Do you remember using soap leaves?
I have a memory from my childhood of soap that came in little packets similar to matches. And you'd tear off a leaf of soap when you needed it.
This, from Crabtree and Evelyn in 1977, was the closest image I could find:

I did a search on "Crabtree & Evelyn soap leaves" only to find the hits populated by people who wanted to sell old packets. One offered a packet of 70 leaves for nearly $30 US.
A search on "soap sheets" produced a site that sells sheets in 4 different scents - with a nice photo. https://www.travelandleisure.com/style/shopping/fomin-soap-sheets-amazon
I never saw, or even heard of, soap leaves until I was an adult. Someone did give me a packet as a gift once (probably my sister, who was a huge Crabtree & Evelyn fan until that chain went belly up in Canada a few years back.) I was a huge fan of C&E too for many years, mainly of their "Goats Milk" bubble bath until they inexplicably discontinued it. They went seriously downhill before closing.
I’ve never seen these before. Would be a good thing to carry around these days though.
