Description
Jennifer Lopez launches her new fragrance in collaboration with Coty. JLuxe, which comes out in Spring 2015, belongs to the same line as its predecessor Jlove from 2013. Inspired by Jennifer’s fierce fashion presence, this scent supposedly transmits confidence and femininity.
The composition is fruity-floriental, opening with a juicy blend of bergamot, raspberry and pineapple. A luxurious floral bouquet of violet, damask rose, ylang-ylang and iris root forms the heart of the perfume, while the sensual and warm base captures layers of amber, cedar and musk. Veronica Casanova Marano from IFF is behind this creation.
The bottle design and packaging, signed by Jennifer Lopez and Jon Dinapoli from Coty, are inspired by the singer’s love for fashion, luxury and animal prints. The opaque, square black bottle is decorated with a transparent cap with black and gold zebra print. The promotional poster was shot by Matthias Vriens McGrath.
The fragrance is available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

This is an ok one in my book, it’s not my favorite jlo scent but I don’t dislike it. I have it but don’t find myself reaching for it as much as her glow, live, jlove or jlust I like the amber in this kind of reminds me of Jadore lore in a way. The bottle is cute and fun, I don’t smell any fruit, just the floral and amber for me

“She’s sex on a stick”..is what I thought of when I first smelled this…Sexy, sultry, hot date night out. Hot summer night dancing the night away in the club…ROAR!!!
(Half) kidding aside, I actually kinda like this. Though oddly enough, I did not like this when I smelled the spray tester bottle in Kohls when this was first released, but they had a rollerball version on clearance for $4+change, so I caved. I actually like this in rollerball version, it is not as cloying nor as synthetic to my nose/on my skin as the spray version seemed to be.
Note-wise, oh boy..I would say amber, for sure, the rose note I also definitely pick up, as well as the iris, and then the orris, musk and cedar round this out for me. I really do not pick up the pineapple nor raspberry notes. This is not sweet on me at all. The bergamot note is also MIA. There is no freshness at all to this for me.
All in all, great for a hot date or a summer evening out. Longevity, the little rollerball that could, lasts a good 8+hours on me, so you will likely still smell this on your skin “the morning after”, hahaha! 😀 Kidding aside again, longevity is tremendous. Sillage is moderate to possibly a bit heavy, but not so heavy to the point where this enters the room before you do. Not an everyday frag for me, but for $4, it’s a fun little addition to my collection/hoard/stash/whatever you want to call it.

This is a power house hidden gem If you find it get it ! smells a lot like I Am Juicy it has the strong amber , sweet and fruity aroma .
SS = Spray Strength
1 SS = 3-4 hrs
The first spray stays pretty constant smelling doesn’t turn on you.

This smells AMAZING. Who has a unused bottle that they’re willing to sell to me for a reasonable price?

Hmm, I bought a 3 piece set of this blindly and yes it was a mistake. I thought because I own and live most of the Glow flankers that I would love this too based on the description alone but it didn’t work on my skin. It dies smell fruity and a little amvery although I didn’t get any powder from it. It’s not bad it’s just something I’ve smelled time and time before . I think JLO is running out of ideas for her fragrance creations. Or she sees it as easy money and doesn’t put any time or effort into it anymore.

Was at Kohl’s and tried a tester and fell in love, but they were all out of bottles and would not sell me the tester, lol, so I ordered on ebay and am very happy I did! 🙂 Very sexy/sultry scent! I Love it!

I just got this in a holiday set with a 1 oz perfume, 2.5 oz body lotion and 2.5 oz shower gel. It took me a minute to realize not only had I smelled this before but I already have it in my collection. This smells a LOT like Jennifer Lopez’s Wild Glow. Not exactly a dupe, there are very minor differences but the two scents are indeed very similar. So if you already have Wild Glow , you can save your money,unless you want a very similar version of the same scent. This is not the first time JLO has repeated herself within her scent wardrobe. She did this already with Rio Glow and Live Platinum. Another example of same scent, different bottle.

Felt like I was being beaten over the head with a stinky sickly sweet pineapple. Gave me a headache and I can wear fracas and truth or dare no problem. I’m sad to say I’m not a fan of this.

I am reviewing the body mist. This scent is very fruity and ambery so if ur into fruity- amber scents like amber romance from Vs you may like this a lot. I love it. i want to try the perfume and i think it will be worth the money spent. When i first spray it i immediately get a sweet rasberry and pineapple..not sour or tart at all wbich is nice, than the amber comes through and makes it creamy and te flowers make it fresh. i love this. im really surprised this doesnt have more reviews positive ones
jemal21 – :
Underestimated this scent, its gorgeous.
I think its similar to La vie best belle but softer.
A base of smooth amber with orris and violet creating a powdery softness and fruits adding sweetness but not too much. Its not sour either thankfully.
I smell bergamot too which brightens up the whole scent.
If you want something a lot softer than LVEB minus the patchouli, try this.

I got JLuxe as a sample in a swap and I am very grateful for it! I put some on while unpacking and a few hours later I keep sniffing my wrist. JL is all about violet, soft amber mixed with musk, soft rose and a hint of cedar to me. I cannot single out the fruits in this. To my nose, it has a slight resemblance to the original Tocade but much, much softer. I really have to get a bottle of the new Tocade now…JLuxe is wonderfully soft and feminine and with Glowing the second JLo scent that I can wear – what I have sampled of her scents so far is way to soapy for me. Despite the softness the scent lingers nicely with wafts enveloping me as I go about my day. I have to get a full bottle of this, that’s for sure!
Edit: Today I’m wearing JLuxe on my clothes and the fruits are coming through. I like this as much as what I am getting when wearing it on my skin. I smell the tangy fruits imbedded in the same lovely amber, rose, musk and cedar combo that wafted of my wrist yesterday. This all very well blended and puts a smile on my face every time I catch a whiff. Very nicely done indeed!

I had been wanting to purchase this but could never find it locally. I finally happened upon it in Kmart and they had a tester! I sprayed it on my wrist then continued shopping. At first it was very sweet, almost cloyingly so for me, then as it mellowed out I began enjoying it more but after about ten minutes of this enjoyable stage it changed and then I kept smelling a burnt hairspray smell. I’m so glad I didn’t blind buy! It may work wonderfully on someone else’s skin though

Nice for one second, then the masculine, ultra-fizzy scent envelops. If you like Halle Berry Closer or Faith Hill’s Soul to Soul, you’ll like this.
Update: Drydown is heavy like SJP Covet.

This review is completely different than others!
I recently smelled this perfume and wore it for a day on my skin and clothes. I did buy a smaller bottle on sale . I normally don’t go for fruity florals , but I like this one. I finally figured out why –
It reminds me a lot of a body mist I really enjoyed years ago – BBW Tokyo Lotus and Apple Blossom. Call me crazy , but its a lot like it after the dry down. ( but I don’t see apple listed on the notes.
I also smell some pineapple… but I smell a lot of grapefruit ( also not listed ). Really nice. its a classy fruity floral.

Spent WAY more than wanted here. But it was the only one missing from my collection. I constantly underestimate JLO for some reason, only to stand corrected. Am no fan of Amber, per se. I like it fine in perfume but do not seek it out. Here is a nice surprise. Amber is the dominant note but in JLuxe I find it very appealing. JLO does her magic “clean” up and found myself making an exception where I’d wear this as my preferred Amber scent. That says a lot. Also love what she does with pineapple. Was it worth $50? No. Am I glad I bought it? Yes.

JLuxe starts with a juicy-sweet blast at the beginning which is intense, glamorous, and short-lived. Is this pineapple and bergamot causing all the excitement? It shortly gives way to sweet, powdery heart of iris root, violet, rose….Hard to tell individual notes since it all becomes vague floral fruity here.
This Jlo perfume has the same powder sweet quality that Forever Glowing has, but they don’t share any official notes which makes me wonder why? Maybe they just poured in the patented Jlo liquid base, which is lovely. I’m not harshing on it for this, and I really love Forever Glowing, but it has spice and leather, where JLuxe seems fruitier with soft amber and subtle cedar woods.
But they have the same sweet, lovely powder effect. I really wish the special juicy opening lasted longer, but the body of this fragrance is really sweet and powdery. Quite lovely, lasting around 5 hours before softly trailing away.

I like some of Jennifer Lopez’ fragrances. I think Deseo was one of her best and I am actually searching for another bottle.
I smelled JLuxe at Kohls and it is ambery and sexy sweet. And it is a very good smell.
It has a sexy tone to it without being overwhelming stinky. It is not fruity sweet, don’t smell pineapple, which I cannot stand on fragrances
For those of us that like this kind of scent, it is a nice choice
the bottle design is blah, it almost disappears in the counter at Kohls
Will definitely purchase if available at a discount ( I believe that there are some coupon specials now because of Mothers’ day, May 2016)

This is one of her BEST! She have a new fragrance coming out soon! “JLUST” It sounds like it will be heavy, dark and sexy!

I wasn’t going to write anything about this fragrance since I didn’t get a chance to know it well, but I see so few reviews I feel compelled to put my thoughts up here to help out someone who is trying to decide if this is worth a blind buy. So apologies in advance for this not being the most detailed; let’s not think of it as a review, so much as my first impression.
I tried this on at a local Kohl’s since it had a lot of notes I tend to like. I was, frankly, a bit disappointed by it; it’s a very typical sweet, ambery fruity-floral, and when I asked my husband for his thoughts, he said it smelled cheap. Now, I’m not one to typically classify scents as “smells expensive” or “smells cheap”, and I have scents I love across all price points, but you must understand it’s even more unusual for HIM to classify a scent as “cheap”. He doesn’t even say that about things from Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, or other fragrances that are literally more inexpensive than this one. Now, let me try to pick apart what cheap means in this context: the notes were very hard to distinguish from one another, it just smelled like a sweet, musky mess. There was no depth, and it did have a bit of a cloying, “high pitched” feel to it, rather than the depth that many other scents have. I’m attributing that to a high volume of inexpensive/ synthetic ingredients. It never really settled in or developed into something more interesting or composed. Maybe it would fare better on different body chemistry, or smell more at home on a teenage girl, but this was my experience with it.
My final impression was that this is a scent I’d pick up if I found it for around $15 to wear on casual days, scent lotion, etc… but it’s not something I’d invest $50 into; I just don’t think the quality reflects that price tag. It wasn’t offensive or awful, and I think the bottle is cute, but it had more in common with the notes I’d expect to find in a body spray than a perfume.

Hi, I have been searching for this perfume in UK but am unable to find it. Can anyone tell me a UK place I can get this from. Thank you xxx
Liafok – :
I just got this, and Jluxe reminds me of a toned down, Heat by Beyonce, they are both under Coty, so I’m not that surprised. The Amber is very intensive, but not as harsh as it is in Heat. I also can detect Pineapple, Violet and Cedarwood, but that’s it. This perfume is just ok for me, and isn’t worth $49. I would wait to get it cheaper. This isn’t a Summer perfume anyway, I think it’s more of a Fall perfume during the evening time. Overall I give this perfume a 7/10.

Looks like this is live on the Kohl’s web site. If you want to order it, I see it there for about $49 for a 1.7 oz spray. This has been on my wish list for a while.

Has anyone heard anything about this/ the website for it was taken down 🙁 I hope it was not canceled.

Does anyone know the release date for this fragrance?
Dima0402 – :
Encapulating the sizzilating luxuriance that IS Jennifer Lopez, JLUXE opens with a dripping slap of pineapple, raspberry, and cling peach snack cup. Middle notes are a floral bouquet purchased hastily at the corner market, along with a bottle of Yellow Tail Merlot and a box of condoms. Big, fat base notes include amber, musk, root beer and a touch of nail polish remover. All wrapped up for your delight in a shiny version of your Nana’s muumuu. JLUXE says, in scent, what Jennifer’s heart longs to tell us: “Here’s my leg!”

I cannot wait until I actually get this perfume, its really exciting. Will be getting this straight away x
ValeKAZ – :
I am SO EXCITED for this one! I loved JLOVE! The bottle design is so cute for both of them! I am hoping that this comes to Kohls stores in the USA just like JLOVE did! I want to go in and test it!
