Mirai Clinical Persimmon Soap Bar for Old People Smell - Nonenal® Solution - Japanese Persimmon and Green Tea Extract - For Men and Women - Gentle on All Skin Types - Natural Body Odor Soap

This stuff is amazing. I am in my 40’s now and heard of a thing called nonenal. I didn’t know this existed and it freaked me out. If you don’t know what nonenal is, it’s basically just “old person” smell. We all know that smell. Just think of your grandparents house when you first walk in after not being there in a while. Apparently, nonenal is oils that oxidize and can’t be removed by normal soap. At least that’s my understanding and since it doesn’t get broken down it transfers to clothing, furniture, etc. Anything our bodies come into contact with. Now, we all know that we are the last ones able to smell our own funk but everyone around us can smell it just fine. And what I read it says that nonenal starts in your 40’s. See why I was freaked out now? But I am also going through perimenopause and am paranoid that I smell different because of the hormonal shift. This soap is supposed to be able to break down the greases that cause “old person” smell and also help deodorize hormonal smell too. So I thought I would give it a try. They show you the areas of your body where the smells come from. One of which is behind the ears and back of the neck. I would have never guessed that those areas caused the smell. But I think it’s fair to say that we all know how behind the ears can get real funky if they aren’t washed regularly. Now get ready because I am going to get slightly gross for a minute. I rubbed my finger behind both my ears and smelled and yeah, it wasn’t great, even though I just washed that morning. So I gave the soap a shot and in particular focused on behind the ears. The result were pretty remarkable. I washed behind my ears on day one and then didn’t do it again for 3 days. Constantly smelling that area each day. The smell stayed gone for 2 days and by about the 3rd day it was starting to become slightly noticeable. That made me a believer. So I started using it in all the places the nonenal is at. I start by washing my entire body with regular soap and then at the end of my shower I use this soap in all the places they teach you that nonenal shows up. I have to say that I feel much more confident about how I smell after using it. No one wants to go through hormonal changes but we all have to. At least now we can be more comfortable in our skin while we go through it. I know it’s very expensive for a soap. But it is worth it. And if you only use it on the parts of the body that the nonenal smell comes from you won’t have to buy it again for a couple of months. Lastly, you need to be aware of the many knock offs that are out there. Be careful not to buy a soap that claims to do the same thing for a cheaper price. As far as I know, this is the only brand sold in the U.S. that actually has the ingredients in it that helps with the smell. So only buy this brand and even then be careful that you aren’t being sold a bootleg. It needs to come from Mirai. Even here on Amazon, you need to make sure you buy it from the Mirai store. It would really suck to pay this much for a soap that never worked. All that being said, I know I am not going to be without it, but that’s just me. Hope this long winded review helps.

This was a first time purchase based on advertising and reviews. I gave it as a gift, along with a Blissali exfoliating shower towel. The recipient has commented on loving both items. The soap has not been used long enough to evaluate. However, I used the soap and found it lathers nicely, with a light pleasant fragrance. I cannot comment on the number of uses per bar.

The scent is mild and lathers well. I noticed a decrease in body odor after a day. The soap leaves my skin silky smooth. However, the size of the soap for the price is a bit steep, For a soap that is for everyday use.

Very nice soap , lathers well, good strength , pleasant scent , leaves skin soft and clean , also a good size to fit into hands I Liked everything about this soap except the price. I recommend this soap if price is not a concern

Well, I'll be damned.. over the last year or two I have been noticing a change in the way I smell. I wouldn't say I smell bad by any means, (not a typical BO onion armpit smell), but a very faint musty smell on the armpit area even after changing deodorant and trying different things. I doubt anyone else could smell it unless their nose was pressed to my armpit, but I learned about 2 Noneal as we age and thought MAYBE this is what is happening to me? It can't be my hygeine. I am meticulous about my self care and smelling nice but I am going to be 45 this year so maybe it's old people smell? The thought of it makes me cringe, but guess what?? THE SOAP WORKS. I can no longer detect even the slightest hint of musty. Clean and fresh like a frigging daisy now. Thank you Mirai! I wish the soap wasn't so expensive, and also think it would be nice if it had a pleasant fragrance, but I get it and will continue to purchase for life.
