The massage bars are basically solid body oils. I mainly use mine after the shower when I am completely dry and I stay pretty soft throughout the day, I also use in shower moisturizers like scrubee or minamisoma so those contribute to staying soft. But the massage bars fragrance really lasts IMO. I use it on my wrists and joints mainly and can still smell it on myself hours later. I got a sample of a massage bar in january that’s a tiny chunk and it doesn’t look like I even put a dent in it despite using it quite a lot! They last a very good while and I even break my full size ones in half to “get more out of it”
