For the guys I bought this soap for the guys in the household. None have complained of an unpleasent scent. All agree it works well. January 31, 2012

Non Drying, Fresh and REAL scent! Gotta disagree with my friend here who claims that the smell of Grandpa's soap is reminiscent of rubber tires. The reality is, this smells like pine tar. A somewhat 'bitter' smell, for lack of a better word, piney for sure, but fresh and clean. Having said that, everyone is different, so your enjoyment of this product may vary, depending on how much you like real pine smells. Perhaps if you are expecting a Christmas tree smell you may be disappointed -- this is a pine tar based product, and will smell accordingly. Again, it's a complex scent, and rewarding to those who give it a chance. Now, as to it's effectiveness as a soap. Grandpa's is fantastic. It's cleansing without drying as a hand soap, and can be used sparingly on the face and other sensitive parts. I even used it in my hair to good effect. So yes -- I love this soap, and I don't care who knows it. Try a bar! November 8, 2011

Great for Laundry I make my own laundry soap out of baking soda wash soap, borax and this pine soap. I have tried other bar soaps in the mix but the pine soap makes my laundry cleaner. Whites are whiter. I dont care for the smell when it is in the bar from, but my laundry comes out smelling fresh with no perfume type smell. Just a clean smell. October 25, 2011

regarding the smell... Some folks have likened the smell of this soap to old tires....It depends on where you grew up, I think. Every single person I have given this soap to in Canada has LOVED the smell! It is exactly like a campfire built with pine logs. I live in Alberta, where it is ridiculously dry, and found that I can use this soap ten times a day without my hands turning into flaking paper. Thanks Grandpa! June 6, 2011

Hideous smell I was intrigued by the homespun name.Grandpas homemade soap...sounded like a warm hug. and these few reviews by folks who actually liked it...the one lady who said she likes the way it makes her smell 'different' ....geez,like a skunk it would be. This soap,I will not lie,smells up the entire bathroom and the entire House with an odor that smells like a tire factory. and it took 4 days for the scent to fade off my body. I smelled like a new rubber tire. Hideous. I also bought the corn soap from grandpa....also very disappointing....absolutely smelled of chemical fake fragrances,awful.threw it all away. I love quality soaps,natural soaps,made in france, etc. the kind you pay 8 dollars for . Grandpa s soaps were hideous. November 24, 2010

An acquired taste When I first took a whif of this soap I thought that it smelled like a smoky tire... While I know that sounds terrible the scent began to grow on me over time, although, I would probably not purchase again. I thought this soap was interesting and wanted to try it and have no regrets in doing so, some people love this soap so you may too. Different strokes for different folks. November 22, 2010

Not for me Although the pine tar soap makes a good lather and is kind to the skin, I am turned off by the "creosote-like" smell of it. I suppose it had something to do with my expectation that it would smell more like pine needles or turpentine, but also because I once lived across from a place that put creosote on railway ties.

Great Product! I have alot of pets, (that need petting : ) and so I have to wash my hands dozens of times a day .... And living in the desert is hard on anyones skin to begin with ....So, I am very happy we can still buy the kinds of products our grandparents were smart enough to make, because I'm finding that Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap doesn't add to the dryness I had been experiencing before, (with other soaps) ..... In fact, it leaves my hands soft, clean, and feeling moisturized, no matter how many times a day I have to wash my hands! So, I am petting my pets more often, and using less lotion now too.

Waiting to receive what I Know is good! I've been using Grand pa's Pine Tar soap for all of my walking life. I know how smooth my skin is; and I am awaiting my order shipment! It's not that easy to find in stores. My family all know the high quality! I'm gratefull " my own" grandpa started me up right a long time ago when I was so ... Young. I can hardly wait for my shipment to arrive! Sincerely , Grandad January 28, 2009

I'm addicted to this stuff I love this stuff. It's addictive. It's odd because it's brown and leaves a bit of dark residue in the soap dish but I don't mind. It smells so good and reminds me of driving up in upstate NY at night in the summer and smelling all the pine trees. It lathers up clear and is made from coconut oil which is very good for dry skin. Try it especially if you get dry winter skin (though when summer comes, you may not want to give it up.) January 26, 2008
