Works great and Fig scent smells amazing- generously sized travel body wash~
Scent: Fig, Scent: Fig
I am so used to seeing tiny travel sized toiletries at hotels and that's what I was expecting when I ordered this set. I was pleasantly surprised at how large each bottle is- 3.4 ounces apiece. Grab something out of your bathroom that is 3.4 ounces if you want to compare- but I have actually ordered lotions and body products that are supposed to be full size and they are 3.4 ounces. It's really nice because one of the reasons I tend to pack full size shampoos/conditioners/body wash/ etc. in my luggage on a week- long trip is because the travel sizes never actually last a full week and then you're stuck either using the generic products at the hotel or trying to find somewhere to buy something. This 3.4 ounce size should be enough to last a full week, maybe longer, depending on how much you use each day. I ordered the Fig scent and it is amazing. Fig is basically just a fruity scent so I'd say the fragrance is unisex and therefore this travel body wash could be used by men or women- that's nice because if your wife/girlfriend/sister/etc needs to use it, they can use it without feeling like they have to walk around smelling like a man. It is a fruity scent but it's not too bright like lemon or orange- it feels more sophisticated. The body wash seems a bit pricey but it's really nice and thick. It doesn't seem to be watered down or diluted like a lot of body washes, so you can use it sparingly. That's also nice for getting more longevity out of a travel sized product. Since the manufacturer didn't dilute it with water and make it thin/ runny, you can use it more sparingly and add water to it yourself. That makes it last even longer which is important when you're traveling for awhile. It works as a great cleanser and lathers up really well, especially with a body poof. It left my skin feeling soft and clean so no issues there. I would highly recommend it. 5 stars!

Great scent! Clean and fresh! Good lather!
Scent: Fig
These are great. They come together in a box. There’s 6 bottles that are 3.4 fl oz each. It’s made in the USA. I got the scent “Fig,” which is described as “a rich, elevated scent” with “notes of cedar and orange.” Another area on the product page described it as a “subtle, elevated scent.” To me, subtle and rich are opposites. Rich is something I’d expect to be more of a pronounced scent, and subtle I’d expect to be… well, subtle. I got these for my boyfriend. He’s pretty darn picky when it comes to scents. He likes clean, fresh scents. Nothing too woodsy, herbal, floral, or oriental. He also doesn’t like scents that are too strong, but does like to notice the smell. So I was hoping the scent would be midway between rich and subtle. The scent is great. My boyfriend loves it and so do I! It’s a refreshing, clean scent. It’s light, but not too light that it isn’t noticeable. It’s kind of a skin scent. Up close you’ll smell it, but nothing more than that. Though, when using it to wash, it’s definitely noticeable. But after the shower, it’s just a fresh scent on his skin. It has a good lather. It’s effective without making his skin feel dried out. His skin has become pretty sensitive the last year. Fortunately, this didn’t irritate his skin at all. My one complaint is the bottle. These are marketed as being for travel and “TSA approved,” but the bottles don’t seem very sturdy. They seem kind of weak, like they could leak easily. But only time will tell. Since I can’t say for sure, I’m not going to reduce stars. But just something to consider. I will update the review if it does end up being a problem when traveling. I think it’s a good value if you have use for travel sized bottles. If not, you’d be better off getting a larger size.

Like the scent
Scent: Stone
I use this scent daily and the wife likes it. So why change when we travel. I bought these travel bottles and plan to refill as needed.

Fresh Scent Body Wash w/ Great Value and Gentle Clean
Scent: Fig, Scent: Fig
I tried this travel size Harry's Fig body wash and it has a clean, fresh scent that feels balanced and not overpowering. The fig fragrance has a mix of cedar and a light citrus note that lasts without being too strong, which makes it easy to use every day. The formula creates a thick lather and cleans well without drying out my skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable instead of tight, so the effectiveness is solid for a gentle daily wash. The travel bottles are a good size for flights and the 3.4 ounce design fits easily in a carry on or gym bag. The caps stay closed in a toiletry kit and the bottles are sturdy enough that they do not leak. The six pack is also a good value for money since each bottle lasts longer than expected and it is convenient having several ready for trips, the gym or work. I also like that the formula is free of sulfates, parabens and dyes, which makes it a good option for sensitive skin. Overall it is a fresh smelling, effective and well priced body wash that works well for travel, the gym or daily use.

Perfect Travel Size Body Wash That Still Smells High-End
Scent: Redwood
These ended up being extremely convenient for travel, gym bags, and even keeping an extra bottle in the car or at work. The TSA-approved size is probably the biggest selling point because you can throw them straight into a carry-on without worrying about transferring products into tiny containers yourself. The Redwood scent smells really good too — clean, woodsy, and masculine without being overpowering. It has that slightly outdoorsy/cologne-style scent that feels more premium than a lot of basic men’s body washes. The scent lingers lightly after showering but isn’t too strong. I also like that the formula doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or stripped afterward. The fact that it’s free from parabens, sulfates, and dyes is a nice bonus, especially if you have more sensitive skin.
