It did, so I haven't bought since 2010.

I have not, but I don't use any of their perfumes.

I don't do scent well (even the gentle smells of Philosophy) , but I do like the philosophy skin care products.

I love Philosophy so much. Amazing Grace is my signature scent and Ive gotten so many compliments everywhere I go. I did jump on the wagon later than most but I think its great and the scent lasts all day and night!

I agree, Philosophy has definitely changed. I still buy some products, but the quality has changed. Scents do not last as long, and they discontinued my favorite....Inner Grace! They seem to just keep pumping out new fragrances every couple of months, but they are nothing like the the originals. So sad...this WAS a great company.

I agree that it seems to have changed. Which is easy to believe since that often happens after a company is bought out. I do still use a few of their products, but not daily.

And I must say that I really notice when a skincare company tries their product on the air on QVC on older models or on models with noticeable skin imperfections. IT cosmetics does this, and so do some others. However, at least recently, I see Philosophy using models like Brenda a lot, not just young but also lacking noticeable skin issues. That does not impress me.

If you say you have a great product for a broad range of real women, show us.

The scents don't last the way they used to and they are more "chemical" than anything else, IMO.

I stopped buying larger sizes because the scent goes "off" before I can finish the bottle.

I used to be able to pull out the same bottle of holiday Eggnog 3 years straight & it still smelled like it was fresh!

It use to be an affordable line with scents I enjoyed. Now, the prices are high, and the quality of their scents is just not there any longer.

I also bought the TSV last year and the scents DO NOT LAST, you can spray yourself with 100 sprays and it will last 15 minutes, by the time I walk down the street - a total of 3 houses.....the scent is GONE!!!

I find that the quality has really gone downhill and I no longer purchase their products. BTW, I think that naming a fragrance "Eternal Grace" is in really poor taste. It sounds like the name of a funeral home or a cemetery!
