Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Review

When I placed my last Sephora order, I decided to treat myself and buy a couple of new shower gels, including The Gingerbread Man.  With the Christmas season approaching, I thought it would be fun to use a gingerbread-scented bath product.  Unfortunately, I didn't really get what I was expecting.

philosophy The Gingerbread Man is one of the company's combination products that can be used as shower gel, and/or bubble bath.  Because the name of this stuff is The Gingerbread Man, I expected it to smell like, well, gingerbread! Instead, for some bizarre reason, philosophy has given this product a ginger ale fragrance.  I honestly don't understand the presto-change-o scent switch-up. 

A little goes a long way with this stuff so at $16 per 16 fluid ounce bottle lasts for a very long time which makes the price easier to handle.  The Gingerbread Man produces lots of bubbles and lather which makes it an excellent shower gel and bubble bath.  philosophy used to sell this kind of product as a 3-in-1 that could also be used as a shampoo, but none of them ever really worked well as shampoo so they seem to have taken that off of the label. 

As a shower/bath product, philosophy The Gingerbread Man Foaming Bubble Bath and Shower Gel is great and something I would use again.  Unfortunately, I think the name is completely misleading and probably has caused disappointment in more than just this one customer.  Ginger ale is a nice enough fragrance, but it is nothing at all like a gingerbread one.  Don't buy this one if you are hoping for a yummy gingerbread cookie scent.
