I use and like the Philosophy line. I have watched a few airings by a couple of hosts. Each has described the smaller portable size part of the collection as mini, tiny or smurf size. While I was considering this purchase, I don't think it sounds like a "special value" to describe half of the 8 piece collection as cute and tiny for $90.

I'm not watching because no matter what the value, I'm just not buying any beauty products until I've used up what is already in my house.  Once I open the last item in any category, I'll be looking -  but that means I won't be buying coillections for a very long time. 

 

As for buying gift items -  I'm also not doing that.  As much as I dislike gift cards, gift cards are going to be my presents this year..  I know myself and when I buy collections intending to make separate gifts of the pieces, there are always pieces in my cabinets after the holiday.  Not again - I'm determined.

Will not buy these products. Since the sale of the company, the products are watered down....sad.

I am standing firm in not buying this TSV because I purchased last years and my DH could not detect the perfume (Falling in Love) by the time I walked out of the house and into the car!!  The body butter lost ALL its fragrance (which wasn't strong to begin with) by the time I reached half the jar~!!  I'm not kidding, no scent whatsoever and I had my kids smell it and DH (thinking my sniffer was playing tricks on me)!!  By the time I reached half the jar, it was well over the 30 days to complain.  I have to say tho that the shower gel was like it used to be.  You see, I've used Philosophy since it came out and Fell in Love with Falling in Love so I know how it used to be.....

 

I even went to my Dillard's counter and really spritzed myself with their FIL and by the time I got home I could not (nor my DH) detect the scent.  I know it's supposed to be light, etc, but good grief....

 

So no.  Coty has ruined this product.....

I will no longer buy the AG gift set for Christmas as I did for several years. The Philosophy products I have bought from QVC recently have not been the quality they once were. I bought several things from Nordstrom( free shipping also) and the scents are much more long-lasting for some reason.
