I remember having a mini version of this in high school. I loved the scent so much! I would love to get my hands on it again. If anyone would like to swap, PM me!
arorormouct – :
This kind of reminds me of sweet tarts. This scent can sometimes annoy me and apply very sour, like rotten berries. But then other times I’ll get whiffs that are warm and sweet, so it’s confusing. I have a love/hate relationship with this perfume but I’d say if you’re looking for something that smells youthful and fruity out of the Philosophy line, try this. It’s not long lasting but if you want a light, fruity and fresh scent for spring/summer then try this out.
wmalabala – :
Blackberry and Vanilla with some dirty musk.
rjurikovich – :
Sweet, clean, cool, and slightly gourmand. A nice, inoffensive scent appropriate for most of the year.
LEONKNYAZ – :
This does not smell like candy floss! But it does smell like candy. It smells like blackberry and strawberry candy and I LOVE it! Its a very girly smell. Although it is girly i feel it can be used by anyone because it is very soft and not strong smelling. Beautiful sweet and clean smell. I am a mom and I love to wear this around my kids because it is so soft and sweet (kids love sweet smells you know:-)

I found the 4 oz. bottle in the clearance section of Winners for $25. For that amount of product, and knowing how much it would cost me at a Sephora, I’d thought I’d give it a try. If I didn’t like it, I’m sure I could have found someone in my friend/family-circle that could give it a home. I was pleasantly surprised! Right off, heavy on the blackberry, VERY fruity. I generally avoid fruity/gourmand scents but my nose likes this one. It’s longevity could be better. If I’m looking for a light, summer-appropriate scent to throw on for a quick errand, this is the one I grab. The Falling In Love Summer version is similar (and my preference between the two), more musky, and way less fruity.
zykova.z – :
Should be called Falling In Love….With Sugar! This is VERY sweet, sweeter than I expected and very sugary. Almost smells like a Victoria’s Secret or an Acqualina fragrance, not the clean, minimal scents that I’m used to seeing from Philosophy. I’m a big fan of their Grace line, and this is fine, it’s nice-but it’s super sugary and not really my vibe. A great perfume for a young girl starting to wear fragrance or for anybody who like Pink Sugar!
star1987 – :
Loved this until Coty took over and ruined the formula. The current formulation is far weaker, so more is needed, it also has less longevity, but worst of all, even if using more in quantity to compensate for the seemingly diluted formulations, it still isn’t as rich – not just intensity but in quality- it’s just more thin, shallow and less complex or delicious. Oh well.
hostersposters – :
I love the smell of this. It just smells “clean”, like I just got out of the shower. Maybe a little soapy?
vrtudmCsecf – :
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
Lelozopy – :
I loved this years ago and rediscovered it a year ago. I cannot stay away! I love the sweetness of the berries. I mix a tiny bit of Demeter’s Amber scent to add a tiny bit more warmth and make my perfect signature scent. I cannot resist smelling myself when I’m wearing this. I am “in love” with it! Never will be without this one. Have a backup of this and will never be without it. My LOVE.
Bisnessad – :
A very sweet and refreshing fragrance! I hardly wear mine however, so I’m hoping to give it to someone who will love it. It’s brand new, sprayed probably 3 times, no box, looking to swap! Look in my “want” section.
Kordevoj – :
Theres a wierd sour note in here that doesnt jive with me. Not sure what that was all about.
Overius – :
I love this fragrance. It takes me to a feeling that is easy going and happy go lucky, but also calming and mellow (and not in a bad way) simply something that lifts your spirits but is kind of soothing at the same time. It’s a great every day scent and the blackberry is as good as that in the much more expensive Mure et Musc and not cheap or flat like that in McEvoy’s.
This makes me think of breezy autumn or winter days, chilling out, going skateboarding, wandering or easily just doing chores or going on a date… it could easily be a signature too. I really love it. I should note that the vanilla is excellent also – very subtle and musky but in no way overpowering as either of those notes could go.
Also, there is a “mealy” character to FIL – I have only ever noticed this in the cuddly and wonderful L’aimant by Coty and it really makes a fragrance cosy and simply womanly… in a sweet and wholesome kind of way. This is a perfume that like Coty on my beautiful Mother, melds into the skin and really becomes a part of someone. I’m thinking this is going to be my go to perfume daily as Spring Flower by Creed is just so expensive and I might use that a bit more sparingly than I have been. This stands on its own and is lovely in its own right.
Himiencanda – :
I’m rather fond of this perfume, having worn it in highschool. I could smell it and recognize it immediately on anyone. I love that the vanilla doesn’t overpower the blackberry. It’s a light, effervescent, ethereal scent that instantly lifts my mood when I smell it.
Flertoomo – :
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.
uriyzat – :
Too light these days but still prob my favorite, along with Missions. It’s delicious and I adore the name. Similar to the Trish McEvoy 9, but not at all a dupe. FIL is far more vanilla, and frankly a thousand times better. Trish is very green and sour and tart and more like cotton candy whereas FIL is more like a blackberry pie or milkshake. Just wish it lasted. Coty destroyed this once beautiful (and strong!) scent when they took over and turned it into water with the faintest hint of scent. Combining with the scented body butter if you can find it or lotion helps.
vtntjh590 – :
Love the smell of the firming lotion because of the extra dose of vanilla. It’s a pick me up in the morning after showering. When I first bought the lotion the scent seemed odd – but it grew on me quickly and I had to own the perfume. The EDT is muskier with a little more citrus. It’s a dupe for Trish McEvoy’s No.9. I have both and find No.9 to be my favourite of the two due to the vanilla in the dry down – but FIL is half the price.
This scent is so fresh. I always enjoy wearing it. Light and lovely. I find FIL, Unconditional Love, and Trish McEvoy’s No.9 to be perfect for work and running errands. I just wish all of them had more sillage and longevity. FIL and UL disappear within half an hour. No.9 stays much longer if you’re generous with application. Spraying on clothes helps for all three.
SEXIboi – :
This is a good summer fragrance. It is light and it is okay to wear into the office daily.
Spapawaimifex – :
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.
jmurik81 – :
It’s okay…but too sweet and not too interesting. Not much depth. Uncomplicated. ….not cloying….but boring.
AnnaSirovase – :
I don’t find anything necessarily remarkable about this scent, but it is lovely in its own way. It’s warm and delicate. It has a nice vanilla and berry scent to it, without being too young. It has a subtle sweetness and has been a nice addition to my perfumes adding some variety.
Schokk – :
I purchased this yesterday at Sephora, they had a 0.5 oz bottle of it near the checkout. I smelled it and instantly it just comforts me. I used to wear this in middle school, and early high school. Definitely one of my first “real” perfumes. It’s a sweet, juicy, berry scent, that isn’t immature, or over powering. It’s incredibly soft. I love it for those days when I don’t really feel like wearing any perfume at all. It’s a very relaxing smell to me. Beautiful.
shurpo – :
A creamy vanilla blackberry dessert scent! It layers really well with Philosophy Fresh Cream—my latest obsession.
Jara7283 – :
Pink Sugar with added blackberry.
Or, a sheerer (summer?) version of Angel that steers towards blackberry, instead of chocolate.
Falling in Love is like a Jo Malone cologne – clean, pleasant, fleeting. I’m interested to see how this compares with Jo Malone blackberry and bay.
Also in the same category is L’Artisan Mure et Musc. Whereas L’Artisan is blackberry and musk, this is blackberry, sugar (Pink Sugar, Angel) and soft musk. L’artisan is also better sillage, longer lasting, and overall higher quality ingredients.
kykarymba – :
Not for me. Yuck. Probably the blackberries in it. It was kinda weird. Glad I didn’t buy a whole bottle.
bogomerzkiy – :
Whenever I smell Falling In Love I always think of younger me in middle school about 9 years ago when I thought I was so fly for wearing it. Until someone tapped me on the shoulder and told me that I smelled like a pop tart. Now I can’t smell this without thinking of a blueberry pop tart and cringing. Terrifying. Thanks for ruining the 8th grade for me, rude middle-school child.
creewcubceddy – :
This is a very lovely perfume. It smells of blackberries, with something deeper and muskier underneath. The deep scent grounds the berries, keeps the scent from being too overwhelmingly sweet, and makes it sensual. This is a happy scent, and one well-suited to wear in all seasons. Like others have mentioned, this is not a particularly long-lasting fragrance, which is a shame.
trenfen58 – :
more, vaniglia e muschio. facile e confortevole. come dovrebbe essere l’innamoramento.
kashirin – :
update to my recent review… Why is it that the lotion and perfume oil smell absolutely amazing but whenever i find the body lotion they all smell sour almost like a vinegar scent to it,the body butter in the blue jar smells great , but the firming emulsion and lotion smell horrible..I dont get it at all. Its really disappointing. Does anyone else notice this or is it me????I recently wanted to buy some of the lotion from ULTA and of course it smelled sour 🙁
kolja – :
This is my all-time favorite fragrance and I am obsessed with it. Unfortunately, it does not last long at all and an hour after spraying it, I cannot smell it unless I put my nose right up to my wrist.
a29483 – :
I remember first sniffing this years ago after picking up a mini version in the checkout line at Sephora and thinking, “This smells like everything that’s good and right in the world.”
I have to echo previous reviews that say it smells strongly of blackberries and cotton candy, but it’s very soft. It’s not syrupy, cloying or artificial, it’s airy and light. When I smell it I smell a beautiful childhood and young romance. This isn’t a childish or immature aroma, but maybe you could call it girlish. I’m transported back to my childhood in a wonderful way when I spray it.
The only caveat is that since Philosophy was bought out the new spray is very weak and the longevity is poor. Hunt down the old eau de parfum online to get around this problem and save the new version for touch up spritzes or travel.
yushenkoliliya – :
My 19 year old son and I were suprised to know that falling in love smells like burnt marshmellows! On me FIL smells very similar to Pink Sugar (my all time favorite) but lighter and fruiter. It is a nice clean fragrance that should be very unobjectionable in a work setting, this is a great everyday fragrance too, I really like it but it disappears in about 2 hours on me! I have a sample from Sephora and will use that up but will stick to my Pink Sugar as it lasts longer and I do like it more.
RedDevil163 – :
Generally speaking, I like stronger fragrances that last well throughout the day. Falling In Love is not one that is super strong or long-lasting, but I still love it! There is something very sweet and elegant about it’s ‘cleanness’ and simplicity. The greatest thing about it, is that you can literally spray this on right before you leave the house or meet up with someone and you don’t need to let it air out or ‘breathe’ for awhile. It’s very light and has no over-powering quality, so it pretty much goes on just the way it stays. Very simple – Vanilla, Blackberries and Musk. It is touted as being a super romantic fragrance and it does work well for dates, etc. But it’s not strongly sensual, but lovely and soft. Not a lot of silage, it’s a scent you have to get close to before you really smell it. I re-apply every few hours on days that I wear it.
swat109 – :
This is a very pretty, sweet, blackberry scent. It would probably be nice to wear in the spring and summer.
stepan1441 – :
I’ve been a FIL fan for a few years, seems like formula changed along with the staying power. This is met to be worn while cuddling someone in close proximity is in for a treat. Don’t bathe in this expecting a huge scent payoff, this is a light sweet warm scent perfect for being close to that special someone. The guy who does my nails compliments me when I wear this. A little pricey for the size but hey, a scent addict wants what she wants:)
kron_1 – :
at first i didnt care for this scent, but i found a jar of the body butter at tj maxx and i absolutely love it, to me it smells like blackberry mixed with the amazing grace scent, i love it, and today i am goig up to the mall to buy some shower gel…. I would sy, give it a chance, ….
cfx193speagoessenda – :
I’m sorry to say this, but I find this scent extremely musty and stinky. I can’t say it’s fruity or anything. It just makes me want to wash it off right away.
tipograff – :
I was just in Nordstrom’s this afternoon and took a sniff of Trish McEvoy’s Blackberry and Vanilla musk. It literally smelled just like this stuff, which I already have – what joy!
I love the smell of Falling in Love – it’s very youthful and uplifting – and I’d even argue that on me, this scent lasts a long time. Lasts even longer when sprayed on clothes. Sweet, fun, and pleasant.
alex481988 – :
some people love it, some people dont. I dont know what
it is. It dose smell sweet but I can say, I own a lot
of perfumes,over the years. For some reason this
grew on me I love it. One thing I wished that it had
was the staying power. Looking forward to trying
pure grace!!
sonic2006 – :
I am always complimented when I wear this fragrance, I wish it lasted a little bit longer.
saitrol – :
This fragrance isn’t necessarily anything special in my opinion, but that is part of its appeal. It is very soft, light, and fresh, and is the most un-offensive fragrance I own. The sweetness and floral scent is very subtle and clean-smelling, and the sillage is not intense at all. Since it is an EDT, it doesn’t last on me very long, but this also makes it a great refresher for a hot summer day. I do like this perfume, but I don’t think I will repurchase it when I run out, as my tastes are changing.
blannonee – :
This fragrance is so not “me”, but I enjoy it a great deal when I want to feel young. The perfumed hand lotion helps the fragrance last (as it has been said before, the longevity is very poor). I rub the perfumed hand lotion on my hands and forearms, then I apply the perfume on top.
The scent itself smells feather-light and sweet like clouds made from cotton candy mixed with the fine and wispy hair of a cherub. Very comforting and child-like. Unlike other sweet/tween scents, it doesn’t smell overly chemical or like fruity bug spray. I like it. My boyfriend and my cats like it too.
banderaz – :
Nice fruity perfume not unique at all, but good for every day wear. Would suit a young girl very well. Doesn’t last on skin, but stays on clothing for ages.
wll239intitytek – :
This is one of my favorite scents. I don’t understand the comments about it not lasting. I can smell it on my clothes and skin the day after I wear it. I’ve never had it start off sweet-smelling and then have it turn to a sour scent. To the person who complained of that—maybe it doesn’t work well with your natural chemicals. I had friends who couldn’t wear Victoria’s Secret Love Spell for that reason. I think Falling In Love is a wonderful, light, fun, flirtly fragrance. I’d recommend it to anyone.
megadeh – :
One of those scents I wanted to like, as I was actually falling in love at the time I bought it. Unfortunately, it doesnt do much on the skin. It smells juicy, then turns to a weird sour smell on my skin. I would have found it boring if I wasnt grossed out, and luckily, it disappears in about an hour.
opilbomma – :
This scent smells nice but it smells just like Victoria’s Secret PINK fruity & bright (which is now discontinued) and I sold that scent because I got bored of it so I probably won’t end up buying this.
Grifa – :
It’s just too light. I bought a QVC special, lotion, shower gel, and body spritz. Too expensive to send back. This is just not a winner. I would like it if it lasted.
kac9 – :
I wore this a lot in middle school. I thought I was the hottest damn thing around. Then one of my friends told me that I smelled like a Pop Tart.
:/
den33d2008 – :
I know a lot of people that love this fragrance but it’s just too sweet for me. It seems juvenile to me and it makes me ill after I smell it. I bought it online without ever smelling it.
supermegaman – :
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a very sweet perfume. Berries, cotton candy and bit a bit of musky vanilla. I prefer Philosophy’s Unconditional Love, which I think has a bit more depth and warmth.
However, I do always keep a small bottle of Falling in Love on hand. I wear it occasionally in the spring/summer. It always makes me feel happy.
Sillage is okay, but as with most of Philosophy’s fragrances, it doesn’t last for very long. Perhaps only a couple of hours, even if layered with lotion. Which is a shame, because I like most of their perfumes and would wear them more often if they lasted longer!
любовь – :
Can you say cotton candy on crack???? I jumped about 30 feet away from the bottle. It smelled like burnt sugar UGH…. Needs to come with a warning label saying caution wearing may cause diabetes!!!!! THUMBS DOWN!!!
omonya – :
I wanted to try this one out after reading many comparisons to Trish McEvoy’s 9 Blackberry Vanilla Musk, one of my favorites and many others’ favorite in my collection. This one just fell flat to me… just doesn’t have the same depth as 9. Its slightly sweeter, lighter, could detect the vanilla a little better… but it lacks the tartness I crave from my favorite berry and what is captured so well in 9. Additionally I find 9’s rose to be much more complimentary than the lily. Philosophy’s version comes off so simple it almost smells cheap to me; just not worth replacing the fragrance I’ve been coveting for about 7 years now.
dima_killer – :
I wear Falling in Love probably more than any other fragrance I own. It is a very soft, inoffensive scent that draws a lot of compliments. A little bit of blackberry mixed with a soft musk….lovely!
DEMON4 – :
Falling In Love was my first Philosophy fragrance purchase ever! Now just so everyone knows that I did not rush to judgement in reviewing this fragrance, I purchased the 0.5 ounce spray in November 2011. I also recommend anyone loving fragrances that feature musk, vanilla, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and blackberry try this fragrance. The only problem this fragrance posed for me is that musk and my body chemistry produce an undesirable scent that smells very close to Off bug spray (not really something I like to smell like). It took a little research to find out what note was producing such an undesirable scent on me, but after researching the fragrance notes of other fragrances I have tried that also smelled funky on me, for lack of a better word, they all have one common note, musk. If anyone out there has a similar problem I would suggest trying Unconditional Love because It features a fruity black currant fragrance and some light floral notes, no musk. I have not tried any of the grace fragrance sprays so I am not currently able to comment on those fragrances yet. I am giving this fragrance 3 out of 5 stars based only on my personal experience with this fragrance and how it smelled on me. Fragrance is so personal and individual to each and every one of us that this review is just sharing my own experience with this fragrance and by no means meant to detour anyone from trying this fragrance. I would just like to add that I did not have any issues with this particular fragrance and it’s staying power or being too overpowering. I am one of those people who has allergies and sensitivity to many fragrances, so even though this did not smell the greatest on me, it did not cause me to have any allergic reactions which for me is great! I’m so excited to try the new Love Sweet Love fragrance spray by Philosophy coming soon!
This is also my very first review I have posted on this website and I really hope it is helpful to some of you out there. I love reading all of your reviews, thank you for taking time to write them and educating me in the wide world of fragrance!
blins – :
This is one of the only scents that my body chemistry doesn’t outright reject. Other white/fruity florals go sour on me! It opens sweet and floral, then a couple hours later the blackberry surfaces in a vanilla confection. It isn’t so sweet as to be teenage girl, but more college age young sweet sophisticate bookish kind of girl. My mother loves opium and those musky scents, but strangely fell for Falling in love… It works with both our chemistries, but alas, it is not my signature scent. I was looking for a more bold zest to it, but it is a tried and true lovely scent that will always be on my shelf. Oh, and I have yet to meet a man who doesn’t do an about face when he sniffs this!
eds385speagoessenda – :
While I ADORE this scent, the projection and lasting power are terrible, even though I have the EDP. Because of this, I have to treat it more like a body spray and keep re-applying. The smell is lovely, elegant and sweet, and completely non-offensive. I don’t see how anyone could not like this.
шамиль – :
Oh i just receive this for Christmas after being apart from it for years! Yes, it’s sweet and jammy. It’s my comforting dreamy scent when I don’t wanna try to boost extra confidence or make any statement. It also reminds me vaguely of Bond No.9 Scent Of Peace. For how much it is and its quality, i think it’s a winner.
gerda04 – :
Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to take up yet another Philosophy unperfume this afternoon: FALLING IN LOVE, which fortunately is a vast improvement on INNER GRACE, which however can hardly be viewed as a compliment, given that I actually had to resort to a scrub to get that chemical soup off my skin. FALLING IN LOVE strikes me as somewhat cynical, an expression of the age-old wisdom that “not all that glitters is gold,” one corollary of which is that not every crush attains the status of true love.
FALLING IN LOVE opens as a sweet, jammy, laundry scent. Yes, difficult to believe but no less for that true, “sweet laundry” is in fact a twenty-first century fragrance category, and FALLING IN LOVE is a member of that class—at least in its opening, until it dries down like the residue at the bottom of an almost empty jar of berry jam: thick and unspreadable dark fruits. Very shallow, this fragrance may have surface appeal but quickly becomes boring, like a person who seemed loveable until he opened his mouth. Or even worse, left a piece of his screed lying about, revealing to all the barrenness of his soul. He might be okay for a one-night stand, but falling for him is not FALLING IN LOVE. A more appropriate name for this forgettable composition might be PASSING FAD or, better yet, OMG WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BEDDED DOWN WITH A GUY WITH 3 STDS?

if grape bubble gum grew on trees… and there was a grape bubble gumblossom, this is how i imagine it would smell. sugary and purple, and very linear. not that i don’t like it, but it certainly wasn’t at all what i was expecting.
c2202 – :
I adore this sweet little concoction, and I’ve been wearing it for over 10 years. I rarely wear sugary fragrances, and when I first purchased this, I bought it because it seemed unusual! Falling In Love smells like burnt sugar and sweet berries, and I love it mostly because it’s special to my kids. When my boys were little (they’re now 17 and 12) they always asked me to wear this “for them”. It’s a cozy, happy, fresh, extremely pretty scent that I’ve worn recently for my 3 year old daughter. I can wear this anytime, anywhere, and thoroughly enjoy it. It’s one of my bedtime favorites, for inducing peaceful dreams. I always buy the edp version, because it has more vanilla and berries. The edt develops a strange, watery melon note on my skin, and I don’t like melon. The edp is all warmth and creme brulee.
sloboda – :
It’s very very sweet. It reminds me most of cotton candy. Initially loved it then found it too much but gone back to liking it.
krivoyn78 – :
I tried this as a bit of research for a colleague who LOVES it (she’s 21)…but she can’t find it in our country. (We’re living in Asia.) On the good side, a LOT of people commented on how nice it smelled on me. Personally, I feel that it starts SO SWEET. (I’m 32…this is a scent for a teenager.) Cotton candy is the smell. However, it was light and faded fast. It had a nice, clean finish once the sweetness wore off.
bogdan17081982 – :
i have the concentrate roll-on oil cologne i think that it last pretty pretty good on me even after i just worked out!! i know sounds seally.. 😉 but i’ve kind of tested & it’s… pretty smelling sweet still there xoxo
i’m honestly surprised i love this smell.. i agreed it smell like cotton candy! kind of loooooveey cotton candy smell 🙂
plaisantly surprised in a very sweet way lol!
i’m not familiar with pink sugar but i guees if it’s similar i will stick with this one!
it’s a funny day perfume
make me smile each time i smell my arm
good day 🙂 every one
andrew967 – :
I must agree with folks who say that this scent is lovely, but doesn’t last. I think the sweetness reminds me of cotton candy. I thought that spraying it on my clothes would help it last longer, but alas, it was gone in ~30minutes
Arsenchik – :
Definitely smell sweet berries. I wish it was stronger so I could fall in love with myself by sniffing it all day, but like others said, it doesn’t last.
Drolukserokz – :
I love Falling in Love 🙂 It stays on for a fair amount of time, so that’s good. Smelling this perfume just makes me happy!

soft little sweet really romantic parfum, not sickly

Molodoy – :
Very sweet, soft, and romantic. It’s definitely for inimate nights as it’s sillage is very light. I have been very impressed with Philosophy’s perfumes and I have yet to be disappointed.

I wear this when I don’t know what I feel like smelling like or when I am going to be in close quarters with people, where it would not be appropriate to wear a stronger perfume. That may not sound like a glowing endorsement BUT sometimes light and pretty is in order. It stays very close to the skin and smells of sweet berries and light airy musk; I don’t get all that much sweet vanilla like I smell in Unconditional love. It doesn’t last very long but it is worth owning for me. I really like it.

Soooooo sweet, like the jar of colorful hard candies your grandmother offers to all of her guests.
The nice thing about this scent is that it’s not overpowering. It becomes quite subdued, and strangely, makes me think that if “falling in love” could smell like something, it would be this.

Very, very sweet. It’s not bad, but it just smelled too synthetic to me. Fake blackberries, syrupy vanilla. I love blackberry and vanilla, but Falling in Love struck me as dull and cheap.

Very reminiscent of Trish McEvoy’s No. 9 fragrance, though easier to find and easier on the wallet. Layering with the shower gel and body
