Philosophy's Cinnamon Bun, Gingerbread Man, or Candy Cane?

[Jennifer]

i wanna buy one for my sister, but not sure which one! which do you all prefer or think you would prefer, if you've never smelled it, as a gift?

thanks!

I chose Cinnamon Buns. I don't like the smell of Candy Canes (in general), but that's just me. To me, the Gingerbread Man scent smells more like Ginger Ale than a Gingerbread Cookie, the scent is not what I expected.

Cinnamon buns is one of my favorites.

If I never smelled it I would choose Candy Cane because it catches my eye more and it comes with a lip shine, but i would also be attracted to the Gingerbread Man. However, having smelled Gingerbread Man I would have to say it's a huge disappointment since it doesn't smell like gingerbread.

I've never smelled the Candy Cane, so I can't say anything about it. When I got the Ginger Man before it did smell like ginger ale - not bad, very light and crisp. I definitely prefer Cinnamon Buns out of any of them though.

I'd stick with either the Cinnamon Buns or the Candy Cane - Unless you have a specific preference between the two, I'd suggest the Candy Cane.

I haven't sniffed the latter, but Cinnamon Buns pretty much sniffs (thats my word /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) like any other Cinnamon scented product out there these days (to me at least) and so there's nothing really special about it. If you're wanting a good cinnamon scent, I'd actually suggest BBW's Temptations Cinnamon Bun Heaven 3-IN-1 or Lotion (some even say it smells like Tutti Dolci's Cinnamon Frosting).

It is MUCH longer lasting which Philosophy is definitely not known for.

Candy Cane...superficially is much more pleasing to the eye...and would attract me into giving it a try. Something I just might do.

Gingerbread I've heard in their souffles is very unsuccessful ("like liquid plastic" some have told me) and to be honest when I think of souffles, I think of something light and airy...something like TD's souffles.

The Gingerbread scrub is good though.

Again if you want something in the whole Gingerbread scheme I'd suggest BBWs Temptations Spicey Gingerbread.

I hope I've helped somewhat /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...and hope I didn't bring you back to square one.

Cinnabuns is their best seller so I would go for that one.

My 14 year old neice requested "Candy Cane" for Christmas. I have Gingerbread Man and I have to agree, it really does not have much scent.

 

[Jennifer]

thank you sooooooooo much, all!

 

[Marisol]

Which one will you get her?

i love them all but i voted for Gingerbread Man since it is Christmas time.... i also do love Cinnamon Buns, but you can buy it any time of the year.... but any choice would be great......

I haven't smelled any of them, but I voted for Candy Cane /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Cinnamon Buns! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Sendie]

Cinnamon Buns for sure!

I voted for Cinnamon Buns. I haven't smelled Candy Cane yet (have a sample I'm saving until Christmastime) but I know Cinnamon Buns is almost universally loved, so it's the safest bet. (Doesn't almost everyone in the mall slow down and say, "mmmmmm!" when they pass the Cinnabon kiosk?) Gingerbread Man is a nice, light scent, but someone who doesn't like ginger ale probably won't love Gingerbread Man, so keep that in mind. I've heard everyone say that Candy Cane smells JUST like a real candy cane - not just peppermint, but a sweetness to the odor as well. Hope this helps!

 

[girlnextdoor]

I heard people say it smells exactly like a Candy Cane, but I am one of the few who doesn't think it smells that way at all. I didn't detect any sweetness to it whatsoever. It is a stronger mint smell. In fact, it is just Empowermint repackaged for Christmas time. It is still a nice, invigorating, scent.

Ohh lucky girl! I've always wanted to try Philosophy!
