Blue Power Carbolic Soap -4.4oz

I wanted to try it after reading the reviews, some people said it smells medicinal, which the smell is of chloraseptic throat spray after the soap dries due to the phenols in the soap, but while it’s wet it smells like ashes or burning rubber mixed with a tar smell. Yes I agree with the clean feeling that comes with using the soap and no traces of BO. The first time I tried it, the smell was so strong that I thought my house might be on fire so I hopped out of the shower to smell the house and everything was fine. It smelled like burning or burnt wood! As someone who loves soap, I do like it! Carbolic acid (the main ingredient) is a phenol derived from coal tar so once you understand that, it makes sense. The same phenol is in the medicinal throat spray. Hope this helps.

This is going to be an honest review and it may be TMI but hopefully this can help somebody like myself and actually talk about the soap rather than freaking TikTok or Marilyn Monroe 🙄. I live in the southern states, and it gets really hot here. For the last few months my armpits have been incredibly tender due to me having to scrub more because of all the hot weather. Regular antibiotic soap has not been working as it should and I start to smell very easily and sweat a lot. I'm not sure if they're changing the formula of my soaps that I've been using but I decided to give this soap a try. I did break the soap apart so I could use a small portion of it at a time and keep it sealed in a soap jar. It does smell, and I don't mind it but some of the reviews are right it does smell like medical herbs etc. I use the soap as intended, which is cleaning your body with it and then using a soap with a bit of perfume/sent afterwards. It's only been one day and I can tell this is going to be in regular rotation. I have sweat but my armpits are not sticky or irritated. My skin feels really clean and I don't smell. I could have really use this soap this past summer lol but I'm so happy I found it.

This soap stinks, it stinks up the entire house. It did not better or worse than my normal Dove bar... it was a one-time purchase I'll not repeat.

Wow this soap is the strongest smelling soap I’ve ever tried. I put it in the bathroom and a little bit later my husband asked me what is that awful smell? I really wanted to like this soap. It smells like anbesol and burning rubber. It’s a weird smell but it was growing on me. I used it a few times just to wash my hands and let me tell you. It’s fantastic because it makes you feel so super clean. The scent remained on my hands for a long time. I didn’t get to try it in the shower because my husband asked me if he could throw it away. The smell was overwhelming and making him nauseous. Even though I put it in an airtight container, when I took it out to wash my hands the smell filled the bathroom and it lingers for awhile. Bottom line is I think you should try it and see for yourself. It’s fantastic because works very well but the smell is overwhelming for some.

Radioactive smell but probably cuz im not use to it. The second it came out of the bag, it smelt like someone burnt plastic in the whole house. Absolutely what I wanna smell like. Must mean it works! Powerful scent, pungent enough to make anyone question if their gas is leaking in the house. Must mean I am super clean! Soap quality is excellent!

Extremely strong smell but once you get used to the smell the magic is does to your skin is amazing.. it seriously makes me feel super clean!!!

Erin Parsons did an IG video about Marilyn Monroe using this soap so I had to get a bar to see what she smelled like and the soap smells like a grandparents house, very medicinal and clean! I don't want to use it because I love smelling it in my cabinet lol. I think I will have to use it to see how it does on my skin, it smells so good like being a kid again!!!

If it’s good enough for Marilyn Monroe, it’s good enough for me! I had to try this carbolic soap because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a little bit of old Hollywood glamour in their life? From the moment I opened the package, I immediately got a strong whiff of this soap. This isn’t your average soap, it’s got that vintage, no nonsense, get you clean kind of power.The smell? It’s a classic. It takes you back to a time when life was simple and soap was strong. It lathers up beautifully and leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean without drying it out. I’ve used it for everything from my face and around any sensitive areas and I have had no issues.I’m pretty sure this is what Marilyn used to keep her skin glowing under the bright lights, and now I feel like I’m channeling a bit of her magic too. If you’re ready to step back in time and feel like a Hollywood icon, this soap is a must try!
