My obsession with this brand started around May last year when I decided to shake up my skincare routine (Clinique was making my face way too tight for my liking). So to cut a long story short I placed my first order soon after and have kept going back since. Since I reside in Australia and what limited philosophy products we get here are ridiculously overpriced I order all my products online. Due to this I have no idea what they smell like before I get them however I have never been disappointed yet.
Since a lot of the holiday items are on sale right now I decided to place an order which I feel was a total indulgence which is what I love about it. The entire order is just yummy smelling body wash and lotion, no skin care products at all! I ordered The Gingerbread Girl 3-in-1 and lotion, Pumpkin Spice 3-in-1 and lotion, the Amazing Grace scrub, Candy Cane lip gloss and the Raspberry Sorbet 3-in-1. I may put reviews up as I go through them but today I want to devote the rest of this post to Raspberry Sorbet.

This lovely bottle of body wash smells amazing, like a berry scented Summer breeze. I suppose if you hate raspberries this would not be the body wash for you as all philosophy products smell true to life.
It's not only the smell I love about this wash. Having super sensitive skin it can be hard to find a nice smelling body wash that doesn't make me itch like crazy for the two hours after I get out of the shower. Raspberry Sorbet (along with Amazing Grace, the other philosophy shower gel I use) doesn't make me itch at all, and the perfume in the wash doesn't irritate any problem areas of skin I may have such as patches of eczema. While this may not seem like much to those who can use whatever they want on their skin, to those of us who have had to use Alveeno or other gentle but non-scented washes this is amazing!
The only downside to this product is that the scent doesn't last that long after you are out of the shower. I find with Amazing Grace you can elongate the scent by using the matching lotion, sadly Raspberry Sorbet doesn't have one of those. However I suppose if you shower in the morning instead of at night the non lingering scent is good because it won't clash with your perfume.
All in all I love this product and will most likely re-purchase when it runs out. It's a great scent for Summer nights which I enjoy using. Although I secretly can't wait till Autumn so I can break out the Pumpkin Spice scent.
