What does the tar smell like and does it stay on the skin? — NK toilet soap Tar 4x100 g

The aroma is one of the main things people ask about before buying this product. It is not a floral or fruity fragrance; it is a specific, smoky, slightly medicinal tar note that many users expect from classic tar soap. Some people find it unpleasant at first, while others associate it with a simple, functional cleanser.

During washing, the lather carries the smell, so it is clearly noticeable in the bathroom. However, this is a rinse-off soap, so the scent is not left on the skin to the same extent as a perfumed body wash. After rinsing and drying, some people notice a faint smoky trace, while others do not. If the smell matters to you, choose a time when you can rinse well, and follow with your usual moisturizer or deodorant; normal care products will mask or reduce any residue.

If you strongly dislike the birch-tar aroma, you will notice it every time you wash. A good way to understand the scent is to try one bar before deciding whether the multi-pack is right for you.
