Greetings
I think it's a first class soap, I shared a block with another member several years ago now, it does have a more Christmas cake/marzipan/kirsch smell than Vitos but I found the performance more or less exactly the same. The trouble with buying the 1 kilo brick is that you might well get bored with it as it will seem never ending! I suspect (I have not tried them all) that most of these Italian almond soft soaps are really quite similar in the same way as are (IMHO) most of the Turkish shave sticks.
