Finally, a citrus scent that doesn't smell like citrus
I really like this dish soap, and the scent might be my favorite part. I went with Citrus Oasis, and it doesn't have that overbearing, single-note citrus smell a lot of "citrus" products lean on. Rather than just orange or lemon, which gets kind of boring after the first wash, this one opens with tangerine and peppermint, settles into lavender and rosemary, and finishes with a bit of cedarwood and fennel underneath. It smells fresh and a little herbal instead of like fake sunshine in a bottle, and honestly it smells exactly like something you'd want at your sink rather than something overly sweet or fruity.
I also love that it's a concentrate. You add your own water at home (about 125 mL of concentrate to 375 mL water per bottle), which cuts down on the water and plastic you're shipping across the country for something you'll dilute anyway. That fits how I try to shop these days, so it feels like a small thing that adds up.
And it actually works. It cuts through grease without much effort, and my hands don't feel stripped or tight afterward, which tracks with the formula skipping sulfates and synthetic fragrance. It's also biodegradable and septic safe, though I don't have a septic system myself so I can't speak to that part firsthand.
One pouch makes five bottles, so it lasts a good while. I'd buy it again.
