I don't buy Philosophy anymore and don't watch their presentations.

The thread is about Fresh Cream and whether the formula has changed.....


Your point?

Like you need an explanation?

Yeah.

Re: Fresh Cream - what the?????????

Fresh Cream was launched when Cristina Carlino still owned Philosophy, but the scent really expanded and more FC items were offered after Philosophy was sold to Coty. I remember getting a "Breakfast in Bed" set from the Philosophy site that included Fresh Cream, Belgian Waffles, and Cafe au Lait. There was also another set that included Blackberry Sauce instead of Cafe au Lait, and I think that set was initially offered through QVC. The FC items I have still smell the same as always, but I haven't purchased any new FC recently. Just using what I have in my "stash."

Re: Fresh Cream - what the?????????

I originally purchased this years ago from Christina C when it was a small bottle and also came with the blackberry and waffle scent. Fast forward about 6 months ago when it was the TSV and Lisa R was touting it all over the place and I fell hook, line and sinker for it. Hated it from the minute I opened the shower gel bottle. Smells completely fake and formulaic to me. I haven't tried the body cream yet, am hoping it is better cause if not, it's going in the garbage. Am still suffering once a week with that nasty showere stuff just to get rid of it because it was far from cheap. Will never buy another Philosophy product again, I always get burned!

The shampoo, shower gel, bubble bath is my least favorite in the Fresh Cream line. I LOVE the lotion and body soufflé best. They smell sooooo good to me!!

Just because Coty bought Philosophy does not mean they changed everything all at once. Maybe they just changed it.

Many people have ""stock"" and don't know there is a difference until well after the change was made.

That's why I was sure to mention in my reply that I haven't purchased any Fresh Cream recently, and I'm just using from my Fresh Cream "stash" (extras I've purchased during sales, etc). What I've been using smells like the "same" original Fresh Cream I'm accustomed to, so if there's been a change, that would be a shame.

Re: Fresh Cream - what the?????????

I bought the Fresh Cream TSV last summer. A 64 oz. shower gel, a 32 oz. lotion, and a 16 oz. spritz. So I guess that is a fairly recent purchase and mine smelled lovely. I am just now finishing the 64 oz. shower gel.

Re: Fresh Cream - what the?????????

I bought the Fresh Cream Body Lotion (tube) at Ulta. I love the smell of it!

I haven't tried philosphy's shower gels. I really like the smell and feel of *Skin Milk*, so I use that, and Caress in the shower...

Re: Fresh Cream - what the?????????

It has changed. The first time I purchased the lotion it was a yellow color, now it is white. The lotion still smells good, but not as good as it used too. I can barely smell the shower gel when I use it now. The vanilla is stronger now and before there were other notes that stood out more.
