Deseo (for women)

Daria

I can't find something special at this fragrance, it's ok but nothing more than that.

It feels like walking through an exotic island in the evening when it just have been raining.And you can smell all the wet flowers and leaves..great for summertime and beachparties..

I tried this a couple times and liked it very much. I would describe it as a tropical green floral fragrance. The slight woody scent reminded me of trees in a rainforest. It is definitely a warm, mature, and sexy fragrance. The drydown, which was still present even after five hours of wear, was surprisingly clean and soapy - very nice for a hot summer day or night.

I really didn't want to like this perfume, first because I'm a snob and detest celebrity perfumes on principle, and second, cos the bottle irritates me; Uncut diamond or big pointless lump? I can't help thinking the marketing department is covering a cock-up back at the factory. Then I tried the perfume.

Oooh! Coconut, powdery but not too much...this note, used in such a sophisticated way in Versace Crystal Noir, is more early evening-by-the-beach here. In the Versace fragrance the coconut is a beautiful undertone. Here it blows you away, not subtle but very sultry, and then another note, green I think but can't quite identify, lights the fragrance up as it settles. Deseo is an exception to perfume traditions, a warm scent that suits hot days.

Now, can I persuade myself into liking that bottle? If I tell myself it's a crystal blue wave on the pacific, I lose my only excuse for not buying this!

I waited quite a while before reviewing this because I wanted to make sure that my thoughts on this weren't going to change. It's exotic and tropical smelling, but there's more to it than that. This perfume washes over me in waves. The sweetness of fruit and flowers does hit me, but so does the amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk. I also smell water, fresh and salty like the sea on a sunny, tropical day. The bottle screams "day at the beach" too, warm and crystalline, a beautiful blue crystal. It's more subtle than you would expect it to be, given the notes. Unlike other reviewers, I smell a lot more than coconut in this perfume. There definitely is coconut, mind you... but it's more musky and exotic than overly sweet coconut.

Mysterious And Intriguing! Deseo was launched early last year and I must admit, it's quite different from her line of Glow perfumes. I don't know what I was expecting from this one, but I just know that I was addicted to its aroma. Deseo has a very fruity opening with Bamboo Leaves, Yuzu, Sicilian Bergamot and Freesia. The middle notes are floral with orange blossom, mimose, rose geranium and star jasmine. The base notes are woodsy and typical of other fragrances, and yet there's still something about this fragrance that intrigues me. I don't think it's the base notes that mystify me. I believe it's the mixup of the opening and middle notes. Maybe it's the bamboo leaves and rose geranium, or perhaps it's the yuzu and star jasmine. It's no more floral than it's sweet, although if I had to choose one, I'd go with floral as oppossed to sweet. I don't know, but there's definitely something about it that entices me and intrigues me beyond measure. I'm captivated by this fragrance and I just can't get enough of it. It's modern, can be worn everyday and good to smell in the spring.

I agree with vdxl in that this is fresh, aquatic but in a natural way. For me there is a tropical feel to this. I don't get any coconut but do get a warm sweetness. Not a major player in my perfume collection, though I'm glad i purchased it.

vdxl

A very sensual mineral floral fragrance. It is quite mature, it is maybe aquatic, but not in the way that are the others, but in a natural manner. It is very sexy on women, even though Deseo suggests me in general a red bottle, not a crystal blue one. It is fresh, yes, but not like your cheap citrus-marine shower gel. It contains a nice floral bouquet that makes your woman feel comfortable yet desired even if she does not like heavy scents.

Deseo is a sandy tropical type of scent is is nice for warm weather and it is very unique,I do like it but the bottle is cheap looking compared to Jlo's other fragrances that is the only complaint I have about Deseo.

Deseo takes me back to the Venezuelan rainforest..the warm, mineral smell of the air, the trees with their wooden branches and lush green dew scattered leaves, tall bamboo plants and beautiful tropical flowers surrounding a deep blue lagoon..and the bottle looks like a beautiful rock jewel that would sit at the bottom of the lagoon sparkling in the sunlight. This fragrance is sensual, warm, spicy and tropical, it smells very natural, very woody with hints of summer flowers. I personally smell no coconut in Deseo, the only way I could relate this scent to a coconut is probably the woody brown outer shell of the coconut rather than the sweet white fruit inside. I love how this fragrance is summery and tropical without smelling like fruit punch or suntan lotion, it is very beautiful..I have a feeling that this is going to be a favourite of mine for a long time :)

Hmm looking at all the notes in Deseo, I thought that I would love this perfume. Well, I was wrong...I can't smell any of the floral notes in it, only a weird smelling synthetic coconut-like smell. To me it's very strong and suffocating. I'm just glad that I got a sample of it first instead of buying a full size bottle.

This scent is nice on my skin a strong coconut smell comes out. I think it's appropriate for vacation, or if you live on a beach. I don't I live in the city and it just doesn't quite work for me even in the summer. It is nice and I take it with me on vacation. Unfortunately I don't smell floral it's all coconut to me!

Princess

It does smell tropical. Quite sophisticated scent in a gorgeous bottle.. but not for me

ramiske

I tested this at a local store, and wasn't very impressed. It wasn't bad, but nothing stood out to me. I didn't really smell any of the notes that I see in the other reviews, so maybe I'll give it another test when I'm not being rushed by my 5 year old!

ktv0926

Personally - don't like it, i was caught by the opening notes, like for a couple of minutes, the scent of some tropical fruit was unusual and interesting, but afterwards - no no no.

Like somebody mentioned here - with time passing by, this fragrance was rapidly dying until fruits and flowers became completely rotten.

missk

I really liked this perfume. It's floral and sweet without being too teeny and sickening. I can imagine this fragrance appealing to women and not just little girls. I actually find this fragrance quite sophisticated and versatile. It could blend well into any situation, whether it be a casual outing or a special occasion. However the scent is not long-lasting, so I find that to be this scent's only downfall.

shadyisme

this is a very nice scent...will end up getting it

Emeraude

I smell coconut in this fragrance...sweet coconut,dont smell mimose or jasmine in it,but although I like it...

marie08

This smells like the beach, musky and aquatic at the same time. Some say the bottle is tacky, but I think it's unique and pretty. The scent is different from all the floral and fruity perfumes out there; I love it.

Malibu

I’m rubbish at describing scents, but here I go: On application the fragrance is ‘green’. The notes of bamboo leaves, bergamot and yuzu are fresh, but not heavy. If anything I was surprised by how light DESEO is.

After a short while the fragrance ‘warms’ with the geranium, orange blossom and mimosa. Other people who have tried DESEO have said the scent is sweet and fruity, but I haven’t experienced this. I can detect a faint hint of coconut, though there’s no mention of this is in the fragrance notes. Maybe it’s just because I’m reminded of suntan lotion!!

The mineral accord in the base is the most dominant for me; it lends an aquatic air to DESEO. I can also detect the woods, bringing to mind tropical woodland by a beach.

Sweetsunlight

OMG, I love this one, it's musky and a little sweet at the same time. It's perfect for the summer, or a day at the beach :)

Allegra

I quite like other JLo fragrances but not this one. I've tried and tested Deseo for several times now and finally got assured that it isn't a perfume for me. It's just too dry, woody, bland and sort of thick scent to meet my demands and expectations of a good wearable scent. Besides, I can't stand coconut smell in any way (too sweet and nauseating) and Deseo has it as a strong note. So it's no thanks.

mmsmlzgud546

Wow this bottle is soo pretty! I just had a feeling I would love this one. Im not sure why since reg glow is the only JLo I have been into. I really got the strange chemical smell right off? Something is off in this scent and I cant put my finger on it. If you love the heavy basenotes of musk, patchouli, oak moss and sandalwood you will probably love this! Its just smells odd to me because it is suppose to be a beachy scent and starts off on that note. The drydown is very warm!!

Surreal

I don't like it. I was hoping to get a tropical scent and this is tropical, but not how I meant it. It does smell like coconut but not a warm sexy sweet coconut. More rotten with a vanilla drydown. The bottle doesn't really help either. Thank god Miami glow is comming back. The best thing jlo has ever done!

katyas

The first spritz I recoiled - it was terrible! Chemical smelling and not at ALL nice. However, after a few minutes it settled down to a lovely, sweet fragrance that I was really grooving on. Then about 15 minutes later, it turned sickly sweet - like dying flowers. Fortunately, about 15 minutes after THAT, the scent was completely gone. So, it's NOT a good scent for me and I'm glad I only have a sampler size. I will, of course, give it another chance, because that is the way I am, but I've tried it twice now and received the same results. Not for me!

Trvevil

I like it. it's nice and fruity like juice. Perfect for hot days I think. It's quite strong. Actually I would prefer to wear it in winter season. For me it really fits that way. Very nice bottle.
It reminds me of some south garden and juice. On me Deseo has good staying power. I like this best of J.Lo's perfumes.

Teolinda

Two spritzes on my hand became something awfully sweet and almost rancid. I could hardly believe my nose. Now I see it must have been that coconut smell everybody´s talking about. After half an hour I dared to smell my hand again and the coconut was gone!
Instead I felt a mild soapy scent that was really nice and clean and this one stayed with me two hours maybe.

I think Deseo will suite someone who likes natural scents, a young teenager who´s just started to wear perfumes and don´t really want to stand out. But for you other women...skip this perfume and take a quick shower instead, the clean feeling will last just as long.

sjanira

It feels like I'm in the beach just sipping on some fruity drink! smells like sandy, coconut ocean breeze. I love the bottle too, it looks like a rock jewel you'd find in the deep ocean.

This is my favourite of J-Los perfume releases. I'm not a big fan of her previous perfumes at all so I was extremely reluctant to try this. However I purchased a sml bottle and was very impressed. To me, Deseo is very summery and it lasts which is a bonus. The drydown is soft and woody yet still retains hints of the tropics. I enjoy it because it's not an obnoxious scent and it receives compliments when I wear it.

flugeltje013

It's all coconut I smell. It is exactly the same like the 'Tahiti' coconut showergel to me. I like it...

klee0206

I absolutely love this fragrance and all the layers within it! It whisks me away to a lovely dream place, like a Venetian garden. I wouldn't mind being surrounded by this scent all day!

lillybee

I blind tested this fragrance so had none of the prejudices that may have influenced me.

It's a quite sweet, tropical scent and for me smells of tropical fruit (grapefruit and pineapple mainly) and coconut. It immediately reminded me of Tropiques from Lancome (the 2005 Limited Edition) which is similar in the heart to Deseo but has sharper, fruitier head.

The drydown is dry and woody but warm like a tweed blanket and there's a bit of aquatic note at the end, very subtle though.

Quite differently to JLo's previous scents, this to me smelled very professionally blended but playful at the same time. It doesn't at all shout 'celebrity' but certainly says 'young'. Not in age but in spirit.
