Warm Cashmere Is Inviting
The Warm Cashmere is my absolute favorite scent! I love it so much and always pair it with the perfume. It's perfect any time of year! The body wash leaves your skin so soft and hydrated! I wish the body wash scent stayed on your skin longer, though. Definitely recommend!

Extremely strong scent- but not in a good way for me.
This scent is stronger than the lotion- and it smells very floral. I have smelled it on others, and it's great- but definitely not for me.

Good But Also Lackluster
I love Philosophy body washes and had very high hopes when I bought the "Fresh Cream" hoping it would smell like the purfume but it didn't. Very plasticy smell and is not strong at all. Had to return

Small bottle, large price
First time trying the Philosophy Coconut body wash….it smells delicious! Lathers up really well, too. The scent lingers quite a while ao that's a plus. The only negative thing(s) I have to say about it is that the bottle is small and the price is ridiculous. To me, it was also very drying. I've been on the dry side all day since using it this morning and also pretty itchy. I'll finish it up (and use lots of lotion afterwards!) but most likely won't buy again. I do love the coconut scent, though!

Former fav
I used to be obsessed with the daiquiri melon body wash. since they changed the formula it's awful. It dried out my skin and the scent smells great when using it but doesnt last even after you towel off where I used to be able to smell it all day. Will not repurchase unless they go back to how they used to make it.

Gentle, fragrant lather
I finally found a wash that is gentle on my skin . A small amount on a scrunchie provides all the beautiful suds you want. The fragrance is sooo yummy, too. Worth the money.

Philosophy is great
I love their products but my favorite scent from them is Pure Grace and it's getting harder to find in body wash and some of the other products. I purchased Cream which smells nice and is a warmer scent than the clean scent of Pure Grace.

Philosophy cream
I like the Ballet and Ballet Rose scents. This is not my scent. I do not want to smell like food after a shower

Surprised
I thought this was the original Amazing Grace scent and was about to return it without using it. However, I tried it and I love it! I love how it lathers and the scent lingers for a while. I would definitely recommend.

My favorite shower gel
I've used this shower gel for years and love it. Fresh Cream and Hula Girl are my favorites. It smells so fresh and clean and doesn't dry out my skin.

Formula change?
I was obsessed with my big bottle and had to repurchase. It just doesn't smell the same and is so weak. Regret spending the money.

Smells delicious
This shower gel makes a nice lather. Is thick and creamy and very lemon scented. You get a lot in the bottle. A little does go along way. There’s also a matching lotion.
