Initial strong scent that settles down when exposed to air for a while; decent soap for harder water
When you open the box, the smell is a bit overwhelming. Suggest you let the individual boxes &#34;breathe&#34; on a porch or outside for a day or two. Then things calm down. They lather well is semi-hard water; maybe over lather in soft water. I've adjusted to them and will continue to use them, now that the odor given off is manageable. So far as I can tell, the scent is &#34;green tea&#34;  but the soap itself is basic Dial glycerin soap scented to smell like green tea.
