What does the wormwood scent smell like and will it linger on my skin or hair?

The characteristic scent comes from wormwood essential oil, which gives the soap a fresh, botanical aroma with a slightly bitter, herbal note. This is a traditional choice in cleansing products and contributes to the overall herbal character of the formula, alongside other botanicals like celandine, nettle, and green tea.

In terms of lingering scent, most cosmetic soaps with essential oils leave a faint, clean fragrance immediately after washing that dissipates quickly as the skin and hair dry. It is not designed to be a long-lasting perfume. The scent is most prominent during use when the soap is lathered. After you rinse thoroughly, any remaining scent on your skin or hair will be subtle and short-lived, typically fading within an hour or so. If you have very dry skin or porous hair, it might hold the scent a bit longer. For those sensitive to fragrances or who prefer unscented products post-shower, this is a factor to consider.
