I LOVE this product! I actually have washed my hair with this stuff when I've been in a hurry, and my hair actually smells and feels good. I think that this product is almost as good as eating comfort food (cinnamon buns, chocolate frosting etc.) One fun thing to do is to buy a sampler so you can get to try them all. Homemade Pies and the Chocolate Lovers Cookbook are wonderful to try.

This was my first philosohy body wash and certainly will not be my last. I even put this in my bathroom soap pumps for use when I wash my hands. LOVE THIS! I am anxious to try other food scents.

Smells yummy (maybe the people who said it smells like plastic got a bad batch?).

I've also found it be a GREAT shampoo for my color-treated hair. Doesn't strip out the color at all.

I have the 16oz. bottle and it's kind of unweildly in the shower if you don't have big hands. Just make sure you rinse your hands off well before you reach for the bottle -- if they're at all slick, you'll drop the bottle! Because of that, I wish the bottle was more frosted or texturized.

But overall, good stuff.

Agree with reviewers below that this is more of a pumpkin spice scent with no real "pie" notes. Also agree with the wishes that it would linger a bit longer post-shower. I have tried using it as a shampoo but there's NO WAY that you can get away without using a conditioner, so any fragrance benefits to the hair are negated. I don't *dislike* this product but I can't help feeling that an Etailer could do this much better.

I love this spicy pumpkin scent- it reminds me of Christmas! I'm not comfortable with using the 3-in-1 as a shampoo, but I do love it for the body and for shaving my legs. This and cinnamon buns are my faves. Still not sold on the other scents yet.

RIS, this smells like pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin and is warm and yummy. Perfect for fall and winter. Typical of philosophy's other 3-in-1's, little moisture, but overall a nice scent and wash. I want to try the recipe on the bottle, it looks at though it would work.

I couldn't wait to try this scent. It was the only one I didn't own. I was SOOOO disappointed when I opened it up! It smells like cloves! I thought it would smell like baked pumpkin pie. I used it in the shower, still gross. The color in the bottle is nice, BUT it looks like some sort of orange/yellow snot! It didn't lather very well, and the smell is disgusting. It should be called clove,plastic pie! My 3 in 1's are off limits to anyone but me, NOT this one! I put it in the shower and told everyone they could have it. My oldest said it was ok, but basically it is still sitting there (collecting dust!)

my older sun chose this out of all the philosphy 3-in-1s. he's 6 1/2. i haven't had a chance to try it out, but he and his brother love to have it used on their hair and bodies.

I love philosophy 3 in 1's! I do agree with other reviewers in that it tends to be drying. I don't use them in the shower anymore, but I sometimes will use them in the bath. I use 3 in 1's in the soap dispensers in my bathrooms. I love the way my hands smell afterward, although the scent is fleeting (as it should be). Fragrance is like pumpkin pie, and not at all offensive to me. I knocked off one point for the drying effect. Wish I could find a similar product which doesn't dry out your hands.

Received this as a gift from my dear sister. This is my favorite 3-n-1 next to Eggnog and Cinnamon Buns. The color is very accurate (pumpkin pie batter). The scent has more spice and less pumpkin, which I like. It smells so delicious. When I'm in the shower I'm smiling while inhaling the scrumptious aroma. The formula lathers up into a creamy froth. I'm instantly transformed into a "cloud-nine" mood every time I use it. I wish the scent remained on my skin a little longer. It makes my whole bathroom smell absolutely decadent. Mmmm...Cinnamon and Nutmeg! I love it!!

This product is absolutely not worth the money. i have found better shower gels at the drugstore. What you are paying for is the novelty of the product. The scent smells slightly like pumpkin but ehn has this strong overtone of plastic. It smells like a plastic Barbie Doll. It is not moisturizing in the least and leaves my skin feeling dry and itchy. Spend your money on something other then this ridiculously priced shower gel.

Pumpkin Pie was my first 3 in 1, and I adore the smell. It smells strongly of cinnamon, but slightly pumpkin-y, which some may not like, but I think it's wonderful. It's not a particularly long lasting scent, though it's not meant to be, and I prefer just having it smell good in the shower. I do not use it in my hair, because it is very dry, but as a body wash it is fairly moisturizing. I wish it wasn't $16, because I think that's high for a body wash, but I will definitely buy it again when I run out.

This stuff is sooooo friggin' spicy. I had hoped it would be a nice soft pumpkin pie smell, like Cinnamon Buns but it's far from it. It's okaaaaaaaay, but it's much too spicy for me. (when I say spicy, I mean the scent)

I love the smell of this. I have only used this as a body wash and it works well. The only drawback is, if some drips down the side of the bottle, it dries up looking kinda gross.

This was a gift from a dear roommate. I was waiting to try this so I really appreciate how thotful she was to give me one. But I wish Philosophy made this better....not good as a shampoo/conditioner...no def not. Left my asian hair stripped. As a body wash, it was all right but I'm left wondering if I could swap it for cinnamon buns or something :P some ppl really like this scent tho, so i guess it's just personal preference.

I went crazy this December ordering a ton of body washes from Philosophy. They ALL smell great. This smells just like the spices they use in Pumpkin Pie. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Bottle is cute with the pie recipe on it. I found that it works better in the shower with steam than in the bath tub. You can smell it better in the shower. I'll but this again when it runs out, but I have about 10 other bottles to go through before that.

This product's spicy scent reminds me exactly of a pumpkin pie. I love it! But I'm surprised that people seemed to expect that the scent would last after you get out of the shower. This is a body wash, and it's meant to be rinsed off the body like any other body wash, so there's no way the scent could last. If I *did* smell the product after I got out of the shower, I'd be concerned that the stuff wasn't rinsing off properly.

This is the grossest pumpkin smell ever. I hate it so much. Smelled of cloves and that is it.

It smelled great while I was in the shower but 5 minutes later you couldn't smell a thing. I am glad I got it off ebay instead of paying full price.

Not quite what I was expecting, but overall, still pretty decent. Has the general wonderful qualities of Philosophy 3 in 1s - rich, thick, gel with a good lather. The scent is a little too spicy to be "real" pumpkin pie, and the spicy scent is crushing what pumpkin there is. Even so, it's not bad. Lingers every so slightly out of the shower. Won't use this on a regular basis; it's my "November" shower gel.
