    Here's a lightly scented, high-quality soap you can buy virtually anywhere.

    Yardley's of London (US Variety) in Oatmeal & Almond. Little color, little fragrance.

    Claus Porto's Voga is very mild in both color and fragrance as well.

    BTW, I would not consider MWF's yellow-wrapped bar soap to be gentle; the two cited above are significantly kinder on the skin.

    : I have been trying to find a bath soap that
    : is
    : truly moisturizing (along the lines of
    : Mitchell's Wool Fat) AND that has minimal
    : fragrance.
    :
    : I received some MWF bath soap as a gift, and
    : it makes a very rich, moisturizing lather.
    : The scent is irritating, but if I leave an
    : unwrapped bar in the garage for a couple of
    : weeks before use, it is tolerable. And the
    : scent dissipates from there.
    :
    : I ordered some Claus Porto soaps in the
    : Grapefruit Fig fragrance, hoping that it
    : would be less irritating. Unfortunately,
    : the fragrance has a very aggressive effect
    : on my olfactory, the soap doesn't lather
    : easily (even in my soft water), and it
    : doesn't seem very moisturizing. (I'm going
    : to have to throw out a $10.00 bar of this
    : soap and give away the 2 others.)
    :
    : Can anyone tell me which of Giovanni's soaps
    : are the most moisturizing AND the least
    : scented?

    : Many thanks!
