Philosophy Shampoo/Shower Gel/Bubble Bath

Let me start by saying that the product works as well as Philosophy's other products. However, I have nearly all of the Philosophy 3-in-1's and I keep hoping that they will get a "vanilla" one right. This "flavor" is even worse than their "Vanilla Ice Cream" in the sense that it barely has a fragrance at all. Whereas "Vanilla Ice Cream" smells (strongly) like the plastic used in shower curtains, this one smells pretty much like the base used in all of Philosophy's 3-in-1's. I certainly do not detect a bit of the "Vanilla Cupcake" fragrance they claim the product should have. What I do detect as a slight fragrance vanishes immediately after the product leaves the bottle. I must say that I am not impressed with Philosophy's new 3-in-1's at this point. The "Vanilla Cupcake" stinks and the "Mimosa" smells like Pina Colada to me. If you want a good Philosophy 3-in-1, get the "Cinnamon Buns", "Pumpkin Pie", "Eggnog", "Spiced Apple Cider", or "Double Rich Hot Cocoa" variations. And always remember that if you use these products as a shampoo, you will need to use a good conditioner afterwards.

I pulled the lid of the Philosphy Vanilla Birthday Cake bottle and inhaled the wonderful smell of vanilla birthday cake. It smells 100% like its glorious namesake. While some people complain about feeling strange bathing in birthday cake or a strawberry milkshake, I think of it as being just another type of aromatherapy. Cake makes me happy, birthdays make me happy, this birthday cake smelling body wash and shampoo really makes me happy!

Plus as a bodywash and shampoo it functions very well. My skin feels smooth, and my hair feels light, silky and not weighed down. My hair still smells a little like birthday cake, which isn't as good the second day, but it's not overpowering. I don't think I will use this as my everyday shampoo, but it is great to throw in a gym bag for a quick after-workout shower.

There's nothing I enjoy more than a Sunday morning mimosa, and now you can have one every morning. This is a refreshing but relaxed scent. Unlike some of Philosophy's products which come on strong, the orange is tempered by the "champagne" undertones. It's the perfect summer bath gel. My husband loves it as well, especially used as a shampoo.

I love these products...for what it is, I use it as a shower gel and the lather is great, doesn't dry me out. But I was excited for a Vanilla Cupcake sented experience... I was dissapointed. I would recommend the other products, the fruity ones, ice cream ones, Key Lime pie for sure..I would not buy this again for the smell.

I was so intrigued by being able to shower and come out smelling like a cupcake, but was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this does smell good and feels soft going on your skin. However, the scent is nothing like a cupcake, more like a cheap vanilla.

I'd recommend trying another scent or buy a cheaper vanilla if that's what you're going for.

Sephora is great as always with prompt shipping and nice packaging.
