After trying and loving the immensely popular Rose body cleanser by Patanjali (review here), I went for the Mogra or Jasmine body cleanser. I think Patanjali has three such body cleansers (glycerin soaps); rose, lemon, and jasmine (mogra). The rose and lemon are similarly packaged and shaped, but this one is different.
So, as you can see from the picture, it comes in a white box with pictures of jasmine on it and a little "peep" to show the soap inside it. The soap itself is oval shaped and a little bit thicker than the rose and lemon soaps. It comes wrapped in a transparent plastic sheet to seal the fragrance. It is a translucent soap in a lovely green colour. Green happens to be my favourite colour! And jasmine is my favourite fragrance. It doesn't take two guesses to conclude that this instantly became my favourite combination in a soap.
If your favourite fragrance is jasmine, then go for it, as this soap will transport you to a jasmine garden. Even after bathing, the fragrance slightly lingers on. It is heavenly!
It lathers well and the lather is very soft. The soap best suits dry skin, moisturizing it and making it softer. Oily skin will feel soft too, but will need 2 - 3 washes with this one to completely erase the oil out of the face (or body). It gives a very nice glow to the skin after a bath because jasmines are very soothing and moisturizing in property. It has borax in it which makes it a very safe and gentle cleanser. Although these soaps are named body cleansers, this soap can be perfectly used on the face too. It is not only safe but more gentle than any other face washes because it has glycerin in it.

It is a very, very soft textured soap. It melts rather easily. So, its lasting power isn't very long. When I opened the soap for the first time, there was a whitish film (as in the picture above) on it and has some edge pieces broken off. The whitish film is a residue of the soap drying from the soap making process. Once I used it, that film never appeared again, so it is surely not moisture. Then the soap is so soft that even a little pressure causes breakage at the edges.
So, overall it is an amazing soap. I loved the rose one earlier, but jasmine is more my cup of cappuccino! I am yet to try the lemon one. I hope it is citrusy and crisp just like lemon sorbet. That would be awesome. Have you tried any of these soaps? What do you think about them? Leave your experience in the comments below.
