I got the free 6oz. birthday gift from Sephora. I agree with some of the other reviewers that it doesn't smell like birthday cake, or even a really true vanilla (at least to my nose!). However, it...

I was pleasantly surprised by the scent (this is coming from a vanilla-hater). In fact, I was somewhat dreading using this because of the scent description but I feel I shouldn't waste things even...

Like most here, I got this from Sephora for my birthday gift this year. And like most here, I agree, the smell is very artificial and plastic-like! I've never tried any of Philosophy's other...

Smells like plastic. Really sharp, artificial smell under the sad attempt at vanilla.

I also received this as the Sephora birthday gift. What an awful product. Everything about it sucks. Do not use this as shampoo. It smells like a chemical factory with a hint of rotting vanilla....

I received a deluxe size sample of this from Sephora and loved it! The smell, the lather oh my! I personally wouldn't use it as hair shampoo but I guess it'll do if your in a jam. Great shower gel!

I received this as a birthday gift from Sephora, but normally it is $16. Pros? It cleans well. That's it. The scent is absolutely awful. There's no vanilla, cake, or vanilla cake in it. ...

Wow. Quite possibly the worst smelling bodywash, ever. Smells like birthday candles that have been put out and they're still smoking. Thank goodness it doesn't linger. I think Philosophy realised...

I give it a 4 because it smells great and lathers more than I expected. Also saves space being a shampoo and shower gel in one. Would've given a 5 if it had conditioners in it as well, but I just...
