Deseo

Deseo and I go way back! I remember how excited I was for this fragrance to come out in 2007. And when it finally did I couldn't wait to test and buy it, since I LOVE all of Jennifer Lopez' fragrances. After rushing to the nearest perfume shop i couldn't wait to see the bottle and take a sniff. I didn't like it all! 1 thought it smelled like morning breath. I know, EW! I was 19 at the time. A year goes by and we're in spring/summer '08. The weather was gorgeous! While shopping i stumbled upon a Deseo set. 50ml with a tiny lotion and a shower gel. I got it, cuz i knew i would eventually. Even if it is just for the bottle. But luckily I liked the scent way more then a year before. Probably because it was sunny, which is more suitable to wear this fragrance. I could go on and on about the path where desire(deseo) took me in the years to come. I'm 25 at the moment, and I adore this scent. With every age i grow i appreciate this complex fragrance even more. I go through the whole experience with the Deseo necklace, lotion and shower gel. As wel as the Deseo for men aftershave and deodorant and roll ons. Funny to think now how I hated this one at first. Think about when your on holiday, getting ready for the beach. Got your pretty swimsuit on, oiled yourself up, put your sunglasses on and just basically getting ready for a fun day at the beach. You've had a lemon ice cream and lemon Fanta. Your surrounded by the smell of the ocean, the hot sand and the palm trees. The day is finished and you get home, ready to take a shower. That is what Deseo smells like to me. The end of a perfect summer day. Just sunny fabulousness! And the great great thing about this is, after you took your shower, put your nice clothes on, lather yourself up with lotion and getting ready to go out for a nice dinner outside when its a little darker. You can still put on this fragrance and feel really classy, fresh, clean and sexy. Its the perfect summer fragrance which is suitable for day AND night. It's almost a 2 in 1 fragrance. Spring is also a great season to wear this too, even fall. Not so sure about winter, though. So go buy it already! Make it your summer fragrance. Plus its super affordable. You won't like it immediately perhaps, but you'll love it in the long run, I promise. LOVE!

Deseo is a such genuine fragrance, but it is overlooked due to the attached celebrity brand and celebrity brands' target audiences - young women who want tooty-fruity-sugar-candy bombs in cute bottles. Deseo is a beautiful, fully rounded fragrance that is bursting with sunny salicylates. The result is that of your skin after applying sun tan oil and allowing it to dry. You know the smell of the Banana Boat Tanning Oil? That's basis of Deseo. It's bright, warm, humid, smooth, a touch green, and just a hint of citrus. To me, it is very natural smelling. There is a very nice TAMED coconut nuance that comes and goes and never tries to be the star of Deseo (coconut is usually overpowering). Towards the end, there is a hint of a mineral accord, which actually disrupts the overall natural smell of Deseo. It makes Deseo smell slightly "perfume-y". It doesn't smell like a garden in the least bit to me. I don't get any off-putting greenness or any sweetness. Nor do I get "men's cologne" that others have mentioned. I can't really call this a floral - I believe the "notes" are listed to give you an idea of what you "might" be smelling. It smells like my skin after a long, fun day in hot weather at the pool and I'm getting ready to leave the pool or beach and head back home to shower and relax. This thing is absolutely unisex and miles better than the men's release (which is resembles a generic body spray on the first wear until you actually familiarize yourself with the accords). This is a successful blind buy for me which has become extremely rare for me these days. I'm glad to have secured a 100ml bottle now that it's been discontinued.

Deseo is my 3rd most favorite Jlo perfume! For me, Deseo by Jlo is the most beautiful fragrance she has created, from the packaging, the gorgeous bottle design which is like a gem...the aquamarine color and light gold lid is just so elegant and so perfect! Upon spraying the top notes definitely takes you in a place like a tropical garden after the rain...so invigorating and fresh, the aroma of the bamboo leaves shines the most then the other notes yuzu, bergamot and florals blends so well with that of the bamboo leaves making the scent bright and lively and just really really beautiful. The drydown is a little bit sweet and it makes the overall scent stand out because it incorporates so well with the top and middle notes which stays for such a long time. It is the most refreshing tropical vibe after the rain in the garden scent which is magnificent! I got the gift set when it first came out and I was blown away with that of the packaging! It came with a lotion, a rollerball and 100 ml perfume bottle. I absolutely love it! The lotion smells so good, as good as the perfume and it made my skin so soft and smooth. I wish Jlo and her business partners didn't discontinue this fragrance, I hope she will bring it back in the market. Overall performance of Deseo is 100% great! Jlo did an excellent job on this one plus the perfume advertisment is perfect! I love it so much forever! Jlo pls. bring this back! Pls. Fragrantican friends like my comment or respond to me if you agree with me! Thank you!

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.

Deseo one of Jennifer Lopez's most beautiful fragrances. Deseo is a very exotic,clean, green, and fresh fragrance. The box for this is very simple but luxurious with the gold. The bottle, in my opinion, is one of the most people out there. It is supposed to look like a diamond in the rough, I suppose. The colors remind me of the beach with the blue symbolizing the water and the yellow the bright and sunny sky. The scent is very unique from others. The top opened woth a sharp fesh bamboo, bergamot, and the yuzu. This eventually leads to the midnotes which I get the scent of gardenia and the mimosa adding for a delicious tropical smell. Eventually when the fragrance begins to die down, we are left with the amber, sandalwood, and small trace of pachouli. *fun fact-the initial spray is very reminiscent of Katy Perry purr because of the bamboo. Sillage: avarage Longevity: 7 hours A MAN can easily pass wearing this fragrance because of the woody character but if you are a man that does not feel comfortable wearing a tropical scent like this, you can always try Deseo for men.
