Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap, Made with Essential Oils, Biodegradable Formula, Basil, 12.5 fl. oz - Pack of 6

I bought this because of numerous reviews from different sites. I thought itd be fun. Its not a bad or horrid fragrance, but I would never have bought this if Id smelled it first. There is nothing about it that brings to mind basil, which I adore. I dont like chem-batch fragrances and this is just one more disappointment. It almost feels as if someone took advantage of me, which I know is ridiculous, but, well, it aint basil.

Love the smell of this soap!

The outer box label says there are 6 basil but that’s not what we received. We will keep them, and use it as an opportunity to try new scents, since it’s hard to go very far wrong with Mrs Meyers soap.

Awesome smell. Wonderful soap. I gave this away to my girlfriends for Christmas in my My Favorite things box. Its great and the price is hard to beat.

Aroma too strong for me. Otherwise, I do like the feel of the product. And it seems to clean well leaving no residue on the hands.

I really, REALLY like Mrs. Meyers basil hand soap. I love the price point and ingredients. I like the (semi-masculine/unisex) scent and packaging a lot. Its not overly drying and very much appropriate any place in the home. This is one of my top 5 hand soaps!

Im a grubby blue collar worker so my hands are an eternally greasy mess. Not only does this soap do an excellent job of removing filth the basil scent is an absolute delight. I have very little tolerance for most perfumes and scents, most of our cleaning products and detergents are either dye and perfume free or very nearly. This basil scent is very, very complex and strikes a nearly perfect olfactory balance of subtle herbal, floral and astringent (in a nice way) scents. All those reviewers incapable of appreciating this masterstroke are olfactorily impaired and have my sympathies.

This cleans my hands so well and leaves them soft and never dry, just clean and the sage smell is so nice!

Enjoyed the scent of this soap. I would purchase this again. My husband liked it better then the Rhubarb scent.

When my wife bought this soap and told me what scent it was, I wasnt super excited. I love the smell of basil...you know...on FOOD. That said, this has turned out to be one of my absolute favorite of hand soaps. The basil fragrance is mixed with something sweet (maybe the Eucalyptus and Cedarwood oils?) to create a wonderful blend that wont leave you at all feeling like you smell like a side-dish. I dont believe that this hand soap is anti-bacterial (someone please correct me if I am wrong), so that would be my one criticism. In my opinion, I would much rather have an anti-bacterial soap that is harsh on skin than a regular nourishing soap, but thats just my own preference and I havent taken a star off for this because I knew it going in. That said, with a mixture of essential oils and olive oil, you know that this soap will leave your hands nourished and smooth! This is a very reasonably priced soap for the amount you get in each bottle, and the dispenser pump works without issue (you may not think this is important, trust me, Ive seen these fail on numerous other brands)! Highly recommended!
