I generally don’t lean towards sweet fragrances as I prefer more musky and floral scents, but I’ve recently been trying out the new additions to the Philisophy Fresh Cream range and it may have just converted me over to the sweeter side of scents. Although the name suggests this range would have a sickly scent there is also a mix of vanilla, sweet macadamia, and soft floral notes of almond blossom and heliotrope to balance it out.
I’ve been trying out the Fresh Cream Eau De Toilette (£34) and the 3 in 1 Shower Cream, Bubble Bath and Shampoo (£19.50).Even though the range is on the sweeter side I would also say that due to the mix of other ingredients it ends up having quite a musky more mature feel that you would expct.
I love the Philosophy shampoo, shower cream and bubble baths because they create really lovely bubbles for baths and lather up really nicely in the shower. I find they leave the skin feeling silky soft and this scent is one that’s lovely to use in the evening before bed as you go to sleep to the sweet scent of vanilla. I don’t ever use these as a shampoo but if you’re not fussy about shampoo then I can imagine having your hair smell of their scents would be lovely.
The perfume is a balanced mix between sweet cream and musk on the skin and and I found that the scent lingered throughout the day, which is definitely what you want. This range as a perfume definitely isn’t for everyone as I think it’s probably aimed at younger girls but it’s definitely an interesting scent and worth a sniff!
