Hi there. The company's thinking behind this type of price differential has always been the perfumed aspect. So, their grace and love "fine fragrance" gels cost more bc they are supposed to scent you throughout the day...lightly, I guess. Whereas, the "foodie" gels are not "perfumed" and the scent is supposed to "go down the drain" so that you don't smell like a donut all day. Hope this helps! Yes I love the AG shower gel and do smell it on me afterward! In my experience, I can smell the foodie gels on my skin post-shower, too
