The gel lathers really well and surrounds you with the cinnamon scent and is just a pleasure to use. It lathered up pretty well and also created a decent amount of bubbles, though not as much as the cheap children's bubble bath I usually use. I received some of these shower gels as a gift some time ago, and since then I have been on a mission to try more of the delightful scents. I haven't found it as effective as a shampoo, as I don't wash my hair everyday, so it is probably a little too gentle to be used on the regular.

the philosophy cinnamon buns shower gel with it's moisturising formula cleanses and conditions for skin and hair that feels ultra soft.

I have to say the gel actually looks a lot like the frosting spread on the buns (yes I am obsessed with those buns! I also decant this gel into a hand washing pump and have it on the side of the bathroom and kitchen, and that way I get to experience the cinnamon smell yet again! I really wish that Philosophy would make a perfume in this scent, as I'd wear it all throughout winter!

the scent lingers on the body for a short time after the shower, but it has a great feel and leaves no greasy/oily film afterwards. I have to say something about the packaging - I love Philosophy's little recipes printed on their bottles and this one is no exception. In the shower, I apply a dime size of "Cinnamon buns" to a loofah and get a lather that can be used to wash my whole body.Best of all you don't need very much whichever way you use it, as it is a high quality product and a little goes a long way. As a bubble bath, the bubbles don't reach anything higher than a fizz, and they dissipate almost instantly, so I definitely don't recommend it for that purpose. The gel lathers really well as a body wash, and works okay as a shampoo (I do find that my roots get oilier a little quicker than usual with continual use - but using it here or there doesn't seem to cause this issue). Unfortunately, the smell can only be enjoyed in the shower and doesn't stay on the skin after rinsing.
