Philosophy candy cane or peppermint stick?

@KBEANS was it you last winter looking for a good peppermint shower gel? Q has 2/32oz of both for 39.98. I can’t remember which one I liked better, but both were good. And Free S/H. A294372.

Ok, the ones in the what did you use up thread😂, maybe it was for your son or nephew, or maybe it wasn’t you. I need ZERO shower gel right now.

I don't think so, but maybe I was complaining about the price of Elemis and asked about a cheaper one. @lynnie61 Thanks for 👀 ing out! I just may give it a try.

I was so happy to see the Philosophy Candy Cane 32 ounce size duo, great price and free shipping what a good deal as every Christmas time it is sold out when I go looking for it.So I decided to send it early with the gift note saying Did some Christmas Shopping in July at least they will get their favorite gel,as we are in different states,and after last Christmas shipping problems,out of stock items not waiting. Thinking way ahead for this holiday .

I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I like both. The Candy Cane is stronger; whereas, Peppermint stick is softer. It is more of a peppermint & vanilla cream scent to soften to the scent (like those soft peppermint chews). Candy cane is 100% peppermint & has a cooling effect.

I liken Candy Cane like an "WAKE UP!" command and Peppermint Stick as a mother gently waking up her baby. Sounds cheesy, but that's the analogy that comes to mind.

@SurferWife No worries! All comments welcomed. I thought peppermint stick had some vanilla base in it, but I wasn’t certain, so I didn’t want to give inaccurate info. I think I did like the candy cane better, but I couldn’t exactly remember! If I didn’t have so much shower gel now, I would have probably ordered.

so when there is free shipping on items like these, they are not always free for Hawaii shipping, right?

@lynnie61

Fortunately most often when there is free shipping on Philosophy, Hawaii is included. I think because the free shipping cost is covered by Philosophy directly, not QVC.

@SurferWife .... you described both perfectly!!! AND, I love them both. But, I was completed out of Candy cane, so I just ordered some....they are on the way. I have one peppermint left and will use that up before ordering more. Any of these scents are wonderful, IMO

PS....I hope they offer "Partridge in a Pear Tree" again this year. I ordered one last year and I'm just about out. I love that scent around the Fall and Winter seasons too.

This may be TMI (sorry), but I found that I had to be careful when using Candy Cane in the shower. The strong mintiness of it made my nether region start burning, so I had to rinse it off really quick! Peppermint Stick never bothered me. Maybe, I'm allergic or just really sensitive to something in Candy Cane? Who knows? lol

I never have tried Peppermint Stick but I Really like Candy Cane ESPECIALLY on a hot summer day.

I have used both and love both but I like Peppermint Stick a little bit more. It has a hint of a chocolate note to me. And I agree that while Candy Cane is sold as a holiday scent, it is awesome on a hot day.

@aubnwa01 , I cannot use any type of scented anything there. I am a frequent UTI sufferer from way back and one thing my doctor has said was limit baths and no scented products there. In fact I use a wash from Love Wellness made specifically for that area.
