Amazing Grace or not????

Scoobysback — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 15:40:08 GMT

I always loved Amazing Grace everything - since working at Bath and Body for the last two years I have been wearing Forever Red - their high end scent which I do love, but I wanna venture back to Amazing Grace. I sniffed the Eau de Parfum at Macy's again and smelled fine to me - tell me girls are the scents really faint now such as shower gel, body firming emulsion? Who likes the whipped one now too? I am so far out of the loop I feel like a beginner again lol............all comments are welcome!

Thanks,

I used Amazing Grace for years and feel that the scent is actually stronger. So strong I can't use it anymore. Hubby ordered a large bath shower gel for me last year and I haven't been able to use a 1/4 of it. Every time I try I end up getting nauseous.

I tried Amazing Grace for the first time recently. I bought the A239634 set from the Q with the shower gel, body scrub, whipped body creme, spray perfume and solid perfume. Not having any previous notions of what it should smell like, I found the scent very light, and even laying the shower gel or scrub, body creme and spray perfume when getting ready in the morning, by the time I got to work, any scent was gone. I don't know if it did change, or if just my body chemistry zapped the scent so quickly. I did cancel the auto-delivery I'd had, since I couldn't justify spending that much when the scent didn't hold for me.

If you buying at Macy by the perfume. The one in the smaller bottle with the pink color. This has a much nicer scent of amazing grace.

I purchased samples of Amazing Grace from Ebay and fell in love with it. So I bought the AG shower gel and body emulsion duo. Can't wait to get it. That's my first Philosophy purchase.

I'm somewhat new to Philosophy, and have Amazing Grace and Living Grace Whipped Body Creme, Amazing Grace Spray Fragrance, as well as Living Grace Bath and Shower Gel and Eau de Parfum. Unfortunately, I've never had the older versions of the fragrances to compare to, but I don't find that the fragrance of any of these stays with me very long. I can get out of the shower or bath, and I can barely smell the Living Grace. Even the Eau de Parfum does not stay very long. It seems that all the fragrances are almost completely gone in an hour. There are a couple of other products I like, such as Purity, but though I just love the fragrances themselves, I don't know if I will buy them again. I need something that lasts longer than an hour.

Hi Scooby great to see you posting. I am still using and still loving AG & PG. The last kits I got from the Q had the shower gel, whipped body creme and the EDP and honestly everything in mine smelled wonderful and amazing grace is still the only one I wear that hubby comments on how wonderful I smell when I have it on. I think the whipped body creme is even better than the body lotion was and it's my fav new product they have come out with since you have been gone from the boards. Sometimes I use some of my other perfumes too but I always seem to miss my AG and come back to it. Wonderful to see you posting. Read in your other post that Bailey is 3 now. Boy time sure flies. Bet he is just a doll baby.

I have been using AG for about 15 years. I never thought the products were very strong, but I think that was Cristina's intention. I love the new whipped body creme. I have AG, BG, and GG. It is nice to see you posting. The Philosophy board has lost so many of the posters that were active when I came on board about 5 years ago. I miss them, and all the knowledge they had.

I go through phases during the year, in the summer I prefer Summer Grace, and while I'm in that mode, Amazing Grace smells weird to me. But after summer I go back to Amazing Grace and LOVE it (like now). I LOVE the whipped body creme, I'm almost out and would like to restock, but I've been holding off since it's so expensive. I love the AG Spray, and Whipped Body Creme, but I'm not a huge fan of the shower gel or body emulsion for some reason.

It is different than it used to be, I still wear it but not as much, instead I use Jennifer Aniston's perfume, I love the scent. I wear Pure Grace still in the summer.

Also when I wear it, I don't really smell it on myself throughout the day, but I think it's because I'm used to the smell, and I don't over-use it! If I keep smelling it on myself, then I think it would bother my sensitive nose. Some people complain because it doesn't last on them, but I think it's because it's a light fresh scent, just my take on it.

I used Cashmere Mist lotion for a while and I could not smell it on myself, but others could. The same with Pink Sugar. I wore it layered, got used to it, could not smell it, but received lots of compliments. I find the same is true with my B&BW plug in. I cannot smell them after a couple of days, but left town for a week, and was shocked at how nice my house smelled upon my return.

I've used Amazing Grace for many years. Just today, I put it on very early this morning probably 5:30 am. When I got home from work 11 hours later and got a hug from DH he mentioned how good I smelled. So, I couldn't smell a thing but obviously the AG still has staying power. So I'd say it lasts. Enjoy.

Also I prefer the eau de toilette & body spritz, over the eau de parfum or the oil roller ball. They smell slightly different in their different forms.
