Complaints on Amazing Grace

Rainbows and Roses — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:45:59 GMT

I have used Amazing Grace since it was first sold on QVC.........yet I see so many bad reviews......so I called them and they are still in AZ and they have not changed anything..........Coty purchased them three years ago and I did say that the Amazing Grace Roller Ball does smell better than the Spray in the 4 ounce bottle...........I don't know if its a major change since we change also over time..........so has it really changed and if so in what way? What is different about the smell? Thank you.

I have been wondering the same thing. I buy it every Christmas almost for my mother. A lot of perfumes bother her but this one didn't. This year after reading some of the reviews I ended up just getting her the body lotion. I would like to know who's telling the truth????

Oh, come on.... this is a question for the company.... not for the consumers. Customers can write the company.... they make the decisions....

I started using Amazing Grace and Baby Grace about 3 or 4? years ago. I love it and get many compliments (especially from staff at medical places). But I didn't use it as long as some, so I cant comment if it changed. All I know is I love Philosophy!

Why isn't this posted on Beauty Banter? You'd get a lot more responses. My mother has been wearing it for years and she loves it. She said she didn't notice a change.

I wear it and still love it.

I wear it all the time, and I always get compliments about the fragrance. I use the lotions and whipped body cream as well. They are all delightful.

Some times it is nice to get opinions from people we are posting with on a daily basis.

Recently I have been told to go post on another thread rather than here. I resent it.

It still smells the same to me.

I don't buy it from QVC though - usually Nordstrom or Von Maur or Sephora.

The beauty of Viewpoints is there is no one subject, but a cross over of many. Entertainment items are always on this forum as well as beauty, food, etc. Ignore the buzz kills and post away.

The OP clearly states that the company had been contacted.

I am glad that you posted you get yours from Von Maur. I don't live far from one. Others here seem to still like it, too. I think I will go pick my mom up the perfume, too. She liked it so well when I got it for her a couple years ago so this eases my mind a little. She is 84 and can't wear really strong scents....Amazing Grace had become her favorite.

I disagree. This has been a long standing issue and many, many of the consumers who purchased AG have said there is a definite change in the fragrance although the company denies it. In fact there have been a lot of complaints about all the Philosophy fragrances in general not having much scent to them anymore.

It's like the Tova debacle where all the wearers knew something was different about the scent but the company and QVC denied any changes.

I used to wear Amazing Grace. I LOVED IT!!! I think it most definitely changed when it was sold to Coty.

Now it smells a bit like cat pee.

Oh, and I bought the last one from Macy's. It was a wee "eau de cat pee", too.

Yikes...thanks for giving me a good reason to not buy it anymore.

When I'm out of my old bottle, that's it.

I heard the same thing about Tova.

I've never smelled cat pee, but that seems a little harsh.

Tova definitely changed. It smells nothing like it used to smell.

Every time I wear it, I get a compliment from a stranger. I guess they must like the smell of cat P.

A lot of the time people don't continue to like a fragrance because their body chemistry has changed and the scent is no longer compatible with it. Certain medications can change our chemistry and completely change how a particular scent will smell. JMO.

I just bought Living Grace. I like that one too.
