I do enjoy Philosophy shower gels, mostly Vanilla Fig.  I just wish they would be more specific with the scent profiles.  Telling me how they make you feel does nothing to describe a scent!  That's worthless information, just marketing.  I wish they would tell us what scents, what fragrance notes, are in the products.  I pass up most of them because they do such a poor job of telling us about their products.

I wonder if you went to the descripton on .com for each scent if it would have the information you want?

They don't do any better on their own web site.  I don't live near a Sephora, or an Ultra, so there's no real way for me to check them in person.  QVC shipping and return costs prevent me from trying more scents.  Oh well, guess that's just money saved.

No matter which Philosophy scent, 10 min after you use it, you won't be able to smell it anyway :-( It became a waste of money for me, and gifts given to me by others, years ago when the company was sold. I'm just done with their products because of the Sell Out. I wouldn't trust the quality or efficacy of the skin care now either, and I've read comments here it's changed as well.

I judt returned 2 jars of amazing grace body cream because there was no scent in them.  My old empty jar had more of a scent in it than my full jars.  Why do they sell an infcerior product and that is why because people buy it.  Shame on them.  I returned my order.

After TOVA perfume died - it did for me - I went to Pure Grace!  After using it for about a year, the next new bottle did not smell the same and definitely did not last. So disappointing!

Re: Scents in general (all QVC brands):  It would be nice if we could order sample packets in a variety of scents.   That way, we can choose and order our favorites.   Maybe a $20 price for a set of forty sample packets.   Various Q brands.  Or maybe those scratch and sniff cards.  That would probably be more cost effective. Well, it's just a thought of mine, as usual. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

@Lila4Now Macy's has carried Philosophy too.  I don't know if it stil does because I haven't been in a Macy's in a while, but it used to - I've bought Phil. there.

Yes - Macy's still sells Philosophy; both online and in their stores.

I loved when Pure Grace came out.  It smelled fantastic.  I still buy it because I get really great compliments on it.  But the problem is that I have to apply a TON of it.  Even then, the fragrance doesn't last.  Smiley Sad
