What does "fresh cream" smell like? They describe it as "smells like fresh cream" but I've never smelled cream. I do not like anything with a vanilla fragrance so I am wondering if that's what this is.

I use the Fresh Cream lotion and body wash. This is definitely a "foodie" fragrance which I love - no musk, citrus or floral. To me, it smells like a cold glass of milk with a touch of vanilla. Really like whipped cream. Some people say it smells like sour milk with their body chemistry but my boyfriend and I find it to be a comforting scent.

I just received the Fresh Cream spray & it is amazing!! I really hope they make a candle & home spray! I think it smells like vanilla & sugar. Its a light vanilla scent not an over powering artificial vanilla. I just ordered the body lotion set today, so I'm hoping it smells just as great!

I was going to try it but I probably won't like it if it's a "foodie" scent. I don't like sweet sugary smell.

I've been wanting to try Fresh Cream, too. I wish they had "discovery" sets so you could get small amounts first and make sure you like it.

That's a good idea, especially with fragrances. I've often thought the same thing.

They did have Fresh Cream in one of those sets of 5 small shower gels last year. I don't see it now though. I remember being so excited to try it, but it actually smelled like nothing to me. I read a few reviews that said the same thing. Not sure if I got a bad batch, but it kind of ruined the idea of getting a full-sized one for me.

I absolutely love the way the spray smells. It is hard to describe. It is slightly sweet with a hint of vanilla. I don't like the scent of the body butter or the shower gel, however. To me they both smell sour. I don't know why the 3 do not smell the same.

I like it, but someone on these boards said she had it on when she went to her son's house and everyone thought they could smell sour milk (like baby spit up). That makes me think it reacts differently on people.

It is a very light fragrance of slightly sweet vanilla. I love it and use the body wash. I will be buying more of it. It isn't like the sweetness of many other, but just a hint of both, and not overwhelming in any way. As another poster said, she didn't smell anything, probably because it is so light. I got mine with my Clarisonic, so I'm super happy about that. I shower at night, so it makes for a nice relaxing means to end the day. Many of Philosophy's seasonal products like Vanilla Cake, or any of those cake things, are way sweet smelling; I can feel my blood sugar rising sweet smell. I can't handle those, so I was wary of it to begin with, but I'm glad it came!
