Falling in Love

I absolutely love this and first bought it when it first came out over in the UK (about 10 years ago)and it was my favourite Philosophy perfume (I have used them all). Then about 5 years ago it disappeared and I was told it had been discontinued and was gutted and so bought the Unconditional love instead BUT it didn't have the same impact or vavavoom (I was forever being told with Falling in Love how great I smelled by men Lol) I also bought both versions of Trish McAvoy no9 (the original & sexy) as it smelt so similar to Philosophy Falling in love but was over twice the price (BUT you can't put a price on smelling good and receiving compliments Lol) and so whenever it was available to purchase on ebay I would buy some (as long as it wasn't a ridiculous price) BUT now it is once again available to buy on QVCUK and they have the EDP and in the 120ml size so I made sure I bought 2 of them (which also came with the full size body butter and shower gel) at a fantastic price of £35 for all 3 items. So once again I am really happy and can spray away and smell like tooty fruity sweets and getting nice compliments again because it smells so unique (blackberry fragrances are hard to find in the UK)So once again I am really happy that Philosophy listened to the customers and brought this back (I don't know if it was discontinued in the USA?) AND they have also now brought out the EDP (which lasts twice as long as the old EDT) Luckily fragrances seem to last on me anyway so even with the EDT I could still smell it hours afterwards especially if I layered it BUT I must admit Philosophy Fragrances do not last as long as other brands but they still have quite a good staying power. If you love fruity fragrances that are not sickly and/or smell cheap and love blackberry then this is definitely one for you and if you like compliments from wearing perfume this is also the one for you (you will probably find it is the men that compliment you more when you wear this fragrance Lol men seem to love fragrances that have a sweet almost food/sweet fragrance smell??? This fragrance isn't offensive, overpowering or headache inducing either. It is just a fragrance the smells great, sexy but cute, sweet, subtle, different and just has that certain something that you can't put your finger on and works day or night and in the office or on a date. Do you think I might just like this a little???? Lol x

As one who has always enjoyed the heavier fragrances, turning to Philosophy's line was surprising for me. Recently I was in the market for lighter perfumes that still packed a punch for my olfactory senses(as a teen I wore Tabu & Shalimar), so finding light yet strong was going to be difficult. I'd been ill for quite some time and needed different venues than I'd customarily worn. I'd always heard about nurses wearing the Philosophy line so I thought now was the time to try it. I'd actually become quite enamored of Falling In Love after trying it. This is a feminine comfort perfume,all snuggly and perfect for rainy, gray days. It's a beautiful musky-vanilla, with dollops of bitter berries that are just slightly sour. That might sound off-putting, but the sourness keeps Falling In Love from becoming too sweet or cloying and gives it an unusual edge instead. Sometimes you just don't want or need any candy, because you just can't handle it. This is a bit of a fun and playful perfume with a slight effervescence to it to lift your spirits. All the components are there for exhilaration. It's seasonless, too. Four sprays lasts for a few hours within a close range so it's not a sillage monster nor is it a skin scent, either. If you're looking for a quieter scent in the musky-vanilla, sour berry range, you've found it. I did sample Falling In Love first, but honestly, I returned and bought a bottle soon after. That's how much I enjoyed this fragrance. For some reason it stayed on my mind, and that says a lot to me.

This is so nice! I've probably gotten a reformulated bottle but it would be great to wear to bed or as a pick me up. A fragrance I immediately thought to compare this to was sweet like candy by ariana grande. They don't smell exactly alike but the blackberry and jasmine in both are very similar. This seems like a lighter version of sweet like candy. I have to say though,.. I can understand why people are mad about the reformulated bottle. Apparently this was warmer and more vanilla scented before and I would have loved to smell that because I already like it so much. I got the edp. Not sure how different it is from the edt but I like the scent rn as is. I feel like I could wear this anytime especially for summer/fall nights . I probably missed out on something so wonderful before they changed it but oh well, its still very beautiful :,) Also.. this is a really great cuddle fragrance! This is a repurchase! The thing about it is that its light enough to wear all the time without giving me a headache. I own a lot of fragrances and as much as I love them a lot of them give me a headache. If it was stronger I probably would like it more BUT it probably would give me a slight headache, because its so light I can enjoy it all the time without the fear of a migraine! No matter how much I love a perfume, if its too strong I cant wear it all the time. This is a good in between. Someone below described this as ethereal... spot on!

Tried this out today because I'm a sucker for anything to do with Falling In Love! Plus Valentine's Day is in two days. It smelled very "clean" and "feminine" and "fun" at first, but the candylike onset went slightly tart/musky. Now I think I'm feeling much like a berry blast cool-aid drink, maybe with a tad of white jasmine and "white musk" aka non offensive synthesized musk. What started off fun and pritti has now morphed into something so unoffensive and sugary like a drugstore candy-scented candle from the 1970's (think Village pear and rose soaps and lotions with a solid blast of musk lotion or vanilla soap from the person next to you using those testers). No lasting power except to annoy/itch your throat/induce a headache, I would actually not bother unless you HAVE to have a very precise scent and this is it. I love reading reviews saying this or that fragrance is a masterpiece when I DON'T agree, and I see a justification that makes me believe maybe I misjudged it. I don't really think anyone will say that Philosophy Falling In Love is a masterpiece by any means.

I blind bought this scent after seeing the box at TJ Maxx. I usually love Philosophy scents, so I bought without ever looking at the notes, and I'm so glad I did. If you like a sweet berry scent, this one is for you. Falling In Love captures the sweetness and flavor of the scent of blackberries, while leaving out a lot of the tartness. They do this by pairing it with a creamy, almost lactonic vanilla, that is incredibly sweet. The florals come along and help to cut the sweetness, and in combination with the musk, make this scent a sort of second-skin scent. It is divine when worn by itself, but the lasting power and silage are not great. It sits close to the skin and is intimate, I tend to prefer scents that stick out a bit more. It lasts 2-3 hours on me if I overspray, so I usually pair this one with a blackberry sage essential oil to help make it last longer. It helps a bit, but is still not great.
