Ordered December 12th, shipped December 13th, arrived December 15th -- plenty of time before Christmas! Both the seller and I live in California. Nevertheless, I was pleased because sometimes sellers intentionally stall shipment in they live in the same state as you.I won't be trying this soap myself as this one is for a gift, but the apart from the fast shipping, the packaging was wonderful. The soap was neatly wrapped in white tissue, and the soap packaging (as shown in the product's image) is attractive.The scent of the soap is very orangey and pleasant. Smells very natural and not processed or overwhelming. I absolutely love the honeycomb texture on the top of the soap! So cute!The soap itself is very soft and silky, not oily or dry. Seems to be recently made. The ingredients are simple and safe. I love that this bar includes coconut oil, which is very good for both hair and skin, especially for those with sensitive skin, eczema, and the like.I would love to order more in the future from this business! The variation of scents offered are very unique and are perfect for gifts.
