The first thing I noticed about Magic Stone Original was the smell, which is surprisingly elegant — an unexpected delight from what the campy packaging would suggest. I felt like I was sitting in a garden in Provence, butterflies and everything. The aroma is so potent, I was leaving the bar on my coffee table to scent the area. The bar is also super-hard, like a hockey puck. It's a far cry from many other natural soaps, which are soft and melt away at the mere suggestion of water.April Skin, the brand that makes Magic Stone, recommends using Magic Stone Black in the morning and Original at night. There are minor differences in formula, but I preferred just using Magic Stone Original to get a really deep cleanse. Rubbing the bar in your hands works up a surprisingly rich lather, which, when rinsed off, leaves the skin feeling super clean — but not tight and uncomfortable.Magic Stone, $6, available at Korea Depart
