Strong Clay Scent
I like everything about this BOB Bars Over Bottles shampoo bar except the scent, which unfortunately is a major player with me. The shampoo bar is packaged in an environmentally beneficial way, with a recyclable cardboard box just large enough to contain the soap and its paper wrapping. It is plastic free, vegan, cruelty free, and it uses natural ingredients. The ingredients include green clay, lemongrass, rosemary, and peppermint. I truly enjoy the scents of lemongrass, rosemary, and peppermint, so I didn't give the green clay part any thought at all prior to ordering this bar. Unfortunately, the scent of the green clay overwhelms the other scents enormously, and I don't find the wet clay smell enjoyable at all. The soap lathers and cleans well, and rinses out nicely. However, I don't want to wash my hair with something that smells unpleasant to me, especially since there are so many competing shampoo bars that smell wonderful and are just as environmentally friendly.
