Glowing Jennifer Lopez for women

Okay..initial blast of the first 5 minutes...headache city! It did settle and morph into a heady floral sweetness, and the lower notes come out when it sits longer. It really is another celebrity fragrance related to Fancy Love, but it retains the original Glow close to the skin element. It is a bit deeper than Fancy Love and little mellower. The darkness in this is not like a dark wood but rather a skinscent musk and a mix of faint wood. Nothing too spectactular. I am a fragrace diva and wish I didn't buy the hype. I bought this fragrance online for 70.00 bucks, because I love the original Glow. This is a skip, until it opens up to a broader market or retailer, if I were to purchase it again. It is similiar to Sensuous Nude minus the coconut citrus top notes from the Estee Lauder line. Being honest, I would buy another bottle of EL over this in a second. There had been some comparison made to Cashmere Mist,which is in a higher end all together. I love CM and wear it often and can say that CM is 1000 times better in longetivity, sillage, and quality. I would gladly pay 70.00 for a small Cashmere Mist or Sensuous Nude. It is nice for what it is, but too overpriced. Let me say this, I love Deseo, Glow and Miami Glow, because they were so unique and were well made for a celebrity fragrance. She seems to capture essences for everyday glamour, however with everything available to her, this could have been a ground breaker. Celebrity scents could be well made, if they really smell what is already out there to and move from what has already been done.

I went 2 Kohls specifically 2 try this one and it was very well done but rather pricey... I found 2b very different from wuts out there now as far as composition... Its a very clean fragrance with a hint of spice and woods... May be a bit heavy 4 daytime 4 the timid among us but would b excellent 4 a summer night out... Still smelling my wrist as I'm typing this well over 5 hrs later :)

I humbly broke down and purchased (a small bottle), even after my last review of the heavier powder dry down. I just can't give up the overall earthy cypress and amber, unisex layers of uniqueness this fragrance offers. Something about it completely captivates my senses over and over.

Went to Kohls today for a mattress topper for my bed, and saw huge displays of Glowing, could not resist trying to spritzed a little on my arm and then continued on to the housewares area, kept getting whiffs of this wonderful scent, occurred to me it was coming from me! I went back to the perfume to spritz more before leaving the store..lol. When I got home I told my hubby and had him smell, he didn't give much reaction at first, then he went out in garage. Like 10 minutes later he comes in the house and is like "what perfume is that again?" and wanted to smell it again. He said "wow, you need to get that" Then I was like wow! If you only knew how many different perfumes I had him smell over the last year, and only very few catch his "attention". So it looks like I will be getting a bottle of this, but have to wait until I have extra cash since it's like a whopping $50! Smells BEAUTIFUL after it dries down, soft, clean, slight powdery..LOVE IT!

This is certainly different than any of JLO's other perfumes. It has a really interesting clean/spicey scent to it. It is the perfect combination of the two. I have to admit when I first put it on I really did not care for it at all but then a few hours later it dried down to a really clean/spicey scent and it just sits there and lingers. There is also something sort of tropical about it too almost beachy. Maybe some woody note? The lasting power is impressive. It just gets better the longer it sits on your skin. I am glad JLO got out of her tropical fruity rut and went for something different. Nice!
***I just wanted to add that the lasting power of this perfume is fantastic! I got 12+ hours out of it. I am so buying some of this!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!! *****

I tried this on today at Kohl's, and I really like it! To me the scent is similar to Estee Lauder's Sensuous Nude. Bottle is very pretty. I plan to buy Glowing soon.

I will agree and say that this is a clean scent- however, it is not boring. I wouldn't say it's an "old folks" fragrance either. It's classy. This would be a wonderful special occasion perfume- or even just going out with your friends to dinner. I would recommend at least sampling this at your local Kohls. Especially because they have a card with a sample of the perfume right now. This is pretty good in my eyes. Nice to see a celebrity fragrance putting some class into it. NOTE: SHE ALSO UPPED THE PRICE THIS TIME AROUND.

@RAINBOW.OWL2.....YEAH, ARE U? OR YOU TOO OFFENDED BY YOUNGSTER PERFUME?....cause this is not even mid-age scent to me anyway...this stinks period...2each is own !

hmmm... I hope when I'm an 'older retired woman' I don't suddenly have to give up all lovely perfumes and suddenly start wearing all the 'youngsters' rejects and stinky 'old' fumes...

This smells like I just stepped out of the shower after washing with a Victoria's Secret body gel. It's a great smell, but I could just re-enact that situation at a cheaper price than this.

this is clean at first....but my bf and bff ...hated it as soon as they smelled me as i sampled it on my body....this yelled "OLDER WOMAN IN retired age group really....loud..lol! JLO MADE THIS FOR HER MOM! OK SCENT THOUGH...JUST MUCH OLDER SMELLING..NOT INBETWEEN!

Have some from Kohls...surprisingly nice and the hubby liked it!

The Kohls stores where I live finally got this. I was out and about and decided to give Glowing a whirl. It's really nice; I love the woody undertones. It smells clean and while I normally don't like "clean", this one has enough earthiness to keep me interested. This one kinda reminds me of "Love and Light", but with less floral. I bought the body lotion and IMO, I think it smells like the perfume. It's interesting that J.Lo has deviated from the tropical, fruity frags to frags that are earthy, woody, and floral; very different shift I think, but a good one. If you're looking for a clean, woody, slightly powdery frag then give Glowing a try.

Tovah..Im sooo glad you compared this to sensuous and cashmere mist as I did!!! It smells more and more like CM as it dries down to me though. I get absolutely NO BS curious (which I have and like too)..but thats cool that you did!

I just cant wait to get this gorgeous scent!

The ad, with all of Jennifer Lopez, oiled and radiating, made me expect this to be a very different fragrance from what it is. I know this is marketed as the "sexiest" of Lopez's fragrances, but, overall, it's really more of an office-safe, clean, fresh, woody floral. I think it's wonderful! I was checking out sales at Kohl's this morning, and I could smell this everywhere. Etagieres loaded with boxes of it were placed throughout the store, along with hanging posters, and there were testers galore. Who could resist? When I first entered the store, I thought I was smelling Estee Lauder Sensuous. Then I was inundated with all the Glowing, everywhere. I love Sensuous, so I immediately spritzed from a tester. At first, I got the peppery, woody, spicy notes that called to mind Sensuous, but very quickly I smelled a mild floral; possibly lily of the valley? I was disappointed for about an hour, because my nose couldn't decide if it was smelling Sensuous, or DK Cashmere Mist. I'd really been hoping for something that stood out. However, several hours after I was out of Kohl's, I kept getting whiffs of something wonderful. I kept sniffing my arm, and sniffing my arm...and I kept thinking, "I KNOW this scent." Several hours later, Glowing going strong, it's finally occured to me...on my skin, this is very similar to Britney Spears Curious! The beginning of both fragrances is quite different, but there's no doubt for me, (since I've sprayed Curious on my other arm), that these are definitely along the same lines. While others may shiver in horror, I'm actually delighted, because I adore Curious. I'd been searching for something similar for years, and I hadn't found a thing. I like to have a fragrance that's not necessarily evocative, or emotionally stimulating. One that's easy, and pretty, and uplifting, that just plain smells good. Glowing is this kind of scent, and its reasonable price makes it a great buy. If you're looking for the likes of Ernest Beaux creations, don't look here. If you want something so darn pretty it's irresistible, give this a try. Personally, I like the bottle. I think it's different, and fun. I have a weakness for tacky celebrity packaging. My Montales aren't nearly as eye-catching. ;)

I love everything about this fragrance. The bottle, the spicy floral scent... Amazing! It's by far her most sophisticated scent. This, deseo and live are my faves!

I just wanted to add...jlo is definitely back in the perfume game after this! I'm so glad she put some time into this one and made an amazing and quality scent (the bottle does not do the scent justice! ) this is a WOMAN'S perfume. And makes me feel so sexy...

This is beautiful! To me it smells like an exact mix of estee lauders sensuous and cashmere mist. This is clean...but a very warm clean. I would say its a fall scent...and its very long lasting and sexy. My husband actually loves it! Definitely will be getting a bottle when I can...but just a small on since it lasts so long!

This is Jennifer's most sophisticated and mature scent, In my honest opinion. I smelled it at Kohls and I would've purchased it yesterday when I smelled it but they only had the 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz bottles and I wanted to buy the big bottle of it even though I'm trying NOT to buy big bottles of things these days since I don't ever use em up but I did buy a big bottle of something earlier this month and I can't get a big botttle of THAT person's and not get a big bottle of Jennifer's. Thank goodness TODAY (3/25/12)I was able to find the big 2.7 oz bottle and lotion at another Kohls and scooped it up : ).


So, moving on, this scent, IMO, is the Great-Granddaughter of WHITE DIAMONDS by Elizabeth Taylor and the half-Sister of Coco Chanel Mademoiselle. Two VERY different fragrances. I say White Diamonds in because of the strength and the maturity of the fragrance. It starts off smelling very.....older and very citrusy. Here is where Chanel Coco Mademoiselle comes in. The bergamot plays a game of Peek-A-Boo with you and there's a hint of powdery musk that fades in the background. This isn't a fragrance that I believe teens will love. (However, I am sure they will be intrigued by the bottle "Glowing")

If I had to choose which scent out of Jennifer's this is closest to, and I can do that since I've smelled them all except Deseo Forever and Eau De Glow, I would say this smells like Love and Light but they've replaced the berries and fruits with bergamot and other citrus fruits and they've upped the ante. This one is a lot stronger and wayyyyy more mature.


UPDATE: 4/26/12 (The Body Lotion)
The body lotion doesn't really smell anything like the scent. It is soooooooooooooooooo masculine, and the scent is kinda masculine, and smells like a man's aftershave. I really like it, though. Not thick but goes into the skin quickly. YESS! Jennifer Lopez is BACK!

Apparently this is only available at Kohl's (and online at places like eBay, of course). I tried it on today and though it's not my style, it's really great for a celebrity fragrance. The woody undertones are a nice addition to the citrusy and original "Glow" feeling of the fragrance. Just like the description says, it's like a more sophisticated Glow... Glow all grown up. The bottle is very pretty too! Only the bigger 1.7 oz and 3.4 oz bottles light up though, the 1.0 oz size doesn't have a light in it.

Tried this perfume on in Kohls and it's really nice. It reminds me of Britney Spears Curious, but I like the Glowing much better.

My first reaction to this perfume was "spicy!"

I'm not fragrance expert, and I'm sure to some of your noses this is not a particularly spicy perfume... but it was the first thing I noticed.
I smell the orange and the spicyness right at the beginning.
Then I can smell the cypress. The middle is a woody spicy scent and the dry down is powdery.

The actual bottle was a good idea, but I think the light actually makes it look cheap. It's a bright blue light that clearly shines from the top (creates more of a ring around the top rather than glowing illusion). It reminds me of a glow stick. A warm yellow light would have complemented this bottle much better. Ah well.

All in all I prefer this over GLO, but not over LIVE(as far as jlo fragrances go).

Also, I am not sure when it actually comes out, but I work at kohls and we have boxes of the stuff waiting to be put out.

Tried it on at Kohls, starts off young, with a pop of citrus. Settles into a warm, creamy musk but almost too powdery after an hour, like spilling a canister of spicy talc. Pretty, but not for me. It almost won me over until the powdery canvas kicked it. The bottle is something that deserves a double take, a novelty!

cute idea for the bottle but im tired of celebrity fragrances I stick to the original ones like glow and live, curious and sjp covet. i ended up giving away my bottle of love and glamour it smelled good but zero lasting power and I haven't tried anything but the oldies from jlo every since. If it ain't broke don't fix it! glow and live will be a permanent part of my collection as far as anything new if I see it I will sniff but im not going out of my way to do it.

It's on Kohls' website. Finally. Haha. It needs to be in-store! I'm tired of waiting. Haha.

So her new music video is pretty much an ad for Glowing. Haha! After watching the video, I'm digging the bottle now. I'm tired of waiting for Glowing! Haha! : )

Is it out now Jasminalia? I thought is was not out untill May? Did you see the bigger bottle? Ware is it? Kohle's? Thanks....

To all of you dissin the bottle, did any of you ever think that maybe the bottle had to be bigger for the light in side to work?
Your all hatein on it now, but when you have it and pull it out in a dark Bar or Club you know this s#!t is going to be a stone smash groove hit wonder!! people WILL come up to you and want to know about it! It will be an AMAZING convo startes. I really can NOT wait to get it and try it out in the clubs! yea!!!!
Smart of you Jennifer! # 18 will be the best yet!

OMG!!!!! I Just read the story about this! SOOOO Excited for GLOWING! This could be her best Fragrance yet! My favorite right now by JLO is Love & Light. This is going to be the Fragrance of the year!

that bottle's nucking fugly! -____- she needs to slow her roll she's punching out to many fragrances...someone's money hungry && da-esperate!

The bottle reminds me of Elizabeth Arden splendor. I owned still jennifer lopez before & it was very pretty. I'll try other things from her line including this one, I think she's the best celebrity to make modern scents these days.

I'm gonna buy this, coz i am a big fans of J.Lo, her music, n her perfumes.. the only perfumes of her that i still don't have is Love&Light, Deseo (i don't buy it coz it's the same with Deseo Forever which i already have), Deseo for Men, n Eau De Glow

Hmm she just keeps them coming,Well I would like to smell this just because I own quite a bit from her already.
