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.

I'm 65 years old , and I don't know if I stink yet. 🤣. But, I can tell it's working because it does take the oiliness off my skin without leaving it dry. I feel much cleaner. It works great to also clean your scalp. Almost no scent. Lathers well. I think the bar will last me 6-8 weeks. I will definitely keep buying and using this.

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.

I bought this for normal stubborn body odors rather than nonenal odors (dont have those yet). This certainly did impress me. It lathers well, has a very mild neutral scent, and works just slightly better than the bar soap I've been using. I've been using an African black soap. If that gets me 98% clean, this soap gets me 99% clean. It's a slight improvement on something I had that was already very good. Considering that, price is the issue. I has shocked how truly small the soap is. Holding it in my palm and realizing I was looking at over $20 was absurd. It's a soft bar too, I imagine it wont last long. When you consider that there are soaps almost as effective and a fraction of the price, it's just not easy to justify future purchases of this. I'm happy to have satisfied my curiosity, but displeased enough to explore other brands.

This is fantastic -prevents odors!

I guess it does the job, but there are other persimmon soaps that do it more delightfully for less money. This little round thing is easy to drop, doesn't lather up well, and has almost no scent, so even I find it annoying. My husband, with his larger hands and more manly sense of self, hates using it. He loves using the rectangular Swarva soap, though, which comes with a soft, little mesh bag that makes it lather incredibly well. The Mirai soap? Eh...not so much. I won't buy it again.

This has a really pleasant and clean smell. It cleans your skin without stripping it and making it feel dry. We keep it in a wall mounted soap holder away from random water splashes so it seems to be lasting as well as any normal bar soap. We will be re-ordering when this bar runs out.

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

Totally overpriced.

Funziona

I don't know how, but it really does make you feel clean and odour-free. Though it costs a lot compared to most soaps, it lasts a very long time. I am on my second purchase of this product.

Excellent product- seems to take away oil as skin feels cleaner. Nice smell, like pears soap. Worth a try but is a bit expensive

Desde que uso este jabón, mi esposa se arrima más a mi, no sé por qué será.
