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.

This is different in a good way. For the most part I really do like Jennifer Lopez' fragrances. I'm never one to turn my nose up at celebrity scents; I don't care whose name is on the bottle, it's what's on the inside that counts in my book. Jennifer Lopez fragrances are nothing but consistent; if you like soft, more delicate floral fruity types of compositions, you will never be let down. I must say, Deseo really surprised me. When I first sprayed it, I was surprised by how unisex it smelled off the bat, almost masculine really. On the opening, it has a very strong but fresh spicy element to it, and it kind of threw me for a loop. A few minutes later, I got a lot of Jasmine, Mimosa and Musk finished off with Oakmoss and Cedar. Personally, I am so glad there is no vanilla in this composition, and I grow weary of Patchouli bombs; however, 'how' the patchouli is incorporated into the heart of Deseo is really lovely. In my opinion, Deseo is fresh, spicy, soft, warm and dreamy. If you like Jennifer Lopez fragrances, this is a wonderfully different. P.S. The bottle is GORGEOUS!!!!!

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.

Deseo is one of my favourite perfumes. Its definitely not your average generic celebrity perfume. Its quite bold compared to her usual clean, Fresh or fruity perfumes. Probably won't appeal to the younger generation, as I'm in my late 20s, I think that's why I find deseo more appealing than her other scents. Each person will detect notes differently. Its spicy and woody. To me, upon first spray the Amber, patchouli and sandalwood are the notes that stand out. It is quite strong. After ten minutes it does settle down on the skin. It scent dosent seem to develop on me. It reminds me of Cinnamon. I don't get the coconut scent that's been mentioned. i dont know what bamboo smells like, but i can understand it smells a little forestry. It smells exactly like a candle i have which is patchouli amber. Ive been asked a few times what perfume im wearing. Ive also had compliments from men because its spicy and woody.

LMAO @ big pointless lump! TOO cute :-) I don't mind the bottle at all, but I can relate, finding a huge dislike for many other bottles. As said by another, this is summer in a bottle. I can't imagine what others smell that is offensive to them. I find this comparable to Blue Seduction. It wears beautifully, lasts, and is like a second skin. This scent just seems to melt into your whole being, well, mine anyway. It's comfortable and friendly. I find this to be her best perfume, annnnd one of mine also! This isn't really a heavy scent, but I think it's plenty strong enough that even someone that wears Youth Dew would find this surprisingly substantial. You should probably try this one out before purchasing since many people are finding this offensive. I'll be wearing this a lot this summer. It's a sun warmed beach towel after a cool dip in the water.

Say hello to this gem! Deseo is a scent to die for! Like, the goddess of all perfumes, imo. All the smeels blend together so perfectly and create this amazing feeling of one of those beaches that you see in resort photos that you only dream you can get to set your toes in the sand of. What is actually quite crazy is that Deseo actually had an effect on me. Like it literally made me happy. It was euphoric on me and overwhelmed me with joy. This is quite easily the most plesent scent I have ever used on my body. Its a lovely warmth, like exoctic warmth. It's a refreshing cool tone, like scuba diving with fish in crystal clear see through water. This scent is just by far the best scent I have ever used. My recommendation: Try, try, try! Its defiantly more than worth a try, so go out of your way to spray and sniff this beauty!!!

Soo weird..people detect coconut here..but there is no any coconut here in the pyramid. My nose does not feels any coconut here either. This was a very lovely, bright, warm scent with a prevalent notes of a tropical beach. I would say its a little bit aquatic (maybe cedar makes it) and citrus scent, covered up with a hints of flowers and a slight hint of a bamboo. Patchouli is not too strong and its delicate. Not sweet and not fresh fragrance, not green and not totally aquatic, not masculine at all and not girly. For the woman 25+.. Sadly it has been discontinued. I am missing it. Did not find anything similar to this fragrance. This one was standing out among other celebrity fragrances which typically I am not a fan of. JLO.."why did you told to this scent goodbye? This was the best scent under your name!"

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.

Deseo is what I imagine a tropical storm would smell like. It begins almost unisex- warm, wet, woody and citrusy. You get definite bamboo and citrus in the top notes, and like other reviewers have said, it's unbelievable that there's no coconut note here. It's a beautifully balanced coconut feel- not a sweet one, which mingles gorgeously with the floral midnotes and sexy, exotic drydown. It's a shame this one was discontinued. I think it's also incredibly underrated for a celebrity scent. Great longevity and sillage. To sum it up, Deseo is NOTHING like Glow and all of its flankers. No soapiness or fruit juice here. If you're looking for a sexy, exotic scent that's tropical in a grown-up way, this is an absolute gem!

Sweet and cheerful, not candy-sweet though. After i ordered this online, i tried to imagine how would fell this potion on my skin. Others's reviews didn't helped much, all were, of course, subjective. My Deseo arrived, bottle charmed me from the start and still has the same effect. Deseo flushed me with joy, is quite a cheerful, feminine scent, suggesting sunshine and comfort. I lack the experiences of cocktails at the edge of the pool, or reading in a hammock under palmtrees, therefore i'll refrain from the cliché. Deseo is the right choice when I want a smile, a comforting summery scent. This, for me, is the 2nd celebrity perfume well chosen, after the beautifully made SJP's Lovely.

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!

To me, the initial spray is very rubbing alcohol-ish. Very strong and potent. After it dries a little longer, I get a less harsh, citrusy, mineral scent! It's quite lovely and unique in my opinion! I can definitely pick up the creaminess of the gardenia in the heart! The base to me, smells exactly like the heart. Nothing much changes! It's a lovely summer fragrance, but personally I would choose Deseo Forever! The bottle and packaging are both amazing! I love both concepts! Everything is just so pretty to look at! I would definitely recommend this fragrance for people looking to try something new!

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!

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 really adore this one. Its not expensive, hyped or famous. I had it when it got released i 2008 and bought it preloved again today for a bargain price. It`s a very well blended mixture of bambooleaf, patchouli, musky, amber, citrus and woods. No coconut are on note list.. but I detect that too. It smells clean , cosy and feminine. When I wear it cant stop sniffing my wrist. Silage is moderate and scent is very long lasting on both skin and clothes. No need to say I` m a big fan of this little underestimated gem ! Reminds me a bit of Truth from Calvin Klein... only better.

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.

This has quickly taken over my favorite fragrance to wear to bed! Normally, I love to wear tuberose or gardenia frags to bed... but this is a beautiful change of pace. It's so smooth and "shower fresh" without being soapy! There's a very interesting "humid" accord. Humid isn't ever used in a positive manner, but when I say humid I mean it in the best possible way. The next morning, my pillows/sheets just smell heavenly. It's just ethereal! I really need to run to eBay to buy one last bottle before this thing is gone for good! *I left a real review in December 2016.

This scent isn't really talked about and I don't understand why. Deseo is a unique, standout fragrance. The top note of bamboo leaf threw me for a loop. I actually hadn't sniffed this note before and it took me on a joyride. A cruise through a far-off island, wind flowing through my hair, faint scent of citrus lingering on my fingers, enveloped by the surrounding green flora, warmed by the softness of woods and musk. Deseo is a gem-from the shape of its bottle to the liquid that surrounds me in a distant dream. *** Sillage: moderate Longevity: long-lasting

Blindly sampled DESEO years ago and fell in love. Finally purchased a bottle through Ebay this summer. Neither teenagers nor other young adults I know wear this. Guess it doesn't work with their chemistry. I think it's beautiful on me. I'm having trouble describing what I smell, but it seems complex. Flowers and wood, fresh yet warm, citrus and powder, soap and musk. Some users mention coconut but I get none of that. Going to the beach is my favorite pastime, and DESEO brings out my... well... desire to be out there. Will repurchase despite low longevity.

This one to me reminds me of Cool Water, SJP Covet and Only the brave. I have a very specific taste of fragrances therefore I often mix a masculine citrus and woody man fragrance with a sweeter female one. Deseo does it all perfectly for me, it got both the female and masculine sides. It's like a splash of a fresh drink with green leaves in wearing it in the summer. In the winter it makes me think of frosted apples and icy winds. An all-year-er but might be easily tired of it. I've received lots of compliments from this one.

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!

This smells like heaven on my mother, bamboo and sandalwood dominate. Just gorgeous and so warm. On myself it makes my head whirl and I become intensely nauseated as if I had been on a sailboat. Damn you sinuses! 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.

Hello, why isn't coconut listed here?:) It's the most wonderful coconut scent I've ever smelled - soft, fresh, not overwhelming or sickening - like most delicate coconut milk drank on a sunny beach. While I benerally hate coconut notes in perfumes on my skin, in this one I adore this note. I can also smell soft, salty breeze from the sea, driftwood, very distant, almost vague floral notes - like the wind from a garden. Amazing scent for summer, I totally want it, depsite the coconut!:)

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.

I smell sand, soft grass, and sweet, slightly powdered, floral honey(the mimosa maybe?). Also, a touch of jasmine and coconut, and a hint of dried eucalyptus(like from a decorating store, not mentholated). Unique and lovely. The year it was released, my father bought me a large bottle for my birthday and I remember I had the most wonderful day, just walking around and smelling it. Over the next year I used up the entire 3.4 oz bottle.

Very interesting 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, this scent delivers those but only if I give it time to develop then I can detect variation of notes. The other nice thing about it is the bottle, but I wish it was done in a more sparkling, brighter yellow. However, in my opinion, her best fragrance of all is "Still".

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 :)

To the guys out there: I loved this one so much that I bought a bottle... for myself! A man can definitely get away with wearing this, and it smells great! It's a little feminine, but only just. It's mostly leafy, green, and airy. I'd put it in the same category as Comme des Garcons Amazing Green, Commodity Book, Nest Verde, and other airy, "green", unisex scents. Give it a try if you have a chance!

This is a summer fragrance to me. Very fresh and floral. There is a slightly minty smell to this although I am not sure why as none listed. It has a fruity opening but not sweet fruit, followed by a tropical flowers in the rainforest smell finally drying down to a musk, cedar and oakmoss but still retaining some florals. It remains very fresh and clean. longevity is excellent 10 hours plus

deseo from jlo is one of my favorites, tropical scent think it smells like coccos but right not it, wonder what it is that makes it smell coccos? Think it can be used as a day fragrance and that evening! but it smells summer! Like this fragrance, had a sample, so when it ended I just had to have that perfume! Otherwise I'm no fan of jlo perfumes! but this is a favorite!

Oh Deseo, how I LOVE and ADORE you! I can't get over how much I LOVE it! I think it's perfect for any weather really. It was freezing today and it felt perfect on. It's fresh enough for the scorching heat and creamy enough for the chilly cold. I absolultely love it and NEED another bottle. I wish more people liked it! It's been LONG gone. : (

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.

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.

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...

This truly smells like a garden in Rome,quiet and still after a rainfall in the evening.not got got a clue about notes yet as I am still learning but this to me is sophisticated, unusual,possibly unisex and certainly not your average celebrity scent.I love it!

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!

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

I don't really find it that citrusy more of a soft fragrance. The dry down goes slightly powdery but not in an offensive way. In fact I don't like powdery scents as a rule but this one captures my heart.

I agree with everything Lakambini has said. This is very beachy, and has a strong coconut smell. I've been searching for something like this for a long time because I love the smell of sun-tan lotion.

I like this, tropical,watery and slightly woody-it makes me think of warm evenings walking through flower gardens when you're on holiday. Which is good, because that is exactly what I bought it for !

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

Managed to find a new one on ebay and I'm obsessed! It's a very bright wood and citrus scent! To me it also has a hint of something that reminds me of being by the ocean and I love it <3

One of the most unique and seductive spring/summer perfumes I have ever owned. I kept the empty bottle because it is a piece of art. So sad it's discontinued.

This perfume was very coco-nutty on my skin, even though there is no coconut note in it. But I loved it!!!

I just love this fragrance ! it completes the skin with sweet, spicy smells.Stays long time

Reminds me of Womanity but wearable with hints of sweetness and floral I like it
