It appears that the good buys all come not only in super size but also pairs. How about a few incentive buys in more handy sizes? After trying I might be more open to having these sizes to deal with.
How about a pair of these Philosophy scrubs with one of each fragrance? After all there are only two to choose from.

@Twins MomThe good prices are always on the volume sizes. That's true for everything from Philosophy right on down to staples I look for at the supermarket and yes, it's frustrating although I'll admit that I frustrate way less about my Philosophy than I do about things like a quart of milk or a jar of peanut butter.

I won't buy the jumbo size no matter what the deal.  I don't buy "P" but do purchase Josie body stuff.  The large containers are hard to open/close when your hands are covered with cream - - and every time you open and dip in the jar......you're not only getting cream but leaving behind bad stuff i.e., bacteria - dust - whatever that stuff is called under your fingernails.  Smaller jars for me.

Kind of interesting....I find the 16 oz Philosophy bottles to be impossible to use easily. The 32 oz with pumps are sooooo much easier to handle. It’s not the value that drives me to buy large sizes. It’s the ease of use. Wish they made pumps for the 16 oz sizes.

I haven’t bought Philosophy in years since they went to the jumbo sizes.

You make a great point about pumps. I found a pump bottle to put my purity in just because of difficulty in using. Maybe they could provide small size with pump along with a jumbo. Win/win. Saves counter and easier to use.

I like the super size bottles, especially because they're pump bottles. What could be easier? Find a convenient spot in your bathroom and all you have to do is press the pump!

I remember when the Philosophy website sold 16 oz. bottle pumps for a couple of $. I’d actually pay a couple of $ more just to have a pump. The diameter of the 16 oz. bottle is just awkward to hold and try to squirt out the shower gel.

 

My preference is for the 16 oz. I like to rotate my scents a lot and 32 oz. bottles take forever for one person to use. Plus, they take up more space when not in use.

I repurposed an extra pump I had from Wen 16oz and it works perfectly!

I love the supersizes.  I use them for my bubble bath and I also refill my 16oz bottles when they are emply.
