Advantages: Fresh, Clean And Comforting Scent

Disadvantages: None

I have written a few reviews on Philosophy products as I love the Philosophy behind them (Pardon the pun!) and each product I have tried has always worked for me and their products are a staple of my Beauty and skin care routine.
I had not until recently tried there perfumes but I was lucky enough to receive their perfume Pure Grace as a gift and I was hooked.


===== Philosophy====

Philosophy is a brand that has been going for good while now and their products are based on using very simple and pure ingredients.
Their aim is to simplify beauty and skin care and make it easy and accessible for everyone.
I have gone into greater detail about the Philosophy behind Philosophy on other review so have just condensed it here.

===== Packaging ====

The shape and design of the bottle is very classical and in keeping with their brand very simple.
It is a plain and clear glass bottle with a long silver lift off lid that reveals the pump spray.
The front of the bottle has a white label and the words Pure Grace written in black.
The back of the bottle has a white label on that contains the following feel good message.

"Philosophy's pure grace is the clean smell of soap and water, the memory of fresh air woven into a set of crisp white cotton sheets, the one white t-shirt that feels better than all the rest."

This is usual from Philosophy as most of their products have some kind of feel good message.


===== The Scent ====

The scent is unlike anything that I have ever used before. The very first thing that I noticed when I sprayed it was that I was taken back to my childhood and in particular my Grandparents home where I spend many a happy time, it was that freshly washed clean smell mixed with the smell of newborn babies, It also has a slight undertone of musk which gives it a stronger fragrance and is what I would describe as a very clean scent.
The scent is very strong when first applied but then after a few minutes it develops into something more subtle. I love the fact that I can actually smell the perfume on myself.
If you are looking for a strong sexy or heavy fragrance then this is perhaps not the one for you but as a day time perfume it is hard to beat.
It also lasts all day and I can usually still smell it the next day on myself.


=====My Overall Opinion =====

I think that this is a beautiful scent and I wear it everyday and although I am used to the scent I can still smell it on myself.
When ever I wear it I am always asked what it is and have received many compliments on it and I think that that is because it is an unusual scent and is quite unlike any other out there.
I also think that while fragrances you have worn before can evoke memories the fact that this did that the first time I used it makes it a very comforting perfume to use and it makes me feel lovely as soon as I put it on and is like getting a hug from your best friend.
