Amazing Grace by Philosophy

Chris v.V.

Came home with a sample (I watched her actually spray it into a bottle, put it in a little ziplock bag, label it and hand it directly to me), so I know I'm on the right page.

Still, I'm sensing something totally different than other reviewers.

On my skin I get a LOT of fragrant TEA, believe it or not. And a sense of the BEACH, too (not in a water notes way, but in a salty/coral way). Weird, huh?

And it's very pleasant! However, like the other reviewers, I find it doesn't last long at all. I could see myself owning this, but I'd have to spray it every hour on the hour, and the bottle would be gone in no time.

This perfume actually makes me nauseous. I've worn it on other occasions and the same feeling would over come me. I don't know what chemical or arrangement of notes does this, but it's not pleasant.

I found Amazing Grace to last the entire day and thought it was a light, pleasing scent. However, my husband told me at least 3 times that it didn't smell like a fragrance, but like deodorant soap....ok, it's going back.

Around 11am this morning, I applied one spray on the inside of my elbow. It is now after 4pm and Amazing Grace is still delighting me with it's soft, beautiful presence. I am fairly certain that my sample is the EDT version. So many reviews read that this isn't long lasting. I must disagree. Granted, this scent stays very close to the skin and it is not a perfume meant for getting "noticed." Yet, I must admit, I am truly enjoying Amazing Grace! This is a sheer floral meshed with a clean musk to create a sweet, fresh skin scent. It reminds me a bit of these beautiful scented soaps that I have called, "Fresh Linen." I don't detect any fruit in the open. I layered this with an all-natural rose body cream and it really smells so lovely and feminine. The rose in Amazing Grace is quite similar to the rose in my body cream...a soft, "real rose" scent...nothing synthetic. This begins quite delicately and within minutes, it warms to my skin, lifting my spirit. I am eager to try the EDP and scented oil in this. Depending on which concentration I prefer, I will definately purchase.

I do believe that this would be a perfect gift for nearly any woman of any age for any occasion/season, night or day. Amazing Grace is really so pretty.

Helllooooo, jasmine! I tested this at Macy's and almost immediately forgot it was on my wrist. Not a particularly good sign for a perfume, but it was at the end of a very long and exhausting shopping expedition.

I may have missed some fireworks in there, but when I smelled my wrist a couple hours later - all I could smell was jasmine. It's a good smell, a pleasant smell, but when I go for a perfume, I like a bit of adventure and variety. Oh well.

its ok with me. i heard amazing things about his perfume, so i bought it, but its too baby powdery!

Ive got it but prefer the smell of the body lotion, which lasts so much longer and somehow smells different and better in my view.

i find guilty! jasmine!..in this mix, jasmine smells like a fart effect!

guest_Senem

Amazing grace smells a few hours after like gasoline,dirty diaper,or fart.i apologize but im serious.Philosophy pure grace is very simple soap (powdery) only soap.. not parfum..

OceanLovePotion

good. fresh and clean. does not last long, and hard to detect. so sad, would've been so good if it lasted...

guest_.jvin

This one is so hyped, or was very hyped some time ago, and it´s soooo blahhh. The best thing about this perfume is it´s name , but it doesn´t fit at all. Grace? No,when I hear "grace" I picture a really elegant perfume, and not this laundry-fresh, baby-whipe "Amazing Grace", sorry...

Amazing Grace is fresh, innocent, & gentle - an understated minimalist fragrance providing a very attractive burst of pure, Spring sunshine. The lack of evolving layers does make it a little insipid, however, & it's softness is much too fleeting for statement wear.

I love this. AMAZING GRACE is very soft, feminine and clean.
It’s deliberately close to the skin so just you & that special someone can smell it, rather then the whole street. Being so simple and uncluttered, AMAZING GRACE doesn’t smell artificial.
I also love the sleek, simple bottle design.

Sometimes less is more.

Musky w/ some lemon..musty on me. Maybe it's my body chemistry..

This is my favorite perfume. It smells very clean and yet the floral is there making it very feminine. If I could only wear one scent--this is it! I wear it to work with no problems. It just makes me feel good. I love the body lotion and body wash as well. Its not overpowering but I know I have it on. This perfume is wonderful! I love the soapy note to it. It's great for someone that doesn't want to overpower at work but wants to smell clean and good.

This fragrance is way to sharp for me. It reminds me of something a person would wear to a bbq. i know that's weird but that's how peppery it smells. im glad it didnt last.

Amazing Grace is "amazing". Simple balanced perfume. Perfect for day and night. I really love this one, it is my number 1 favorite. Is is light and fresh and not to heavy.

guest_Mimi

I really love Amazing Grace. Got a sample and this is just what I was looking for : fresh, clean and sexy.
I bought a big 4 oz. bottle and still very happy with it. The thing I don't like is that it has poor staying power. So next time I will get an eau de perfume.

A floral i do not like. It smells sort of medicinal crossed with old lady perfume on me. Thank goodness it does not last long.

I prefer Pure Grace.

Upon dry down, I smell Amazing Grace as quite peppery. I have received compliments on this one from others as smelling 'warm'. Scent does not last long on my either. Sigh.

On the plus side? This is one of the freshest and cleanest scents I have ever owned, so much so that I imagine it to be the sort of fragrance even fragrance-haters can appreciate. On the minus side, Amazing Grace has a deplorable lack of staying power, even when layered. To sum up, a good scent, but a frustratingly fleeting one.

love this but this doesnt last on my skin
BHOOO SOB SOB !!!!!!
