I am a fragrance fanatic. You would not believe how many fragrances - from fresh and clean to fruity and foody to complex - that I have. I think how you smell actually tells a person a lot about you. I choose my fragrances based on my moods and the situation.
I enjoy Philosophy's fragrances as a rule and have them all. Philosophy Falling In Love Spray Cologne 2 oz is nice but is by no means my favorite. It seems to lack that certain something that I can point out and say, "That's the mood they were going for."
Although this seems like a sexy scent, it really isn't.
The Product
This two ounce clear bottle of spray spritzes on fresh and smells almost like a cake or something in that family. It is a light scent and not overpowering. It is warm and comforting and maybe even a bit nostalgic. I liked it when I first tried it but my husband said I smelled like a blueberry muffin. That wasn't a BAD thing but I was going for a different mood at the time and a fragrance like "Falling in Love" didn't conjure up blueberry muffins in my mind.
My Use
Despite this not being a seductive fragrance, it is still a comforting one. Women often remark that they wear it at home when they are alone because they love the scent but their significant others aren't overwhelmed with it. The ingredients give nothing away: SD Alcohol 40B, Water (aqua), Fragrance, Sodium Benzotriazoyl butyphenol sulfonate, Buteth 3, Tributyl Citrate, Blue 1, Red 33 but I can detect a hint of berry, musk, sandalwood, and a cake! Imagine that!
Actually, I do like this fragrance and I do wear it. I think it is a great comforting scent and light enough for summer or winter use. However, because it isn't alcohol based, it wears off quickly as do all Philosophy's fragrances. I suggest buying some layering items (Lotion, body wash, etc) to help lengthen the time the scent lasts on your skin.
Conclusion
This is a nice fragrance but not my favorite from Philosophy and it wears off in under a half an hour! That's crazy.
I give it 3 stars and recommend that you try it for yourself. Everyone has different senses of smell and different scent preferences. This one is not offensive in the least and is light enough for even those sensitive to fragrances to wear.
