Field of Flowers

Let me start by saying until now, I have not been into florals before this I was mainly a vanilla/sweet borderline cloying scents, The only reason I bought it was because every time I saw it at tjmaxx it made me think of Howls Moving Castle and after about 2 weeks off blowing it off and still having no luck finding a signature spring/summer perfume I finally bought it. If your a fan of Howls Moving Castle, this to me is what the scene were they’re in the field of flowers would smell like and sometimes I feel like it smells like what the bathroom steam would smell like when Howls done taking his 2 hour baths xD. I work at a daycare and I feel it’s perfect for me for everyday. There’s a bit of silage but it’s not overwhelming. Iv not gotten any complaints or compliments and that’s fine with me. Iv been wearing everyday for about a week now and already bought a backup because I know I can’t be without it especially for the spring/summer.

This is a light, pretty, refreshing peony and honeysuckle fragrance. It's a great choice for an inexpensive summer spritz (in fact, I prefer the body spritz to the edt). The lasting power is excellent. Field of Flowers isn't groundbreaking, or original, but it's lovely, and flowery, and cheap. It beats the caps off the majority of Bath and Body Works aromas, and it's uplifting, yet subtle. None of your co-workers is going to keel over if they manage to get a whiff of Field of Flowers, and it's highly unlikely that even those "allergic-to-everything-including-air-and-water" types will complain about this one.

I am finding this much stronger than people normally rate Philosophy scents—I don’t own any others—and am loving the longevity and the peony I smell. What a find, especially seeing that it was marked down even more than standard at TJ Maxx. It’s a lovely bottle, too. I feel enveloped in spring blooms and am very happy about it. I like this fragrance better than many perfumes for which I paid over $100 dollars. Delicious.

very clean and soft flowers,like lake and green grass and wild flowers.a little bit too young for me-42- but i think perfect for summer.it reminds me usher ur for women,i smell peach flowers??,not longlasting but lovely.

very pretty white floral scent for the price!! the additional green notes add to the feeling of walking through a field of flowers with grass and all. only complaint is that the longevity is terrible :(

I love it! It reminds me of my childhood and the perfumes I would wear when I was a little girl in the 80s. Very nostalgic.

This really does smell like a field of flowers, dirt and all =) That's why I like it. It's poetic, to me.

I have many Philosophy fragrances including this one. I love all the ones I own. They are such an affordable, quality brand. All the ones I own have good to better sillage and longevity. Application in the AM for me will last an entire work day. If going out for the evening I might reapply, but it woukdnt be necessary. Field of Flowers is fresh and pretty. It smells of pure flowers. No wood, grasses or foods. I would not use the word 'soft' to describe her, but gentle. 'Soft' indicates to me, powdery or light in weight. FoF is not a heavy perfume, but it definitely has presence. The scent smells the same from application to dry down, which is fine for me. Not every perfume I own needs to evolve. FoF is great for a younger female, but don't be surprised if older females who have access to your collection borrow it. It is a great every day fragrance. It will be noticed, but not introduce itself before you do. I know a lot of women who have jobs where they are in close contact with clients and they prefer Philosophy as their perfumes aren't overpowering. I wear FoF in all seasons except winter (US/Midwest) unless I'm trying to give myself a reminder of what I have to look forward to in the Spring while I endure the long miserable winters where I live. FoF gets 4/4 stars from me.

If you enjoy slightly creamy bright white clean florals this one might be singing your name. It’s gentle and linear but over spraying it can make it screech. The initial spray stings my nose a bit with a sharp lily of the valley/ white lilac kinda combo. Maybe a very tight jasmine? It’s strong and sharp... wait. It softens a bit. The peony is very young & takes its time coming through. The “green notes” only seem to be hints to me- like they’re only there to keep a bit of the sharp freshness. I don’t get the honeysuckle kinda vibe here- that, to me, implies a warmer honeyed layer that I’m not catching. I find a lot of Philosophy’s offerings to be a bit too clean for me- I’m happy to say that this doesn’t share that trait all the way. Admittedly, I wish it lasted longer than it does. It reminds me a little of Crabtree & Evelyn’s Summer Hill- like an overly cleaned version or a much younger relative. There are no woods or spice to be found- it’s very clean. This is a simple bright field of mostly white flowers. Very simple, maybe a little sharp- especially if sprayed too close or over-sprayed- easy to layer with simple bases. Nice when it’s warmed with some amber. Definitely creamier on fabrics than on my skin.

The Peony bursts thru incredibly strong for the first 20 minutes. After the dry down this mellows out into a lovely Micheal Kors-esq creamy tuberose white flower extravaganza. On its own the sillage and longevity is poor, but layered over the lotion and / or Shower-gel it can last the day. It is a bright spring day scent that should bring a smile to even the most jaded among us. Caution if you are allergic to pollen- the scent is so realistic it makes me think I need to take an Allegra. Luckily, no runny nose or watery eyes occur, but it is a very realistic and lifelike scent. No artificial or plastic notes here.

My first review...this seems as good a place to start as any. I love this fragrance, it's so peaceful and calming to me. I get really bright peony (I think) at first, then it settles down to a creamy tuberose, but whatever the "green" note is keeps it super fresh and light. The whole effect is spring-y, fresh, and happy! I especially like this for daytime when I'm going to be outside in warm weather--it's not too much and makes me feel fresh and feminine. It doesn't last a long time on skin, but does seem to stick to my clothing.

I blind bought this and it arrived yesterday. I’m slightly confused by it. I mean it isn’t a field of flowers, it smells like one particular flower and I can’t think of exactly what it is but it’s definitely not a perfume smell, room spray or linen spray sure but not perfume. I was really hoping I would love this, and maybe it will change a bit more over time but so far it’s just BAM in your face. I’ll report back if it changes!

it's a generic white floral (I would even say a little loud) with some pretty heavy green notes- singular and doesn't last very long was a little sharp on me and gave me a bit of a headache

Quite glad I blind-bought this actually, it has a fresh rainy day vibe that's perfect for those slightly chilly April-May days.

This is straight Dove bar soap.

I swear this smells so similar to Moon Carnival by Vilhelm! The florals in this really give off a sweet heavy tuberose scent with some lilacs hanging around. I would say that this perfume is more effervescent smelling than Moon Carnival, which is smoother and more creamy. This perfume evokes such happiness and nostalgia for me. I remember I bought this for my aunt as a present without first smelling it (the box and name called my attention) she sprayed it and I remember thinking, "Wow, how beautiful! It smells like the most magical flower field you could think of." I never forgot it. Just beautiful! It does smell like photorealistic flowers, so the name is spot on. The flowers have this bubbly quality to them, which really makes it feel like they are drifting on the wind all around you. I love it, and I got it for a steal on EBAY!

I agree with both reviews below. Field Of Flowers DOES beat out alot of BBW's latest offerings, (although through the years there have been some lovely ones,) and YES! It does smell just like its name. This simple yet magical scent has the ablity to stimulate the imagination. (It smells that much like the real thing!) while the company claims that "Field of Flowers" is prominent peony, (and probably it is, if they say so,) To me, it smells more like a generous mixture of freshly bloomed, earthy, stemy wild flowers bursting with fragrance from the warmth of the summer sun. Simple, lovely, magical!

Towards the bottom of the front of the box it now says “peony blossom”. But I don’t smell peony in this, I smell tuberose. I agree with AngelaAngela, this is a quieter Michael Kors. The bottle is opaque white glass with multi-colored wildflowers on the label, but it definitely smells like a field of all white flowers. It is sweet and has a cloying tendency if oversprayed.

Got this as a blind purchase on auction, with the lotion. Love the Philosophy products, and especially this one. It is softly present, clean and feminine. Can wear this anytime. Have layered with my R&G Blue Carnation and they go well together.
