Q Talk

I have used Amazing Grace Body Lotion for years, even before it was sold to Coty!!!  Does anyone else notice it not only doesn't smell the same but it doesn't last all day like it used too???  I used to get compliments when I wore it & even was stopped in the grocery store & asked "what are you wearing"!!  I have tried layering to no avail.  My Daughter has noticed the same thing.  I have an old bottle of AG that I no longer use but saved it & compared the ingredients before it was made by  Coty....no way it's the same product.  Too bad Christina sold the Company, it's just not the same anymore!!!  So disappointed! 😢

I won't get fooled again. Not sure if it's my senses dulling with age but I've tried every formulation they offer, along with layering, and it's just not for me any longer. I understand how "they" say your nose gets used to the smell and, when you can no longer detect the scent, others can. I don't want to take the chance of over spraying with that in mind. I wear scents for myself, love being surrounded with a pleasant smell all day long. If I put it on and can't make it to the other end of my very small house before the scent dissipates, it doesn't do me any good.

Yes. Sadly!!

Hasn't been the same in at least 8 years, or whenever Coty took over.

I still keep trying (though not nearly as much.)

I had some older bottles of everything, back then when Coty first took over, AG, PG (my absolute favorite) and FIL, that I still could smell on me...they're all gone now, but they were much different than the "water" they sell now. I always got compliments on those, and could smell them on me all day. Now, I've tried a few, (Sea of Love about 5 years ago...set like today, lotion, fragrance, shower gel TSV...but scent never lasted more than a few minutes)..and still keep hoping for Pure Grace to be worth buying, but it's not the same.

Had my bf get me a Pure Grace set for Christmas this year that had a full bottle of the Eau de Perfum in it, hoping it would be stronger...but it's really not. I asked him the other day, do you smell anything on me...he said...not really. I said that's what you bought me for Christmas. . I absolutely LOVED old Pure Grace...so fresh, clean, springy...and it smelled SO nice on me...always got compliments. PHILOSOPHY GO BACK TO OLD FORMULAS....DON'T YOU HEAR US?!!! They use all kinds of excuses, like "new regulations made them have to change ingredients on things" ...I don't buy it.

I guess $$$$-wise, it must still be workin' for them. Sadly, no longer working for me.

The last time I sprayed a tester on my arm I thought it smelled awful.  I could not wait to get home and wash it off my arm.

Makes me sad as I had worn it in the past and loved it.  I will no longer buy philosophy scents.

I use the Amazing Grace Body Spritz after I shower have been for years and still get compliments on the scent.  You cannot smell it on yourself but others surely can.

The Body Spritz gives me a headache.  Not what it used to be either!!! The AG  Shower Gel smells great in the shower but that's it.  Gone!  Guess I need to find a new fragrance. Was a big fan of Tresor by Lancome but it got too expensive & it was a little too much for everyday wear.  Any suggestions would be welcome please!!!

You are right, it is no longer a lasting fragrance. I returned a set that I bought at Kohl's, because fragrance literally disappeared on me within an hour, even with layering. I keep trying out at different stores, hoping somethings changed, but unfortunately Coty messed it up. I don't know why they can't go back to the original, because they've gotta be losing sales/money on this change

I use the AG body spritz and whipped body Creme and thought I wasn't getting a lot of fragrance.  But I wore both to bed last week and the next evening my jammies smelled sooo good from the night before.  I've found that on sniffing several items of clothing the next day and now I have changed my mind about the fragrance fading.  It's my nose that was losing the scent over time.  I agree that I've received some deliveries that weren't as fragrant, but what I have now is good.

I tend to agree that the scent isn't long lasting...at least on me either. 😔

[SandySparkles]

I am coveting my older bottles of Amazing Grace, Pure Grace and Summer Grace and use them VERY sparingly because I have seen so many complaints about how it no longer lasts!😐 For the current prices, they should last EXTRA long!😁
