So, the body wash itself is fine. It is non-drying and rinses well. What was disappointing was the scent. There is no birthday cake at all It is sort of a nondescript vanilla scent. Meh!

I was so disappointed by this. This doesn't smell like birthday cake, it smells like plastic. The scent is gone as soon as you rinse. The only pro is that it removes deodorant really well but other th...Read more

I am absolutely loving this new soap from philosophy! I probably use it every night for both shower and baths, the aroma of it is wonderful and not too potent leaves a nice scent after use. It's not t...Read more

Does not feel like a bath product. Feels like lollipop residue. Sticky, does not lather easily, DOES NOT BUBBLE BATH (it's like sticking dirty lollipop at the bottom of your bath, how great!). And the...Read more

I have to agree with others here when they say that this just didn't deliver what they expected it to. There's no denying this is moisturising when used as a shower gel (although I can't comment on i...Read more

A bad product that I got from Sephora for free for my birthday last year. It doesn't smell good and doesn't lather well. I hate it. It must be a mistake.

I rated this product a 3/5 because it is "just okay". The scent is a bit plastic-y, and doesn't really remind me of a Vanilla Birthday Cake, but more of a cheap vanilla-scented wash. It's not terrible...Read more
