  I think many people just don't know anything else than the typical supermarket variety. I was talking soap lately and when I said I loved how the soap left no smell behind they replied that they preferred to be left smelling 'clean', ie smelling like typical supermarket bar soap. Many people I've met associate that awful smell with cleanliness.

  > Do consumers really so strongly prefer hand soap with arbitrary smells added to it? I think most just don't care and don't really sense it. I don't care when I'm in public restrooms so long as there's liquid handsoap (or even bar soap if nothing else). But at home I mostly use sorbolene not because it's unscented (I think?), but because it doesn't have my skin dry and crack in winter. Otherwise in summer, I'm happy to just use the cheapest handsoap and bar soap for shower. Speaking of which, I don't like body wash (it's too cumbersome to use) and think it's only been popularised recently through marketing. All that said, when I'm in a kitchen, I'm more than happy to just use the dishwashing detergent... One time a coworker was astounded I washed my hands with the detergent in the break room; quite amusing. I feel it cuts through grease really well, and saves me having to have an extra handsoap dispenser by the sink. But yeah, the rest of the time it's sorbolene for me if the weather's dry.
