Let me start by saying that the product works as well as Philosophy's other products. However, I have nearly all of the Philosophy 3-in-1's and I keep hoping that they will get a "vanilla" one right. This "flavor" is even worse than their "Vanilla Ice Cream" in the sense that it barely has a fragrance at all. Whereas "Vanilla Ice Cream" smells (strongly) like the plastic used in shower curtains, this one smells pretty much like the base used in all of Philosophy's 3-in-1's. I certainly do not detect a bit of the "Vanilla Cupcake" fragrance they claim the product should have. What I do detect as a slight fragrance vanishes immediately after the product leaves the bottle. I must say that I am not impressed with Philosophy's new 3-in-1's at this point. The "Vanilla Cupcake" stinks and the "Mimosa" smells like Pina Colada to me. If you want a good Philosophy 3-in-1, get the "Cinnamon Buns", "Pumpkin Pie", "Eggnog", "Spiced Apple Cider", or "Double Rich Hot Cocoa" variations. And always remember that if you use these products as a shampoo, you will need to use a good conditioner afterwards.

I love these products...for what it is, I use it as a shower gel and the lather is great, doesn't dry me out. But I was excited for a Vanilla Cupcake sented experience... I was dissapointed. I would recommend the other products, the fruity ones, ice cream ones, Key Lime pie for sure..I would not buy this again for the smell.

I was so intrigued by being able to shower and come out smelling like a cupcake, but was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this does smell good and feels soft going on your skin. However, the scent is nothing like a cupcake, more like a cheap vanilla.

I'd recommend trying another scent or buy a cheaper vanilla if that's what you're going for.

Sephora is great as always with prompt shipping and nice packaging.

There's nothing I enjoy more than a Sunday morning mimosa, and now you can have one every morning. This is a refreshing but relaxed scent. Unlike some of Philosophy's products which come on strong, the orange is tempered by the "champagne" undertones. It's the perfect summer bath gel. My husband loves it as well, especially used as a shampoo.

I love scented body washes and lotions such as Cucumber Melon, Peach, Sweet Pea etc..., so I decided to try something a little out of the ordinary and purchased Philosophy's Vanilla Birthday Cake. After I made the purchase, I thought for sure that it was a mistake and would end up sending it back for a refund. To my surprise, I was very impressed. The scent is not overwhelming and if you can't eat, why not wear it. I'm excited to try other scents from this collection.

If you're disappointed because this product doesn't smell like a vanilla cupcake, try Perlier Vanilla Cream Bath. It's made with REAL vanilla beans and smells EXACTLY like vanilla cake mix.

Not only does this gel smell terrific, like real raspberry sorbet, it is functional as well. This lathers up nice and you don't have to use a lot of product. You use it as a body wash, a shampoo and a conditioner and I suppose for a bubble bath too. So that makes it four in one. I take this on trips because its easy to grab and put in my overnight bag and I can take less product with me. I also will use this when I'm running late and have to take a quick shower. This also comes in many other yummy scents. Try them and you will not be disappointed.

The smell of this product is not very nice at all - smells like a mixture of orange juice, milk and plastic. I haven't been able to use it much because it makes me nauseous. Consistency wise - it's fairly thick & I didn't find that it lathered very easily as a body wash. This product has been relegated to the 'use as a foot wash so we can get rid of it quickly' basket.

I was very disappointed in the Philosophy Shampoo/Bubble Bath/BodyWash that was expensive!!

It didn't lather in my hair at all, not matter how much water I added to it and it's way too thick and doesn't dissolve in the water.

I was very disappointed in it and can't imagine spending $20 for this "premium" item. I'm glad I had a gift certificate and didn't spend my own money. My daughter now uses it to play with her dolls in the bathtub.

Don't waste your money.

I love Philosophy's products and the fact that it's a 3 in 1 product: shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath.

I have used this as a shower gel and shampoo. The shower gel, to me, seems like it takes more to suds up. The shampoo makes my hair nice and soft.

However the smell of the raspberry in it doesn't last long. Only in the time you wash and rinse off.
