It has a refreshing scent that reminds me of a walk in the forest. It comes out as foam, but the foam is firm enough that you can wash without rubbing. After washing, it leaves my skin feeling just moisturized without being too stripped.

Above all, I loved the scent. Its catchphrase, "Fragrant Forest Bathing," features a cypress and sandalwood scent. Perhaps it's the sandalwood? It smells almost like incense. As I washed my body, the scent wafted through my skin, cleansing, calming, and soothing. It's a scent that washes away the day's fatigue. People may love it or hate it, but I love it. After rinsing, the scent lingers faintly, but it's not too noticeable. It also dispenses a soft, fluffy lather with just one pump. A decent amount comes out with a little pressure, as seen in the third photo. It lasts well, so you only need two or three pumps to wash your entire body, making it a great value. The soft, fluffy lather is gentle on the skin. It rinses off cleanly and refreshingly, without leaving any sticky residue. Since it's a dry season, I applied body cream afterward, but even after leaving it for a while, I didn't feel any dryness or irritation. It didn't irritate my skin, either. The bottle is simple and stylish, with a black and clear finish. It's additive-free (free of alcohol, sulfates, etc.) and gentle on the skin. This is a great product, and I'm glad I bought it. It's hard to rate because some people like the scent and others don't, but I personally give it 7 stars. I love the unique scent and foam quality, so I'll definitely buy the refill again.
It has a strong sandalwood scent. The foam doesn't go flat, and one pump dispenses a fair amount, but if I want to wash my whole body with plenty of foam, I use four pumps. If I use a sponge, two pumps will do the trick. Compared to other body soaps, it's twice as expensive because it dispenses foam, but I keep buying it.
This is a sulfate-free body wash that contains myristic acid, lauric acid, and soap. It has a nice woody scent.
