I loveeeeee this fragrance and now have it in every form that it comes in. I'm usually allergic to most fragrances and most cause severe migraines. Ironically, I first smelled this on an Emergency Room Nurse while being TREATED for a migraine and it smelled so very good. Usually while having a migraine, I can't even stomach smelling the few perfumes or scents that I DO like. On her, it smelled very soft and comforting. I asked her what it was and thus began my love affair with Falling in Love. So I would recommend it to even the most sensitive people. Also, I ALWAYS get compliments when I wear it, for instance, one day standing in line, someone said, "someone smells GOOD" and they kept following their nose to my wrist and said, "That's IT! That's that incredible scent!" Although the Philosophy body souffle has now been discontinued by Philosophy, I love FIL most in the body souffle, as the souffles are decadent and make you feel rich and just pure luxury!

The name is accurate because this is the perfume I accociate with my husband. I was wearing it during our courtship and though I wear it occasionally now (mostly because he likes it so much) it always brings back romantic and sexy memories.
I found that MEN really have a strong reaction to this fragrance. I rarely have people comment on what I am wearing but when I have worn this, even I have been surprised at the positive response. I never tell them what it is because I feel silly saying the name....thus it does keep it's mystery...
I find that as I have gotten older I do like more sophisticated scents (stella, Coco ect.) I don't necessarily need to smell like fruit or vanilla and alot of the fragrances I used to like are just too sweet for me now. This one is one of the few that remain. It's sweet in a shy way without being teen-like. It doesn't last long though and if I do wear it I take the bottle with me. For some reason the perfume oil doesn't last as long as the spray...wierd..neverthless I like it.

I like the scent but I don't love it. It's a bit sickly sweet if you don't like overly fruity, sugar coated perfume. I with the staying power was longer too. It totally disappeared just an hour after I sprayed it on. I could barely smell anything afterwards. Total waste of money!

I like the scent, but it does NOT last. Once I spray it on, I feel like it loses it's scent almost immediately. The price is too high for glorified water. I won't repurchase this one.

Sickly sweet... like berry flavored cotton candy. I hear people say that after the top notes evaporate you're left with something nice but if the scent fades after a couple of hours, it seems like a slim window of time for the perfect scent. All in all, it's just not worth it for me. I had the same reaction to Thierry Mugler's Angel so I guess sweet treat smells are just not my thing.

OMG. This is SOOO not the fragrance for me. It smells like blackberries and I totall hate fragrances that smell like food....other than vanilla. I do not like to smell like any kind of fruit. I like the Amazing Grace fragrance but it had to grow on me. I really wanted to like this as they kept advertising how everyone tells you how wonderful you smell when you are wearing it, and how men love it, blah, blah. I did get compliments but I still couldn't stand it. It just made me want to vomit. I suggest you try before you buy. If you must buy, get a very small bottle then buy up, if it works for you. Just a big fat, NOPE NOPE NOPE for me.

OMG...this stuff actually almost Gagged me, lol! Totally not my thing, cheap, sweet, absolutely yucky :-( The only reason I gave it 2 lips is because it just keeps staying, and staying.....I must have got some on my sweater when I sprayed it last night, now this morning, it's still all I can smell! Into the washer w/ the sweater, lol!

I asked for this perfume for Christmas even though I had never actually smelled it, and I was more than pleasantly surprised. It is a lovely sweet, but not cloying gourmand. The initial scent is a bit "alcoholy" but it quickly dries to a soft blackberry/cotton candy/vanilla delight. I took 1 lippie off because the staying power is not great and the bottle is a little boring. I will definitely purchase this again because I know I will be going through this large bottle quite quickly.

EDIT: I am actually quite annoyed with this "spray fragrance". It really does smell lovely, for 30 seconds and then it's gone. For $50 I want more than lightly scented water. I have the lotion and shower gel, and those have no fragrance whatsoever, complete and major disappointment,

I was at Sephora looking for a new perfume. I needed a change. I came across this spray fragrance, and purchased the travel size to give it a try.....needless to say I'm HOOKED! I LOVE the smell of this stuff. It goes on sweet, but it mellows out after a few minutes. I love love LOVE the smell of it. The only downside is that the spray fragrance fades, and you have to re-apply. However, I just picked up the eau de parfum, and it seems to have better staying power. I'm in love.

This smells like pure cotton candy. I cannot wear any fragrance that smells like food or is too sweet. I'm more of a floral, clean, musk type of gal. The 3in1 kind of grew on me after a while but I was sooooo happy when it finished. This fragrance I thought lasted the most out of all the Graces of Philosophy, sure enough my least favorite. Needless to say I wasn't getting it again.
