Made in Aleppo City Syrian then fragranced and formulated in Provence
📐 8cm x 6cm x 2cm
Crafted from authentic Aleppo soap and delicately scented Orange Blossom, this bar brings together one of the world’s oldest soap traditions with a refined, modern scent.
The soap base is produced in Syria using the traditional Aleppo method: olive oil and laurel oil slowly saponified in large cauldrons before being cured and transformed into soap flakes. These flakes are then remoulded and delicately perfumed in Provence, creating a bar that combines historic craft with contemporary fragrance.
With a 97% plant-based formula and a base rich in olive oil and laurel oil, the soap produces a creamy, naturally glycerin-rich lather that cleanses gently while respecting the skin’s natural balance.
Suitable for daily use on hands and body, it leaves the skin clean, comfortable, and softly fragranced.
Fragrance Character
Orange Blossom is luminous and softly floral, with delicate citrus brightness and gentle honeyed warmth. Fresh yet comforting, the fragrance evokes Mediterranean orchards in bloom and the quiet sweetness of spring blossom carried on warm air.
The Aleppo Soap Base
Aleppo soap is one of the oldest known soapmaking traditions, produced by saponifying olive oil with natural alkali before enriching the formula with laurel berry oil. This centuries-old method creates a firm, long-lasting soap valued for its gentle cleansing and distinctive heritage.

Tadé was founded 29 years ago through a love of history and the
Levantine Mediterranean region.
Aleppo soap is the oldest form of soap in the world and the forerunner of Traditional Savon de Marseille. Thaddée de Slizewicz, the founder, is dedicated to perpetuating the wonders of Aleppo soap in a sustainable and ethical way, investing in the region, infrastructure and people involved. Now employing 15 full time team in Syria and a further 10 in France, 'authenticity, pleasure and elegance' underpins their direction and ethos. In 2023 they made 30tons of Pure Aleppo Soap and we are honoured to bring them to, and represent them in the UK.
Made between December and March, immediately following the Olive harvest, the Olive and Laurel Oils are saponified in a cauldron over 7-14days then the paste is poured on the floor and left to set. It is stamped and cut then left to dry for 9 months before being packed and shipped to France.
