Googling out of curiosity I found a soap of this style being sold online, though maybe its manufacturer isn’t the same as of what you had.

Thanks to both of you!

Lixone is one of the ones I’ve found, but there have been a lot of ‘knockoffs’, and I believe the real, original, was by Krisbel. I keep watching the La Tienda site (they used to have it, too) and Soap Opera, but it’s been quite a while since anybody had it.

I’m telling you, though: if anybody could get hold of that recipe and make it again, they’d get rich!

The problem with many of the old soaps, perfumes, etc. that have been discontinued or reformulated, is that they used REAL ingredients, not synthetic fragrances. In many cases, those ingredients have become prohibitively expensive.

Another really nice Spanish soap is Heno de Pravia; but it’s a much more robust, herbal soap, smelling strongly of lavender and one other note that I can’t quite place. I like it a lot, but still prefer Yardley’s English Lavender as a soap along that line - and fortunately, it’s still widely available for a very good price.

Does anyone recall Ben Rickert’s ‘Benandre’? For some reason, Macedonia seems in my memory to have been a lot like that.
