Is this soap from England or Thailand? "Original" is differently scented depending on origin.

I just went and got a bar.and I believe this"Original"4 oz. bar is UK.It has the same fragrance as those that I first became acquainted with in The UK.Unfortunately,the paper"sheath"which encloses the cello-wrapped bar is secured in such a way as to make the"made in"imposible to read.I believe that this is of UK origin.

I have used this soap for 30 years for shower only Initially I bought in the UK I have in the past few years obtained it fr Amazon The scent has been consistent

I don't think it makes a difference. I bought a 4-pack of 100g bars at a Boots store in London two years ago. The end of the multi-pack cellophane wrapper notes it is Made in Thailand. The soap, while no longer packaged in individual cardboard packs and no longer featuring a foil label on each bar (they're now plastic labels), feels and smells the same. However, it's lighter in appearance; the old soaps were a darker beige color.

It is original, England, although the scent is a touch weaker than what I remembered from way back when.

thailand. this is absolutely not classic imperial leather. it does not smell anything like it. the packaging clearly indicates thailand, under a licensing agreement from england. this is not made by cussons of england!

I've used this soap for decades and it smells the same as I've always known. On the soap is does not say where it is made but there is a UK telephone number 0800 581001 which might be able to help.

There is no mention of Thailand or where the Imperial Leather was manufactured on the bar's wrapper. There is a UK call free number and a UK free post address for on the bar for questions. The soap was purchased from British Delights and I assumed it was manufactured in the UK and did not notice a different scent. But when I compare the new 125g bar's scent to a 200g bar purchased in Europe a few years ago, is has slightly more of a lemon scent. On bar purchased in Europe years ago, it states that it was made in England and the 1st listed ingredient is Sodium Tallowate -- which is not listed as an ingredient on the bar purchased through British Delights. So there is a difference (or the formula changed in the last few years), but I like the soap and would buy it again.

This soap is made in England. The story goes that a Russian officer was in London in about 1789 and wanted a soap with the same fragrance that he could get at home. An English firm developed Imperial Leather -- I have always like this soap and used to bring as much as I could when I was visiting; however, it is nice to have a source available here. I don't know anything about the Thailand version of this soap.

I just checked the packaging on a new bar of "Original." It does not state where it is made.

The original would probably be the most neutral. The cherry one has a great scent and I don't think it's overwhelming at all.

I wondered the same thing when it arrived, because it "seemed" different. So I did some online research and it appears to have been reformulated a long time ago. Good news is that it still smells great, and I'm still receiving compliments on it.

yes, this soap is from spain, however there is also a licensee in mexico to produce & distribute for central & south america. the soap for men is "magno" & is completely different from the women's "maja," which has always been a women's fragrance, soap & eau de parfum, etc.

It differs totally, except taht both scents are 'clean' smelling.But for me, the big difference is that the earlier cologne stayed with you a long time. THis doesn't.

Hi Yanka,been wearing it for almost 12 years now and I too was amazed to see that it is original. However, I have purchased 3 of them here already and I must say the seal becomes a little loose unlike the ones I used to purchase. At half the price and I am willing to compromise. Scent is def original, I do not wear any other cologne/ perfume.hope this helps

The only difference is that one has SHEA BUTTER in it and the other doesn't. The black soap in your link doesn't have shea butter.*I am LC from NC.*

I prefer the Zote soap, sorry I can't remember why, maybe the scent but I think it cleans well and rinses easily so it's the only one I've used for years. I first bought it in Mexico 25 years ago.

First, the black soap is an herbal formula. There is no one formula for it. Every manufacturer is going to make is a bit different. I trust Nubian Heritage as it is made in the USA. However, the most popular brand on amazon for black soap is Dudu Osun. Based on its packaging it does appear a bit dirty brown. Dudu Osun is made in Nigeria and Ghana, so I suppose its formula is a bit for traditional and hence what you may have been reading. Nubian Heritage black soap is a rock solid quality product. Every country has different laws and then the enforcement of those laws vary greatly. Thats why I a bit leery when it comes to products being made in 3rd world countries. I happen to have lived in an impoverished 3rd world country and I know how things can go. In fact, quite a few of the beauty brands from where I used to live happened to be sold here. Now over half of them have been banned by the US govt. So, just keep that in mind.

Not sure actually, I have always carried the green bottle but I think it's the "original". Looking around on the web, they make other scents etc, but I like the original green bottle unscented.

Hi Annie, They are both vanilla scented. I am not sure what you are asking. Thanks, Amanda

No, I think it's not original, thought the box and bottle was ok, but fragrance not last on the body more than 2 minutes. I can compare cause I used to buy this perfume in Italy many times

That is a good question and I do not know the answer. Maybe you should contact the seller who made this soap and ask them. Best wishes.

This is the original perfume/smell not the new scent. Also tried the new perfume and did not like.

I don't think so. On the bottom of the teapot is says "England," "Original," and "Cauldon." I believe Cauldon is the manufacturer.
