Unscented Soaps?

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
Does anyone use unscented soaps and deodorants so they won't interfere with the scents notes?

Yes, I use bar soap by L'Amande, a line from Italy. (Available at beautyhabit.) Dr. Bonner's also makes an unscented liquid castile soap. Both are for babies, I think, but they are gentle to the skin and clean well. My solid antiperspirant has a light scent that doesn't seem to interfere with anything I use. I also use scented bar soaps that harmonize with the notes in my fragrances, just another take on layering.

That's my strategy.

Maybe these threads can be merged.

Ditto dr bronners unscented. All the dr bronners goodness without any scent. Inexpensive as well. And yeah I think this is a thread in mens grooming, but why restrict it to guys? (Although the ladies probably all know about unscented soaps already)

I have used unscented Olive Oil Soap with very good results for giving my fragrances added staying power.

Recently, I've been using Dove extra sensitive unscented soap and, besides not interfering with any scent, the skin interaction is very mild yet also very cleansing.

I often use unscented Goat Milk soaps and they're great.
All the local drugstore chains have their own house-brand.
Ditto for Dove unscented.

I enjoy scented soaps and don't find them strong or long-lasting enough to interfere with any fragrance I wear.

I've used the simple range for twenty odd years now. As they say: " not scented, not coloured, just kind."
Suits my sensitive skin and doesn't compete with my Frag.

The Clinique mens line is great and it's all scentless. I use the soap, exfoliate, shaving cream, and moisturizer. My skin complexion is much better since using.

Dove and Ivory are good

The unscented body wash from the Dove men's line (gray bottle) is great. The regular Dove unscented (in the white bottle) actually has this strange apple/cinnamon smell.

I use unscented everything where possible; I really hate random smells, whether I'm wearing perfume or not. (Super annoyed right now with my shampoo; my hair is bleached at the moment and I have hard water, so I'm using a purple toner shampoo to keep from going wildly brassy, but can't find one that doesn't reek -- and keep reeking; I can smell my hair all day.)

My favourite "unscented" soap, though, does have a smell -- it's Pears, which has a mild resinous odour. It doesn't linger at all, and smells very natural, however. Pears has also never irritated or dried my skin, which is more than I can say for a whole lot of other soaps I've tried. (I use soap on my face as well as everything else, as my face is much happier with a minimum of fuss and product.) Many "unscented" products do actually have perfume added anyway, a soapy musk, except for the all-natural ones.
