I tried the Snowman one, but it smelled like lemons instead of snow to me. I know there is a Snow Angel, and some others that sound like winter but not wanting to order and be disappointed again. Does Snow Angel really smell like when you go outside after it's just snowed or does anyone think one of the others does? I love the fresh clean smell after it snows and would love a body wash or fragrance that smells the same. I know we all smell things differently but would appreciate some input anyway from people who've tried some of the other winter type Philosophy products!

I have used Snow Angel in the past. It's like a much stronger version of Pure Grace..but not in a good way? I used to love it, but then it just became too much?

I was about to order Snowman, but sounds like it might be better suited for Spring or Summer since it sounds very refreshing?

Since I just got and fell in love with Lemon Custard, I'm thinking that I must be into more comforting smells these days. Fresh Cream is WAY too sweet to me, but Ice Cream Man seems to appeal to me. I'm *thisclose* to ordering it since it's seasonal. Don't want to miss out and their return policy is extended right now.

Maybe go ahead and order Snow Angel to see how YOU like it. Can always return it, but I know their S&H is $.

Fresh snow smells like nothing, clean air, absence of odor.

You're kidding, right?

[PINKdogWOOD]

smells like fresh snow - really? Exactly what does fresh snow smell like? Anybody???

Let's face it, fresh snow has no scent - unless someone or someone's pet 'writes their name it' - you know what I'm saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry - yeah I HAD to go there!!!

I live in central Texas, so I really have no idea what snow smells like. I will say that if you want a fragrance to match something like Snow, you might want to check out the Demeter Fragrance Library Pick-Me-Up scents. I have several of their other scents and I think they capture those "day to day" kinds of scents better than anyone. They're known for scents like Dirt, Wet Garden, Rain, Gin & Tonic, Play-Doh, Funeral Home, Mildew, Thunderstorm and Tomato. I haven't smelled Snow, but their other scents really do make you think of whatever they're named after. Ulta usually carries a few in their brick and mortar stores, but to get the more esoteric scents, you'll need to look online. I've had several Demeter fragrances and have never been disappointed.

Snow has won several awards and this is the description from the Demeter Fragrance site: "All precipitation (rain and snow) comes from water vapor in the air. If the air is warm, the frozen droplets melt and fall to the earth as rain. If the air is cold enough the water vapor crystallizes around a speck of ice or dust and falls to the earth as snow. If there is no dust for the water vapor to crystallize on, it will remain in the air as a cloud. ... At Demeter, after years of effort, we were able to capture the essence of snow in a scent; chilling, cool, clean and fresh, with a touch of dust (necessary to form flakes) and earth (upon which to rest). There is literally nothing like it outside of the Demeter Fragrance Library."

I think maybe what the OP means is the crispness of the air after it snows?

I don't know because snow is water and has no smell. Unless you mean yellow snow?

I don't have a recommendation for you, but despite the skeptics, I know what you mean! I swear I can always smell "snow in the air" BEFORE it snows (and I'm usually right). Couldn't put my finger on it or assign it a certain scent, but it's definitely a "smell" I'm picking up on.

I honestly haven't paid attention to what it smells like after a snowfall, but I'll pay attention this year. :-)

ChynnaBlue's recommendation of the Demeter fragrance has interested me. I've whiffed a couple of them, but they weren't to my liking. But I'd like to smell Snow, Thunderstorm and Funeral Home -- I'm intrigued as to what a Funeral Home smells like!
