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

Im a new fan of the Mrs. Meyers products. Ive had some good experiences, but Im not at all crazy about the Basil scent. To me it has a very light stale odor reminiscent of a dank basement. I tried to like it, but no matter how many times I come back, thats all I can smell. ...The Geranium is good, as is the Lemon Verbena.

We really love this soap around our house. Use it all the time and consistently refill our bottles. The smell is very refreshing and unique. Perhaps a little unintuitive at first to consider -- but very very nice. This company sells refill bags that work well with the plastic bottles.

I absolutely love fresh basil. I love the way it tastes and I love the way it smells. On food. On me, I wasnt so sure. But having the utmost respect for every other flavor that Mrs Meyers produces, I decided to try it on faith. Boy, am I glad I did. The smell is a very green, clean, warm smell. I may not have thought basil at first, but you can smell more in basil growing wild in an earthy, rich garden - the smell of the flowers that grow at the top of the plant, combined with the beautiful ground it grows in. Wow, I love it. Certainly, as with everything Mrs. Meyers does, it works well. Like the other scents, it is very strong in the bottle, becoming less sharp and more rich when mixed with water. There is no chemical/perfume smell - only the clean smell lingers on your hands and reminds you to wash again. A+

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!

This 6 pack is a good value, especially for subscribe and save. Pity it smells nothing like basil. Its too sweet and smells off to me. Now I will need to find people to give the remaining 5 away too, as the scent is too strong and not basil like for me.

Mrs. Meyers hand soap kills your hands. Mine are cracked and dry unlike ever before. Ive been using the Basil and its a nightmare - its not just a bit of dryness, my hands are sore. Ive never had a problem like this with any soap or with excessively dry hands until I met Mrs. Meyers. Its the Chinese drywall of hand soaps.

I bought a six-pack as gifts for friends and family and kept a bottle for ourselves. What a nice clean scent, which everybody really enjoys. Is it basil, exactly? Not sure, I grow basil and well, its not exactly like fresh basil, but no matter, its unique and quite nice, and leaves a pleasant scent on the hands. Oh, and it also cleans the hands nicely and comes in a nice-looking pump container. I actually dumped the contents into out Simple Human auto dispenser and the contents fit exactly into the reservoir and flows well from the dispenser. Id like to try the others, although it would be nice if there was a sampler; or variety pack.

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

The best smelling soap ever! Wish the bottles were bigger

I love this soap! Works great, smells great, and easy on the skin. I would buy it again and it saved me some money over the brick and mortar stores in town.
