I was so disappointed by this. This doesn't smell like birthday cake, it smells like plastic. The scent is gone as soon as you rinse. The only pro is that it removes deodorant really well but other...

It smells synthetic. The caution info on the back is just straight up alarming. if something tells me it might cause UTIs in females, Im not using it anymore! Don't get fooled by the marketing &...

I am absolutely loving this new soap from philosophy! I probably use it every night for both shower and baths, the aroma of it is wonderful and not too potent leaves a nice scent after use. It's...

Does not feel like a bath product. Feels like lollipop residue. Sticky, does not lather easily, DOES NOT BUBBLE BATH (it's like sticking dirty lollipop at the bottom of your bath, how great!). And...

Like many other reviewers, I got this from Sephora one year as my birthday gift. At first I thought the packaging was cool since it has a recipe on it. The smell is fake vanilla which I hate so...

I have to agree with others here when they say that this just didn't deliver what they expected it to. There's no denying this is moisturising when used as a shower gel (although I can't comment...

Thank goodness I got this for free - and now I know why. I was excited to try it as I usually like warm, vanilla scents and thought this might smell good - but I was wrong. It smelled to me like...

A bad product that I got from Sephora for free for my birthday last year. It doesn't smell good and doesn't lather well. I hate it. It must be a mistake.

Got this for free from sephora like everyone - mediocre at best. Doesn't lather well, the scent is kind of tacky and does not stay on skin, and this def would not be good for the face, I can just...

As a lot of previous reviewers have said it doesn't really smell of anything!, it's hard to find all the scents that are available over here in England so I couldnt wait to try this. It does foam...

I rated this product a 3/5 because it is "just okay". The scent is a bit plastic-y, and doesn't really remind me of a Vanilla Birthday Cake, but more of a cheap vanilla-scented wash. It's not...

This was my first Philosophy bath wash and I doubt I will purchase any after I finish this. The only purpose I had for it was as a body wash and after I took a shower, the smell was gone. I’ve had...

Oh, Sephora. Must you always cheapen the birthday gift? I too claimed my annual freebie only to be sorely disappointed. Despite the name, Vanilla Birthday Cake smells not of its namesake, but...
