…I fixed it! The trick is to put on vanilla-scented lotion first.
Here’s the deal: I’m not sure if I can fully convey how much I used to detest this fragrance when it was released back in the early 2000s. I remember that I was eager to sample it, but this type of scent, at least as a perfume, was completely foreign to my nose at the time. I was definitely not into the “clean, soapy” thing. I don’t think I even really knew what that meant! But now, what, sixteen years later (eeek), I can truly say that I actually really like it. It does smell like a bar of Dove soap…but that’s alright. I’m wondering if it’s the orange blossom note that is so “soapy.” And at this point I have evolved a palate for musks, so I can appreciate that part of it as well.
So today, before applying for the first time ever, I decided to first apply a vanilla lotion. Specifically the one by Avon. It made the scent really stick to me and last all day! Not only that, it’s the note that I think was missing from Glow to make it most wearable for me, and sort of make it less bar of soap. I also want to try out Eau de Glow sometime, as some reviewers say they prefer it.

The bottle:
It’s a pretty bottle sorta of looks like a woman’s backside from looking from the side like in JLO’s advertisement poster (I think that was the point). I like that she did something a little different then just putting a woman’s body like Jean Paul. It’s simple love the translucent look to give it off when it fogs in the shower it’s preparing us what will be inside.
Inside the bottle:
Clean, Soapy, Pretty, Elegant and smells a little like sunscreen are the first words that come to mind when I smell this
When first sprayed you get the musk,jasmine, rose. When it dries you get the neroli, orange blossom and tuberose which gives off the soapy and powdery smell. The citrus is not very strong. Longevity is pretty good I would say 4 hours at least.
Overall:
This perfume is perfect for someone who likes clean, soapy, powdery and floral scents. Great of the Spring/Summer time. This one can be a hit or miss perfume to someone who is sensitive to perfume even tho it’s the lightest one of jlo line the musk could be a little too much.
Frorianeinfek – :
This has been tampered with…
Like everything i like; its been horribly reformulated :/
It used to be quite fruity, jasminey and extremely long lasting.
Now it barely lasts half an hour on my skin andit smells more plasticky.
StIkS – :
This is really bad. I recently ordered Miami Glow, but this was sent to me instead by a mistake. What a horrible smell! It’s like a cheap, old, sharp hairspray, and it never goes away.
TATOS – :
All the girls in my HS use to wear this and OMG it gave me such a headache… Smelled like bug spray…..
It really sucks because all the notes that were used I love so much…. I’m definitely going to try a sample of this and see if maybe I can learn to love it.
I have Miami Glow and that one smells DIVINE!!!
Pakanapima – :
Back in my teens, I liked this fragrance because it was modern and accessible. It’s clearly been reformulated since then. Now, it smells like sunscreen. This one isn’t a keeper for me anymore. Anyone want to swap
Russel-666 – :
Either my nose has changed or the formula for this has definitely changed! I remember this being a bright and soapy perfume for everyday wear. Now it smells almost like Exclamation! There is nothing natural in it at all! After this bottle, I’m moving on for good. Sorry Glow.
PAHEL – :
If memory serves this was my first perfume (at 12 or 13). I didn’t know about synthetic smells and liked that this was fresh, soapy and was made by J.Lo.
I’m happy to say I’ve moved on from there…
One the earliest celebrity fragrances – not entirely bad. But not showstopping.
Yes, it’s synthetic but not like pesticide or insect repellent as some reviews have suggested.
For those who love it, try KENNETH COLE FOR HER (2018), it’s a more sophisticated and subtler version.
qxo184Negeltzex – :
Bitter, metallic musk. Smells like a herbicide or insecticide, really strange!
monah1960 – :
This is one of the most cloying perfumes I have ever had the misfortune of smelling. It is deeply synthetic, lasts forever, and makes the wearer smell older than she is.
alex829 – :
This was one of my first perfumes at 15-16. I liked it then, but it wasn’t my favorite. Now, at 29 I’ve fallen in love with this fragrance! Sure, it’s a little synthetic on the initial blast, but the dry down is just this perfect, beachy scent! To me it smells like suntan lotion, hot sand, salty air with a zesty citrus/rose trail wafting around in it. It’s no groundbreaker, and not likely a head turner, but I always get compliments when I wear this light, clean perfume. At the bargain for which it can be had, I plan to always keep a bottle of this in my collection for when the mood strikes!
plan4ik – :
This is a fragrance I’ve been wearing on and off again since the initial release in 2002 and has become one of my favorites. Glow is a comfortable, casual, daytime and work appropriate scent. It’s elegant in its simplicity. Sadly it doesn’t always mesh with my body chemistry, as I’ll explain below.
This fragrance is lightly sweet, powdery, delicately floral, with a touch of something like sunscreen, sand, beach, waves, and sandalwood. I wear this almost exclusively in the warmer months and get frequent compliments on it. The longevity and projection are medium, which means I can wear it very lightly to keep the scent closer to my skin instead of obtrusively blasting any room with my fragrance and it’s not entirely necessary to reapply throughout the day. It’s a rather simple fragrance, but clean and enjoyable nevertheless.
Sometimes this fragrance goes off on me. Somehow the undertone of sunscreen and beach morphs into bug repellent and chemicals. The scent turns synthetic and all the lovely floral notes are lost. When this happens I just have to put her away for a few months and try again later. Over all these years I have yet to figure out what causes this, but thankfully it’s not permanent.
Glow is a fragrance that I have repurchased many times and remains a staple in my fragrance collection.
ahiguypoe – :
I’ve had a bottle of this perfume in the back of my perfume collection for a while and never liked wearing it or even spraying it on myself since to me it smelled exactly like baby wipes, it is uncanny to me. It is just a disappointment. The bottle design is beautiful in shape and the fragrance has a nice color.
bpspbalk – :
Glow is the most oddly addicting scent in the universe. I love it and can’t even explain why. It is incredibly unique. It is clean, vibrant and fresh but also has this synthetic note that reminds me of old vinyl toys. I don’t know if any of you recall the Barbie doll cases that were prevalent in the 1960’s and early seventies but this perfume definitely smells like that. I realize that description does not bring to mind something you would want to wear on your skin but it DOES. The florals are fresh and gorgeous. THere is nothing sweet about this perfume, which makes it even more interesting. THe most apparent notes to me are the jasmine, neroli and grapefruit. It is a clean jasmine, however and not even remotely cloying. I love this and intend on buying a few back ups. It lasts for 6 plus hours on my skin. At $11.00 it was a complete bargain.

pashaV10 – :
I love the fresh soap and flowers scent combined with the musk and sandalwood. It does have a bit of a sharp edge and a vaguely synthetic smell when sprayed … so, I can see why people might be put off by this one. On me, that chemical smell disappears quickly and fades to a pretty and fresh scent but still enough edge to be interesting.
One weird, minor gripe: I hate the bottle. I veer toward simplicity and couldn’t stand the way it looked on my dresser so I manually removed all the bling and Jlo nonsense. Now it’s just a simple yet shapely, long-necked bottle that blends in nicely with my other perfumes.
FAN_JACK – :
I feel like glow was a released at a time when celebrity fragrances were better quality wise, very clean scent like you just stepped out of the shower. Jlo says this is her favorite and I can see why
AssignInhitte – :
Clean,fresh floral scent.. very different..loves to use this when its spring.
karablik77 – :
I was not a huge fan of Glow when it came out, but I found an old sample of it and thought I’d revisit it. Well, I’m still not a fan. It starts very creamy and clean, with lots of musk, orange flower and neroli and a rather subtle rose. At this stage I like it, it reminds me of a thick white body cream and has that clean & sexy vibe. But when it dries down, it becomes soapy and harsh on my skin, a bit screechy and even scratchy on my throat.
Nevertheless it’s a classic among the celebrity fragrances, and I guess it’s been around so long for a reason. Any lover of clean musks and soapy scents should try or revisit Glow, it’s so affordable and different from other celeb scents.
It’s just not for me, not at 13 and not at 30 and most likely not at 93.
MecelAngello – :
This perfume is so good
Soapy floral its amazing
The lasting power is 12 hours
The silage is amazing
Always getting compliments when i wear this
kolpaschikow – :
I have had this bottle for almost two years and I never reach for it.
The smell is pleasant enough, but something about it is off putting. It’s a soapy floral-ish scent, but I don’t like it at all. I can’t put my finger on what exactly it is I don’t like, except that something about it smells slightly chemical or synthetic. Whatever it is, this one is a clear cut “No”.
Because of this, I have not tried any of the many flankers, though I am tempted. It’s a pity, because she seems so well liked.
Hofplolfralay1975 – :
For anyone who works at Starbucks,,, DO NOT WEAR THIS FOR YOUR SHIFT. For me I spray a couple sprays on this morning and now 9 hours later I can still smell it, and it’s strong as hell! I like the scent but it is one of the perfumes that over-powers the coffee smell. Doesn’t compliment it at all. (Yes I am aware that wearing perfume is not look-book approved)
rismFierlal – :
When I was a teenager, I received this perfume as a gift in two occasions, so I used it as an everyday scent for many years.
Even though this is not one of my favorite perfumes, I must admit it´s really worth the (low) price… it´s fresh, it reminds somehow a high-end floral soap and you can´t offend anyone wearing it. The floral notes can appear a little bit synthetic, yes, but as a whole Glow does not smell cheap. Have in mind that not everyone is happy to smell a blooming garden when being around you… some people despite the smell of jasmine/neroli or flowers in general (spring allergy traumas!) 😀
So, in my opinion, this perfume is somehow a crowd pleaser. Another plus – it has a strong silage, so applying once or twice is sufficient. The bottle can last you for years 😉
slava – :
As a man I like it on ladies… I cannot understand some comments that says it’s cheap and smells washing powder and so on. I think it smells Smokey rose and pretty good for price
به عنوان یک مرد دوست دارم از یک خانم بوی این عطر رزی خاکی رو استشمام کنم… خیلی ها ایراد گرفتن که بوی مواد شوینده ارزون رو میده که اصلا نمیفهمم چرا و چطور به این نتیجه رسیدن .
bender_133 – :
This is one of the first celebrity fragrances that I remember. I’d wanted to try it for years but was always nervous bc I love sweet and gourmand scents. I finally got a good deal on a bottle of Glow and though it isn’t sweet or gourmand, I do still thoroughly enjoy this fragrance! It smells like what a nice cool air conditioner feels like on a hot day. It’s so fresh and refreshing! I love wearing this to the gym! It’s so fresh and yes!
kalif213 – :
I blind bought a 3.4 oz bottle of Glow because I’m a Jennifer Lopez fan, the bottle is so pretty, and based on the reviews I’ve read, it sounded like a fragrance I’d enjoy. I took a shower about an hour and a half ago with Ivory soap, unscented Aveeno shower gel, and moisturized my wet skin w/ baby oil. Once my skin was dry, I sprayed Glow on my normal application sites and immediately got sharp top notes of “lotion”-think Vaseline Instensive Care lotion in the white bottle or Nivea cream in the blue jar. Maybe a little Banana Boat sunscreen. But after about 10 minutes it dries down wonderfully to smell like clean and moisturized skin washed with Ivory soap. Its a little sweet, there’s a slight rosy-baby powder note in it too. Its pretty cool how the perfumers captured scent of washed and moisturized skin, because that’s exactly what J Lo’s Glow smells like! Right now I’m thinking of all the fragrances I can layer with Glow!
NastyaMalina – :
If you like that fresh laundry Just off the clothes line scent this is for you! It is pure and clean. Good after morning shower and even better after night time shower. It smells likes a fresh crisp white blouse looks! It lasts for hours and is great value for money. It can be hard to get in shops here in Dublin so am a little concerned it may be discontinued….Anyone have any idea if it is being discontinued???
ivan-2010 – :
For me it’s smell like something from the past.
When I smell this fragrance I think about women in early 1900s.
I don’t think there was fragrance like this during that period of time but Glow for me has old fashion sensation in it.
very soapy smell, not a fragrance I think Jennifer Lopez herself would wear
it’s smell like Lux rose soap.
you can call it classic or out dated
Kulban – :
This is my day at home scent, i have repurchased it countless times, smells like soap in a good way. Sandalwood is very top note and musk too. I don’t find it too floral, I’m not a fan of powdery rose, so I’m glad it doesn’t reek of floral laundry detergent like Chloe perfumery.
memento – :
I will always give credit where credit is due and I DO recognize this fragrance as an undeniable classic. However, that being said…it is not for me. JLO took a stab at a clean fragrance…much like a “second skin” type of scent…but the notes in this…come out of the bottle so….screechy…is the perfect word. It’s far too astringent and screechy. This is NOT a safe blind buy frag. A definite smell-before-you-buy perfume.
If I take it and use the absolute smallest spray possible on my wrist or something…I can find it pleasant enough…but that is not how I wear my fragrances. Anything more than that…to wear it as a fragrance should be worn spraying it on your neck, wrists, or clothing…it is just cloying and annoying to my nose. I have a 1 ounce bottle and I may start using it to spray on my clothes as I’m putting them in the dryer. Or spraying 1-2 sprays on my couch to give it a nice clean smell. For me…it’s better used with that type of purpose…as opposed to spraying it on my skin.
I see the direction JLO and the perfumers were going with Glow but in my opinion…Jennifer Aniston did it 10X better with Lolavie. Another example of a better scent in this same category…would be Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere. That’s an amazing, warm, cozy, “clean” perfume for anyone to use.
To end on a positive note…I must say that this frag aside…JLO’s perfume line as a whole has some amazing offerings such as Glowing, Miami Glow, and the women’s version of Deseo are all absolute loves for me. And if you’re someone who does like the original Glow…the good news is that it’s performance is awesome. 6-8 hours of longevity with projection of about 4-5 feet.
steadlyrhyday – :
A customer came in yesterday and asked for glow, I told her we would no longer be carrying it, she told me it was getting harder to find and she heard it was discontinued. There’s not really anything super similar cause glow is so unique. Today I go into belk and see Kenneth Cole has dropped a new women’s fragrance… I spray it on my hand and guess what it happens to smell like?? Jlo glow!! I had no idea Kenneth Cole dropped a new one, it hasn’t been added to fragrantica yet
It’s just called ‘Kenneth Cole for her’
igor640722 – :
This was my signature scent when it first came out when I was 14 and now at 29 I still think it’s nice and quite unusual,it’s fresh, sweet and recognisable.
FriendDestiny – :
It’s minus 5 here and snowing heavily. Today glow smells of Nivea cream on my skin . I only bought it in the sales so have not used it in summer but I’m loving this ultra clean even quite chilly perfume in this cold climate .
Demondim – :
This smells like washing powder. A nice, flowery one, but still washing powder. i don’t want to smell like soap, so this one is a no go for me.
fbibqllpoix – :
I have never been an avid fan of rose, nor any fresh, soapy floral… until now.
I live in the warm Australian climate, and it’s currently summer here; and let me tell you, as a lover of Angel, Narcisse and other rich oriental florals and vanillas, it’s a troubling time because wearing those scents, even sparingly, is cloying and overwhelming. I’ve always been enamoured by bold, loud fragrances that grabbed everyone’s attention, but there’s just something about Glow.
It’s a simplistic, inoffensive rose-neroli pas de deux laying beneath a gorgeous bed of white musk. It’s fresh white linen and unabashedly floral, yet there’s a distinctive rich oiliness, as though you crushed the petals of a bouquet of roses and white flowers beneath your fingertips, and beautiful underlying warmth here that is just so divine. I’m so glad I rediscovered this fragrance.
Intonsspore – :
I enjoy how this smells (especially the older formulation)…..HOWEVER, she blatantly ripped off Body Time/TerraNova’s China Rain perfume oil. Compared to that, Glow smells like a cheap imitation. Especially after it’s been on your skin for several hours.
If you like Glow, I suggest ordering China Rain from either Body Time or Terranova (they split from the same company and use the same oil). It’s so much better (doesn’t smell synthetic on dry-down), and much less expensive.
I was given Glow as a gift years ago. I won’t be repurchasing it; I will always get China Rain instead (because it’s better and because it is their intellectual property that J Lo copied).
Наглый Лис – :
I remember wearing this when it first came out. I remember enjoying it at a young age.
Fast forward to a year ago when I bought this –> Memories rushed back and to be honest, I didn’t really like it. It smelled like soap to me. I didn’t wear it too much.
Fast forward again to the present –> I really really like it! Will I repurchase once I’m through with my bottle? Probably. I typically don’t say I’ll repurchase, but this is something I can see repurchasing. It’s perfect post-shower to feel fresh and clean. I think it’s supposed to smell like a fresh woman’s body and I think it captures that pretty well. A musky rose, but it’s actually kind of difficult to pick out the individual notes.
Although I don’t necessarily wear this on its own, I find it now to be an invaluable layering tool for my wardrobe. It adds dimensions to many different fragrances I own or love. Specifically, this sprayed on before Petale Noir is amazing. Also, Rihanna’s Nude fragrance works well with this.
It’s a simple scent that’s comforting without sugary or amber notes.
I think the bottle is extremely cheap looking from the JLo jewelry to the plastic cap, but appearances aside, it doesn’t smell cheap. I find the color and the frosty glass to be fitting however. Almost like the glass of a shower door getting foggy during a shower (like the ad of Jennifer Lopez, I suppose).
If you don’t like straight up florals, you will NOT like this. Can be overwhelming if sprayed too much. A spray or 2 will do!
aerordHoome – :
First spray of Glow is strong..very soapy,green,and screetchy. It reminds me of Eternity by CK. I just cant tolerate this fragrance,no offense those who enjoy it. I have a headache,and Glow will have to go back tommorow.
Edit: I’ve repurchased this fragrance. I’ve been craving clean, fresh, soapy fragrances this summer. Lately I’ve been wearing Chloe edp, which is also a soapy floral, and I’ve been enjoying it . Hopefully Glow will work for me this time, as it is a much more inexpensive choice for daily wear.
Ericjediss – :
okey i think it is time for me to review this baby.i was looking for a dove bar soap scent and came across this one. some ppl said it smelled like dove but NOOO it smells like nivea in the blue jar that one with the thick consistency and there’s a big difference between nivea and dove
when i purchased it i chose the 30ml bottle because i was so scared of the roses smelling too old school for me
it was summer when i got it to be specific this is how i will put it:
in summer this is: nivea(blue jar)+orange blodsom+ roses(morroccan roses)
fall/winter:nivea(blue jar)+ roses(morroccan roses)
even if i am not a huge fan of roses this has became a conforting scent for me and i find my self craving it, i want to buy the 100ml bottle
sillage weak to moderate
lasting power 2 to 3 hours then close to skin
i cant see this as a date or work perfume but more something to spray after the shower before going to bed or on home clothes to feel more cozy
Tuerhjggh – :
This is a blatent dupe of Body Time’s “China Rain”. The original China Rain (which is far superior in my opinion) is a very, very clean, soapy (not a bad thing in this case), sharp and sensual fragrance. Not “sexy” per se. But sensual. Simple.
And so is J.Lo’s Glow… at first… The big difference between the two scents is the dry down, and this is ultimately what makes China Rain the true champion. J.Lo’s version transforms into a synthetic, plasticy mess. It’s as if Glow is masquerading around as China Rain but as time passes the mask falls off and you see it, or smell it, for what it really is. A sad knock off of a masterpiece.
China Rain on the other hand doesn’t transform into anything. It just stays China Rain throughout. Now I know some folks have a problem with that and they like their fragrances to go through the typical stages; the first act, second act, final curtain, etcetera… But China Rain is a different animal. You WANT it to stay what it is.
If you like Glow, please, please, please do yourself a favor and get your hands on a bottle of China Rain. The original China Rain is available as an (extreeeeemly concentrated) oil but it’s also available as a pretty strong cologne spray for only about 20 dollars.
Note: If you like these kinds of mega-clean fragrances, you might want to look into Creed’s “Love in White”. It’s basically a much more grown up version of Glow but be warned: it’s very expensive!
kac9 – :
Ive reviewed this already i think. But i have been wearing it a lot lately and thought Ide add a bit more to my review on this one.
It reminds me of the summer i got it as a chrissy present, about 5 years ago. Ide wear it on scorching hot days and it would intensify in the warm weather. I dont get much rose, just a lot of jasmine, citrus and the clean fresh smell everyone’s talking about. It lasts a long time for a celeb scent. I went through it in about 2 years the first time round and when I ordered another bottle this year it didnt smell different to me, it just took me back to that carefree summer.
I dont really pay much attention to celebrities and never really let my feelings towards them influence my opinion on their fragrance lines but Jennifer lopez is one of the few that i admire; she seems to radiate passion and zest for life in her music and dance and it seems to reflect in her perfumes, i have three from the glow line and they’re all uplifting, sweet happy fragrances. I have too many perfumes to wear all the time but this is one of my signatures that i think I’ll always have.
RaSTa_FaR_I – :
I can see why its popular, and depending on skin chemistry it could work. Not on me, its very chemical, cleaning solution, possibly bug spray. Sadly…
hop-hey-la-la – :
I had a chance to test this today
Oh why?! Oh why?! Didn’t I just buy it?!
I cant stop smelling the back of my hand
Its so lovely
I think im going to have to go back and buy it tomorrow
Its perfect for spring weather
The dry down is a pretty white floral musk
Its so fresh and clean smelling
almolleda – :
Absolute femininity. For me Glow is intense powdery floral scent, very strong on musk, roses and sandalwood. There is hint of something retro, maybe lily of the valley or lavender. But I can see it as popular perfume even now, because there are always girls who like Chloe and Clean brands. I call it strong, because it lasts on me all day. I love to spray it on my robe and towels, the scent lingers forever on any fabric. Usually I wear it at home because of soothing effect. I think in childhood I used soap smelling like this. Now I match it with Dove body wash Silk Glow.
alexey1963 – :
this was the second bottle I ever bought for myself with my own cash. I remember I was in a department store just doing some random errands. The bottle caught my eye because of the cute charm. I took a sniff, and then sprayed some on my arm and was instantly in love. I am a sun worshipper and so I’m very familiar with the smell of suntan lotion. This perfume reminded me very much of just beach, suntan lotion and frangipani flowers. I really liked it and wore the crap out of the charm as an anklet.
Марина09 – :
This scent is so nostalgic for me. It was my “go-to” in high school.
dan_podo – :
This is one of those scents that I thought I loved and needed for a fresh, energetic, sunny day but by the time I got done with the whole bottle a few years later… I wouldn’t buy it again.
Eventually, it came to smell a bit antiseptic to me. Less like soap as its own character, but more like soap as a result of trying to get rid of another smell. A little stiff, a little cold. It’s a scent that is pleasant, but hangs alongside you instead of forming to you. It’s a bit like looking at a warm jacket on a hanger and appreciating it as an idea instead of putting it on and having it trap your own body heat. Not the best example since there is nothing warm here, but my mind for analogy is limited.
koreolks – :
This smells like you just washed your body with Dove original. Very identical smell. If you are not into white florals powdery scents, don’t blind buy this.
Aleksandrus – :
Jasmin and musk! These two notes are very strong. They’re complimented by the soft rose and other white florals. I like the hint of citrus peeping trough. It’s a clean scent in a soapy, powdery way. It becomes too much on my skin after a few minutes. The other notes disappear completely and I’m left smelling like a white soap bar.
dashenkakukolk – :
A very well done soapy white floral. Excellent for a celebrity fragrance. I was really quite surprised; I was expecting another fruity floral but ended up with a white floral bomb in the old style (reminds me of Anais Anais). Not really complex but quite enjoyable. I may be adding this to my collection, which will bring the number of Jennifer Lopez fragrances to 3. She’s done a great job with her fragrances!
bunker123 – :
I really like Jennifer Lopez and admire her artistry but I dislike this perfume. It’s awful. Awful! Glow does not smell good to me. It smells like some sort of cleaner and it has a very sour note to it. I’m now using it as an air freshener in our laundry room and I run out and shut the door behind me so I don’t have to smell it. I cannot stand the smell of this Glow perfume. I wouldn’t accept it if they gave it to me for free – that bad!
selik – :
Just smells extremely soapy to me. Not a fan of this one.
LenaLipa – :
Finally tried this today…
Nope. Not for me.
I think it’s the grapefruit that leaves a sour note on my skin.
Farecoolbor – :
Sunscreen rose! I can see why Glow is a polarizing fragrance, but personally I love it. Fortunately, I get none of the weird chemical notes folks seem to be reporting – just very pronounced skin musk and sunscreen-rose-jasmine. One of my favorite scents is that coppertone water babies sunscreen, which for me is the nostalgic, quintessential distillation of summertime happiness, all sunshine and the promise of swimming and relaxation. Glow has that bright, yet gentle summer vibe for me, but with a grown-up musky floral kick which I absolutely adore. It’s an aptly-named warm fragrance that never becomes totally overbearing in the summer heat on my skin (a rarity), and for that, it’s a keeper. Glow might not be a diva, but she is a low-key lovely, intimate, summery, and inviting scent when applied judiciously.
kanibal – :
This was the 2nd fragrance I ever purchased. In high school I was a HUGE JLO fan. She’s still cool but the only thing I keep up with now are her fragrances. I was really excited to see her come out with a fragrance at the time. I loved it but had moved on in the years to come. I saw the large 3.4oz bottle on sale for $8.99 so why not! I remembered how much I liked it so I got it again over a decade later. I still LOVE it. It’s as if you just got out of a fresh shower. It’s fresh, quality soap smell, inviting non-offensive. I love this for spring/summer or all year around before hitting the gym. It has that I’m sporty but still fresh allure. I haven’t smelled anything similar to this. It’s an original and a keeper. As far as celebrity fragrances an over saturated market. Jennifer Lopez is up there with the true labels and designers. I’m not usually into florals but this is truly amazing. If you need a gym scent this is it.

Soapy skin musk with a plastic doll head vibe to it. The soap smells like white ivory bar soap and this gives it a “dated” feel to it. I find this fragrance a bit much even when I’m in the mood for shower fresh smells. Jlo Still is a better , more elegant fresh clean scent.

This was another impulse purchase, but one that I’d already smelled so it wasn’t a let down or anything. This can be found for a reasonable enough price that id say it’s okay to blind buy this, if soapy clean smells are your thing. I don’t know a whole lot about florals to know which ones I’m smelling exactly, but the soapy almost powdery softness of this scent I know is because of the floral notes that were used to create it. Because I already have a few soapay/clean scents in my wardrobe I realized that purchasing the 3.4oz size was probably a mistake, as it also lasts a pretty good amount of time and the sillage is buildable with more sprays= more stronger the scent is. You can’t go wrong with it, but if you’re already familiar with soapy floral smells this won’t be anything groundbreaking.

This fragrance is straight up jasmine… it is really tru… the one thing that you don’t like is the one that you feel the most in a fragrance…

Most of what has been said about this scent is generally true: clean as soapiness or a fabric softener, musk and neroli combo, similar to some perfume oils (they usually have the name such as “china musk” ), has good staying power… Here’s what a sweet perfume fan has to say: I need this scent! It’s a savior when you need to smell not perfumey but clean and somewhat floral. I need it to cleanse my scent palette after all those sugary fragrances get mixed up and overwhelm me, and I get lost in my sweet olfactory wardrobe. Now – Glow is not plain, it’s sexy. It’s not a buttoned up white shirt – it’s a white fashion
