I'm 58 and nobody warns you that your smell changes too. I'd doubled up on deodorant for months and it did nothing. Three days with this bar and my husband asked what perfume I'd started wearing.
Helps neutralise the stubborn age-related odour that regular soap can't wash away.

"I've tried so many things before, but this is the first thing that helped with that 'old lady smell.' Being able to hug my grandkids without worrying means the world to me."

As skin matures, it naturally changes. Around midlife, the body begins producing more 2-nonenal. This oil-based compound is linked to the persistent "ageing odour" many women notice on their skin, clothes or bedding.
Perfume may cover ageing odour for a moment. Regular soap may not fully remove it. Mona Ritual follows a Japanese cleansing tradition with persimmon extract, helping target 2-nonenal at the source.
So your skin feels fresh and cared for, and you can enjoy every hug without second-guessing yourself.
I'm 58 and nobody warns you that your smell changes too. I'd doubled up on deodorant for months and it did nothing. Three days with this bar and my husband asked what perfume I'd started wearing.
My daughter was the one who told me, as kindly as she could. I was mortified. I've been using this for two months now and she's never mentioned it again — that says everything.
With every wash, Mona creates a gentle moment of care for mature skin. Its creamy lather helps you feel refreshed, comfortable, and beautifully cared for — from your morning shower to every close moment after.
Yes. Our gentle formula is free from harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive and mature skin. The combination of coconut oil and olive oil helps moisturise, support the skin barrier and soothe dryness or irritation.
No. Mona Ritual is deliberately light. Rather than masking odour with perfume, the persimmon extract works on 2-nonenal at the source, so your skin simply smells clean instead of scented.
Use it daily in the shower or bath, in place of your usual soap or body wash. Most people notice a difference from the very first wash, and the effect builds with regular use.
Regular soap removes surface dirt but leaves 2-nonenal behind - the oil-based compound responsible for age-related odour. Mona Ritual follows a Japanese cleansing tradition built around persimmon extract, which targets that compound directly.

This is the best soap. I was being told by my daughter that I smelled odd, like old must. I decided to try this soap and have been using it now for about four months. My daughter even asked me what I did differently and I told her nothing!
Really works for body odour, keeps you feeling and smelling fresh all day.
My husband and I are obsessed with this soap. It smells great and makes your skin feel buttery soft. We will continue to purchase this product.
Just saying, these weird little bars of persimmon soap make you smell awesome! They just clean off any weird bacteria hanging around. Thank you for making a nice product and delivering in a timely manner!
My wife absolutely loves this soap. It smells incredible and lasts a long time, and the scent is not overbearing.
I bought this after seeing ads for "old man odour" soap. I am very picky about smelling clean, and this honestly surprised me. The biggest difference was underarm odour: it noticeably reduced it and I stay fresh much longer after showering. It does not just cover smells, it prevents them.
Used it because I read an article about nonenal odour. Love the fresh smell on my skin after my shower!
I agree with the positive reviews. I have purchased several times. The mesh bag makes the soap lather up significantly. I am glad I tried it. I can recommend.
This really is the solution for nonenal. It has a delightful, natural fragrance which does not linger but which eliminates the issue. The Japanese created this effective answer by using persimmon extract. I can recommend it without hesitation.
Oh my goodness, thank you! If a loved one has old people smell, this is the product you need to purchase. He showered daily and put clean clothing on every day but the odour was still present. When the products arrived he immediately showered. It is truly a miracle.
This soap is nothing short of magic. I am a clean person with impeccable hygiene, but menopause left me bothered by a persistent body odour that daily showers and a variety of soaps could not eradicate. I followed the instructions to lather up and let the suds sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing. I smell clean all day, not scented, just fresh.
Love it! I am only 61 and very active, and I was wondering why in the world I was smelling more. Nothing to be ashamed of. This soap is a miracle. It works! Your skin softens like you have moisturiser on. Give it a try, the smell is gone. I am very pleased.
I am a woman of a certain age, and with that has come some hormonal changes. Even though I pay very close attention to my hygiene, regular bathing and deodorants were not lasting like they once were. I am sceptical of every product living up to its claims, but I was not prepared for the wonder that is this soap.
I highly recommend it for everyone. Sometimes people cannot do anything about their smell even though they bathe. This is what they should use. It removes the smell and leaves a neutral skin smell behind.
Gets the job done. Helps eliminate body odours that can occur due to age or health issues.
My husband and I are absolutely in love with this soap, which comes with a little washing pouch. The soap has a great smell and feels awesome on the skin.
Smells amazing, and three bars so I am not running out.
Love this soap. Leaves skin so soft. Worth the money!
These bars of soap come in a mesh bag that is perfect for washing skin. Faint scent, copious lather, rinses clean.
I love the scent and freshness these soaps provide. I will continue to purchase.
I love this soap. The smell is good and it lathers well, which I have had trouble with in the past especially with handmade soaps. I also appreciated the scrub bag included in the box. Really nice touch.
I love this soap! It lasts a long time. The smell is light and not overpowering, and I have a very strong sense of smell. I also have allergies and skin problems, but I have had no reaction from using it over the last two months. It makes your skin really soft.
I ordered this soap for my elderly mother. She has always bathed regularly so this is not a hygiene issue. She has been using this soap for a couple of weeks now and she does smell fresher. I feel that this product is affordable and effective. I would recommend it to others.
Absolutely love this! I noticed the difference after my first shower. Pleasant scent, not too overpowering.
Gave one as a gift to a friend. She said she loved it because she does not smell like an old lady.
We love the little bag you put the soap in. The lather is wonderful. There is no distinctive odour. My husband loves the soap too.
I purchased the bar soap and was so satisfied with how well it worked that I ordered the liquid bath gel too. Just what I needed while going through chemotherapy.
Good quality soap that smells very nice and comes with a nice mesh bag. Good value for the price and lathers really well.
Great, does the job. Nice lather, nice scent, not drying.
The smell is fresh and clean and it does not dry my skin.
Absolutely smells delicious! Love the little scrub sack too, it helps the soap lather like no other. It leaves a very fresh fragrance.
Love the soap, which helps with ageing odours.
This soap is very gentle on the skin. Nice smell, great lather!
Good for removing odour. Clean skin and softer too.
I needed more, almost out, so these came in time. Feels great, lightweight, and helps with cutting the odour down too.
Great scent. Keeps me fresh all day.
This soap is effective as advertised.
Very effective skin care product that lathers well.
Good scent. Great sudsing quality.
Works great.
