Soap

Pears transparent soap is a brand of soap first produced and sold in 1807 by Andrew Pears, at a factory just off Oxford Street in London, England. It was the world's first mass-market translucent soap. It now also comes as a liquid soap, which was actually one of the first things that Phil & I could smell when our sense of smell started to return! It also happens to be orange - ideal for today!
This is fabulous, I grew up with it as a bar of soap!

Pears - a blast from the past .. how I loved the smell and silky feel of the pear soap I didn't know they did a hand wash .... lovely light and golden glow

good idea from Leah, I had intended to do same.

I do think we were smelling it from memory at one stage; everything else smelt of nothing, but that. Smell pretty much back now, taste still bonkers.

Gosh, I can smell that even from the picture, it bring back such memories. My Gran always used it and I can still remember the feel and smell of her washing my hands as a small child!

You did the company a great advert for free. They should send you a full box of them as a token 'thank you'.

Perfect! My sister had Covid in November and just yesterday she said she was beginning to taste flavors. Covid has lingering effects for sure.
