the foam (no residue). I think those of us with dry skin may need to alternate it with another soap or body cleanser. Here in Hawaii's climate, it is a lovely addition to my bath.
I guess I better also say something about the smell. I like it, as it is very mild. Reminds me of C&E "milk" soaps (like how they used to have "buttermilk" and "goatmilk" soaps years ago). I have an unopened bar of L'Occitane's "milk" soap on my bathroom counter. They are similar - very mild. Mind you, though - I said "similar" but the L'Occitane and the Nesti Dante are NOT THE SAME. If you close your eyes and sniff with an open mind, then sometimes you can pick up the fig and almond milk. I usually read "milk" fragrances to have a clean, slightly floral-slightly powdery smell. Very inoffensive and good for women, men, and children.
The ingredient list includes saponified plant-based oils: "sodium palmate, sodium cocoate/sodium palmkernelate, aqua, parfum, glycerin, hydrolyzed sweet almond protein, sodium chloride, titanium dioxide, tetrasodium etidronate, tetrasodium EDTA, amyl cinnamal, benzyl alcohol, hexyl cinnamal, hydroxysohexyl 3-cyclohexane carboxaldehyde, linalool." 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
