JOSIE...THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

Josie....for years I have been buying your body butter - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE but not anymore.  Everything you dop an6ymore is scented with food items.  Why  do I want to smell  like a grapefruit or apric ot?  I don't and the people I give the body butter to also do not weant to smell like a food pantry.  You use to do normal scents - many of which were floral.  If you have to do food smells then also include normal smells that smell like perfume.  Until you get off this kick.....I will NOT be buying or giving  the body butter as gifts....there are many great items available out there to purchase....think about it.

I feel the opposite way.  I can't stand florals and I only buy the vanillas or, as you put it, food scents.

I like Josie's scents and have tried many, recently getting the Peppermint Bark. She has done some floral & citrusy ones in the past.

Disagree. I usually buy unscented, but if I bought scented I would much prefer the "food" scents. I dislike florals. I assume she has a marketing staff and is aware of what sells.

I never buy her scented anything.  I also don't like any food scented creams, lotions, candles, body washes, etc.  I buy Josie's Unscented body butter only.

Re: JOSIE...THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

I have to agree with the OP.  I dont want to use a product that smells like cucumbers, avacado's, etc.  I dont care to smell like a tossed salad.

 

This goes for all body products not just Josie.

 

Tho I dont like it there must be many that do because food smelling products are everywhere.

I totally agree. I don't and never did like or buy Foodie Scents. Makes me nauseous. Clean and Fresh scents for me.

I'm not really a fan or dislike the food-scented washes or creams of any brand but they must be popular as Philosophy seems to sell a lot of their food-scented shower gels and body creams.

Re: JOSIE...THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

Where do I start with her scents?!  I've been using her unscented items thus far until I decided to buy her coffee scrub which smelled rancid and nothing like coffee!  I actually purchased a kit that came with the coffee scrub and vanilla cream body butter, which also smelled nothing like vanilla and smelled rancid as well.  Same with her pepperment bark scrub and body butter.  You could smell the peppermint, but it had a very strange aftersmell to it that was not good at all.

 

I will never again purchase her scrubs.  They smell rancid if you don't use them quickly.  I purchased some body scrubs from a company called The Body Shop (after reading a post on these Forums).  

 

I'll stick to what I know is good from Josie which is her Milk (both face and body), face butter, mascara, blush and lip gloss.  Body butter I will now purchase from Beekman (LOVE their lavender body cream).  And if the scrub is good from The Body Shop, I'll continue with them.

Re: JOSIE...THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

Everyone is different, I dislike florals but I absolutely love fruit scents. Grapefruit, Citrus, Pear.  I absolutely love her Vanilla Bean. 

 

I say bring it on. I will purchase.
