Same price or a bit more of artisian soap, but it has be purchased online, so shipping has to be included also. The scent is "all ball gowns and combat boots. Raw, smokey leather and sweet vaillia musk, engulfed in a sheet haze of exotic florals-ylang, neroli, jasmine, lilac, and tuberose. The scent is ok. Can't smell anything unless I put my nose up to it. With washing, it doesn't have any lather or suds.
