Mystery chemical reaction

What’s going on here?:

Nasty chemical reaction Melting?

The white thing is a shoe shaped hunk of something that’s meant to make rooms smell nice. It’s on top of a plastic pen box. The melty-looking streaks running down the side are not running freely; they’re solid. They’ve assumed this position after months of being slowly melted. But what is going on? Is there some horrid lime mixture in the soap that can melt plastic? Does it make the room smell nice by pumping caustic gas into your lungs?
