You Smell Good Enough to Eat

Published on Thursday, November 16, 2006, by Stephanie365 / Edit Post

Everyone’s familiar with Philosophy’s ridiculously rich and tempting bath products. Well, everyone girly, anyway. I’m particularly partial to their Eggnog Bath Gel and Gingerbread Man Hot Salt Scrub at this time of year, and I walk around smelling like a plate of Christmas cookies.

This holiday season, Bath & Body Works proves just how familiar they are with Philosophy’s products as they release their own line of Crazy Caramel Corn, Spicy Gingerbread, Wickedly Hot Chocolate, and Twisted Peppermint. Not only are the flavors shockingly familiar, but some of the packaging also seems to recall Philosophy’s.

Gael at Pop Culture Junk Mail gives a thumbs up to the seasonal unguents, but she also loves another seasonal Bath & Body Works lotion:

It’s also the season for Vanilla Bean Noel body lotion, which is the only lotion I’ll use after a workout, and which is so yummy that if I run out during the year, I will buy it on eBay rather than use another product.

I might have to do some extensive bath testing.

  • The sight of a bakery is ususally a good enough incentive to stuff my pockets with glazed goodies! I used to have those dessert flavored lip balms (Lipsmackers) and had to stop using them because I kept snacking. It's a vicious cycle: apply cinnamon bun gloss, eat some buttery baked good, realize you've eaten off gloss, reapply.

    Interestingly, I've found that after being in the kitchen cooking a meal that has taken awhile, I lose my appetite. I have read that there's something about smelling food for an extended period of time that can do something to your appetite.

    Of course, that doesn't extend to me walking by a bakery and having to buy donuts based solely on the smell.-COLLAPSE

  • I just bought Philosophy's Gingerbread Man shower gel for my sister. It smelled tasty, and unlike the Ice Cream Man and Eggnog, didn't fill the air with a thick candied bubble gum cloud that made me want to dash for the nearest Coldstone. In other words, you can bathe without fear of gaining 5 lbs ; )
