What it does: The firming body emulsion is an award-winning moisturizer for dry skin.

Amazing lotion
I love Amazing Grace. It is probably my favorite scent, this lotion can be worn alone or layer it with the original fragrance. I can't do without this stuff. It is...to be corny...AMAZING! Light on musky, clean and teeny bit floral. You have to smell it, there is no way to describe Amazing Grace.

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE
This body cream is what hooked me to Philosophy brand more than 15 years ago. The beautiful fragrance used to linger on the body for hours after applying. The firming cream I never felt it to be special, it did not firm anything on my body, but the fragrance was truly heavenly. UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS GONE. I don't know what they did, the production on the bottle is still showing to be in USA, so I don't understand why is the formula different, but this is NOT the same product that was 10 years ago. I used to buy this cream every month for years until few years ago when I noticed that the fragrance did not last. I knew then that something has changed, and I tried to compensate for the loss of fragrance in the cream with the Amazing Grace perfume. That was another disappointment. The perfum only has the Amazing Grace fragrance (somewhat) when you smell the bottle, but it has a completely different smell when sprayed (a cheap perfume smell).
After repeated times of buying the cream and being disappointed with the missing fragrance I stop buying it. Few weeks ago I decided to try it againg in the hope that they corrected what ever they did to mess up this cream, unfortunately the famos Amazing Grace fragrance cream it's not no longer Amazing. The fragrance did not last more than 5 minutes on the body, still has a hint of that famous fragrance, but even it doesn't last.
WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT !
I am not the only long time customer who complained about the change of formula. When they first started with the new cream it got a lot of backlash and complaints on your site from life long customers on this product, so why not going back to the original product? Why not listening to your customers? and WHY change something that had nothing wrong with it in the first place???
I will not buy this cream again, and I don't recommend it. The only reason I paid so much money for a body cream was because of the fragrance. You loose the fragrance and the cream is not worth the price, its just an ordinary overpriced body cream.

Lovely stuff
This makes getting old lovely. It really benefits this old woman's skin health. Or, it just perks me up and send me out into the world.

Amazing is Right!
Love it! My skin feels very good in just a few days of using. I read that this is great for legs, and I can tell the difference. Highly recommend for dry/aged skin!

Amazing Grace
The first time I smelt Amazing Grace was on my sister-in-law. After I found out what she was wearing, I bought myself some. It stays on me all day and night. It is not an overwhelming smell but soft and delicate. I buy her some every year for her Birthday. It's become a ritual for us.

The Scent Isn't the Same
I've been using Amazing Grace firming body emulsion for at least ten years. The last bottle I purchased barely has any scent. Usually when opening a new bottle, I would be greeted by the enticing scent I've grown to love. This bottle barely smelled like anything. I kept it and have been using it as it is moisturizing, but it has no scent.
I put it on in the morning after using Amazing Grace shower gel, and I finish with Amazing Grace eau de parfum. Same as I've done for years. It used to be that I could still smell the scent at the end of the day, and even still noticed it on my laundry come laundry day. Now, I barely notice it half an hour later. It's so disappointing. This is my signature scent. I hope this was a fluke, but having read other reviews with the same complaint, I don't think it was. Please listen to your loyal customers and bring back the original formula. The scent was devine and lasted all day, even without layering. I don't want to have to find another signature scent after all this time.

Never feels oily
This lotion absorbs almost instantly and is one of the few lotions that doesn’t feel oily. I love that I can layer scent that stays on all day.
