Ngl, I wouldn’t use the rose scented stuff either, but mainly because my nose would clog up if I tried. Most fake flower smells do it.

I’d just go ham and exfoliate harder. Soap isn’t actually necessary to be clean and not smell. It’s just much easier to achieve those goals with it than without. Hell, depending on where you’re washing on your body, soap can be a bad thing because even the stuff designed to not over strip skin won’t always live up to that promise.

Legit folks, if you run out of soap, you can be just as clean (as in dead skin cells sloughed off, excess oils gone, and any odors from the bacteria on your body gone) with just your hands, short term. You’d need something better at exfoliating than bare hands if it’s going to be over about a week, but it’s still doable. Longer term, soap itself is just faster, not better, than any other product that can reduce skin oils and any clinging dirt.

You’d be amazed how many people have strong sensitivities to most surfactants, or outright allergies to some of the more common ingredients. They can be right beside you in an elevator after years of not using soap, and you won’t know.
