Unconditional Love Philosophy for women

I'm afraid to admit that I actually like this scent on me. Not for every day but it's a nice change. FIL Is still a fav for me but thus one isn't bad either,sweeter and more complex.

This was given to me by my boss. She knows I like fruity scents, and anything berry.

Unfortunately... testing it now... not only does it make me feel sick to smell it, my CAT has just started to sneeze all over the place. :( And I only spritzed it once - 1 spray.

I have developed a sensitivity to fragrances, I used to sell them. But somehow I don't think this is just me with this one.

If you have fragrance sensitivities or alergies, I would test this outside FIRST!

Headache and nausia.

I just had to open both my windows and put a fan in one to air it out... and we are approaching FEBRUARY. :( It is going to get cold in here! lol. Will think twice before trying this one again.

I think it might be destined for a give away or the trash. There is no way I can spray this again. :( Sorry Philosophy! Maybe it's a chemical in here? It's too bad it makes me feel so aweful and sick to breathe it. Hope this helps!

I agree with those who say: too sweet with a strange twist on the skin.

Unconditional Love smells like cotton candy when sprayed,but on the skin this is rancid! I don't think I've ever returned an online purchase as quickly as did with this. It arrived via UPS @ 5:30,5:50 I was standing in line @ Sephora exchanging it for something else!

Smells like cotton candy tastes - too sweet!

Theres not many perfumes I hate but this is one of them.

It just smells like blackcurrant Beechams or Lempsip Cold and Flu drink in my opinion.

I sprayed this on me, and when my boyfriend entered the room he said, "it smells like a candy necklace in here". It's sweet, tart, and simple. I do not find it heavy at all. I love it! It does not last long, but I wasn't expecting that. It's a nice casual fragrance for everyday wear or to the store.

Sadly all I am getting is playdough & gardenia so sad and disappointed.

Sweet & adorable. I'm getting a lot more from this than what's listed... if it only had "black currant" +flowers it would be at least somewhat sour... instead, I get a kind of a sweet gourmand fragrance... definitely something cake-like about this. I like it. The major flaw is the lasting power... on me, it seemed to only last for a few minutes. :(

I have to buy my second bottle. It is a simple sweet happy fragrance on me. It is my every day scent. Most perfumes give me a headache and asthma attacks, yet this one never does! It simply makes me smile and when on the skin, it smooths out and becomes warm, soft and happy. It is very similar to Trish McEvoy 9, which is a bit more musky and complex, which isn't ideal for me. Additionally, on my skin the 9 does not last and fades within an hour, but the Unconditional Love lasts for hours longer. I've been wearing the Trish for a week, and am going to order UL because the Trish just doesn't do it for me.

For layering, the body lotion smells more chemically and not as sweet. The fancier emulsion lotion does smell more like the actual cologne.

FWIW, Undconditional Love smells nothing at all like Falling in Love to my nose. FIL is a much more laundry/fresh scent.

I am one lucky lady, first I am lucky enough to have unconditional love in my life and second my unconditional love gave me a wonderful Unconditional Love fragrance layering collection as one of my Christmas gifts that included the 2 ounce spray fragrance!
The 2 ounce spray fragrance is just wonderful! including the notes of black currant berries with light florals and maybe a touch of vanilla mixed in, it's just sweet, warm, and fresh all at once. I love that even though the spray fragrance does have lasting power you can still refresh your fragrance throughout the day without making people around you wanting to run the other way or having a sneeze attack. I am sensitive to fragrance and have allergies, so this is a big plus for me! Infact, I've recently been spraying myself with Unconditional Love before I get into bed. For me, it is not only a lovely fragrance during the day, it also evokes a sence of calm and happiness when heading off to dream land. It's like aromatherapy for me!
I love this fragrance and this being only my second Philosophy fragrance I've tried, I am so very satisfied I would give it 5 out of 5 stars! Falling In Love was the first Philosophy fragrance I tried. Unfortunately for me, the musk in Falling In Love reacts negatively with my personal body chemistry. Since fragrance is personal to everyone, I would suggest giving this fragrance a try and see if it tugs at your heart strings as it did mine. May you all give and receive unconditional love...

For those in search of sweet laundry scents—you must be out there somewhere, else houses would cease producing and marketers promoting them—Philosophy UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is a much better choice than FALLING IN LOVE, as it opens and remains a sweet laundry scent. I find this composition much more likeable, although I do think that its name is a bit of an exaggeration.

My own concept of unconditional love probably was decisively molded by my father—a civil engineer—who was famous in our family when I was growing up for spouting a variety of aphorisms such as “You could be replaced by a machine.” Many of these pronouncements appear to have been meant facetiously, but one of them bears directly on the topic at hand: “I may not always like you, but I'll always love you.” This is a clear expression of unconditional love: no matter what you do, I will still love you. Very similar, it seems to me, to the relation which must obtain between the persons I see out walking their dogs on frosty quasi-Antarctic nights in the darkest depths of winter in Boston. There they are, dutifully bending down to scoop up the poop of their beloved pooch without complaining or any indication that such a task is beneath them—though of course it is, down on the ground at the level of their feet! Yes, they could be at home snuggled under down comforters, but, no, these pet owners are out picking up steaming turds off glacial sidewalks. It's really a sight to behold and a clear sign to me that the only possible relation which could obtain between the owners and their dogs is unconditional love. But I digress.

Although I do like a good citrus scent now and then, I'm not much for the fruity-floral genre, including the subcategory of berry perfumes, but UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is a perfectly wearable one and definitely more likeable and sturdy than FALLING IN LOVE, which perhaps appropriately somewhat falls apart. I would say that UNCONDITIONAL LOVE compares favorably to the Trish McEvoy blackberry fragrances and also Victoria's Secret VELVET AMBER BLACKBERRY. Yes, there are now a number of decent berry perfumes available, so there's no need to settle for anything but the best, for what they are. Different wearers will appreciate different features of these various fruity scents, but in the end I think that it's fair to say that berry lovers have cause to rejoice.

I have this perfume and do like it, although I agree with other reviewers - it doesn't last very long. Perhaps an hour or two? Starts off very sweet, but does end up with a nice warmth. Has a bit more depth than "Falling in Love" which is by far the sweetest of the Philosophy perfumes. "Amazing Grace" is still one of my favorites and that one does last all day on me, so I'm not sure why Unconditional Love doesn't quite have the same staying power.

I bought this perfume on my 19th birthday. I really liked it when I bought it because it was really sweet, light, and fruity. It made me feel pretty. Unfortunately the love affair only lasted about a month. The scent got really boring to me. It's very simple and one dimensional. I also found that it had incredibly short lasting power and almost no silage after an hour. I know I sound so harsh, but I really am disappointed in the quality of this perfume. It really wasn't worth the money.

I have worn this every day flackbor over a year. It is blackberry/cotton candy scented to me. Others have posted that the scent does not last long. I can not smell it after an hour or so but people tell me that I smell great through out the day so I am guessing that my nose just gets used to it. My husband and son love the scent on me as well. I LOVE Unconditional Love!!

Gag. Way, way, way too sweet for me. Heavy, cloying, sugary candy-sweet. About 10 times the sugar as Falling in Love, and that one is pretty sweet, too, but much nicer, IMHO. Can't figure out why this is called a floral? No flowers smell like this.

Great berry top note, and I get no farther. I can't get a philosophy scent to last more than one hour on me. I love their bath gels and skin care, but forget their fragrance EDTs. For the cost you are better off saving money and buying a Lolita Lempicka or a Jessica Simpson, Crabtree and Evelyn or even a Bath and Body Works. Seriously, scents stay true with my chemistry and last. I have never had this happen with any other fragrance line. So spray and go shopping, check in 10, 30 and 60 minutes. I read reviews that Ed Hardy scents disappear quickly. I can get Love and Luck and Born Wild to last at least 6 hours with a couple of good sprays. I am glad I got this and the small body butter as a gift with skincare purchase. I used them together and still no "stick", too bad, because this and Amazing Grace smell nice and Pure Grace for powder fans. Buy the bath gel and just enjoy the shower experience. Anyone else have a challenge with staying power? Sigh, probably just me, so sad, because I love it.

A kind gental . sweet descret perfume .. but it dosent last very long

i will never EVER buy a scent just judging by reviews of others. to me it just smells of plain RIBENA!
sweet jesus - i got full 50 ml of it - maybe i should just drink it?

Reminded philosophy falling in love, but more light
so good scent

This smells similar in the bottle to Falling in Love, but Falling in Love is more airy/aquatic while this one is deeper and sweeter. It starts off as berries and vanilla and, while the berries never leave, it dries down sweet and musky with a bit of lemon cake. I love this perfume! The body wash and cream are wonderful too.

This reminded me very much of Philosophy's Falling in Love. There is something very similar about these two scents. This one is not as nice IMO. But if you wear Falling in Love all the time and you need a change once in a while, unconditional love is a good variation.

This did not smell good to me out of the bottle but on, it smells wonderful. Sort of candyish but not in a bad way. Warm and sweet...sugary. So not my normal scent but I love it!

This one is like Falling In Love...with an extra zest. Occasionally, I'll use the FIL shower gel and body lotion and then spray Unconditional Love over that. Very nice! They're similar enough to layer beautifully together. Yet different enough to create a whole 'nother attitude, when used separately. I love that about this line. It really can be suited to whatever your mood!

I was walking at Macy's when an associate let me sniff this and that one sniff got me hooked. I tried it on and after that, I couldn't get it out of my head. I had to get it and eventually got the layering set. I was newly married and felt the scent embodied its name exactly! I love it! It's very comfortable, sweet (but not in the cough syrup sort of way) and just envelopes me with joyful contentment. Unconditional love indeed.

My mom has it. Its very very sweet. Probably the sweetest scent from Philosophy. Its like citrus, berries & vanilla! Its very delicious & refreshing!! My favorite from Philosophy!! I cant remember what Falling In Love smells like so I cant say if theyre similar. Sorry.
