But I digress.Īlthough 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. 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.
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. 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. 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. I find this composition much more likeable, although I do think that its name is a bit of an exaggeration. Book Update, The Art of Packing and A Holiday by t.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.Unconditional Love contains fruity notes, white floral notes, hints of blackberry and black current and finishes off with a cashmere vanilla dry down. I've got nothing but love for Philosophy's Unconditional Love. The next day I went back and sampled it again, this time the sales girl gave me samples of the scent as well as the firming body emulsion and shower gel in the same fragrance. I'm not sure why I instantly label fruity and sweet smelling fragrances as unsophisticated but I had filed this one as such in my mind.
Maybe Unconditional Love wasn't such a throwaway after all. She said (and I quote) that I smelled "amazing".
Lost in the reverie of daydreaming (what else is one to do in a long line at the post office?) I was brought out of my thoughts by the lady standing behind me who asked me what scent I was wearing. I will admit the first time I sampled Unconditional Love, I liked it instantly but decided to file it under "guilty pleasure" as the intensely sweet and fruity notes together reminded me of a summertime concoction that I used to wear from Bath and Bodyworks when I was a teenager.īut then I went to the post office and found myself standing in what seemed to be a never ending line. I've actually tried it three times in the last week as Philosophy has opened a flagship store near my home in Santa Monica and I find myself frequently walking by its open doors. This past week I sampled Philosophy's newest fragrance, Unconditional Love.
