Bar soaps are usually more utilitarian than fun, but the sweetly scented Dove Plant Milk Cleansing Bars actually liven up your shower. The fragrances are subtle while you’re sudsing—so I get a hint of coconut or berry or lemon as I start or end my day, depending on which bar I reach for—and they don’t linger on skin for long, so they won’t compete with fragrances you wear. I keep one of each in my shower now, and love reaching for a different one every day—when I need a little pick-me-up in the morning, it’s Lemon Drop; when I want to decompress at night, it’s Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee; and when I’m in the mood for a little something sweet, it’s Berry Brulee. I’ve always been a fan of the Dove Beauty Bar (which is probably still the better bet for dry or sensitive skin), so I wasn’t surprised to find that the soapy lather on these Dove bar soaps is gentle and easy to rinse off—what I didn’t expect was how they would turn my showers into what feels like mini aromatherapy sessions.
