Philosophy Sweet Vanilla Fig

Can someone describe the fragrance? I’m an amazing grace girl. I also love snow angel so I’m ordering that in the TSV. Thinking about the sweet vanilla fig, too but I don’t like overly sweet fragrances. Is it really sweet? Or clean with a touch of sweetness?

I was wondering the same thing.  They explain the scents but if I have not smelled them I have trouble ordering.  I too like Snow Angel, but Gingerbread Man and Vanilla Fig sound interesting.

Out of all the scents I find Sweet Vanilla Fig to have the most staying power. It is definitely a sweet vanilla and I find there is a hint of floral. It’s a very pleasing refreshing scent. If you don’t like sweet smells don’t purchase it because it is definitely sweet vanilla. I happen to love it.

This is the only Philosophy fragrance that I STRONGLY dislike. I’ve never detected any vanilla smell at all. I find it to be genuinely, purely......well, just plain stinky.

I don't care for the Sweet Vanilla Fig at all. To me it s a masculine after shave type fragrance. I noticed Jill Bauer said it was a fragrance her husband would like to use as a 3 in 1. 

 

I do like Fresh Cream, Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere, Snow Angel that are offered in this TSV.

I've been wanting to try it.  Realized I received a body butter or souffle in this scent in a set I ordered several months ago.  I opened it and not sure if I like it.  Scent seemed very faint/light.  I will try it someday if it comes in a 16 oz.   I don't want the huge bottle of something I'm not sure about.  I do like Fresh Cream, but have a large supply on hand.  I didn't care for the fragrance of the Cashmere.    Not ordering TSV today.

@StillRachB  It is very lovely and a warm scent.  The fig gives it a sweetness mixed with the vanilla.  It's not over powering.
