Fragrance Review: Glow by JLo EDT
I managed to rummage through my mama's vanity stash and found this celebrity scent - Glow by JLo. The knee-jerk reaction of course is to just spray it on, then about 5 seconds into it, I decided to put my impressions in my blog. I'm no perfume expert though so I'll just write spontaneously. ;)
Mama said that the perfume was given to her by a former student so I don't really know how much it costs. However, I've seen one on Amazon and a 50 mL bottle retails for about $17.00 or about Php 860.00
Lopez said: "I wanted Glow to be fresh and clean, but still sexy and sensual – something that feels like you just came out of the shower and are the sexiest person in the world." Glow by J.Lo contains notes of: orange, grapefruit, jasmine, orris, irises, vanilla and musk. Lopez said the fragrance was created to fit what she would want to wear herself. Source: Wikipedia
Packaging
This here is the curvaceous clear white flanker of this perfume. It will remind us of Jennifer Lopez's own curvy bod. It also has a little silver charm with the JLO pendant in rhinestones.

My Take
I easily get nauseated whenever I encounter new scents so it's a joy to find out that Glow by JLo EDT didn't have such effect on me. It is also not headache-inducing.
It starts out tangy, no doubt the orange and grapefruit notes then dries to a musky smell with just a little hint of floral sweetness. It is definitely a clean and wearable scent and is inoffensive.
The staying power is quiet weak though. It stays on my skin for 2 to 3 hours, after which it is barely noticeable and becomes a skin scent but like I said, a light sweet scent is left behind. I noticed that the scent would stay longer or be more intensified if sprayed in clothes. I can still smell it on my clothes after 6 to 8 hours.
In my opinion it's not a very memorable scent; it doesn't really standout.
But you would love it for its simplicity. It is refreshing and clean and when you come from a tropical such as ours (the Philippines) and it's sweltering hot, maybe all you need is something as light as this and is not cloying. If you are feeling fresh, you will definitely glow! :)
