I think that Inner Grace is going away because it had the highest concentration of real ingredients that couldn't be duplicated with artificial ones. It's a profit thing.

I used to use and love Inner Grace. It was the longest lasting of the scents for me, and I liked the lavender notes. I totally agree with those who believe that the staying power, and even potentially, the quality of the notes of the Grace fragrances has changed since the Coty acquisition. I switched to using fragranced oils, and when I want a fragrance I use Lancôme Tresor or La Vie est Belle. Both of those fragrances last all day on me.

I haven't purchased a Philosophy product in years. Just this past month I finished off the last of my 32-oz. bottles of Purity. I found out what a poor job Purity does of removing makeup from my face during the months that I was using the Tria laser. In order to use that laser, your skin has to be scrupulously clean or the laser skips. I could not use the laser effectively without switching to the cleanser that came with the laser. I switched my regimen to finish up the Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash, followed by a toner, at night. Purity could handle cleansing my skin in the morning, when I only had a serum and moisturizer on it, but was pretty ineffective for my needs otherwise.

I have given up on Philosophy in favor of other less expensive products that work better for me.

i have to say, i really appreciated that dara actually acknowledged this on air last night, even if she didn't come out and say, "ladies, it's been discontinued". they have never been this direct about it before so it was nice change (even thought it's bad news for ig girls).

I absolutely agree about the "Profit" thing. That's (IMHO the driving motive!) Ever since Coty took over the products have distinctly changed. I adored the Falling In Love products but stopped quite a while ago (moving across country, etc.) and this was before the buy-out. Then a few months ago I decided to get their super large sizes of perfume, body scrub and body cream. The scent was very light and wouldn't last, even layering. The perfume (it was advertised perfume) did not have enough oil in it to adhere and last. Believe it or not, the body cream actually LOST ALL FRAGRANCE half way through the jar. It's now sitting on my counter like a scent-less jar of lard. No kidding... no fragrance left in it whatsoever.

I'm so disgusted by this after having spent close to a hundred dollars and putting myself on auto-delivery that I will NEVER buy another Philosophy product again.

So sorry to hear that Inner Grace has been retired. Of all the scents, it has always been my favorite. I have reached out to Philosophy and was told that they sometimes retire a fragrance only to bring it back at a later date. Don't know why I don't believe them. Have been a faithful user of this product and scent and I am extremely disappointed. Please people continue to write in; lets bring this back.

I am so disgusted withbphilosophy for eliminating both eternal and inner grace. Those were the two fragrances I used and its very difficult to find fragrances that work on me. I am now seeking other companies to fulfill my fragrance needs since the alternatives don't work. Shame on philosophy for disappointing those of us out here that thought we found a company we could rely on for consistency.

Inner Grace was one that really grew on me, and although Baby Grace was my favorite, I had started alternating with Inner Grace, and today found I was unable to buy either one. Your loss QVC, as I'd planned to buy super sizes of both fragrances. None of the others can replace those two fragrances as they are distinctly unique. This is sad. Please reconsider.

Just wanted to let you know Baby Grace has not been discontinued. It is, however, only available at QVC now.
