I have a little bottle of this & matching lotion that I’d like to trade. Don’t really care for this
леонтьев – :
I can’t help but continue to love this after all these years. After bouncing around to high end niche and some wild and crazy different scents it’s nice to return on occasion to safe! This one is gentle and safe. Find the vintage version if you can. I did obtain a first run of Coty when they got their hands on this company and it smelled just like my pre coty. Word of warning, the current stuff is a shadow of the original. Non the less I just adore it every time.
kvk305 – :
Really like this. But. I find the Bath items used with the lotion works better for me. Leaves a much cleaner scent. Exactly like fresh, clean linens. The perfume has a nasty drydown on a lot of people. Like maybe their bottle got old? You smell it on almost everyone now, so I don’t use the spray anymore.
LenaBar69 – :
Beautiful clean fragrance. Stronger than Pure Grace (which I love), more sillage, more longevity. And what is even better is the body lotion. Still, I would ask for more longevity for the price I am paying (which is high, considering I must order online and pay a lot for shipping, as Philosophy products aren’t sold in my country). If you like clean fragrances, you should try this, together with the body lotion and possibly the shower gel too.
Vikky – :
I really like the smell of AG. The only thing is I have to spray it about 20 times to even get a whiff of it. And it has zero staying power. Pity cause I would totally buy this if it was better quality.
cokol007 – :
This perfume was destroyed when Coty took over Philosophy. Previously it had a moderate sillage and great staying power – along with a beautiful clean soapy, flowery scent. Now I smell mostly alcohol with a small remnant of what the scent once was – no staying power and zero sillage. I won’t be buying this scent anymore. It used to be the epic non-perfume – perfume to wear. Now you may as well actually not wear any!
chfybl658 – :
top is lots of manadrine with the other tart citruses present then a middle with freesia, jasmine and rose all held together by musk; very common and boring
пончик – :
This is a very clean smelling, soapy fragrance. I really like it. I don’t think anyone else has compared it to this but I had a sample of Chanel no5 l’eau, and it sort of reminds me of it but it’s half the price.
I get lots of comments about what a lovely smell it is, even when I can’t smell it myself. I like it but don’t love it, however everyone else seems to like it who smells it on me.
Валерия725 – :
This was always my signature scent until a couple of years ago when I started to get into more niche fragrances and wanted to find something a little more sophisticated.
The EDT and EDP of this are completely different! The EDP is very citrus forward (grapefruit to me specifically) versus the EDT which is lighter, cleaner and more floral.
I actually prefer the EDT and had purchased the EDP hoping it would have more silage than the EDT but smell the same (it didn’t). I still keep a small size of this around for nostalgias sake, and it’s a great daytime scent that I miss wearing sometimes (especially since I haven’t found a new signature).
Aerohoplenerimju – :
This is not a review; it is a thank you to those who posted that this is not a long lasting perfume. I’m so glad I checked here before ordering. I’ve always been curious about this line and it has been picked up by my favorite department store. I’ve been wearing Estee Lauder for nearly 50 years, so you know I have no patience with weak perfume, especially when it’s expensive weak perfume.
kalderZloi – :
Oh no. Oh… no. The musk in this turns both plasticky and the bad sort of sweat after about 10 minutes on me. Mind, the rest of this is a pretty floral with citrus that dies off pretty fast. Relatively inoffensive & nothing to write home about. But, this musk is killing me. I’m washing it off now at minute 25.
LIZARD68 – :
Not really a fan. I think its my chemistry because I have smelled this perfume on other women and it smells wonderful just not on me. It almost comes thru as medicinal on me and I don’t like that at all. I received a sample bottle with an item I purchased and am glad I didn’t pay for this. Like I said it is a beautiful scent on others.
HealthSleeping – :
This fragrance is the scent of innocence. It is light and sweet and reminds me of being young again. The citrus scents come out loud and clear, but the floral notes come to the forefront very quickly. I really like this light scent, which would be perfect for the spring/summertime. And especially for a young girl just starting out with perfume. The only drawback. It doesn’t last very long. At the most, you can smell the base note up to three hours later, but not much longer.
gonmyu21 – :
I am a late comer to the Philosophy line. I just never tried any of them for some reason. But a cousin of mine always smells so delicious, and as it turns out she wears Amazing Grace. She lives a very casual, coastal life, and she lives in simple, cool linen and cotton tops and cropped pants and espadrilles, with no makeup, just a clean, radiant complexion. This suits her to a ‘T’. I love this scent. It’s a clean, skin-scenty musk, very fresh and pure. I don’t know the older version so I can’t complain of reformulation. I’m sort of lusting after this fragrance but it is so my cousin’s that I feel like I should let it be.
digz6666 – :
To my nose this starts out very much like Vera Wang’s Vera Wang. Lovely and cheerful smelling. I was so happy until an hour later when it completely disappeared. Longevity is pretty terrible. Such a bummer.
dmitriy74 – :
I once loved this scent very much. Unfortunately, when Coty bought and reformulated this scent (EDT), they murdered the longevity and sillage. I literally have to bathe in this scent for it to last only a few hours, if I’m lucky, as it wears off promptly after spraying. I definitely have to layer with the lotion for even modest longevity. Attempting all of the above adds up in price, so buyer beware. A soft, clean floral that no longer lives up to it’s name. The only upside to this fleeting fragrance after reformulation is that it is less powdery on my skin, even though other reviews note a strong baby powder scent.
ShumGunny – :
I smelled this on a lady years ago and asked her what she was wearing. It smelled so incredibly great,I knew I had to have it. This is a fresh-out-of-the-shower subtle clean scent that never offends. No blasts of atomic fruit or flowers.Just a delightful scent experience.
Battwqw – :
I just bought this again after not having it for a year or two… Um Philosophy has really perfected this!!! The bottle I had before was NOT as pretty as this!!!! So good on you Philosophy!!!! I have fallen in love!!!! I have the edt also. Bought in Dec 2017 at Ulta… Batch code 7208 made in July 2017
Added thoughts…I have been using this almost exclusively since I bought it!!!!! It is my go to for everyday. Absolutely obsessed with this! 🙂
This is missing a note in the description: Lily of the Valley.
alekc1964 – :
Blind bought this today and tested it.. It’s very nice and airy, kind of reminds me of an angel on a cloud (the name probably gives that impression too) but so far I don’t find it groundbreaking. I know a lot of people have said that Coty may have messed around with it so I’m conscious that the reformulation may be what’s made it less appealing. Would be interested to see if I could find an original to compare them both. I do like it but not that amazed overall, I get the florals and I smell a little powder (which weirdly is not listed in the notes). I think it would have been my favourite scent if I’d got it in my younger days. A good day time scent anyway.
*** After wearing it properly for one whole day I am definitely going to pass this on. It doesn’t last at all on my skin and I can’t escape the soapy note :/ Disappointed ***
50822 – :
Amazing Grace is amazing! I love it. It’s a very fresh floral with freesia and rose over clean musk. It’s soft and light and a perfect everyday fragrance for spring and summer.
prg1976 – :
I found an old bottle in the back of my closet. It’s the bottle with stickers on both sides. Wow Coty really changed the scent. The old Amazing Grace is strong and lovely. The new Amazing Grace really is a shadow of its former self. They muted down the original Amazing Grace scent and added a lot of musk.
rom-ka77777 – :
Like Simply Belle, Amazing Grace EDT is straight up glue (I probably had some amazing glue in my childhood because several perfumes smell like glue to me) with a hint of soap. Good thing is it’s light enough that I can’t smell it. There a hint of green floral here and there. Not my cup of tea.
Uber308 – :
There was a very fragrant climbing rose in my friend’s garden. It was a “blue” rose, which means it’s actually a deep purply color that’s sort of close to “blue.” Anyway I can’t recall what the name of this rose was, I believe it was “climbing blue moon.” This was sentimental to me because it smelled very much like that rose, which at the time had special meaning for us. I see that most people smell the musk most prominently in this- but I always smelled a strong sweet rose smell. Nothing like the “green” rose in perfumer’s workshop tea rose. This is sweet and soft – and tea rose smells quite like mosquito repellent to me.
Woughdarryl – :
I found a mini of EDP in my stuff don’t have a clue where it came from I guess I’m a little underwhelmed by AG I expected a fancier smell from all the reviews on here and QVC its just a Meh scent to me not bad but not great just okay.
513749 – :
This is a very soft scent.
It starts fresh. After a few minutes it becomes more flowery but still very soft. Then you get the musk. Everything is very subtle.
I would describe the scent in three words – innocence, purity, and virginity.
Light and comfortable.
Maybe nothing special but very clean and pretty.
It is not loud, it is not exaggerated. It’s gentle.
I would recommend this for work, a date or anytime, if you want to wear a gentle and discreet perfume.
Unfortunately …light sillage and longevity.
biv87 – :
Somehow this is a nostalgic scent… it reminds me of elementary school. It makes me think of pencil shavings ! Am I the only one that smells this ?
anni2609 – :
It smells closely to the gap fragrance near. It’s just average citrus and musk the dry down is bad.
Psychonaut – :
This smells very fresh and light. Perfect for spring and summer.
Agapelkos – :
This perfume reminds a bit of Gucci Envy, very fresh and clean. I like it a lot, but it does not really relate to glamour or something, more like inner peace.
Lleg – :
I never owned this fragrance or sampled it prior to the reformulation that reviewers are speaking of, so this review is coming from a sample after reformulation.
Johnson & Johnson baby lotion in the pink bottle! That’s all I’m getting 🙁 smells similar to Harajuku Lovers’s “Baby” also. It’s not a bad scent in the least, I enjoy the smell of baby lotion and babies in general. Personally I would not like to smell of it myself, though.
I really wish I could have smelled this before the reformulation- sounds like it was much more interesting!
artema22 – :
obsessed with this scent. At first it is a beachy clean smell but then the light citrus and gentle floral are subtle and delicate. However it is not complex or super perfumey. I personally love that it is not a powerful scent. It might only be detected in small bursts or in a hug. And I can reapply.
EVGEN90 – :
To me, this is the essence of the word “beautiful”. I love that it’s a bit shy and not too overpowering. The citrus lasts about an hour. Yet in the drydown, it develops into something even lovelier, and on me, there is great longevity. I seem to get a bit more rose than what I’m seeing from other users. Sillage is more than than I was aware of when I first began using Amazing Grace.
I have worn it quite a bit in the past few years, and whatever the weather, it seems to last on me.I spray it on the inside of my elbows and just below my neck. Of course I use the Amazing Grace body lotion as well, which is likely why I get such good longevity.
I’m not usually a person who changes fragrance with the weather, but I do like the EDP when the weather is not hot or humid. The EDT is great for me on the hot days.
I’ve had many compliments on this fragrance. It is really for me.
GerSeiple – :
Amazing Grace seems to be simple. Citrus, light florals and musk.
If I have to describe it in one word I would say: innocence. It has that “pure” and “clean” quality.
It doesn’t strike as sophisticated or complex and yet its simplicity is captivating.
I’m sure this fragrance may pass as bland and utterly uninteresting to some people, especially if you prefer exotic, avant garde and unexpected scents. But for me, Amazing Grace is a fragrance that defies all the crazy niche creations. It’s comforting, easy and beautiful.
georgekozak – :
Sweetened floral, mostly freesia anchored in a light musk. The musk is not sharp
sberbank1981 – :
This used to be my signature scent, but after the company was purchsed my Coty, it was just not the same anymore. I continue to wear it from time to time, but this perfume is a shadow of it’s former self. I used to get compliments every time I wore this, but no one ever seems to notice it anymore.
DreamButterfly32 – :
Oh, and another thing ! What’s with all the hate on this fragrance?!
Look, I don’t want to toot my horn, but I could, slightly, maybe be classified as a perfume snob, ESPECIALLY anything with white florals.
This doesn’t offend me *gasssp* it’s not too bad. I like it even more with the layer I mentioned but overall it’s nice and clean.
I enjoy smelling like I just got out of the shower. (Not sarcastic *another gasp* )
nik5909 – :
Quick tip : layer this with Molecule 01. This will catapult this fragrance into new places ! This makes it shine, makes it strong and reach its full potential.
I looove the name as well,
Amazing Grace, that save a wrench like me <3
luxema – :
This scent is lovely, clean and soft. The only problem, and it’s a big one, it does not last! Because of this I will not repurchase the perfume 🙁 However, the Amazing Grace firming body emulsion jas the same beautiful scent and the lotion feels amazing on my skin. The scent does last longer when using the lotion and I will definitely consider repurchase of the lotion for these reasons.
buzasa – :
I tried a sample of this which was a “dab” instead of a “spray” type. If I smelled this on another person, I would think it was nice (male or female). It’s so close to the way bath soap smells though (or at least used to). Kind of powdery, lightly floral, and soap-like. I would not buy this for myself. When I wear a fragrance, I like it to be more of a statement. When I want to go without a fragrance, I smell kind of like this already.
Жанна1979 – :
Smells great on a guy like me. Used to be my signature scent. Lasts all day long especially when layered with the lotion. My office mates used to compliment me a lot, saying I smell like a baby. They never said anything about me smelling “feminine”
zd all – :
This fragrance has been in my perfume rotation for about 10 years now. It’s one of those scents that you can’t quite put your finger on. It’s floral, musky, a little citrus, and very clean. But I feel that the specific combination of the notes and how they are blended make this fragrance unique in my opinion. This scent just evokes gentle and positive feelings every time I wear it. Not to mention, you can wear this at any time of day for any occasion, and anyone could pull it off. Amazing Grace is one of those scents that just smell divine on everyone, including men. I do feel that this scent can be girly, But, if a man wears this i’m sure he would get complimented on how good he smells. And I feel that’s where this scent wanted to become, not just another “fragrance” or “perfume” but a scent. When wearing this, people never ask what perfume i’m wearing, they always just comment on how good I smell. I do have to be honest though, it’s not strong and it doesn’t seem to last as long as it should for the price tag. My best advice is to layer and maybe just go for the body spray.
kaxatmotSlono – :
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this laundry detergent whatsoever. It smells fresh and clean. It does exactly what a laundry soap should; it doesn’t offend (or affect) any of my senses. Wait…is this perfume?
Update:
So the more I wear this the more I like it. It’s certainly not the most complex fragrance in the world but it definitely has a certain charm. I’ve been sleeping in it and it’s like freshly washed sheets every night.
Alekc1976 – :
I recently purchased a four pack of Philosophy fragrances and this was in it. I have water to try this for ages and never was able to find it in any of my local stores. I should also say that fresh scents are my absolute favorite type of perfume and when I started looking up top ten fresh scent perfumes and this was on that list. I have to say, I do really like it. BUT….it smells like one of those been there done that tyr scents. Its nice, retty and girly and finding it for a great price would be the only way I wpud buy a fill size bottle. Sadly it’s just not that special!
edb868Unlogrere – :
yet another phillosophy fragrance weakened when reformulated by coty.
snp084Bessinepome – :
My true thoughts about a fragrance often happen in the middle of the night, I woke up and in a half daze wondered why I could smell my friends fragrance SJP’s Lovely, lay there in the dark trying to recall what fragrance I’d worn the previous day, ah it was Amazing Grace!
Then I learnt they are both produced by Coty, I was given the bottle of AG but I wouldn’t buy as it’s a lot more expensive than Lovely.
Титов777 – :
My mother’s signature fragrance, and I absolutely love it on her! It smells sweeter on her than on me. It is a clean, innocent scent. I always think of some lovely bubble bath when I smell it.
I think she was drawn to it because she’s a nurse and it’s something she can wear to work. She says the doctors compliment her a lot on her perfume! Which makes me suspect the sillage is a little better than most people think. Longetivity is also better than this graph shows. It lingers on clothes for ages!
ewqen16101975 – :
As someone who is generally drawn to heavy scents, Amazing Grace is an outlier in my typical selection. However, there is something really charming in this fragrance that makes me really enjoy it.
It has a very fresh scent that is reminiscent of a good laundry soap. For a musky fragrance, it smells especially clean, probably due to the freesia. The jasmine and rose are present, but light. Amazing Grace stays close to the body, making it perfect for the office. It’s inoffensive and well-loved by those around me. I’m loving wearing this in the dead of summer when it’s hot outside because it feels refreshing.
It’s well blended and light, perfect if you’re looking for a quick break from the heat.
JohnLog – :
This had been my favorite perfume for a year. It’s inoffensive. Soft floral. I usually dislike citruses but this has a nice gentle top notes of citrus. It dries down to a powdery floral and musk. So gentle.
I still love it but in no longer last long on me. 🙁 I’ve been using the same bottle. I do’t know why. I don’t think I’ve reached my threshold but I no longer smell it. People around me do not smell it on me as well. Whyyyyy> :'( It was my signature scent.
Gastela81 – :
To me this is a very very soft scent. It begins a tiny bit citrucy and fresh. After a few minutes it becomes more floraly but still very soft. Then you get the musk. All very softly and pretty. It stays like that a while and then dries down to a very powdery smell with a hint of rose.
It is unnofensive unless you don’t like powdery scents. It’s sillage is very soft. After 4 hours becomes a skin scent and after 6 is gone. Its not a bad scent, it’s something you would wear when you want to wear perfume but don’t want people to really notice it. Its just there to smell good and that’s it.
I would not buy it again. I don’t really like it but I don’t dislike it either. Its just too powdery for my taste and too soft for me. Actually thats how I would describe this in one word: soft.
limonkina – :
I love the scent but it’s really weak. Gone in 15 minutes.
vladil19 – :
WHY oh WHY did they have to change this? I adored the EDP version of this fragrance. I just purchased a new bottle after finishing my old one off. IT’S horrible, just horrible. Don’t bother wasting your time or hard earned money on this cheap reformulation. I’ve literally had to mourn the passing of my old bottle of Amazing Grace. Thanks for nothing Philosophy.
іван – :
I love this. Scents trigger my migraines, so I have to be very careful,but this is perfect. Very soft. It doesn’t follow me through a room or slap everyone else in the face with the smell. It’s also good for me personally because I am a massage therapist, and strong scents can bother my clients.
dmitrik94 – :
I expected to like this — I really enjoy other Philosophy fragrances (Falling in Love, Unconditional Love, Fresh Cream), and I also love a good, clean, floral scent. But boy, howdy, I sure do dislike Amazing Grace. The floral notes are very antiseptic, and it has a powdery dry down that makes the whole concoction smell like someone just cleaned the nursery. I don’t think I could even use this as an air freshener.
Frost683 – :
Well, Amazing Grace is a breeze of fresh air. Very unoffensive, clean like pure water. This is a mild, beautiful floral scent. Its like 11 am in a warm morning on a working day, when you go to your home because you got a holiday, the silent breeze, fluttering leaves, its all about serenity.
Freesia is the prominent note in this perfume. It makes men lean towards you with that positive vibe, you are an angel here, not the seductive siren Hypnotic Poison, nor the vixen Cacharel Loulou.
Men wants to stay closer to you when you stand near them in this perfume. This is absolutely inoffensive, pure, elegant and ultra clean. This has that “shower freshness”.
So, if you are looking for a perfect clean and clear, elegant, graceful, composed, unoffensive floral, this is it. Go for it!!
AKMAK – :
I do not usually repurchase a scent, but this one is my second bottle. I don’t really ever get complimented on my perfumes either and this is one of them I do. This is a safe, clean, fresh, loving hug…will always have this in my collection.
alevs62 – :
I’m not a fan of this. Did a blind buy because of the popularity and reviews. Hubs said I smelled like Aunt Nancy, and she may actually wear this but I haven’t asked. Smell faded after 4 hours. I found it to be a floral musky scent and not something I associate with “clean” fragrances. This review is for the original formulation.
jahrouttoft – :
Smells like you’re fresh out the shower and rubbed on some sunscreen. I actually kind of enjoy it. It’s a sunny beach day in a bottle!
anod07 – :
For some reason this reminds me of trips to the zoo. It has a musty floral thing going on which makes me think of the smell of all the animals floating in the air and the sunscreen mixing with the plants growing everywhere. Sounds weird right? I really like it, it brings back good memories of summer and family vacations.
893834546 – :
I decided to spritz this on today from a bottle that is around 12 years old. Tried to date it but the code comes up as an error. The label on the bottom has a copyright of 2004.
This has been sitting unused for many years but thought it might be interesting to try on again. It was a go-to for me once-upon-a-time. It’s a 2oz bottle with just about 1/3 left.
I think this has turned a bit. On first spritz the overwhelming scent is alcohol and it wanted to hang on. I’d say a good 30 seconds in before the alcohol burned off. I don’t remember this being a “thing” before.
But what is really standing out is an underlying scent of something industrial. Like motor oil, maybe. Again, this is not something I remember from years ago.
I really do think something in this bottle has turned and it’s just not quite right anymore. I do have a small bottle of this and a roll-on oil. Will have to try those out and see if they produce the same results. It could very well be that my chemistry has changed and Amazing Grace and I don’t work so well together, these days.
I am still a fan of AG body wash and get the jumbo-sized bottle of it once or twice a year. It’s pretty and light and soapy-clean smelling.
I’ll update later when I try out the other AGs I have in my stash.
Kylie_fromAD – :
A clean-white T-shirt hanging from old-fashioned wooden clothes hooks on a line under the summer sun. Opens with fresh, juicy citrus, followed by sweet, clean white flowers and rose, finished up with a generous dose of soapy laundry musk.
The bergamot at the beginning is notable and pleasingly zingy, not hushed or sugared; it’s followed by noticeable sweet freesia (anyone else remember that one Bath and Body Works freesia? Just like that) – and ends up in the door of the laundromat, with the summer air still flowing through. It lasted four hours, then slipped away without a trace.
It’s reminiscent to me of the Clean line of fragrances, as well as of J Lo Glow and Tommy Girl. Soft, fresh, musky, a little citrusy, a little rosy. Amazing Grace strikes me as a breath of sweet breeze, ephemeral, then gone. Easy to wear anytime, easy to like, easily slips away like it was never even there.
keptnaine – :
Leaving a review for both “Amazing Grace” and “Live Joyously” (which isn’t in the database)
I’m not even going to go into detail with the notes. All I can say about these two is: BASIC and BORING
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a terrible scent, but neither one does a thing for me. With both, I feel like it’s “Been there, Done that.”
Clean, fresh, light florals. Nothing special. In my opinion, they’re actally “Too Clean” I totally get the
“dryer sheets” vibe.
Passing my samples along. Not a fan.
якубов – :
If we could use the term “starter” scent, this should be under the definition and close to the top of the list. Safe, un-offensive, something for the masses, enjoyed it.
oksa – :
this is very clean soapy scent that its so light that you can barely smell it. This is for people who don’t like perfume(at least in my opinion).
There is no lasting power here at all. It disappears in no time.
If you want clean soapy scent that last, get Casual by Paul Sebastian. You can find it for a song online. It last very long time.
Amazing grace is definitely NOT Amazing to me.
oprmininew – :
What a lovely scent! Very clean, fresh and light. Great scent for the office if you work in close quarters or where your co-workers may have allergies. I especially enjoy the positive message behind this scent. This one is a winner and very likable.
Pure. Clean. Graceful.
frizman1979 – :
A clean, fresh scent when I just want to wear something that isn’t overpowering. It’s calm and airy, and yes, does remind me of dryer sheets. But for some, fresh laundry is a warm, relaxing, good feeling. It’s seasonless and can be worn anywhere without offending anyone. Definitely a skin-scent, Amazing Grace has its purpose in the world of perfumes. For those who want to wear perfumes but can’t overload those around them, or for those who might be ill and can’t stomach over-bearing scents that are too brash, too cloying or just too opulent for the moment, Amazing Grace serves its purpose. A little bit of citrus, a hint of tea, a tad of pepper all wrapped in a gentle musk that sits close to the skin for a few hours. Nothing spectacular, just gently fresh, clean and pretty. Kind of like “the girl next door”.Amazing Grace does its job well. It’s not loud, it’s not over-bearing. It’s gentle.
erh424bedyWelty – :
Used to love this, but the new version is terrible! Same with Pure Grace. Coty, what have you done?! Doesn’t smell the same and lasts a mere 30 minutes. Back to the store it went. Do you even remotely care about the opinions of your long-standing customers? All the recent reviews on your website of your fragrance reformulations are ridden with complaints, and not a single response (that I know of)…
Sorry, no more complaining.
Needless to say, I’m done with Philosophy fragrances unless they change it back.
Normal.fuck – :
I’m a nurse and love this for work- this and pure grace have gotten me more compliments FROM PATIENTS, than anything else. That being said, I’m sometimes confused by the “people who like, may also like” column that I see on the website. This one is listed with Hypnotic Poison and Viva La Juicy- two perfumes I love but would never wear to work, kinda hard for blind buys…..
Edit: so I just recently bought my yearly set from QVC of this, and Coty has done another hatchet job on a well liked perfume. I’ve worn this for about ten years and have probably received the most compliments on this perfume. Now I’m debating finding another similar one to take its place. Longevity is now poor, silage dismal and I smell too much alcohol. Go look on the QVC forums to read about the new vs. old after Coty bought out Philosophy.
Thixarimi – :
I received this as a gift a few years ago. While I didn’t like it at first, the scent grew on me. I received the body wash of this scent with my gift as well. I’m glad I did, because it helped me ween myself into wearing the fragrance. I don’t sense any of the top notes unfortunately, but sense the clean, white floral scent. While I enjoy this scent, I don’t think I’ll replace the bottle when I run out as there are other fragrances I’d rather wear. However, if you’re a lover of light, soft, white floral scents, this is for you!
marinaz1989 – :
Very fresh scent, but a bit too much of a cleaning supplies smell. I guess it’s the very acidic smelly citrus, like graprfruit/orange/lime mixed with some flowers (rose? freesia?) It’s an everyday scent that isn’t too overly sexy or nighttime, and I would feel comfortable wearing it to work, or to run errands… but it doesn’t grab me. I don’t love it.
Temosha30111988 – :
Very lovely fragrance, but what happened ? I had this perfume years ago and bought a new bottle this week, looks like the staying power is almost zero. Dissapears after 45 minutes. Such a pity.

When this fragrance first came out on QVC is when I tried it and fell in love, I went through 3 bottles in a row. Then I took a break, when I came back to it it was different, not the same as before, nothing was said about a reformulat ion. Now so many older women are wearing it (I’m thinking QVC junkies) they spray it so heavy I can smell it a mile away, all I can say is ladies back off with the spritzes, maybe 2or 3 will do it, not 15 it smells horrible!!!! Now I’ll get down from my soapbox.

Amazing Grace (AG)reminds of a weaker version of the later Chloe, Chloe (edt) but yet at a fraction of the cost. Have never tested AG or other Philosophy scents before but couldn’t help but fall in love with this one as I walked away after having sampling several other brands and fragrances.
Amazing Grace is a nice scent to wear around family of all ages, co-workers and for traveling especially globally. BTW: Have found most men to appreciate the smell of clean. Love, love, love this fresh, soapy rose with a hint of musk, “Come to Momma” kind of scent. On my skin, this has some staying power too.

I tried this at Sephora today. It smelled clean but in an I just cleaned my bathroom kind of way. It smells like a cleaning supply to me. I didn’t smell flowers, just cleanliness. This is hard to describe. It didn’t smell like perfume to me.

So I tried it at Dillard’s then at Ulta. However at Ulta there were two Amazing Grace bottles, one had a white sticker and smelled like the one at Dillard’s: soapy, quite strong. And the other bottle’s sticker was pink and smelled lighter(better) than the other bottle. So.. are there two different ones? Maybe EDT and EDP? Regardless, I love unusual scents and this reminds me of clean cotton sheets at an expensive hotel and shiny bathrooms with light blue and cotton flower blue tile, all of that located at the beach. There’s something summery in this scent, something from the sea too.
