I have to agree with Susan that Philosophy puts out some great products. But you have to be in the mood to use them because the scents are typically quite heavy. One Philosophy 3-in-1 gel that I purchased last December was a holiday Macy's/Nordstrom-exclusive scent called Spicy Gumdrop. I loved it! The scent itself is hard to describe, because what does a spicy gumdrop really smell like? And how is that any different from a sour patch kid or a nuclear sq-worm? But it was just more soft than what I'm used to with Philosophy and it had a nice shimmery green color for the season. It was lovely.
Q: Do you ever use Philosophy 3-in-1 for shampooing or conditioning?
Another new product that I recently purchased is the Schweppes Ginger Ale candle from Sephora. I got the big one since the travel-size smells a little off, not sure why. It really makes a room smell fresh! And it's just like ginger ale with a lime twist. The scent is long-lasting too. Sometimes I burn it at night and I can still smell it the next morning in my room. Overall, great candle. I highly recommend it.
Lastly, I would like to talk about a perfume from Vera Wang that I came across last weekend. It's called "Look" and it has a really refreshing citrus smell. Very orang-y. I liked the scent immediately. However, I did not like the bottle, it's ugly. When I looked it up on sephora.com, it says that this is "new," so that's probably why I haven't noticed it before. This will be really pleasant for light summer daytime wear and I think that I may purchase it once the weather gets a little nicer. So give it a sniff next time you're in Sephora, and let me know what you think!

I went into Sephora this weekend, but DISCLAIMER - I have a cold and haven't been able to smell anything for a week. However, I picked up Vera Wang's perfume and from what I could tell it did smell lovely. I will have to go back when I'm feeling better. Also, I smelled Philosophy's Cinnamon Hot Dotes. I could smell that through my cold which I guess is a good sign that it's extra strong??
Also, as for your question about the 3 in 1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash: Yes, I have used as a shampoo/conditioner. I wanted my hair to have the scent. However, I don't think it really works as a shampoo/conditioner because I still needed another conditioner on top of it. It left my hair too tangled and not shiny enough for my liking. But I would do it again if I were in a bind or lost on a desert island.
