Let me start by saying, this isn't just soap - it's a lifestyle upgrade. The Tobacco Vanilla scent hits you with this warm, spicy hug (clove! cinnamon!) that somehow makes showering feel like a luxury spa moment. As someone who's battled with dry, itchy skin for years, the olive oil and cocoa butter combo here is a game-changer.

First use revelation: My skin didn't scream for moisturizer immediately after washing. The lather is creamy but not overwhelming - perfect for shaving (yes, I tested it everywhere). Bonus discovery? It actually works as shampoo! My hair felt clean but not stripped, though fair warning - the olive oil base gives a slightly different texture than commercial shampoos.

The real shocker? I got adventurous and used it for hand-washing delicates. Clothes came out fresh without that chemical detergent smell. Though heads up - in hard water areas like mine, you might notice slight residue (but nothing a quick extra rinse won't fix).

Now the not-so-perfect bits: The scent could be stronger for my taste (I want everyone to smell my amazing soap aura!). Also, while the ingredients are mostly organic, the fragrance is synthetic - a bummer for pure essential oil enthusiasts.

Pro tip: This stuff is CONCENTRATED. That massive 32oz bottle lasts forever because you can dilute it (1:1 ratio works great). Saw someone complain about residue? Probably didn't dilute properly - rookie mistake!

Final verdict? After testing it as body wash, shampoo, shaving cream AND laundry detergent...I'm officially obsessed. Dr. Bronner's who? Carolina Castile just became my bathroom MVP.
