Philosophy Holiday 2014 Treats + Coty Fragrances

Sweet scents and morning talks about beauty & fragrance is a good way to start the day. So when the ladies of Philosophy Philippines invited me to morning tea at The Lobby in Manila Peninsula to do exactly this, I couldn’t say no. They showcased the brand’s holiday 2014 products as well as fragrances under the Coty portfolio.

Orange Cranberry Spritzer Shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, P1,395.

This energising blend of citrus blended with the tart sweetness of cranberries is sophisticated, balanced and bright. The hint of citrus topped with intoxicating cranberry makes it refreshingly sweet.

Almond Glazed Shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, P1,395.

Enjoy a sweet moment with the nutty richness of almonds blended with a hint of warm sugar. OMG. This smells sooooo good. When you lather this on you, you’ll feel like you’re a glazed donut!

Snow Angel Shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, P1,395.

Inspired by the wonder of freshly fallen snow, the unique scent of snow angel is designed to transport you to a beautiful night dotted with stars and snowflakes. I love the delicate yet sweet scent that reminds me of babies and angels.

Christmas Cookie Shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, P1,395.

Sweet memories are in the making and in the baking. This season, indulge in the yummy and delicious scent of christmas cookie. OMG. The smell will really remind you of Christmas morning. The scent lets you feel like you’re Martha Stewart prepping for Christmas in your Pinterst-worthy kitchen, waiting for your gingerbread cookies to come out of the oven.

Aside from learning about Philosophy’s Holiday products, we also helped ourselves with the fragrances from Coty. I wish there’s a blog option where I can let you smell these scents. It’s better for you to experience it firsthand, so head on over to the nearest Department store near you to try spritzing and spraying these perfumes yourself.

Here are some of Philosophy’s Christmas offerings.

I haven’t tried any of Philosphy’s skin care as I always go for their exhilarating shampoo & shower gel. Hopefully I get to try Hope In A Jar for Dry Skin & Eye Cream as I’m really interested in finding more great products for my skin.
