Glow (for women)

vdxl

To me this fragrance smells like a refined wisteria soap, screaming "Spring". Lovely, for a celebrity fragrance, its minimalism is very well expressed, giving sophistication to a category of fragrances which are often subject to kitsch. If there were a men's version of this one: a woody-floral with some white pepper notes. Please...Aa..and should I say congrats to JLo that she does not release candy smelling cologne like other celebrities?

Today My Boyfriend and I Celebrate are
1 year anniversary, and he bought me Glow and Still (both Jennifer Lopez Perfumes) and I love them both, Glow is a very Awesome fragrance!!! its a Powdery floral but has a Sexy side and that's why i love it!!!! I rate Glow 10/10

I had quite a few samples of this when it came out. I couldn't understand the hype, apart from being JLo. Some friends of mine had to have it. It smells like strong concentrated laundry powder for clothes washer with some rose flavour thrown into it for fancy effect. That's not a bad smell, but it's very synthetic and I don't like these laundry-type scents at all. It's quite pungent and sparkling, not complex, quite cheap. JLo could have done better.

For me this smell only like Lily of the Valley! A very fresh, floral and clean scent. It`s a little bit boring for me. But I like the bottle very much.

I was iniitally put off Glow by the fact it smelt like cheap soap on the paper test strip.

However, I persevered and wore it to work. I am so glad I did as it smells much better on skin.

It is fresh and floral, and very feminine. Don't expect citrus and zesty, this is floral, powdery and slightly spicy.

At first application you get a burst of florals, predominantly jasmine. This mellows to the soft, powdery, oriental and floral heart notes. These notes are long-lasting and it takes a while to finally dry-down to fresh soapy/musky base notes.

It skims perilously close to smelling too soapy but is just saved by the fact that the floral notes are pleasant and enduring throughout.

It has a lot of stamina for a floral fragrance too.

this is were its all began! All the celebrities cashing in on stamping their names on perfumes! but hey I love celebrity perfumes well some of them. Anyways, my friend used to wear this when it first came out and I LOVED it! she smelt so good and lasted a very long time! and I always liked the little chain and j.lo thing on the bottle!

Not a particularly unique scent- it smells a lot like "Rain" incense. I just found it too strong, a girl at work would wear it and I always felt nauseated when she walked in the room, but maybe she put on too much.

Glow by Jennifer Lopez was released in the uk when I was 13 years old and I can remember testing it each and everytime I went out shopping and I couldn't seem to understand or appreciate the scent, it did intrigue me but I never thought that I would actually want to own a bottle myself. At that age I think its very easy to be drawn in by anything sweet and fruity, so Glow was the kind of scent that I had never experienced before.

I'm now 18 and Glow is one of my favourite perfumes, I love how fresh and clean the fragrance is, it reminds me of stepping out of a hot, relaxing shower and the way the glass door and mirrors stay misty and dewy afterwards and the damp air smells so humid and fresh.

It is a very sexy, sensual fragrance, but in a subtle and intrigueing way. Whenever I wear this fragrance I feel very confident, calm and clean regardless of my surrondings, I wore this today on a very humid 2 hour train and underground journey during rush hour and I love how the fragrance seems to subtley wrap itself around me and keep me feeling cool and fresh. Its one of my favourites and I'm looking to buy a large bottle so I can wear it on a more daily-basis :)

CUPCAKEDOLL

I have it!. Smells clean and fresh, but also floral and delicate. I think it has been discontinued (or in my country is so hard to find). Perfect for summer days!

dalkiuyu

very clean and soapy...reminds me of newly washed towels. a nice scent, but who wants to smell like laundry? i prefer j. lo's love at first glow...it's more "perfumey."

om

Nice bottle, not bad smell, but on me it "sounds" very sintetic - will try to get rid of it..

elly77

Had it twice, liked it very much. It smells clean and a little soapy, it feels like you just came out of shower, like Sicily mentioned. J Lo wanted it to be like that as far as I know.
It's no good for a date, not seductive, it's for your own pleasure in my opinion. The only perfume by J Lo that I like.

APassionateJourney

This is sill one of my favorites! I can't believe this is an EDT. Sometimes I can smell it DAYS later! The lasting power is one of the best I've ever experienced!

Anna_C

This smells very similar to sunscreen - the regular sunscreen, not the pleasant fruity kind. Not a fan.

finduillas

...i love it!...maybe it is not a ary sophisticated fragrance...but really pleasant and warm..i love to smell it aroundwhen the wind is blowing.
Bit soapy, creamy...I mean, sexy!

justine_gayle

This is like Demeter's laundromat mixed with moroccan rose. It's staying power is good. I sprayed it 5 hours ago and it still smells strong on me til now.

If you love powdery / soapy scents, you'd love this one.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.

Spring25

I got the perfume and lotion set as a gift. I really like the clean soapy rose scent. I've never smelled anything like it before. It's a nice light refreshing scent that I could imagine I'd really like wearing on hot summer days. It only lated a couple hours on me today, which is very cold, wintry day. Good price, though, so I don't mind respraying the fragrance a couple times throughout the day.

Chatnoir

What a horrible scent. I got a tiny bottle of this in a gift set, and boy am I glad that I didn't spend any money on it. This stuff is the definition of cheap perfume. Synthetic-y vanilla and muddled florals that fade out into something that smells vaguely of sweaty skin caked with old powder. I don't, as a rule, throw perfume away, but I tossed the little tester of this stuff.

menaman

the soft and sweet type of scent is suitable enough for a mild activity, but not for an occasion.

missk

I appreciate that Jennifer Lopez wanted this perfume to smell fresh and clean, but in my opinion perfume should be about creating something that is memorable and unlike anything else. If I wanted to smell like Glow, I would go and have a shower and use my $1 soap to recreate this scent. I don't understand why celebrities like to play it safe with their fragrances, go out there and make something crazy and unique!

I find Glow to be very light and soft on the skin. The lasting power is fairly average and the scent stays very close to the skin. If you're a fan of Jennifer Lopez I'd probably skip this perfume and try some of her other fragrances.

lovinitxx

i used to love this because it smelled so clean
but now it smells to me really synthetic and cheap
:(

marie08

It's a nice clean musky scent that I really like. It stays close to you and makes you smell shower fresh.

sharyssa

Very longlasting scent.I smell rose,soap and just freshness! Very well done although it smells similar to Paul Sebastian Casual perfume.But Glow smells better.

Malibu

I’m not sure how to describe Glow, other then fresh & clean, I don’t pick up on the individual notes, and I just get the overall impression of an energetic burst & soap.

It’s great for everyday wear, as it has great staying power. Keep a bottle in your bag for when you have to use public transport – one spray really helps you to feel cleansed.


On the down side you must spray lightly. I’ve been too heavy handed a few times & had migraines as a result.

falovalo

I was surprised that I actually liked this. It's very clean and slightly soapy without being overwhelming. The only problem is that lots of women have and wear this so its easily recognizable, but really, who cares?

emily1981

I'm a fan of JLo, but this perfume stinks and gives me a headache. Smells cheap! Hate it!!!

Leesee

There is nothing more exhilarating than the ghost of a wonderful scent after its wearer has left the premises. Glow manages to combine the ghost with the flesh in a perfume that clings, caresses, and comforts.

mmsmlzgud546

This is the top clean fragrance! I know it says the drydown has sandlewood and musk but all that does it set the light powdery scent. It is so fresh without being artifical or fruity. Dont use too much or it ruins the notes. It really lasts and the price is good.

Marianne

I can understand most of you - it is a very clean, fresh (and, as I feel, unique) smell that's got both lovers and opponents. It might smell like a cleaning product, but like a good one. It's one of the "well-done synthetic" fragrances, I would say.
Of course, you can get sick of it if you wear or smell it too often, but that's the case with every perfume, I would say. (The same like a good piece of music - you don't listen to it every day - just for special occasions)

sweet_joy

Most people don't like Glow at all. For me it was love at first smell. Fresh, clean, light, like you just have got out shower. It's feminine, delicate and not invasive. Perfect for hot days and for work.

LizzieM

"Never in a million years will i try this" I said to myself as I turned my nose up in a very snobby manner. Not for me this celebrity caper.
So it came as a surprise to me when I found myself spraying it onto my wrist this week............ crikey..........it is really good! It does what it does really well, and I like what you get for your money here. OK I will admit that I was wrong!
I can't say that I will buy a bottle at the drop of a hat, will need to try it again once more, and keep my eyes peeled for it in a sale.

snobuni77

Honestly I hate this perfume.I have the sample bottle & every time I try to use it I regret it.MY sister had used it once & it smelled to me like she had just takin a shower but it wasnt anything great.I highly doubt it would turn a guy on either

carrot

I'm not happy with this smell, cheap soap, really disappointed. I would not buy it anymore.

braziliangirl

I really love this perfume, i live in brazil and here is so hot . This fragrance is perfect here .

XSX

It does have a soapy note to it, but I kinda like it, cause it gives you a feeling of extreme cleanliness and freshness. This is great for keeping that "I just came out of the shower" feeling.
Now, I do like Miami Glow much better, but this one is also exquisite.
Although I don't generally like celebrity perfumes, I am a big fan of J Lo's. :)

Reem

After a while staying on my skin, it got much better. It was horrible at the beginning just like a cleaning detergent! but then it became lovely smelling, floral and clean.

guest_Marie J

This is one of the best fragrances ever. Smells so clean and fresh and it does last so long that I bet a bottle would last someone over a year, the staying power is that good that you would only need about 2 sprays and that's it also combined with the lotion you will be smelling yourself all day!

rheea oana

When I saw the ingredients in this fragrance I thought they were wrong, because such beautifull scents combined can't smell that bad!

Sorry but I don't like it I don't get any hint of the citric notes only something synthetic mixed with sweet baby powder!

nihh

I love this perfume is very femenine and fresh smells great!!! the bottle is very cute jlo's perfumes are awesome this one and still are my favorites

sjanira

Out of date? I doubt anytime soon this or any other of JIo's perfumes will go out of date. I agree with guest marie, I've read quite a few reviews here in this website and there's pretty much nothing she likes (Niat) -(very picky person I guess) Anyway, the fragrance smells like a strong bouquet of flowers, but certainly not like a chemical or cleaning product. True the fragrance has a very strong flowery soapy scent but in a good way. It's a fresh, clean, floral scent so to each it's own.

bluesuze

This is a lovely scent. I like to spray it on after I take a shower for days where I don't want to wear a heavy fragrance. It also doesn't contain that sugary sweetness that I can't stand with most celebrity perfumes. I'll be wearing this for a long time.

guest_marie j

out of date? but still sold at Macy's though! Whatever. Who are you the Fragrance Patrol? Telling people whats in and whats not? I happen to like glow and I'll wear it until retirement age if I want to! But anyway,I like the soapy rose scent and I personally think it is one of the better scents out there. There are too many sweet fragrances this is something clean and nice out of the shower!

sealprincess

I love Glow, it reminds me of Breathless from Victoria's Secret. A very pleasant scent. Nice and light, soft, and feminine. Love it!!!! Great bottle too.

eccentricJ

Got this as a gift several years ago...not my favorite but its light and airy..I wear it occasionally

chance25

I believe JLo's inspiration for this perfume was China Rain by Terra Nova. It's hard to describe b/c in certain ways it does smell like soap, or like a cleaning agent BUT,the kind you wish you could wear as a perfume. This is not like the CLEAN line of perfumes. This is more aquatic and airy. Great silage, this is why I like this one so much!

dioradddict

wow, and it´s really very long lasting at all...

dioradddict

I agree with Vickalena, the top notes really evokes de fresh scent of shower but after some time u can smell the lovely vanilla and it smells very delicate and feminine.there´s really something a little bit synthetic in its top notes, but they go away in 1 hour or a half. it´s not a bad fragrance, but it smells better on my pillows, bed and wardrobe then on my skin...

Vickalena

I will agree with opinion that the beginning of this aroma - a flowery soap and clean freshly washed skin. Do you mean this to be a "horrible smell"?

Its base is very nice - fruity-flowery-musk-y, with wonderful natural aroma of vanilla and a violet root. You have to wait for it, but the expectation pays off.

tinuviel8

It smells like cheap soap. I know she was trying to invoke the after-shower smell and feel when she sat down to create this one, but come on, can't you be a little more creative, Jen?

Mareseis

I used to love this and I still do because it brings out memories, but I wouldn't wear it.

amanda

its true that it can seem a bit synthetic, but very clean and clear at the same time, actually i like it, its not my fav of the glow line though. And i love the bottle, its feminine and beautiful

Anja.deboer@live.nl

I am 56 years old and it is my favorite summerfragrance. It reminds me of te smel of fresly ironed laundry at my grandma's house. Just have to close my eyes and I am in her house again. But then all my favorite fragrances remind of nice things in my past.

guest_ZoeM

I hate it too! Its a terrible fragance. And not only on my skin I try it on a blotter and the smell still reminds me the chemical for cleaning the floors (I hate when a fragance smell like this products)

Sicily

I am 26 years old and I like Glow! Ten-year old uses Disney, as far as I know. OK, it's celebrity, but it is very fine, and her best fragrance in my opinion.
Her inspiratin was fresh shower, and that is exacty how Glow smells like. Smells soapy and like soft flowers, like you just came out of shower, b/c it was meant to smell that way. It may be strong when you first spray it on, but it is quite light and pleasant, great for everyday. Fantastic bottle!
