philosophy cinnamon buns shower gel | 480ml | bubble bath | body wash

Product Information

I really wish that Philosophy would make a perfume in this scent, as I'd wear it all throughout winter! As a bubble bath, the bubbles don't reach anything higher than a fizz, and they dissipate almost instantly, so I definitely don't recommend it for that purpose. Having resisted this urge I then pour a little of the slightly thick gel in my palm and start to lather.

Philosophy Cinnamon Buns Shower Gel is a scented body wash, bubble bath and shampoo that moisturises and cleanses skin and hair. I also decant this gel into a hand washing pump and have it on the side of the bathroom and kitchen, and that way I get to experience the cinnamon smell yet again! So if you like the smell of cinnamon (which you must do or you would not be looking at this product in the first place) go ahead and treat yourself or give as a gift because it is so lovely to use and who doesn't want to smell of cinnamon buns. the scent lingers on the body for a short time after the shower, but it has a great feel and leaves no greasy/oily film afterwards. I do wish it was a stronger scent though as I don't have the greatest sense of smell and I could really only smell it when I was up close to it, so it must have a fairly weak scent.It lathered up pretty well and also created a decent amount of bubbles, though not as much as the cheap children's bubble bath I usually use. It smells amazing and a little goes along way,so if you think it seems a little expensive for a shower gell it will last for a long time so works out good value for money. All in all, Philosophy's Cinnamon Buns 3-in-1 is a yummy scent, and works wonderfully as a body wash, but I wouldn't repurchase. The gel lathers really well as a body wash, and works okay as a shampoo (I do find that my roots get oilier a little quicker than usual with continual use - but using it here or there doesn't seem to cause this issue).

I have been known to take many baths in this too, it creates beautiful bubbles and I can sit there and read my book smelling of cinnamon, yet consuming no calories! It's not strong, and doesn't linger on the skin, so it won't compete with any perfumes/body sprays you use after showering. Unfortunately, the smell can only be enjoyed in the shower and doesn't stay on the skin after rinsing.I have to say something about the packaging - I love Philosophy's little recipes printed on their bottles and this one is no exception. I haven't tried Cinnamon Buns as a shampoo because my hair is color-treated, so I can't report on its performance there. I have to say the gel actually looks a lot like the frosting spread on the buns (yes I am obsessed with those buns!
