Snow Angel? What is the smell

I ordered this set for Christmas and was wondering what the smell might be.

It is a fresh, clean floral scent. I love it! The 3 in 1 is just decadent. It is my favorite holiday scent from Philosophy. I happened to score 2 bottles at my local TJ Maxx tonight.

Thanks for your reply! It sounds divine. I probably should have said ""scent"" instead of smell.

I love it..to me it's almost like a more potent Pure Grace?

Re: Snow Angel? What is the smell

I just received my set and I don't like it at all. {#emotions_dlg.sad}

Since it was compared to Pure Grace in terms of being a "fresh clean scent", I decided to give it a try (I have always liked Pure Grace). Instead, it turned out to be a very heavily scented floral, in my opinion. I was hoping for something lighter and more "crisp". If you love florals, this will be for you.

I already packed it up to send back this morning. I'm so disappointed!

Hi Grade1Teach, I'm not a fan of it either.

I still have a bottle from when it first launched, and I've rarely used it because it seemed too strong for me. A couple of months ago, I was looking through my "stash" for a 3 in 1 to use as a hand wash for my bathroom, and I pulled out Snow Angel. I transferred half of it into another bottle, and added some water to see if I could dilute the scent a bit, and it seemed to help. It's not as strong as it once seemed to me, and I actually find myself liking it now. Not sure if it would be the same for you, but just thought I'd share, in case you wanted to give it a shot.

I think it is one of those love it or hate it scents. I find it very strong especially the body spritz. It needs to be softened with vanilla or something. Mixing it is a good idea.

I am one of the ones who can't stand Fresh Cream either.

Re: Snow Angel? What is the smell

{#emotions_dlg.wub}I just smelled it at TJMaxx yesterday shopping with my mom! It was NOT for me! Smelled like a super strong version of Pure Grace which I don't care for at all and think that is strong smelling in a not so good way. I was kind of surprised as I would have thought it would be a light pleasant smell. That's just me though. I can wear very few perfumes due to migraines and asthma so have always been super sensitive to fragrances. I have two that I can wear but would love to find a new fragrance. Chanel No. 5, and Prada Milano d'Iris. If anyone has any suggestions for a light pretty fragrance I would sure love some suggestions!

I actually opened it back up this morning and tried all the pieces.

The body wash was better when mixed with water from my shower, but it was still very strong. The body polish was fine, but the lotion and body spritz were just way too much for me. It literally gave me a headache when I first applied everything. My husband and daughter love it, but I don't. I couldn't justify keeping the set for that amount of money. I already brought it to the Post Office.

One positive - The scent does last for hours and hours!
