Desperately missing Philosophy's Pure Grace Solid Deodorant!!!

fitfuninformed — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:45:01 GMT

I am SOOOOOO disappointed that the solid deodorant's (both Pure and Amazing Grace) have been discontinued by Philosophy. I'm sure hoping this area isn't being dismissed altogether and that product development has something in the works to replace these items.

I was a long time user and recommended to many. Any chance they may be reintroduced in the very near future?

I doubt it. I too loved pure grace antiperspirant and used it exclusively. I still have one that I'm nursing through to it's soon-to-be-expiration date. It was the best and most effective deodorant I've used. But apparently we are two of the few that were willing to spend $18 for one container of deodorant with little fragrance.

It's one of the many of philosophy's products they've discontinued in the last few years that I loved.

I was actually getting the duo here on the Q for $22 when I first got introduced to it which was a steal in my opinion. Very rarely am I the victim of a discontinuance of one of my staple products.

Where will you be going from here, any suggestions? I've tried and liked (but not loved) Isomers deodry which is a completely different feel in both texture and scent.

Crazy as it sounds, I'm thinking of getting any unscented drugstore solid deodorant and spritzing my pure grace spritz or spray fragrance on top thereof - THAT's how much I liked the concept. Yeah, I know, it's more than just a little crazy....

I found some at TJ Maxx, if you want to check there. I know that doesn't solve your issue long term, but maybe you can find some and buy it all.

Was this recently that you found some at TJMaxx? I'll have to check that out.

I HAVE tried amazon and the like, finding only a couple with a price tag of $29.00 and up.

Thank you for the suggestion. If it was recently, I'll check both TJMaxx and Marshalls.

It was a few months ago, not very recently. I haven't been looking for it, so I have not noticed if they've had any more. All the TJ Maxx's are different though and yours may keep more Philosophy stock on hand. It's worth a shot.

Good luck and I hope you find it.

I still see AG at my local Ulta but I also miss the PG! These deodorants last forever too!

fitfuninformed: Spraying your pure grace on top of your deodorant does not sound crazy--mainly because I've been doing that for years, even using the pure grace deodorant. Just try it first to see if your underarm doesn't have a reaction to the spray. That's a pretty tender area.

I used to get the duos here at QVC also, but they've been gone from here for ages. I also saw those on Amazon and would even have considered paying that price, but they didn't tell what the expiration date was so I wasn't interested. I would imagine they must be old because I believe they haven't been manufactured in quite a few years now.

And they do last forever--and they don't fall apart half-way through, either!

Thank you geezerette, it's nice to be validated. And yes, I will patch test my underarm area making sure there would be no reaction.

One has to be resourceful!

Have you tried LAVANILA or Donna Karan's deodorant? I like them much better than philosophy's.

Cashmere Mist makes an identical deodorant ( same thick round tube, same white consistency) except the scent. Pricey but lasts forever. I have used both and actually like the CM a little better.

The LAVANILLA pure vanilla was one that I might consider, but I must do a sniff test first to be sure - I may try all scents to see which I prefer.

Cashmere Mist (I believe that is Donna Karan's) - never smelled the fragrance so not sure what to expect - is it a clean musk like Pure Grace?

Thank you for the recommendations!

Cashmere Mist is nothing like pure grace. It is kind of spicy, with a little powder thrown in. The deodorant is softer than the actual perfume. Maybe a little like baby grace. I got my last one at ULTA.

FF.... The best way I can describe them is that they both smell clean but the DK one has a light floral /powder scent and LAVANILA has a soapy smell. I like them both but go for LAVANILA more often.:-)

Is the LaVanilla available at Sephora in the store? I'd like to give it a sniff. Thanks.

Yes, you can check it out in Sephora. It says it's 100% natural... no aluminium.

I tried the AG one a few years back and I didn't love it. Found it didn't quite do the job, so to speak. At least for me. I'd be interested in the PG version as I wear the PG spritz almost daily. I wonder if some will eventually end up at TJMaxx or Marshalls???

I can NOT miss this opportunity to join my sisters who are pleading Philosophy to bring back their deodorant! I have requested it from their website months ago! Believe it or not I am still babying my last one of Pure Grace I bought years ago? Compared to all other store brands this one has always been my favorite! Yes, I was never crazy about the top that can't be screwed back on, but that packaging design could be fixed. It is the deodorant I love - no drippy, gooey mess, just that lovely favorite scent that completes my full grace experience. But more than anything, it works powerfully all day and I never worry that it lets me down. PLEASE, Cristina bring it back as SO many here are requesting!
