Does this soap have a fermented smell? It’s a bit like the smell of someone who hasn’t showered in several days.
Then it has a rose fragrance on top of that. To make sure I didn’t get a defective one, I even bought a second bar.
It has a carved cow and “COW” on it, and I actually really like that detail. It kind of makes me want to hurry up and wash it down until it’s flat, haha.
I think it lathers pretty well, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling too squeaky-clean or tight afterward. Too bad I’m not sure if I’m just too used to synthetic fragrances, but I’m not really used to this scent. It’s a long-established brand, though.

Cow Brand Red Box
Old-Fashioned Soap that Gently and Thoroughly Cleans
This creamy lathering soap contains milk and squalene to help moisturize.
It is a popular, long-selling product that has been on the market since 1928.
Important parts of the manufacturing process cannot be replicated by machines and are instead entrusted to talented and experienced craftsmen, and the soap is slowly aged and carefully crafted.
High-quality ingredients derived from natural fats and oils make up the “natural moisturizing ingredients” in this soap, making it gentle on the skin.
It has a gentle rose-like floral aroma that stays with you even after you finish your bath.

This classic brand has been selling for so long for a reason. It's all-natural and still handmade. I always buy this soap at drugstores in Taiwan!

This is my favorite soap. It’s an old brand, so I feel really comfortable using it. I use it for both bathing and washing my face. Not only is it affordable, but it also feels great after using it. I’ve already recommended it to my friends and family! (*^_^*)
