I can't think of anything bad about this soap...maybe it doesn't last long...but it's soap...and knowing that I use it several times a day, I wouldn't expect it to last forever. I bought a giant block of it in LA...still have some left after a month. It smells amazing...not overly perfum-y, perfectly clean and fresh smelling. I only wish lush would make one of every product that smelled like this one. :)

It's creamy and smells nice, but isn't anything exceptional, imo. It's not THE best smelling soap that Lush has, it doesn't last very long/, the scent doesn't stay on your skin after you use it, and I'm not crazy about the pieces of fruit falling off into the shower (although it makes the soap look really pretty).
But there IS something really decadant about this soap that makes me want to try it again... perhaps in a tub and not my shower. I love invigorating smells, like citrus, so the creamy and subtle scent of Sultana wasn't that morning shower energizer that I need... this would be a good soap for a late night bath, I think.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
The most amazing scent! I cannot fully describe WHAT it smells like other than addicting! It leaves my bathroom smelling great for hours, and it leaves my skin soft and clean without feeling dry. I wish they made a complement body lotion for this scent! It's a great soap for anyone, truly.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I've tried a few types of soaps from Lush, but the Sultana of Soap is by FAR my most favorite! It has a nice lather, it's super creamy, and the scent is yummy and lasts quite a long time. I honestly can't stop sniffing my hands... it's a problem!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
Great moisturizing soap, but it was there one day and gone the next. While I was happy with its hydrating properties, it didn't seem like it lasted very long when compared to my other LUSH soap experiences. Definitely good for dry skin, just doesn't happen to be my favorite of the lot.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I really, really, REALLY wanted to love this product. But I can't. When I first got a sample of it at my local lush, I was iffy about the smell. I didn't particularly like it. But then when I used it in the shower, I was amazed. It was so moisturizing and it lathered so well! The best part is how soft it made my skin! It was amazing! But the part that made me very upset is its smell. I didn't really enjoy the scent in the first place and then it left that scent on my skin and I didn't like it at all. At least we know it lasts long! If LUSH had a similar soap with a different scent i'd be thrilled!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I received a sample of Sultana and used it in the shower with my shower puff. It lathered right up and was so creamy, and the smell is great. In fact, I turned off the water and just enjoyed the crazy lather. I wish it had a matching lotion. Because these soaps dissolve so quickly, it would be appreciated if the size were a little bigger.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
This was the first soap I tried at Lush...and it makes me feel skeptical about trying any other soap because I love it so much! It is creamy, but doesn't make you feel oily. It smells great and isn't too rough on your skin. I love how it moisturizes but isn't too heavy which is important to me living in Humid Florida. It is a must try!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I have only used this product once and that is all that it took for me to know that I LOVE it!! I received a small sample of this product with another purchase. WOW!! The scents were so subtle and so luxurious. The lather was oh so perfect. I left the tub wishing I had more than a sample. I have definitely added this product on to my favorites for gift time!!!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I got a chunk of Sultana as a free sample with my last purchase, and I just love it. I am not usually a fan of LUSH soaps, but Sultana smells just fantastic - it's the smell you can catch across the mall that tells you there's a LUSH nearby :) The soap is very creamy and has a nice lather without being super-foamy. The scent lingers on my skin lightly all day - like I just naturally smell great, not like perfume. It makes the bathroom smell great all day, too.
The only things I don't like: it dissolves really quickly on the tub shelf, even when kept out of water. It leaves a goopy residue on the shelf as it dissolves, too. It also leaves my skin feeling a bit "squeaky" like hotel soap at first - though I do feel overall that it is moisturizing.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I could not wait to try this soap as it is one of only a few sulfate-free bars Lush sells. To me, this soap smells so much like the Strawberry Feels massage bar. For this reason, I didn't love it, since the smell of Strawberry Feels is not my favorite. I also purchased Miranda, and I'm excited to try that out. I love the creamy texture of Sultana, the moisturization, and the price. Just not the smell :[

Im the type of person who has dry skin and the back of my legs itch of dryness and I absolute hate wearing lotion therefore I dont wear none.and let me tell you this took the itchiness away and left my skin smooth and smelling good.I went to the store with my mom and my mom is one of those skeptic budget type of people.she said she would never buy a bar a soap for [$] when she can get like 3 for 10 at the store.but I gave her a piece so she could try it and just yesterday she told me she was gonna buy the big block for her cause she absolutely loved it!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
This was the first bar soap I bought from lush, and I had no idea how it would turn out. But, i really think [$] would be worth it for this awesome soap! I love how it smells, and the smell even stays on your skin a long time after the shower! I really do feel it actually making me squeaky clean, and moisturized! This has to be the best bar soap I bought and I will defiantly re-purchase it again.

I liked this soap, but the smell was not my favorite. It wasn't unpleasant, just not for me. Also, the chunks on top of the soap get stuck in the drain.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I have been using LUSH since 2007 and this is by far my favorite bar soap that isn't seasonal. It is creamy and the smell is so nice during my morning shower. I also find the smell lasts awhile on my skin. I have them cut the soap into smaller chunks at my local LUSH because otherwise it will melt too quickly. Smaller chunks = more value for money. Raisins and other bits do end up on the bottom of the tub and in the drain so keep that in mind.

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I love this soap! It smells really really nice, like a fancy hotel room soap. It also gently exfoliates, so I love to use it on my legs before shaving. The lather is super creamy and rich, and leaves my skin super soft, and lightly fragrant. I recommend it to everyone!

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
Dear Lushies,
Since I have extremely sensitive and dry skin, the WONDERFUL Lush Ladies at the store recommended Sultana! I have the most awful skin.. dry bumps, eczema, flaking, the works. When I touched this soap at the store, it actually moisturized my skin, dry! My skin felt, well, LUSH! (Pun very much intended...)It has an okay smell, but because of how much it hydrated my skin, I WOULD buy it again. Although it's effects last, I feel like when I step out of the shower, my skin feels "squeaky" in a dry sort of way, if you know what I mean. I don't like this aspect of the soap, I FO SURE wouldn't give it up because of that. Thank you LUSH for making this wonderful soap!
Peace, Love, Blissful, Blissful LUSH...<3

Comments about LUSH Sultana of Soap:
I've tried a few of the other soaps before, but Sultana is my all-time favorite. It lathers amazingly, it's super moisturizing, it lasts fairly long and the smell....it's so hard to describe, but I love it & it lingers for a while as well. I highly recommend this soap to everyone.
The only con I can possibly think of are the raisins that end up on the shower floor, but it's well worth it lol.

Q:
can you use this soap on your face?Asked on 3/25/2012 by Anonymous15 answers
A:
Lush doesn't recommend you use their soaps on your face. The exception being Queen of Hearts. If you want to wash your face with a Lush Soap then I would definitely go for the Queen of Hearts!Answered on 8/25/2012 by aja222 from Boston, MAA:
I would not recommend. It is highly perfumed and I feel it is best used on the body. It is not something I would use around the eyes, or if you are prone to dry skin or breakouts. They have some great face soaps!Answered on 6/20/2012 by 2esmom from Schoten, BelgiumA:
I wouldn't recommend it. While the soap is very moisturizing I feel it would be a bit too drying for the face. Try one of the cleansers instead! My favorite is Angels on Bareskin.Answered on 6/18/2012 by Pam Isley from Miami FlA:
I have normal, breakout free skin that tends to get dry. I used this on my face once and it was fine and pleasant, if somewhat drying. It left my skin clean, but I prefer my Aqua Marina cleanser, which is more calming and soothing.Answered on 6/3/2012 by dameliac from Easton, CTA:
Yes, I use it on mine.Answered on 6/2/2012 by Emmy from Roswell,GAA:
I wouldn't, even though I think it wouldn't hurt (you just might experience some breakouts) This soap has a lot of oils that may not be a good fit for some skin types especially sensitive facial skin. For about the same price you can get some awesome face cleanser instead. :)Answered on 5/7/2012 by A new fan! from Kailua, HawaiiA:
It is very moisturizing, so I don't think it would hurt you to use this on your face occasionally. However, if you have any sort of skin issues (such as dryness or acne) I would recommend a soap formulated specifally for the face.Answered on 5/2/2012 by yeasayyer from Scranton, PaA:
I would not recommend it, this soap has sodium hydroxide, salt, and propylene glycol in it. Read the ingredients...this made my body itch.Answered on 4/30/2012 by Chicago Boogie from ChicagoA:
No, I would not recommend using this soap on your face. It is very moisturizing, but the little chunks of stuff in the soap make it very rough. While some may call that good exfoliation, I just call it unnecessary discomfort.Answered on 4/25/2012 by The Mad Plant Woman from Elk Grove, CAA:
I wouldn't.Answered on 4/19/2012 by CarmyLee from Seattle, WAA:
Lush doesn't recommend using their soaps on your face (Except Queen of Hearts!). As someone with acne prone skin, I would think this soap would be much too rich to use on my face, and the fragrances would be irritating. You're better off going with a face cleanser.Answered on 4/16/2012 by Heather from Houston, TXA:
I wouldn't reccomend it, it would probably irritate your skin, and easily get into your eyes! :)Answered on 4/12/2012 by Bella from NJA:
I'd say go ahead. It's pretty gentle, and although I've never done it myself I have sensitive skin in general all over and this soap has been nothing but nice to it.Answered on 4/3/2012 by Azurielm from Newark, DEA:
Lush is pretty good about telling their buyers if their soaps can be used on faces as well as bodies. If it doesn't say for it to be used on your face, it probably isn't made with sensitive enough ingredients for it. I think there's only one soap that they currently sell that's made for body, and okay for face, as well.Answered on 3/28/2012 by Brenna from Tucson, Arizona
A:
No, we do not recommend using the hand and body soaps on the facial area. The skin on our faces can be more delicate, and has different needs than the skin on our hands & body.Answered on 3/26/2012 by Megan from LUSH
