As for the scent, upon my first opening of the packaging, it definitely had a strong soap smell with perhaps a hint of something citrus-y in the background. We will also share the fascinating history behind this soap which I think is what makes it so unique. Below are the instructions from an Ivory Soap advertisement on how to use Ivory Soap as a shave stick. For those (like myself) that prefer a lower cost shave soap option I've found that adding a small amount of Ivory to my now go to Van Der Williams blend (Ivan Der Williams anyone? Since the tip above talks about finger nails, I thought this was another great option from this publication.
You can also spray hydrogen peroxide on top of this solution once it is applied to a stain to enhance the stain fighting! I would like to avoid any chemical additives and when I read the Body Wash ingredients I’m not sure what all of them are. The remaining eight raw materials used for Ivory must meet more than 20 raw material specifications.I began using decades ago when I decided that I didn’t need all the extra chemicals being added to push fake claims about how a brand was different; “improved. At 40% there appears to be enough Sodium Laureth Sulfate (foaming agent) from the Van Der Hagen to easily create a thick, rich lather. Gamble, who was a chemist, had discovered how to make the soap float and noted the result in his writings.
Whereas handlathering soap allows for a microscopic cushion that gives more slickness and plenty of cushion. And ultimately the lather is thick enough that my razor isn't as close to my skin as I'd like, the blade isn't going under each whisker but is floating above them just a little. We have shared posts like old-fashioned skincare tips that work and old-fashioned cleaning products that work amazing!
I was hoping I'd get longer blade life and closer shaves but I was sorely disappointed on both counts. I suspect the ones I have may be between that gap as the label (moon logo) appears slightly differen than the ones in the pic.
You can rub this solution on clothing stains, let it sit for awhile then wash as you normally would.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Or why not release your inner earth goddess by closing your eyes and imagining you’re surrounded by roses, sandalwood and honeysuckle blooms in your own personal Garden of Eden?

Curious where did you obtain that picture/information of all the old ivory soap bars with the year it was made underneath it?
