Yes , this has been used in my family very long time. Very popular in Kerala. After bath, even bathroom smells the same. When after bath we pass by some one , even they can pick up this scent. Very beautiful and nostalgic. Thanks for showing this up.
Chandrika soap has been very popular in the US health food market for decades! Now that ethnic food markets are also quite common, it's easy to find there as well. Thank you for the review!
Surprised that this came in your radar so late ... I have been using this since the last 30 years till today !!! Amazing product. This and Mysore sandal are the only two soaps that have been used ...Mysore sandal more.for.my mother who refuses to use anything else
Dear Nikilsharan, Thanks for reviewing this soap I need to try and get my hands on it. I agree you have to endure a gruelling and punishing Summer in the subcontinent so I feel for you but I envy you also because of your warmer climate. Thanks a million
I couldn't agree with you more about this "gem". Been using it for 0ver 40 years now and it continues to be my numero uno choice! Yes. it is often hard to find but , for me, well worth the effort. And thanks Nikhil for the labor of love that you give to the fragrance community!
I am using it after watching your review on the same at your other channel. And it is the best soap, i have ever used. My family also love it. And i am purchasing it on special deals every time under ₹220.
Hi Nikhil, I've been using this soap since I watched its review on your hindi channel. Its an absolute bang for the buck, smells amazingly natural and even works as a subtle layering agent which complements my colognes especially during summer. Thanks for introducing another gem.
Hi, Nikhil, thank you for reviewing Chandrika Soap. I will definitely try this in summer. Presently I am using Medimix Ayurvedic Sandal (Fast Acting Ayurveda ) Soap. Can you please review the Medimix Sandal Soap? It has Eladi Oil for glowing skin. Thank you.
Chandika classic soap Mysore sandal centinial soap Mysore sandal talc Denver green , royal oud , And many more , etc ALL INSPIRED BY YOUR VIDOES . I use all of them . Waiting for many many more such videos . Thanks 🙏
I always wanted to say how much I appreciate Your taste and videos. After I basically blidbought Ajmal Wisal Dh. on Your recommensdation, after that Esraa, I know: of this guy tells something is interesting, he has my full trust. Tímea
In the early nineties ( I was in my thirties) my favourite perfumes used to be Statement by Etienne aigner and Farenheit. Farenheit is anyways discontinued I think and statement is not available in mumbai . If you know any availability of statement please let me know
Ah, soap= The Final Frontier. The only fragranced item I haven't studied and collected are soaps. I just never bothered buying them, but I know in time I'll start a collection of them too 😂. I currently use Mysore Sandalwood soap, an Indian import to the UK. I also bought Irish Spring soap online because in a Fragrance Guy video Dalya and Sebastian were reviewing Mousse Illuminee and Dalya said it reminded her of the smell of Irish Spring soap in her home growing up in the 1980s. Sadly, in 2022 it smells of almost nothing. I can imagine it was MUCH stronger in the 1980s. I was disappointed. Thank you for this video and being the flint that will surely ignite my next wonderful, quirky little hobby this coming autumn and winter. I'm excited to see what's out there in the land of high end, handmade niche soaps! PS= I sound like a geriatric nerd, oh no! 😅
Can anybody provide a UK link to this genuine soap from Wipro? There seems to be a new design packaging on ebay, also the design of the packaging seen in this video but made by another company.
It's crazy that you are in India and you needed Amazon to introduce you to chandraka. I guess it's not sold everywhere then. I've used it for years. I love it. But it is a little drying. It's not sold in any Indian store that I've seen where I live in the US. Usually those stores have Mysore sandal soap, Pears, Motil, and Godrej. In order to find Chandrika or even Cinthol I had to go to Amazon. This was years ago now.
Sir, again going to order this. I will go bankrupt soon, I have been watching so many international influencers, but you make me run and buy your reco asap. I just ordered l'occitain lavender and now this...
I believe you have made a review of this soap on your Hindi channel. I tried to find this soap in local stores but didn't get this anywhere as this is always out of stock. People buy this instantly as soon as it arrives.
Got this from Amazon after your review. It's amazing. That's a big difference between the ones manufactured in Karnataka and Kerala. You may want to try Kerala Sandal Soap also.
This is not the original one because this one is made by some other company under the licence of Wipro Chandrika. The original one which is made by Wipro itself is available on Flipkart. Packaging is also different between the two.
Wipro .OK. I've heard of them. Chandrika . Now to see if i can get int here on Amazon in the US. What was that other Sandalwood Soap you love so much ? Might try to get that also. Just bookmarked it buddy. Thanks .
@@noiseburst4410 It is common in supermarket of kerala.i use to buy from supermarket. You can search in Amazon also..but most of the time it is out of stock in Amazon.
Very high percentage of Caustic Soda in Chandrika so keep it away from Hair & face. Use below neck only. For face use Baby soap like Chico. For summer Anuved Vetiver is mind boggling experience. Mysore Sandal is right choice for night bath.
Some of the people in the video say men talk about women's hygiene or their getting bbls to look good ..I'm 49 yrs old and women talk about men too put them down ....when you sum it all up instead of bashing respect each other nobody's perfect
1:18 😱 21g of caustic soda in 75g of soap?!!!! It is necessary ~8g to saponify that amount of coconut oil. ☠️. I think that information of the soap composition is wrong. 🤔
Honest review : I purchased this soap,after smelling it I'm very angry because it is very bad smell I hate it, I have wasted my money 😑😟 Please guys don't buy and feel bad later.
I purchased this by his suggestion on Amazon it is 280rs of 6 soaps in pack, I would say I've ever seen bad worst smelling soap like this, I felt angry and sad because I have wasted my Money 😑.
Glad you found it. I've been using it for a year now. Such a great clean scent and clean skin feel. Greetings from FL USA
Yes , this has been used in my family very long time. Very popular in Kerala. After bath, even bathroom smells the same. When after bath we pass by some one , even they can pick up this scent. Very beautiful and nostalgic. Thanks for showing this up.
Does it dry the skin?
Are you still using it? I found it on eBay and want to try

Hey Nikhil, please review Lomani's EL Paso
I love this soap
Unexpected!! Will try.

Yes, Chandrika is originally made from our Kerala, and founded by CR Kesavan Vaidyar.
Yes..Chandrika soap is World's First Ayurvedic soap by Ayurvedic physician C.R Kesavan Vaidyar launched in year 1940.
i see this at my local grocery store..I'll buy it
Sir, again going to order this. I will go bankrupt soon, I have been watching so many international influencers, but you make me run and buy your reco asap. I just ordered l'occitain lavender and now this...
Chandrika glycerin for me is the best smell in a soap. Its just so different from everything else
Is the glycerin plant based or animal based?

Will this scented soap conflict with my fragrances I wear each day?
Probably.
Ordered it 😎🔥
Wipro .OK. I've heard of them.
Chandrika . Now to see if i can get int here on Amazon in the US.

I used this soap long ago and its harsh on my skin, it makes the skin really dry.
Do you know a similar scent of this soap in a cologne?
I am sorry I haven't found it yet
I feel it’s a nice compliment to Bath and Body Works Teakwood or Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.
In kerala chandrika and medimix are the most selling soaps...

Does anyone else also feel like this chandrika soap smells very similar to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino? Or just me?
It is marketing stratergy to sell this soap or its really good.?
'I used this soap long ago and its harsh on my skin, it makes the skin really dry.
@@sujith3684 yes
Then u should definitely try Radhas soap. Dont know its still in production. Very old soap.
Isme 22 %caustic soda hai
Grade 3 soap hai na.... Is it safe
I used this soap long ago and its harsh on my skin, it makes the skin really dry.
Does this have animals content?
Come on Kerala....
Fragrance is good but a good soap should not affect skin. It's not good during winter time.
