I am an Amazing Grace, Snow Angel and Fresh Cream girl.  Can someone describe the scent of Marzipan Dreams?  Think I'd like it based on my favs?

Tried Honey and Cream -- NOT A FAN.  Would like someone's opinion on Marzipan before I order it.

Thanks!

I like Marzipan Dreams. It is a deep toasted almond scent. The shower gel is more of a true almond scent...lighter, like ground almonds. The souffle is stronger...like almonds that have been toasted in the oven. Heavier in scent than the shower gel.

I like souffles much better than the philosophy body cremes or lotion. Not tacky or sticky and absorbs well. I wish they made pure grace in a souffle.

I think the body wash smells like almond extract.  Actually it smells like real Marzipan.

To me it smells like toasted almond and marshmallows. I bought the spritz yesterday so I hope I like it.

I don't get any marshmallow in the scent.  I've used the body wash along with the body souffle and I do find it a bit of a strong scent, so it may not be for everyone.

It smells like marzipan to me ... I love that scent, and I love foodie/bakery scented body products  :-)  The bakery in my neighborhood makes a wonderful almond croissant with marzipan inside ... yummy!  The shower gel and body souffle smell just like it.  By the way, I am also a big Amazing Grace fan, but don't like Snow Angel.  

p.s. hello @sueinsf !!  How are you doing?  Hope all is well with you!

Hi @cal-gal!  Hope all is well with you too.  By the way, my fellow foodie/bakery scented friend, have you tried Pink Chocolate Macaroon yet?  I'm not even all that in to coconut scents but so far, I'm finding it yummy!!

Hey @sueinsf! You are so funny, and talk about a coincidence - I literally just posted something about that scent in the Gingerbread Man thread! I like it - reminds me of Red Velvet Cake - remember that old Philosophy shower gel?

[sueinsf]

@cal-gal hahaha -- just saw your post!!  Great minds, girl

I have a Red Velvet Cake in my stash but I've never tried it!!  I have so many bath gels that don't have matching body souffles (or even lotions) which to me makes the Pink Chocolate Macaroon and Gingerbread Man sets SO much better.  I don't know why they don't do those for nearly all their scents.

Really missing those great Nordstom 3 for $15 6oz bottles too.

I just received the set with Pink Coconut Macaroon and Marzipan Dreams. This is the best set I've bought from Philosophy in a long time. Marzipan Dreams is amazing. 

It is spot on to an almond marzipan scent and to my nose, I get a slight whiff of cherry. It reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas cookies, Cherry Chocolate Kisses, which is a maraschino cherry cookie flavored with almond extract. Makes me think of making those cookies at Christmas time with my girls. 💓
