Deseo Jennifer Lopez for women

I quite enjoyed this fragrance in the summer of 2008... went through the whole bottle in 2 months. Sweet but not overly so, tropical, fun, young & sexy!

This is a very fragrance different from Jennifer Lopez's past fragrances.

the Opening: this fragrance opens up with florals of orange blossom, apple, citrus, pina colada & a hint of lotus flower

.it's a very fresh opening, with green apple, peachy pina colada, citrus, and clean florals.


the heart: blossoms with notes of mimosa & classic white florals

. The heart of the fragrance is very sophisticated with softened florals of french mimosa & what seems to be a velvety Gardenia/Tuberose like white flower.


The base: is warm, sweet, & seductive.

. The presence of the base is found throughout the fragrance giving a earthy green tone, while giving the fragrance a Ambery/ vanilla tone with soft sensuous undertones of Patchouli that is reminiscent to the patchouli note in black orchid.


very tropical green, floral, woody fragrance that is completely Unisex.


It smells like a tropical spin-off of Forever by Mariah Carey, they are very similar in the opening

I find Deseo has more personality than Forever which is very linear. Deseo start's off as a fresh fruit & white floral frag then dries down to a woody sweet vanilla frag.

if you like Forever & want something to wear without it being overpowering I suggest giving Deseo a try.

Just love the bottle. Small girl once again... my friend`s father was working in a small glass work house in Czech mountains called Krkonose (these days all gone, made in China) and she used to bring these cast off pieces of beautiful light blue and yellow glass. What a treat! We used to play with them as little girls pretending they were real diamonds... I don`t remember how this scent smells but the bottle alone fills me with happiness.

I dont like the smell of this perfume if you dont spray it directly on the skin. That being said once on the body I love love this perfume, It makes me feel really sexy and feminine. I get many compliments from this perfume,,, its beautiful and long lasting.

well, I wouldn't say it is very original but it has its charm - wooden notes accompanied by white flowers. Quite fresh but with some kind of deep woodsy note.

It reminds me of a tropical jungle(not that Ive been to one but this is how I can imagine it ;)

Overall I think it is a good everyday perfume, perfect for work all year round .

I absolutely love this perfume. For a celebrity scent, this is definitely a job well done and pretty original. The perfume reminds me of an island getaway: fresh, aquatic, tropical, musky, sexy and sensual :) As for the design of the bottle...well, it's different, and if you're all about the packaging, this is a cute piece to display on your vanity. Overall i would rate this perfume a 7 out of 10 :)

I must add though, the bottle looks much better in pictures. In person, the top yellow part looks sort of like cloudy plastic.

There's a lot to say about this one, in a good way. For a celebrity fragrance, it does "tropical" well. I smell very subtle coconut but it's just barely there, not overly sweet or thick. There's sexy, exotic florals... I smell some bitter green as well, definitely bamboo, which keeps it beautifully balanced and slightly woody. This was actually better and more mature than I was expecting, it's not a fruity-floral comparable to her other scents.

This reminds me of a rainforest (or what I imagine one would smell like) after a heavy rain...exotic, humid, sexy, woody. Like the commercial for Acqua Di Gioia! Needless to say, I think this makes a great rainy day scent. Takes you out of that city state-of-mind. Lasting power is great as well.

Deseo smells wonderful in the bottle. On my skin, the first hour is ok, very tropical, I get the coconutt thing although is more a "beach" impression of sun tan than actually a coconutt accord. After that hour the smells turns very rancid, like a dear member said "rotten fruits" and airfreshner. It turned so bad that I had to scrub it!
It a very misleading perfume because its smells so good in the beggining but then it turns really cheasy.

nao tem como olhar essa embalagem e não dize: UAU!

O cheiro me lembra praia...tem um toque aquatico , amadeirado e levemente salgado, tipo pele quando sai do mar.

This scent always reminds me of a tropical island setting, lots of palm trees, coconuts and waiters bringing me fancy drinks whilst I look out to a crystal clear ocean. Bamboo, patchouli and musk. It is a sweet cocktail-like fragrance that has quite a lot staying power and is gorgeous in summer. The bottle is lovely!

I have a 1 oz bottle of this for a year now, since I use it very rarely. I used to like this for a long time before I bought a bottle on clearance. For a celebrity frag, I find this one quite stands out - it is fruity, tropical, but unlike any other fruity fragrances I smelled. It even has a weird stenchy note - geranium, that stands out [oohh... I hate how geranium smells irl]. This time it kind of makes this more original. I've also received compliments when wearing this, but my dad said it's generic when smelled it from bottle. It's pretty sharp and even a bit nasty at a start, but in a good way. Then it kind of breaks down and smells yummy [pineapple!]. I think it works best for me in cold season. It is very long lasting on me and I still can sense it in my hair the whole next day. The bottle is cute and pretty neat [lol I have 3 bottles that are shaped like diamonds cut or uncut xD], I don't find it bulky or weird and definitely going to keep it when it's empty.

Very boring scent. I read that it was inspired by J.Lo's own tropical garden in Miami after the rain, so I was expecting lush frangipani, moss, bamboo etc but this scent is really, really miles away from anything exotic. It is very bland. The only nice thing about it is the bottle. In my opinion, her best fragrance of all is "Still".

I did have expectations because the bottle looks pretty.
I did gave a chance to another J. Lo's fragrance (I don't like Glow).
I do see she's perfume-fertile and too much doesn't mean good...

From the distance it reminds me of Miss Dior Cherie or Wish. Near my nose: Midnight Poison. It's light sweet and masculine. Actually "deseo" means "I desire" in Latin and "wish" in Spanish so...

My expectations went as far as the bamboo leaf but sorry, no. The scent is as if it was a mix of Miss Dior Cherie with Wish and is cold... also it is as if somebody didn't know what to put inside the fragrance and put whatever came to his mind. If it was inspired by garden, as a leaflet says, then the garden is cold, stiff and hostile a bit.

I didn't like geranium that showed up for a half of hour or so the most, also there's a huge dose of patchouli. I can detect mimosa and jasmine. Fragrance is fresh, a bit herbal, and a bit soapy.

There won't be another chance for Mrs J. Lo. I'm sorry I've bashed the frag but I don't like when a fragrance reminds me of 346 others.

I bought this at Winners and am very disappointed. It is very boring, and somewhat masculine. Now I am searching for another cheap perfume to mix with it so I can create a better smell.

I wore this when I was pregnant and loved it, initially it's quite unique but the dry down is predictable ... it's been relegated to the cupboard!

This is my first fragrance by Jennifer Lopez, and i have to say; i love it. The bottle looks tropical, very beautiful. Normally i like the more classical perfume bottles, but i really love this design as well.

The fragrance itself is really fresh, light, and almost calming, very good for summer. At first, it does smell citrusy, but later it becomes more ''heavy'', without losing it's freshness. And i can definitely smell the bamboo! I'd recommend it for people that like subtle fragrances. Or just as a perfect summer scent.

I really cannot smell any coconut at all in this perfume. I can atleast appreciate that it doesn't smell
like all the other floral perfumes that have been coming out. I am really craving different smelling perfumes, patchoulli and sandelwood all the better.
This perfume is refreshingly different and lasts quite a while on me...love it.

If I had to put a fragrance to Ms. Lopez, this would definitely be it!
It's very subtropical with a down-to-earth air about it. I detect the musk and orange blossom in it as the stronger notes that make this so appealing to men. The bamboo and freesia effectively "tame" any of the heavier notes.
Almost conjures a vision of being on an island with lush tropical surroundings living an 'ideal' life!

Personal Note: I wish the scent had been able to last through a typical workday for me but it was a bit too beach-like for that... and I would've had to reapply about 3 hours in.

Finally!!! A woodsy aquatic that I can wear!!! This is almost the dream aquatic that I'm looking for, except it is woodsy and not salty. Still, close enough for now!

It goes on fresh, and then in the first hour or two, I smell an odd floral coconut. It's what coconut would smell like as a cool flower. I wish that part would last longer, but it was gone after 2 hours or so. There are definite bamboo and green notes that last.

It's been 9 hours since I first sprayed it on, and I can still smell it if I get my nose close to my elbow. Smellable-by-others: probably 7 hours.

I may actually break my own rule and buy a backup bottle of this, since I've heard it has been discontinued. I usually do not risk buying a backup bottle of anything because I am afraid it will be spoiled by the time I use up the original.

This smells like heaven on my mother, bamboo and sandalwood dominate. On myself it actually inspires me to nausea. It makes my head whirl and I become intensely nauseated as if I had been on a sailboat.
It is still a very nice perfume and has a lovely aroma on the right lady. Very aquatic smelling too, watery. Lasting power is average for me (2-3+ hours) but depends on skin/chemistry. My mother always layers with the lotion and that creates a divine aroma and lasting power of an entire day.
The pretty but weird bottle however sprays way too much and is hard to use (mine broke directly after I opened the box).

Ihave the 1.7 oz of this and I love it! This was my first "JLO" perfume and since I loved it so well, I went back and bought 15 of her perfums and love them all! I would love to own all of them but could never find "Live Winter" or "Deseo Forever"

As with alot of Jennifer Lopez perfumes, this one is once again on the tropical vibe. I can see the coconut reference but...it's kind of NOT coconut at the same time. Very hard to describe. It's like a more mature...sophisticated tropical than an in-your-face sunscreen smell like Miami/sunkissed glow.

The bamboo and geranium keep this fresher...it's more lush..more crisp..more "Perfumey" than her other tropical scents. It's more sharp more crytalline and has an aquatic undertone. I would wear this on a night out after being at the beach on holiday. It's more that kind of smell...

I like it, I don't think it's amazing...for the price I got it I have no complaints, the bottle is very pretty too in my opinion, I'm now working my way through my 100ml bottle this summer to finish it.

Overall it's good, I'll enjoy wearing it. Not the best Jlo scent though.

I bought this as a blind buy since it was on sale and some reviewers talked about coconut. I find it a little acquatic and creamy. I'm not too sure if I can really detect coconut. It's a creamy scent for summer. Since I'm not such an acquatic scent user, I'm glad I only have purchased 30ml. Deseo is IMO not really a coconut scent. "Dare me" by Kimora Lee Simmons is a coconut scent. I guess I'll be able to use up Deseo but it's not really a scent I enjoy much.

My first impression - coconut.
I am a coconut hater so I hate it
My second impression - none
(i didn't try it anymore)

It's a tropical woody-flower frangrance. We can feel the neroli, jasmine, and kind of coconut notes on this. We can feel the mineral notes too, and it's not a sweet fragrance. Kind of a walk through a garden after a rain, like JLo describes it. Good staying power and I think it's better for fall or winter days, too strong on summer days and gives me headache.

Like many other reviewers I did not like Deseo at first. I blind bought it because I wanted to add a fresh summery perfume to my small collection and it was very cheap.

I bought it in January and it smelled masculine, cold, sharp, bitter.. overall blah. Put it behind the others on the shelf and forgot about it.

Summer came, and so did I start to pay more attention to my "summer" fumes. Let`s try Deseo again. Wow what is this tropical and exotic smell ? And why is it gone in about half an hour or so?

That is my relationship with Deseo in brief moments.

It is a very nice, bambooish fresh scent but unfortunately has no longevity on my skin. Very easy to like. It is not your typical celeb style scent , more sophisticated than the others I have tried although I do enjoy and love the sticky sweetness of Fancy and Fantasy. It`s just good to have a change every now and then, but because of the very poor longevity I do not give it a "like".

One annoying thing, the bottle is a disaster. I mean, the cap doesn`t hold on to the bottle, it keeps falling off and the spray leaks. Whenever I spray it I get a bit of the liquid leaked on my fingertips.
Anyone else here experiencing the same problem?

The first time I tried it on I hated it. As I had already bought it, I decided to wear it again. Then, I liked it, and everytime I use it I like it more than before... This is an exotic fragrance, it's not a smell that everybody knows like Fantasy, for example. You're gonna love it... It's unique... I can't describe...

I will not support Jennifer Lopez in her perfumes either. I have a scent replica or "knock off" of this scent.I have never smelled the original "real" scent,nor will I ever. I cannot believe my eyes to read how little Jennifer Lopez cares about animals. Tragic to me.

This scent is very green to me. I mostly get patchouli,more than anything,then a little bit of woods and vetiver. It smells of nature,and it has no gender as far as I am concerned.

It fills my heart with joy to see others speaking out against animal cruelty. I also never wear real animal musk,the musk in my Deseo knock off is synthetic.

I bought it cheap on the day-after-christmas Walmart sal., I paid 10 american dollars for this big, odd shaped bottle, but the bottle isn't why I love it.

My perfumes I rotate currently are Ysatis, Opium, Deseo, Afred Sung's Sung, Escada Into the Blue, and Estee's Pleasures and Duff's With Love.

This and With Love both need time to mature into something that bonds with my personal chemistry.

This gets me a lot of male attention. It comes on obnoxiously aggressive, like those creepy guys ...you know what I mean. Pushy and so..ugh. Get away! That was my first spritz of Deseo.

But..like some of those bad-first-impression guys, Deseo has depth; a dry-down from that first slap-attack on my senses quickly mellows (10 to 15 minutes) to a woodsy, rich patchouli and summer scent that is very grown up. IMO tweens shouldn't wear this.

It's a spicy scent, one that (to me) isn't for office. Then again, I don't want my perfume to be what they notice at work. Deseo gets noticed. This is an after hours fragrance, feminine and frankly carnal. Men that smell it on me want to come closer for another whiff. And trust me, I look nothing like J-Lo!

Very bitter to start with but give it 30 minutes and its lovely. I do get the coconut even though its not listed:-/
Warm, soft, tropical but not overly sweet. I'm quite impressed with J-Lo's frags, I have this, Miami Glow and Still. I had Glow some years ago and liked it but not enough to re-buy it. Why on earth are they discontinuing this??? But if they weren't I guess I would have paid a lot more than £8 for 50ml.

I really like to use this perfum on cold winter days. Warm, seductive, deep scent, it's warms up my soul.:)

I really hate the fresh opening, I hate it so bad that I cant wear it at all.. But I would probably love the base notes..... :(

I don't smell any of the floral notes in this one at all. On me this dries down to more cedar and patchouli, with slight hint of citrus, which is not my kind of scent. It's strong at first, then dies down rather quickly. I sprayed it and within 15 minutes it was very light on my arm, so this tells me the stay power on this one not very good. Not a keeper for me.

Deseo is very like a tropical garden, with a passing nod to some sweet, woody smelling greens. Very warm, and nicely feminine, without being over the top. It's lightly sensual, the orange blossom, freesia and mimosa notes harmonizing with particular sweetness.

Very good. Fresh and feminine with its light sweetness.

I was expecting this to smell purely floral based ont the spray on paper but on the skin it's quite different. It's very warm and inviting, and although there are florals in here, there is a soft sandalwood based drydown that is very comforting. Overall, quite a nice surprise.

JLo has veray nice perfumes, also this one, i had a trial, it's very coconutty tropical, but stying power is very low - can expect than a nice bottle more from a diva like this... for the post below mine: what problem you have with people liking animals being against the behavior and ignorant attitude of JLo on the topic animal welfare!??? what's childish about pointing out that customer shouldn't support JLo because she doesn't care about?! childish is to not care about and demanding to ban people about their free speach, you know.

Different but I like it. I get no coconut from this. My skin pulls out the patch, cedar, geranium and oakmoss. Usually, oakmoss and me don't get along but it's not front and center in this perfume. There's enough patchouli in it to make me happy with the drydown. The drydown turns masculine on me but that's my favorite part of this perfume. Not my usual taste. I do like "pretty" florals and while I wouldn't classify this one as "pretty," it is "interesting." When I want "interesting," I reach for this.

Well, my experience of Deseo is pretty unique for me and I've never had this situation with a perfume before!

I ordered a bottle of Deseo blind based on the good reviews and how cheaply I was able to get a bottle for, so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it. It arrived this morning and, to be honest, it's really nothing special. Despite all the 'Glow'ing reviews about it, in my opinion it's totally overrated. Yes, it's got a 'tropical' feel; Yes, it smells a bit beachy; and it definitely smells coconut'y (despite the fact that apparently it doesn't contain it), but I find it kind of blah and boring. The coconut smell is what I mainly smell in it and it smells just like dessicated coconut, with a slightly creamy aspect (and very much like Hawaiian Tropic). I was hoping I would be one of those people who couldn't smell it because although I love coconut to eat, and in cake, ice cream, etc, it's not something I actually want to reek of and I definitely don't find it sexy! Also, the staying power of Deseo is bad - 5 hours or so on my skin and it's almost totally evaporated.

However, the fact that this perfume is just so-so is not the main reason I'm returning it. I wasn't aware until yesterday, when a friend told me, that J-Lo has fur farms and uses fur in her clothing collections and happily wears it herself. As a vegetarian and a major animal lover who very much cares about animal welfare, I was shocked by what my friend told me about J-Lo's indifference to animal welfare and the fact that despite having come under attack for her use of fur and the fur farming, she still blatantly disregards that and continues to use it.

I certainly don't want to know that my money is lining the pockets of someone with such a blatant disregard for animal welfare and who clearly is vain enough and greedy enough to not give a damn. So, as much as J-Lo may be admirable for her drive and success, she's gone way down in my estimation (not that I'm a huge fan of her music or movies anyway!) and I find it shocking that she could be so callous and indifferent towards animals.

So, even if Deseo had been the loveliest perfume I'd ever smelled (it isn't!), I would still be returning it. However, Deseo is just a decidedly average perfume, just as Glow is (which is the only other J-Lo perfume I've smelled and which I was also very unimpressed by).

I certainly don't want to make someone who's as cold-hearted as J-Lo any wealthier than she already is, given that she clearly has no regard for animals whatsoever and seems to be more than happy to contribute towards the horrific treatment some of them are forced to endure at the hands of humans. I definitely couldn't rest easy knowing I was supporting someone like that by buying her perfumes, etc. So, I'm more than happy to return my bottle of Deseo and to never touch any of her products again.

great perfume. i can smell coconut even if there isnt any in it. its not to strong but its longlasting. nice!!!

I like it a lot! it's very sophisticated and rich smelling unlike other celebrity perfumes. it does have kind of a masculine note to it but i love that. the bottle is so beautiful and expensive looking as well. definitely worth trying!

Well i'm a huge fan of this one! I wore it religiously all last summer. I do find i do not like the smell when sniffed from the bottle (which is why it took me ages to actually try it) but then i plumped for it and the warmth from my skin really warmed it up into this lovely tropically, intoxicating, heady fragrance. I think men could also wear this one, its quite unique, warming and sexy!

Mmmmmm, my friend had this stashed in her purse before her job interview and let me have a few sprays. I love it! It's sexy, womanly, and yet can be appropriate for school and the workplace. An excellent fragrence for something like a job interview! but also would be perfect for a date and night out. I very much love Deseo.

Beautiful Bottle, Should have put more energy into the Scent. This perfume is GOD AWFUL. And, I also have the lotion, which is terrible .

I'm really impressed with the quality and originality of the JLo range of perfumes. I've grown up with the French classics, but her perfumes are actually quite lovely. I like ALL of them - especially "Still" and "Miami Glow."

Warm summer beach holiday feel to this fragrance. What's intriguing to me is the saltiness I get from it - combined with the tropical flowers and fruit, it really is a delightful summer getaway - pina coladas Deseo and me strolling along the sand at sunset.

I am SOOO happy I got this one. I never heard of this perfume but found it reviewed on this site. I was not disappointed I ordered this online. This is such a spring scent and it definetely does remind me of a garden of lovely flowers. It reminds me of a woman I used to admire back when I was a litte younger, she must have worn this because the second I sprayed this on I thought of her immediately and remembered how lovely she always smelled. I definetely recommend this one

I do like this scent..not on my love list. Pretty..i can imagine this smelling very similar to her Florida garden. My husband likes it...he calls it my 'swanky' perfume..haha...

I just bought this unsniffed and I never do that! I also rarely buy celebrity frags but his one I saw on sale and had to try. I'm really glad I did. It is a great addition to my small collection. It is slightly sweet, moderately powdery and very soft and sensuous. I think I can wear this almost any time. Yesterday I doused myself in it as I was recovering from some dental work and it really cheered me up. It was like a cloud of soft, sweet, tropical comfort. I love it!
It has a tropical feel, but just slightly to me. I don't smell coconut but a little bit of pineapple. I don;t love aquatic scents but this is quite fresh and a little floral. The musk and woods in the drydown are very suble, just enough to make it both soft, warm, and sensuous. It was definitely a nice surprise for $20.

Deseo is a fragrance that captures all things that are fresh, beautiful and tropical....I always get a lot of compliments and they have the same reaction towards this scent. People say to me....

" it's tropical garden in a bottle."

"that perfume you're wearing is very beautiful, I can't wait to see the bottle and get my own."

"oh my...you smell like an elegant woman who loves tropical places."

"I could smell vacation in you in a tropical garden and tropical beach. So lovely smell."

"wow, that's an amazing tropical scent you're wearing!"....

J-lo really did a good job! My Lotion is almost out and my bottle is almost empty....I can't wait to buy more and more...I'm addicted to Deseo!

I just got this from a friend who has a perfume shop. When I opened the box I immediately got a whiff of something spicy...and if you let the scent linger in your nose and think about it, you get the sweet floral notes. When I do wear it, I'll report back :)

well...this is like her Jenny from the Block "hit" :
#93 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever ...I like others from J lo notes, but this one is a simply mistake.

I like it; similar to Dune - but not as intense.

I was surprised at how much I liked it. I tried it and kept thinking about it. I gave a bottle to my stepmom for Christmas (I wished I had kept it.) When I saw it again I bought it. I like the lotion even better b/c it is brought to life by body warmth. I get many compliments on it and people want to know what it is.
The body lotion seems much more smooth than the EP. It starts out real strong too, but eases down in about 15 min. Then it is warm and elegant and lasts for a really long time.

I don't know what it is about this perfume that draws me in but I can't stop sniffing this little concoction. I tested this years ago at Macy's and hated it, then re-tested it and ended up loving it so much I bought a big bottle of it. I typically only wear this in the summer because it is just odd to wear something this lush and summery in the winter. It lasts forever on me and there is just something so tropical and lush about it. I can't put my finger on it but it draws me in due to its unique scent. I have never really smelled anything else like it. Very unique.

i got this as a christmas gift and didn't think i was going to like it. i only like jl's glow. but, i did like it. one of my favorites now actually. it goes on strong, but on my skin turns a powdery, musky scent with wild bloom undernotes. lasts a good while for me. oh, and i actually love the bottle, i think its beautiful.

It did not take me long to return this one. I don't know what was so strange about this scent, it did not work well with my chemistry. Before I returned the bottle, I ask my husband to smell it. One spray in the cap and I knew he didn't like it either. Not her best scent in my opinion.

I have bought Deseo unsniffed and I do not regret it though it took me 3 days to conclude that I like it.
I used it on Saturday for the first time ever and after spraying it generously (15 sprays), I felt smothered in patchouli.
Actually, I did not smell much else for the whole day but yesterday I was a little wiser:
5 sprays, an hour later another 5 sprays and it was soo lovely!
On initial spray I get a lot of patchouli instantly but after a few seconds I could properly smell the bamboo and the citrus fruits (but no Freesia) with a hint of patchouli and I could really picture an exotic garden with a pond at night.
The drydown happened quickly after about 15 minutes and I mainly got patchouli, jasmine and a few flowery notes (none of them strong enough for me to say it is mimosa or orange flower or...) and it smells just gorgeous.
After about 4 or 5 hours the scent has almost faded but I can still smell the base which is mainly patchouli and cedar.
The cedar in the base is very well chosen and it is the one ingredient that makes sure the scent is fresh AND woodsy throughout.

Someone wrote that Deseo smells expensive and I fully agree.
I would say the scent is quite mature compared to what else is on the celeb-perfume-market.
I do not want to relate a scent to a certain age group but compared to the usual suspects on the celeb perfume aisle Deseo is grown-up, maybe mature and definitely surprisingly sophisticated.
If you expect another sugar bomb like Britney's Fantasy, you will be surprised.
It is sooo well done and would be perfect for work (if you wear a suit) or a rainy night out in a tent in a jungle.
Give it a chance or maybe even 3 like I did, I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Oh, and I did not sense any coconut at all.
I know why some people swear they can smell it but it is not there.

To Woodelf:
If you really like this but it's too strong on you, I would highley say that you try the spin-off Deseo Forever. It is just as amazing, but not strong at all! Matter of fact, my friend and I call it "Deseo Light" ;) Test it out, I think you would really like it!

I purchased Deseo because of so many positive reviews here, but sadly, this one does not work on me. It is heavy, masculine and cloying on me - too much patchouli and musk which overpowers the lighter floral and green notes. Like Mugler's Angel, this one turns to bug spray on me. I'm envious of those of you who can carry this one off.

I am wearing this today adn agree with fallin in the way that I too don't get any tropical notes. However, it is a lovely classy fragrance which smells more expensive than it is.
I detect musk in the dry down which is prominent.
Suitable for any age, my mum borrows this on occasions and loves it. For day or night use.

This deserves a better review from me!

When I spray Deseo on I feel more mature, confident, but soft and feminine.

I do not get a change in notes, on my skin (or a change that is noticeable). I get a constant, but lovely smell that is spicy, floral and woody with a hint of aquatic and sweetness. It's a bit dewy, and tender to me, and sweet in a not cloying, sugary,candy way just natural womanly way. I don't get any of the tropical notes people are mentioning below, no pineapple, no coconut for me, but I don't mind this time.

Looking at the notes I feel the base notes must come through quickly and strongly on me. I don't mind, but would've been nice to experience the top and middle notes longer if at all.

Over all I enjoy it, it lasts quite a while on my skin, and is a lovely scent that is unique to anything else I own. I would definitely consider purchasing again if I ran out.

I like it, its quite a strong scent, more for night time wear. But it smells like a mature exotic scent. One of my favs

Have to say this is nice even if not particularly right for me. Happy to have sniffed a perfume with coconut that doesn't smell all artificial and suntan lotion-y. The perfumers deserve huge marks for that one. The scent has a bit of a watery and sweet citrus opening that blends perfectly well with the bamboo, coconut, florals and musk. Wouldn't shine as brightly now that things are cooling down here in Michigan but when the heat is on, I may have to put Deseo into heavy rotation. It's pretty darn good! ;')

today is rainy day..and it is a heavy rain....Just got out from the shower and decided to put on my deseo lotion and spray a little of the perfume in my clothes...aaaahhhhhhh....soooo fresh and clean...I feel like I'm in a garden filled with beautiful blooming flowers...and then there's a spring water where I dip my feet in and capture the fresh breeze of air....I've never felt so fresh ever...This is the most wonderful feeling ever....oh I smell soooo good! I'm madly inlove with DESEO....keep making this fragrance Jen, never discontinue this or I'll be the saddest person ever!

This perfume is one of J-los best perfume! I recently bought the gift set (100ml perfume, body lotion and roll on perfume)...It is perfect in my dresser cuz the bottle is super gorgeous! And like many other reviewers comment, it is indeed very tropical, sophisticated, and fresh! I just adore it like my other j-lo perfumes (Still and Live).

The scent makes me feel really happy when I have it on...the scent last especially when I spray a little in my hair and clothes...Good job J-lo for making this perfect perfume!

I LOVED Deseo. I'm extremely particular about perfumes and haven't worn anything else in years except "Lovely" by Sarah Jessica Parker.
I sprayed Deseo on my wrists and left the store. A week later, I went back and bought it. It's subtle, sexy, yummy! I'm 52 years young and think it's perfect scent for my age.

There is a lot to be said about testing a fragrance on your skin vs the tester paper. Such is the case with Deseo. The first time I smelled this on paper I was underwhelmed to say the least. I honestly could not understand the fuss or pick up on any tropical vibe people were talking about. I decided to purchase it anyway and sprayed it on my wrist before I drove home.

Omg what a difference!

This scent is beautiful. It reminds me of when you land on a tropical island and as you are getting off the plane you can smell the mix of suntan lotion, sea air, sand, tropics and everything peaceful in the air.

Somehow deseo manages to capture this scent without becoming to fruity or too much like suntan lotion.

It says deseo is supposedly inspired by J-Lo's garden and if J-lo's backyard is a tropical island then Kudos they captured this scent perfectly.

Im really enjoying this one.

I just purchased still by j-lo 2 days ago and I'm soooo inlove with it! then the following day i found a gift set of deseo with lotion and roll-on fume, i tried and tested the scent...it's amazing! it's so tropical and I love it! And I love the bottle it's gorgeous! I've got to save up and get the gift set! Deseo is perfect in my dresser...will defnitely be included in my collection! I loooove j-lo's fragrances! They last a long time on me too! If it does'nt last to other people...it's their body chemistry! But to me almost all perfumes last especially j-lo's...I'm so lucky!

I LOVE LOVE the way it smells but it's not strong enough for me and it doesnt last long either.

I bought this on a whim, I liked the reviews and the notes and just decided to get it without even smelling! When I first smelled it I thought it was strong, not something I would normally wear, so I wore it a few times but didn't fall in love with it. Recently I have worn it and love the depth of the notes. Only a little sweet/fruity, woodsy, fresh and spicy!

Very very good perfume. This is something that I bought with less penny for such a beautiful product. Just got it today and when my girlfriend sprayed, it was so nice and projects magnificantly. Now I have to get one myself, I hope it's available here soon.

I bought this one on sale today. And I love it so much. very tropical but soft scent. A pleasure too wear. At first spritz I smell the pineapple and coconut that later on fuses in a soft flowery woody fume. yes very DESEO

And I bought myself the bodylotion of Deseo, which I already owned and yes, it is tropical yet again! Strange thing however is that when you look at the notes, the idea does not seem very tropical. But when you smell it, it CERTAINLY does!

This is more of a tropical scent that smells clean with hints of suntan lotion and wood. This is a perfect scent for hot weather and the beach. It's a bit strong when your first spray it but then it fuses with your skin and it becomes a smell that is soft, clean and sweet. It's more like a skin scent. This is great also for romantic nights with your significant other. I always get complimented from my husband when I wear this one!

huge fan of this! it has more complexity that her glow line(which i adore)and is a very feminine lush, rich scent of flowers and fresh wet earth. the bottle is lovely and the lasting power of the scent is wonderful.

This smells so similar to Miami Glow to me that I am almost hesitant to buy it because seriously, for tropical perfume lovers, what is better than Miami Glow?

But then in the drydown it is a lot more grown up & smokey. It seems like a natural progression from MG to Deseo.

Really ugly bottle though.

Just bought this tonight, It is BEAUTIFUL! It is a lot diffranf from what I usaly ware (Britney Spears, Mariah Carey) I just love this. It's clean and fresh! Now I got to get, what 13 more perfumes and I will have all of JLO's perfumes?lol Wow she has a lot! Just rember this one is clean and fresh!

The bottle is so difficult to handle!! i like its sweet and tropical scent, but it is not spectacular, just average.

Rather than go through the list of notes and talk about the top, heart and base notes, I just closed my eyes and let Deseo paint a picture in my mind.

I am at the beach and it is late in the afternoon. Just as the sun is setting, my friends and I build a bonfire and sit in the sand. The glowing fire warms my face and it smells dry, warm and comforting. The scent of the ocean water and sand lingers in my hair and all over my body. I am dressed in a flowing white sarong and my feet are bare. I have some flowers in my hair and their aroma is more of a whisper than a strong presence. Smoke, pina colada, earth, sand and salt permeates the air. This scene in my mind is so serene and simple...pure summertime fun!

There is a real spiciness to Deseo. I think that the spiciness is what I like best in this fragrance. Deseo is spicy with a a slight touch of tropical fruits and just a hint of some floral notes to add freshness and balance. This is a relaxing fragrance that would be suitable for any time of year. Yet, I feel that I would most enjoy it during California's warm summer days and breezy, cool evenings.

This is the first fragrance that I have tested from Jennifer Lopez and I suspect that this is the only one that I would enjoy. I like the composition here and I find Deseo to be a solid, original perfume. The sillage is adequate and on my skin, it lasts for hours.

Today at last I had the chance to try Deseo. Although on pictures the bottle looks fascinating, in real it just looks like an old piece of children toy, tacky and too plastic. This was a big disappointment for me.
At first i sprayed it on a sampling paper and with first sniff i smelled of rain in a green garden. Then the flowers came out but not in very feminine way, a woodsy smell was there too.
Then some fruity like smells come and go but not loud, just a hint of them.
After all these sampling I was satisfied enough to test it on my skin (sometimes when I do it directly some scents give me a headache and makes me nauseous).
On my skin I can smell besides all of these scents a sweet something, most probably patchouli (oh I love patchouli) which makes this scents a little bit more feminine and wearable for me.
I want to try it again though, because I didnt sprayed it on my skin directly, but in a perfume cloud.
I want to know how it smells when I spray it directly.

Yes very tropical but in a very unusual way.
And no, I could not smell any hint of coconut. I was looking for it but, unfortunately it wasn't there.

i really liked it! it's so tropical... not in bronze goddess (estee lauder) way, but more subtle...

i can only imagine how could this one behave in brazil or another tropical country!

DELICIOUS

Quite tropical this one!!!
This was the 3rd perfume in the package, thank you NathalieZ!!!

I always think this really smells like the 'intratuin': that's the name of a big garden-centre in the Netherlands, and that's not really something anyone would want to smell like.

i love this sweet wet,dewy fume.i can smell the yuzu and bamboo with hints of freesia/that alone would b enough,but u actually feel as if ur floating thru a mist covered garden smelling the sweet mimosa and gardenias.you linger there for a long time then u come out of the flowers into the sunshine where cedar trees are growing with oakmoss and a touch of musk floats thru the air.this is one of the fumes i call an experience.goes wonderfully anytime u want to be in a dreamlike fairytale mood.also,man magnet.

Got it!love it!on me.bamboo.lemon.freesia.jasmine.orange flower.and an oriental base.love that she captures the smell of a tropical garden.even a smell of a moist soil.and love that u feel in vacation with that smell.

i bought it yesterday and i like it!

I´ve tested Deseo yesterday. I love the combination of notes. I found the softness of this fragrance and the sillage very impressive. And I found it a little similar to Vocalise.

All in all, i would recommend you to set your prejudices aside and try this one if you like woody musky perfumes. Very very nice...

I sprayed this on my wrist in a shop today after reading the reviews here that suggested it was tropical and fresh with coconut notes. It's been bitterly cold here lately, so 'tropical' sounded like a nice treat.

Unfortunately, the floral top notes were unpleasantly loud, the coconut was too syrupy sweet, and that sweetness ruined any green freshness that might have saved the dry down. I couldn't get home fast enough so I could wash it off.

This was given to me as a gift and to be honest I really disliked it. It smells horrid at first sniff. However I wore it anyway. Give it a chance as the drydown is quite nice.

funny enough its my boyfriends favourite on me. Damn shame I don't really care for it. Gave me a headache :8(

I tried this on in a department store and my first thought was, huh, not bad! But there's something about it that makes me think "syrupy synthetic coconut" and after awhile that made me really want to wash it off. It was very linear on me. Not awful, but not my thing.

Eau de Pina Colada.
On me and to me it smells exactly like a Pina Colada with a fresh whiff!

Stays for about 3.5 hours, but I could still smell a little bit of coconut after that.

oh and to add (my computer blocks the edit box)DESEO is very strong and very long lasting! Two traits I LOVE!!!!

I really like this one! I didnt think I would because it thought it might smell masculine. But wow. Especailly the top and middle notes are just beautiful. I think the freesia note is what really gets me. I dont really smell coconut, but i can see how someone might think that they could smell it. I dont really smell any fruits either. Just mainly moist flowers and soil (which is actually a great thing). I do wish that there was no patchouli in this. It is barely detectable, but when deseo dries down, you can sense it. But i am quite happy with Deseo (i recieved it in a trade). I think this will be a great summer scent. :)I also believe this scent rides on the line of elegant; it could be worn to a nice outdoor party.

I'm trying to decide if I like this one. I think it's growing on me.I can't figure out where the coconut is coming from since it's not in the description and I'm really not a fan. Maybe it's one of those "hidden" notes. On me, I smell no fruit or flowers and nothing tropical. It's not an overpowering scent and would be ok for casual times. The bottle is pretty but I find it a little hard to handle.

This has to be my favorite fragrance there is just something about it that I just can't get enough of.It smells buttery and coconut like to me so unusual but something I love to keep smelling again and again. I really like this fragrance.

it is a PURE coconut in a bottle. Great for summer nights.

There are perfumes for every moment and feeling in life,, actually they could work as soundtracks in life's film, some are for the moments you want to feel light, innocent -eau de Rochas is my fav for these moments, others for feeling posh-Armani Idole- and some of them,, they feel so good, you even want to put them on after the night shower, before going to bed, sleep with them, and use them as guides to the unknown dreamlands... Probably one of the best for this,is Deseo . You put it on, and all of a sudden, the linen sheets feel like a garden, in the night, full of jasmin, grass smell, you can even smell the night moist earth..Makes me feel comfortable, secure, earth moistered by the night, i can also smell the sea in it..

This is a sensual fragrance. It’s captivating, earthy and feminine. Love the bottle, warm scent. It`s quite strong, but i like it.

every time i see this bottle i cringe. it's sucha shame cause the bottle is very pretty and unique, too bad about the overpowering scent! i think this was a miss for jennifer and it's surprising because all her other perfumes are very pleasent.

It's a nice scent. Smells a little like her Miami Glow perfume which I own and love, but this isn't quite as nice. Little bit of coconut and flowers. Nothing unique, but nice all the same.

I smell a lot of coconut here, its warm and sensual but I cannot detect the woodsy notes. What comes to me is deseo's green notes. I would not wear it nor include it on my wishlist, but I would probably wear this during summer vacation in the beach.

to me its not that bad. probably one of the best celebrity fragrances i have smelled that doesnt give off something artificial. I also think its the best out of the jlo collection. Probably wont buy it though but its really not bad to me at all

El aroma es muy dulce y a su vez como que a las horas se desvanece y ya no huele con esa intensidad que uno desearia... para mi tiene un aroma a talco suave

I like Deseo alot on some days.My mood changes from day to day. I never hardly wear the same fragrance two days in a row. I have worn all of Jlo's fragrances. I like Deseo the most. I still like Glow too, it smells good on me. Deseo drys down to a sexey woodsy smell.
I love fragrance I change it with my mood.

I thought I smelled coconut!!! Deseo smells so tropical and lovely. I can't really say what notes I smell, but they sure do blend nicely. It's not too strong, but you can still smell it. This is my favorite Jennifer Lopez fragrance out of all that I tried from her line.

Very lush and green smelling on first application, then an almost gingery spicy fragrance after about an hour. If only the smell lasted a bit longer than a couple of hours on me it would be my all time favourite.

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.

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 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!

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

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!

I don't like it. I was caught initially by the opening notes 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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.

I like JLo's perfumes, and was disappointed, when tested this one. I don't remember exactly, what type of fragrance is this, but found not good on my skin, when I tested in a perfumery. But I'm sure, I don't felt tropical scent and coconut, like the other reviewers.

its a quite usual and light scent, but nice and pleasant, although the lasting power is weak

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.

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

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!

Quite honestly one of the ugliest, bulky bottles I have ever seen. Even if I liked the perfume, I wouldn't want to see it in my collection. Looks pretty in pictures but it's hideous. As for the juice in it, it's generic, nothing special - another celebrity fragrance. Fruity and tropical. However, it's better than JLo's other perfumes.

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.
