Thank you Chickadvisor, for giving me the opportunity to try Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar!

When the mail arrived, I could smell the Dove through the packaging and knew exactly what it was and was pretty excited to go and try it out.

Initially when I took the bar out of the box, I found the smell to be a little overwhelming and it gave me a bit of a headache and kind of burned my olfactory receptors. The smell is very strong!

Once I tried Dove in the shower and the scent had a chance to dissipate, I enjoyed the scent a lot better. The first time the bar got wet, I instantly noticed how creamy smooth it was and the lather was nice, just the right amount. After washing the suds off my skin felt so smooth and moisturized. At first, I thought it was a film left on my skin, but it was pretty apparent after drying off that my skin was a lot moister than when I went in to the shower. After reading some of the other reviews people wrote about using Dove to shave with, I am definitely going to try that also.

Overall, I am pretty happy with Dove. I have been using Irish Spring for over 20 years and it always makes me feel clean and the scent is nice but not too strong. I will probably continue to use Irish Spring because my husband doesn't care for the Dove scent so a total switch won't likely happen, but I will definitely use Dove in the winter when I absolutely need more moisture.

The price is a lot higher for a bar of soap than I am used to paying, so this will only be an occasional treat when used with a coupon and a sale.    -
