I'm going to rate this one only on scent, because I purchased it as a gift for someone, so I haven't "used" it. It smells very fresh and clean! The blend of basil and aloe give it a fresh "green" scent. Not perfumy, but more of a natural scent. I think the gift recipient is going to love it! I'm going to get some for myself when I'm out of my Honeysuckle and Lilac Hand Soaps.
Pros: Attractive Packaging, Kitchen Hand Soap, Pleasant Smell
The Basil scented products used to have a fantastic crisp, clean and natural scent; they truly smelled like fresh cut basil. The basil hand soap was my "go to" hand soap. Some years ago the products were reformulated. Ever since the basil products smell like an awful cheap perfume. And without the label I would never identify the scent as "basil". I still take a sniff at the store hoping one day it smells as it once did. Unfortunately, still terrible.
I absolutely LOVE the basil scent. I have the basil hand soap in my kitchen and my bathrooms. It's such a great hand soap no matter how many times a day I wash my hands it doesn't dry them out, it leaves them soft and smelling wonderfully fresh. I have gotten my mother and husband hooked on the basil smell as well. I would really like to see more products in the basil scent especially the surface scrub, bathroom foam cleanser and toilet bowl cleaner. I had them before but they wee discontinued and I really hope that Mrs. Meyers brings them back, I know I'm not the only person asking. So please please please MORE BASIL!!! Thank you :)
Pros: Attractive Packaging, Cleans Effectively, Easy To Use, Kills Bacteria, Long Lasting, Moisturizing, Pleasant Smell
I recently replaced all of the hand soaps throughout our home with Mrs Meyer's Basil Clean Day. I love that it is cruelty free, but oh that wonderful scent! How I love the Basil fragrance! And I must admit, your beautiful labels caught my eye when I saw them for the first time. Then after I tried some of your products including this hand soap, I was smitten. Cruelty free...the label, the scent and the wonderful way that my hands feel after I use this...I will never go back to my former hand soap brand again. I am so impressed with Mrs Meyer's products that I am telling everyone about them. I shop in stores that carry your products but they do not have the full line. I just placed my second order with you and I want to share with those who might be considering this fragrance...it is just heavenly...fresh, clean...not over-powering and this hand soap makes your hands feel so soft. You will feel as if you just used hand lotion and not soap on them. It is a winner!

Apparently this smell is either one you really like or really don't. For me it is just overpowering! I like the Lemon verbena but thought I would try something different. Our store doesn't have that many choices in fragrance. Plan to try the Apple.
Pros: None
Cons: Gave Me A Headache, Made Me Nauseous, Smell Lingers On Hands, Unpleasant Smell
I have already written reviews for the Parsley products, but need to add one for the Basil products. The herbal fragrances are so delightful, and different from the same old same old fragrances everyone else uses in their products. I have used the parsley and basil for years, and will continue to do so. I have also tried each new fragrance as they come out, but nothing surpasses the herbals for me. Thank you, Mrs. Meyers for continuing to make them.
