Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

philosophy Boughs of Holly 3-in-1 Gel and philosophy Sparkling Cranberry 3-in-1 Gel (each $22.00 for 24 fl. oz.) are super-sized, holiday-themed scents in philosophy’s 3-in-1 formula (shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath). I am a long-time fan of philosophy’s 3-in-1, and there’s always at least one scent in our shower. We really try to finish one before opening another, but it can take months to get through a regular-sized bottle (16 fl. oz.)! ย Both of these holiday scents come in decorative heavy-duty cardboardย cylinders–perfect for giving.

Boughs of Holly smells like crisp berries, a little greenery, and a touch of spice. It’s lightly sweetened, and the predominantly scent is berries/fruit.ย Sparklingย Cranberry smells exactly as it is named; there’s the fizzy, bubbly soda scent along with the sweet-and-tart scent of cranberries. ย Both are red with glitter in them, thoughย Boughs of Holly is a deeper red. ย The scents do not linger beyond the shower, which you may love or you might prefer a lingering scent, but it will be aromatic while you use it and as you shower/bathe.

I like the formula best as a shower gel and bubble bath, as it does both well, and as a shampoo, it cleans, but I think if you have hair that is at all picky or particular about its products, you’ll want to stick to your regular products. ย It has an excellent lather, slips and slides across the skin well, and never leaves my skin feeling dry.

I usually like Philosophy scents esp. their red velvet cake, but it has always bugged me that the scents don’t linger. For that reason I don’t feel like they’re worth the price. I’d rather spend my money on makeup anyway.:D

I love the shimmery colors of both of these though!

Sometimes I like those kinds of scents sometimes I like other scents, or no scent at all. I drive my SO crazy by having 4-5 open body wash bottles open in the shower. LOL!
