Field of Flowers by Philosophy
The name says it all. This is an ultra flowery perfume by the relatively new brand of Philosophy. They specialize in creating fragrances and accessories for the feminine lady. This is one of their very latest perfumes and I believe that it is in the long line of future product lines that will try to link ladies to the flowers. This kind of overly floral tribute is not to everyone’s taste but for those who like the theme; this can be something of a godsend.
The Brand
The brand is not well known. This can be both a positive and negative thing. Some of the more powerful brand such as Givenchy gives each of their perfumes a certain aura that may even compensate for the individual weaknesses of the perfume. This type of cross pollination of brand reputation is the mainstay of their advertising. In this instance I like the fact that the perfume is confident enough to stand on its own merits without the explicit endorsement of a minor celebrity.
The Fragrance
The overall theme of the perfume is floral with a heavy hint of peony. Those who take an interest in flowers will also notice that there is an almost garden like fragrance to the whole package. I have to say that the flower thing has been done to death and it might cloud some of the potential customers’ views to notice that yet another flowery perfume has been put on the market. However the field of flowers still manages to retain its individuality.
The Packaging
The packaging is just some flowery feminine sort of thing. I find the myriad of flowers slightly off putting. We know that it is a flower based perfume and there is no need to literally rub our noses in it. The riot of colors looks like something unpleasant out of the eighties and the overall feeling is not one of inspiration but one of quiet confidence. If you are into that sort of thing then by all means go for the field of flowers. If you are looking for a fiery perfume, then you are in the wrong place.
General Customer Feedback
Many customers commented on the floral nature of the perfume and some thought that it might put them off buying the perfume in the first place. They seemed to think that the perfume was a generally trusted one although there was no great enthusiasm. I think that generally this is a good perfume that can make an impact in certain areas
