tomukas – :
Sweet, Pure, Innocent with a slight musk note that draws you in – in a very introverted, shy way.
This is for cozy hugs with someone that you adore.
This whispers rather than shouts…
My initial feeling – was this is a soft, watered-down version of My Insolence.
This is a softer, less tropical, less fruity— more classic version of Jennifer Lopez’s JLove. This is in the same family as Jennifer Aniston’s Dusk– only Dusk is slightly more natural and beachy than Light and Love. If you really LOVE Light and Love – you should try the others that I just mentioned, you may find some flanker fragrances to use for different moods – in this same family.
I love the bottle –
This bottle reminds me of the original bottle that Rare Pearls was in. I love the softly iridescent pearlescent glow and how the light interplays and sparkles on the bottle. The womanly curves look like a luminescent version of an Academy Award – only in the feminine form.
This is graceful, elegant, classic, refined, and cozy.
I feel that this could become a new signature scent — as long as it lasts quite awhile on my skin. So far, so good. I’m impressed – and like it better the second day that I’ve worn this – than the first. It is definitely growing on me! Which is a GOOD Thing!
This has a place in your wardrobe if you attend meetings, movies, are around the public – but do not want a fragrance that takes over the room. This is quiet, demure – but still very attractive.
There is a slight sparkle aroma to the skin as the musk notes dance on top of the skin. This is peacefully playful. I can certainly see why she named it “Light and Love” because this name resonates perfectly with the fragrance chemistry!
Good job Jennifer Lopez!
I’ve just now discovered her fragrances – and so far, I’m VERY IMPRESSED! This far surpasses my celebrity fragrance expectations! You really have a “nose” for creating some great fragrances! Keep it up! There are many more fragrances for you to discover!
You are definitely on the right track with Light and Love and Jennifer Lopez JLove! Can’t wait to try GLOW next!
DeadPunk – :
Wearing this for !the first time ever! And I’ve had it for nearly a year. I’m taking strength from forum topic regarding slow buy and no buy, since I have pretty much TOO MANY fragraces now, and really, I shouldn’t buy when I have too many unused already.
That being said, this is so lovely and unusual! And perfect for a warm spring day like I am enjoying today. I’ve said this before, JLo really does musk so perfectly. Enough to stand out but never too much and same with the patch here, it’s twinning with the musk in perfect proportion. Those wary of patch, this is not overbearing.
The fruits and flowers are blended in such a way as to be hard to identify individually but I do detect rose and citrus up front. The praline makes its’ showing last of all on the drydown.
And of course, the lovely, classy bottle of the opalescent woman’s figure with the pretty (non cheap looking plastic) clear and gold top. All this and for the very modest price, this is all round a winner for me. Glad to have this!
nazarslava – :
I get the apricot, praline & patchouli most.
This is a gorgeous, sophisticated, womanly scent! To my nose it’s powdery❤️
I went through a 75ml bottle, and quickly bought another, glad I did because this is so hard to find in Australia now.
Jen definitely surprises me with how good her fragrances are. I’m giving this a solid
10/10
Amongst all the perfumes I own, nothing can compare to this. It’s different it’s amazing.
Try it if you can find it. So sexy, and won’t let you down!
Longevity: 6 hours.
daniil1104 – :
Its like a exotic rainforest
Musky exotic and soft floral
Realy lovely
The lasting power is 6 hours
The silage is amazing
attarientaist – :
For me, this is a strong like, and almost love. It’s very surprising and delicious. Never would have expected this from a low-priced celebrity fragrance. The dry-down is especially dreamy…Very sweet patchouli. Along with patchouli, I smell praline, musk, and red currant. This doesn’t come across as being overly masculine. It leans slightly in that direction, but in a good way. Sillage and longevity are moderate/decent.
lord52 – :
Maybe I just have very high standards for lasting power, but I found it to be weak-moderate in that category. That being said the lasting power is good considering the price. As for the scent, I like it but don’t love it. I’m a huge fan of sweet patchouli based fragrances and this is a lighter daytime take on those.
azibul – :
So I have been with Fragrantica for a few years and have had the pleasure to learn about and try all kinds of perfumes from high end to drug store classics. This one is truly amazing. I had it stashed away and forgot about it when I wanted something different for cooler weather and pulled this one out.
Jennifer Lopez perfumes do not disappoint. Honestly this one is just a beauty and the lasting power is very good. I have bottles of $175 perfumes that under perform this in many ways. Without reviewing the notes I get a happy scent. Something that is different enough to turn heads and make people want to ask what it is , and not popular enough to totally be recognized in a crowd. That’s what I love about it. I don’t care to smell like everyone out there.
rusik36 – :
Blind bought this because I trust Jennifer Lopez fragrances to be wonderful. This didn’t disappoint. Amazing drydown with lasting power. I can’t stress enough that her fragrances don’t have that cheap artificial chemical smell and I really appreciate that. It’s high end quality without the price.
Pro100Favorit – :
Love and Light is an underrated beauty. It’s unusual. I have a hard time expressing just why I love it so much- !
It is musky, sweet, dense, and almost greenly sour with a tangy pomegranate bite. Then the patchouli! This is by far the most charming patchouli I’ve ever met in a perfume. The way it mixes with the fuzzy musk, sweet toffee, and sour fruit makes Love and Light mouthwatering.
At the same exact time, the noses that created this used a clean musk and citrus that gives it an almost clean/fresh vibe so to me, it never feels cloying or too heavy. This is so glam and feels like luxury. Sounds confusing, like too much going on, but it is blended so well it just really works!
The curvy shimmery opalescent light green bottle is the perfect visual representation of the juice inside. Lasts over 10 hours- another big plus. Patchouli lovers should try this one.
коляныч1 – :
I keep spraying and trying this on, trying to find something that redeems it. I HATED Patchouli up until I was around 32(YES, I AM OLD) and then lo and behold, Almost EVERY fragrance I found that I enjoyed had Patchouli in it! GOOD FOR ME YEAH! However, as I keep KEEP trying on finding ONE celebrity fragrance that I enjoy and is worth the TIME to wear, the patchouli in this fragrance is not on my good side. I do a lot of purchasing and selling of fragrances, so it is safe to say I own more than 200 bottles of different kinds, flankers, etc, I have yet to find a J Lo one I can handle. Well, Off to try another one and hope to find a winner.
nicolette278 – :
Between the two sister fragrances, I feel like the names got mixed up. This definitely should have been “Love & Glamour..” I feel entirely glamorous wearing this, very elegant and classy. Can easily pass as a high end fragrance. The patchouly and musk is thick and very strong…because of that, I wear this in the evening. Sillage monster, a little goes a long way!!
The light fruits & florals give this fragrance a slight “make up-y” scent/vibe..completing the image of a deep, sexy and sultry WOMAN. I’m so used to Jlo’s soapy/clean fragrances, I can’t imagine her wearing something complex like this.
Yes, there’s nothing glamorous about “Love & Glamour”… it’s very “Light”, clean and soapy..and it’s lovely for a casual day out. It doesn’t last long, especially compared to “Love & Light”.
Ariana_fromAD – :
One of best friends gave me this as a Christmas present and I was like ooooh yeah! I love my other JLo fragrances that I have (not GLOW that much though I have to say)…So I opened it and wooola! This is an AMAZING scent!
I have gotten compliments on from people and my husband, who asked me what was I wearing and I said Jennifer Lopez’s Love and Light – he said “I really like that! Smells so nice!”
She gave me the 1 ounce bottle…WEll let me just say that I WILL MOST DEFINITELY be purchasing this again and really trying for the BIG BOTTLE! 🙂 This is going to be a staple in my fragrance wardrobe for as lonnnnggggg as I can still get this awesome perfume!
In my opinion (at least on me), it last ALL DAY LONG INTO THE NIGHT. The projection is in within my space and then some – it surrounds me with an air of JOY – and my “air” as I walk as I have gotten the compliments as mentioned.
The fragrance is not sweet per se…it’s very fresh and clean with a hint of yummy sweetness that I catch whiffs of here and there (nothing over powering by far). I definitely smell lots of floral. It’s all in a good way!!! I’m not a big white floral perfume person, but somehow the way this is mixed is perfectly balanced.
Like I said, will buy this again and again and again infinitely 🙂
Lamavoi – :
This was a pleasent surprise! The scent and the bottle are a contrast and even the name. Love&Light and sheer shimmery green tone on the bottle but the scent is deep and musky but not masculine, i’m in love!!! i would possibly get a 1.7oz of this in the future.
Salvador_Sanches – :
I agree with others that have said they didn’t care for the Love and Glamour. It isn’t awful, it isn’t offensive…it’s just not really worth a tiddly poop.
I read the reviews before purchasing blind. I saw mention of this being close to Deseo. Also it was mentioned this is similar to an Avon one by Reese Witherspoon…Love to the Fullest. Both statements are true. Comparisons and descriptions lead me to a wonderful blind buy.
I think of the three, Deseo and Love to the Fullest would be more easily worn by a man than Love and Light.
Love and Light is the sweeter of the three, but yet not REAL sweet. It’s got a touch of the smoky note that Glow after Dark has. It’s not nearly as strong, but it’s there…at least to my nose.
This is a scent you can blind buy if you read the reviews here, and make a good judgement call. I’m very happy. The only thing that might have not agreed with my nose was the pomegranate. I like pomegranate, but was afraid of something so tangy with such sweetness. It doesn’t show it’s zippy punch to my nose.
Everything is blended and likeable. This is pretty modern to my nose. I get nothing mature from this. Anyone can wear it, but’s not old school at all. If you end up not liking this, you won’t be out much. I’m sure you’ll find someone that will take this off your hands!
Love this scent! It’s a true “sexy sweet” scent!
tartrich – :
I have Love, Light and Glamour and I felt it was a major dud. At least in my opinion. It was a greenish floral with some fruit notes and I was not into it at all. It was not repulsive but meh.
However, I read one reviewer who didn’t care for Love, Light and Glamour but she liked this. Next thing I know, I seen this at TJ Maxx for 8 dollars, so no brainer.
Let me say-what a difference between the two! I love Love and Light! It has very interesting top fruity note(pomegranate I guess) but it doesn’t smell generic or common. And then, even though it supposed to have Jasmine and rose, it smells more like tiara flower and coconut. This is very tropical which I never thought it would be. But its a pleasant surprise.
Lasting power is good as well-couple of sprays lasted several hours so I am not complaining and for 8 dollars, this is awesome!
Lot of times I wear two fragrances at the time and I paired this one with Royal Hawaiian Tuberose perfume and Victoria Secret Sexy Now 2016 which is greenish coconut
But trust me, tuberose together with this is a sure winner
Юлия24 – :
You’ll need to appreciate patchouli to get along with this because it is *strong* on the patch, but that’s part of the attraction for me.
This fragrance feels warm, dark and a little spicy. There’s a tiny splash of fruit in the opening and then it becomes a woody floral where the main player is sweet, musky patchouli. The jasmine is rich but stays in the background. I don’t really smell the praline or the apricot. While I wouldn’t say it’s a fruity fragrance, in the summer I notice a little tartness, possibly from the pomegranate.
ETA: I much prefer this one over Love and Glamour and I agree that they should’ve swapped the bottles.
fraerVasya – :
OK firstly it is spring and I suppose I may need to come back to this fragrance for, to me, it stands as a fall/winter scent.
I do like it, though I think the time of year is off.
The patchouli is so almost overwelming to me… But under that you can smell Almond Joy or Mounds bar. Coconut and chocolate with a odd but likeable patchouli laid on top. Hmm. I will revisit it during the fall and see for sure. 🙂

~Review
Love and Light. Facts first. I resisted JLO fragrances and was one who criticized for all the flankers of glow .. you know, glow one more. glow enough already.
I tried the original Glow and pretty much ignored it. Here is how quality can work sometimes. You find yourself returning.. since then, All the Glow Flankers have been purchased! Happy with each and every one. Also have a few from other groups and really appreciate that Jennifer Lopez has more than just floral fruity in her line. Here we have her second Floral Woody Musk. I love Deseo. To me, Love and Light is, well, lighter. What I have learned is I love a lighter musk, a clean and soapy musk. It’s a paradox really, something clean that is meant to be dirty. The patchouli here is marvelous, adding just the right sharpness to Love and Light. That praline doesn’t turn it too sweet but gives it a sweetness required to pull it all together into something quite fragrant. Strengths here could also be considered weaknesses depending on needs/preferences. JLO tends to be very inoffensive and office-friendly. Frankly, that is why I had to return to her original and then went ape shit with all the others. I am back in an office so I need to wear a L&L, not a Chanel no.5 – finally – This is like others where at times I thought they are too light and don’t last. Now I think it may be my skin chemistry needing time to interact with a perfume sometimes and my nose to also get acquainted before I can make a real judgement. Truth is, I find these soapy clean dirty mildly sweet JLO fumes actually last for hours. Enjoy!
awgaw1 – :
This is beautiful.
Reminds me of Deseo but you know how Deseo is more tropical, Well this is more of a musky, sour, slightly floral fragrance.
It’s very likable.
Kind of delicate. The name love and light definitely does it justice.
Perfect longevity and sillage.
MaioZird – :
Very fruity. Very mouthwatering. I get a fair amount of coconut. (?)
Orange is the mouthwatering element . So is the rest of the vitamin C
family…..Hence the sour affect as well.
Overall a nice running errands , picking kids from school , going to the gym scent.
No disappointment on this blind buy.
This is for the younger audience . 🙂
Edit: the jasmine makes is way through noticebly in the evening time . Just like the real thing. Pretty impressive !
only_julia01 – :
I just got a large bottle of this, and it’s as nice as what I remembered from a prior testing. I can smell this wafting around me during the day, and it seems to have pretty decent lasting power. Much, much better than Deseo, which I also have, but can’t wear.
I find this perfume to be sexy, and definitely not a typical, mass produced fruity floral. It’s really nice for a celebrity scent, but I’m not a celebrity scent hater anyways. I’ve found I like a lot of celebrity scents better than some of my way more expensive perfumes like Narcisco Rodriguez, which I also have issues with wearing, and it is not cheap!
My husband said it was nice too, which is a big plus for me.
88888 – :
This scent starts off as a smart citrus, I got these nuances along with the apricot loud and clear – which gives a sweet note. Then the fragrance mellows into a slightly synthetic smell that I realize now is the “chocolate note,” as if you sprayed perfume on the fabric near one’s armpit. The dry down is whisper, perhaps a tad powdery?
It’s a good perfume – there is nothing offensive about it. Somehow, even though I appreciate gourmand I tend to avoid perfumes boasting of chocolate notes because it smells fake. To those who love “Love and Light” power to you!
таняяна – :
Got this for my 35th birthday, it’s okay opening seems to copy T M Innocent,with the dry down going to a stronger version of Essence of United Colors of Benetton. As I already have those two I returned it to the discounter ( with Ellen by Ellen Tracy ) and got a box set of Queen Latifah instead. I may eventually rebuy this but probably only a mini size as I actually found it slightly nauseating when applied before breakfast .
Editing to add that Love and Light seems to be quite similar to Swarovski Aura. Aura may be a few notches better in blend and ingredients but very close smell alikes.
rim428intitytek – :
I was really anticipating to test the Love&Light on my skin. At first, the sniff from the bottle was little off putting, perhaps because of it’s sharpness when smelled raw, without the body chemistry. I gave it a go on my wrists first. All I could whiff was the patchouli, but not the ‘manly’ patchouli, more like a posh soap type. I kept smelling my wrists (and forcing my workmates to sniff it too) hoping that I get someone to scent the lush fruit in the top notes, but all I could get (from myself and others) was ‘a bit like a citrus fruit’, a bit dissapointing. So I splashed it under my top (and in the corners) to see how it develops ‘all over’. I must admit, this one is intriguing! It starts kind of ‘oldish’ off-putting (esp straight from the bottle) it strikes your skin like a cobra, changing its strength and sillage to wrap you up like a boa. That smell lingers on! I choose my perfume based on what mood I am, what am I gonna do and what I feel like to wear on the day. This fragrance suits me when I’m wearing my suit for work, but I have to apply it early enough so it matures and wears off before I get the urge to call in sick. After that, it just turns into this musky, warm, confident smell.
Edit: now I can scent the apricot! Finally! Took me a while, different outfits and different weather, and I can just about to whiff it! Still (for me) it needs to develop first with my body heat, and finally, when the patchouli settles closer to the skin it lets the ‘fleshy’ fruit out. It’s not a fresh accent to the scent (not for me anyway), but more like a sweet, warm whiff, quite sexy really. By the time I get it the sillage is nearly gone, hiding close under my garments. It makes me wonder, what scent do I project during the day? And yeah, that’s what I like about it 🙂 I’m liking this one now way more than when I first got it. What a pleasant surprise 🙂

Love & Light!
One of my favorite fragrances ever, without a doubt!
I can’t even begin to explain how much I LOVE this fragrance, but I’m gonna try.
I really wanted this fragrance as soon as it came out. I already had Love & Glamour, and still do. I wasn’t really blown away by it so I didn’t really know what to expect from LL. But I knew just by the notes that I would love it a lot more.
It took for ages to get this one! I live in Amsterdam and while its relatively easy to find JLo fragrances, mainly online, and for excellent prices may I add. It always takes a while for the new ones to arrive. Lucky for me, I have the best brother in law who goes a lot on business trips and America is one of the places he travels to at least 3 times a year, so he’s always kind enough to buy me lots of Jennifer Lopez fragrances and products, and the newest one from Kohls each time he’s there. So after all that struggle, patience and anticipating. I finally owned Love & Light. Even if it was a 30ml. I loved this scent! My eyes went like WOW when I smelled it, you know what I mean? I just loved it!
I read a lot of the reviews and they all say they can’t smell the fruits. Which surprised me because the main reasons I love this fragrance is because of its beautiful apricot note. It’s smooth and creamy.
The apricot is really like your best friend through this experience. While your parents (pomegranate & red current) are backing you up, with your little brother (mandarin) near. The weather is musky but warm, and you’re eating praline chocolates while surrounded by wet patchouli bushes, rain dropped roses and dewy Jasmine flowers. That is Love and Light.
It’s not a simple fragrance and I love that about it. I already got a couple of big 75ml bottles as back up, just in case. I wouldn’t ever wanna run out of this beautiful scent. We can’t seem to find the body lotion which makes me really sad. But I can say if YOU can find this fragrance and the body lotion PICK IT UP! You’ll love it. On me it last literally the whole day with amazing silage. You really can’t go wrong with this fragrance. At least I couldn’t! Jennifer Lopez, you go girl!
LOVE!
bevage2011 – :
I do love this fragrance, however, I don’t think it’s a special fragrance in anyway. A lot like Deseo, but better in my opinion. At first spray I get a harsh, almost old lady like patchouli smell. As it dries down I get all florals! Rose and Jasmine especially! I get not fruits AT ALL, which disappoints me greatly! I also get a chocolatey smell which blends well with everything! I would choose this over Love and Glamour any day! Over all a nice delicate fragrance once it dries down!
I love the bottle and packaging! The box has a star and glitter effect which is beautiful! I love the white, it makes it simple yet elegant. The bottle is gorgeous with the green and gold iridescence effect! The cap is a little odd but I love the star cutout under the plastic.
I would recommend if you love floral, musky, and patchouli perfumes!
fin5130 – :
Had a chance to sample this tonight. In my opinion, this is much better than Deseo. The patchouli is lighter and less in your face. I have Deseo, but can’t wear it. Love & Light is what I’d hoped Deseo would be more like. I do not generally love patchouli scents, but I’d wear this one. I also have Love & Glamour and I do love that one. This is totally different and I agree with a review below that says those two perfumes should have the names reversed. Love/Glamour is lighter scented, so should be named Love/Light, while Love/Light is darker and more glamorous due to the patchouli. I don’t get a lot of fruits or musk when I wear this, but I realize it is probably the fruits making the patchouli wearable for me. If I find this in a smaller size, I’ll buy it.
tootos – :
Very feminine fragrance. Smells like Avon a Rare Pearls and SJP NYC Crush equally combined! Blind buy, Wasn’t sure if I’d like it but I was pleasantly surprised. Kind of has a romantic flirty feel to it. IMO anyone can wear it and lasts about 6 hrs on me. Definitely worth the $12 I paid for it!
тинка – :
I was surprised from the very beginning with Love & Light as the previous J.Lo perfumes all pack a fruity punch, whilst this just has a light spattering of mandarin and apricot before the floral notes and patchouli develops.
The patchouli mixes fully with the powdery florals, so I don’t feel confident guessing what different notes may have been used – apart from the rose. Overall I think the powder mix has a nice vintage feel to it, so feel a bit glam wearing Love & Light.
The musk begins to develop fully somewhere between one and two hours on me, and the creamy praline note comes through soon after. The mmix of the fresher musk and creamy praline leaves me with the impression of coconut, which lasts for hours as the perfume slowly dies down…
I saw this at TK Maxx and since I never found it at any UK stores back when it was launched I bought it blind. I wouldn’t say that this is a fantastic perfume, but this is nice and different from all of the other J.Lo releases – much less fruit and soapy floral notes.
The staying power is also better than most of the other J.Lo releases; Love & Light is right up there with Glow. I do think that this perfume should have been released as Love & Glamour as the name does not match the scent or strength, and the much lighter and weaker L&G should have been released as Love & Light, so Coty shot themselves in the foot with the releases.
ase16 – :
Don’t like this. Very strong musky scent that burned my nose. It has a lot of staying power which I like but not with this perfume, couldn’t wait to scrub it off of me.
123123123 – :
I can only smell patchouli and musk with this one. There is a cleanliness to Love and Light, but it also reminds me of incense. I don’t get any of the fruits and flowers in this fragrance. It’s not my cup of tea, but it might smell great on the right woman.
tomsi – :
I tested the EDP of this today and it smelled nice but a bit overpowering. It smells strongly of jasmine at first whiff but the dry down is a bit creamier. This perfume is not really my type.
Drone – :
I really like this one because it’s different. So many fragrances smell alike these days. This one at least from what I smelled is unique. At first spray it’s slightly unpleasant, however when it dries down it turn to a nice coconut scent. I do not get masculine smell from this at all but it is more spicy which in turn could make some feel it masculine. I do not like masculine fragrances and I do like this one. I think it would make a great evening fragrance.
telmah – :
I have learned that, for some reason, I need to smell Jennifer Lopez fragrances at home away from the any other olfactory influences that might be floating through the air. They also nned to be tried on the skin – trust me, Love and Light on paper smells pretty awful, but on the skin it is much better.
Love and Light is pretty unique IMO. There is a touch of gourmand sweetness combined with the fruity floral notes, and a clean musk that blends everything together. No major changes from beginning to end, and the sillage is small. This is not a “love” sort of fragrance for me, but I do like it.
vova5822 – :
I smelled this at Khol’s yesterday and it was really nice! It smelled kinda expensive. I wasn’t expecting that at all but im glad it did. I also like the bottle very much! I like how Jlo’s perfumes tend to have some sort of freshness to them!
агент911 – :
At first I didn’t get why people kept comparing L&L to Deseo. That’s because I sprayed this very sparingly (1 small spritz, dabbed on both the insides and the outsides of my wrists).
Now that I’ve sprayed my ‘normal amount before leaving the house’ (a spray on each wrist, 1 on either side of my neck, and 1 on the back of my neck), I see what they mean. It does kind of remind me of a less harsh Deseo. But it also reminds me of Versace Woman. Like, a lot. Am I the only one?
Anyway, the opening notes are okay, but not something I’d reach for often. What I LOVE about this frag is the drydown. It’s such a beautiful, soft, warm, musky sweet skin scent that smells so much better than what I’d expected from a perfume that cost me 11 bucks. This is the type of patchouli that isn’t scary; it doesn’t smell very earthy, or dirty; it’s more of a powdery, processed, ‘cosmetic’ type patchouli, if that makes any sense. I personally love that more than the ‘scary’ natural smelling patch, although I guess that might make me a plebeian in the eyes of Luca Turin worshippers.
Weirdly this drydown seems much more noticeable when I only wear a small amount of this, which makes it a perfect scent for staying in and relaxing around the house.
I love this (and I’ve had my issues with some of JLo’s other scents)! I will definitely stock up on a larger bottle once I’m halfway done with my current one.
4.1/5

I love this perfume!It smells expensive…
At first is quite spicy but later it dries down to a luxurious, expensive soap. It’s classy!
I feel this one should be the one called ‘Love and glamour’ 🙂

Deseo is the jungely-tropical version of this one. This one is more diva-like. I don’t get it, the notes are not the same at all, but they are very similar!

Very soft….like a relaxed version of Deseo.
Sparkling, fresh, warm, reminds me of sandy beaches

soarmabog – :
Loving this scent. I can smell some chocolate, patchouli, and almost a sandalwood note. Surprised to like a JLo fragrance. It wears nicely on the skin for daytime. I find the scent unique, maybe even a bit woodsy and masculine too. Reminds my of Emporio Armani White for Her. Love!
erocha777 – :
Spicy, and not in a good way. This so wanted to be like With Love, but comes across as a man’s cologne.
гольм – :
This smells very coconutty to me too. I think this perfume is misnamed. I don’t find it light at all. I find it dark, warm, spicy, mysterious. Its very different from its counterpart, Love and Glamour. It has that coconut vibe that I think comes from a deep patchouli mixed with certain other floral notes.
omonya – :
Powdery,creamy ,musky & coconutty
Soft,beautiful and very feminine
I love this one and I love it more than Love & Glamour
Its not as generic smelling as that one. I’m growing very tired of the over done fruity floral’s .
This is a nice change 🙂
2673513 – :
I think it’s worse than Love & Glamour. I like Love & Glamour better than
kazim – :
This is definitely going to be one of my favorite J lo scents for sure 🙂
It a a soft creamy scent with some slight powder in the dry down.
It really reminds me of Reese Witherspoon’s perfume “Love to the Fullest” which i also own.
There are a few different notes then in Reese’s perfume but if you like this and can’t find it then I strongly urge you to get Love to the fullest 🙂
There are also notes in this perfume that smell like Deseo by J lo too.
I’m a fan of most of her frangrances 🙂

Today i saw it on sale and decided to try.
At first i really liked it: it was such a lovely creamy vanilla, i almost felt like i was wearing a “Valentina” by Valentino. Fragile, sensuous…. Surprisingly never smelled any patchouli in the opening. I almost wanted to buy it but then approximatly after 30 minutes it started to change. Change into sour scent.
