Eau de Glow

I tested this today and I have to be honest it does smell a little different to the old one and believe me I am very accustomed to the smell as my Mother in Law drowns herself in it and I used to wear it a lot when it first came out. This new one dries fresher it doesn't have such a strong musk to it so if the musk put you off the previous one then try this. The perfume itself is an oily sort of substance and has a shimmer in it with sparkles. Not large chunks of sparkle glitter but a slight shimmer. It is very oily when first sprayed so I imagine it stays on longer and stronger if thats possible, than the first Glow. The whole package looks nicer and more current. I like this because the musk was too acidic for me in the first version so now I can wear this and not worry about it. My Mother in Law likes the first one more but she likes Estee by Estee Lauder so that is her type of taste. I prefer the fresher version personally. Having said this is different than the first one you would be hard pressed to notice the difference if you are not used to smelling the perfume. On first sniff they do smell the same but as I said I have been around this one since it first launched and it is different but only a suttle difference. The liquid is obviously completely different but the smell is similar.

I own both this and the original Glow and have worn one on either hand all day to compare, and to me they are significantly different. I definitely prefer eau de Glow because this one doesn't have the harsh opening or the strong musk of the original. The rest of the notes are similar enough that I agree they smell like the "same" fragrance, just in different forms- Glow is like if you shoved your nose in bar of scented soap and eau de Glow is much more like breathing in the scent of freshly applied lotion: still clean and still reminiscent of the same florals, but lighter and creamier- less in your face. Like the original, this lasts all day on me and it definitely gets nicer as the time goes on. I am someone who never gets compliments on perfumes (and I don't think of compliments as the end goal), but I have been told I smelled good while wearing this several times now. It's so lotion-y that it just makes you smell.... moisturized. Like you're taking care of yourself.

I got a bottle of this because I like the original glow but found the musk intensifies on me too much. When I tested this when it first came out it was an oily substance with a little bit of a shimmer in it. The bottle I got now is not oily and it does not have shimmer in it? Not sure what is going on there. This smells really nice and it lasts just as well as the previous one. I still find there to be a difference between the two on me personally. This is a simple scent no vanilla or cupcakes here and no citrus blast just as others have said it is a shower fresh smell a bit like the dove deoderants but not soapy. I didn't get any powder at any stage but it is sweeter to me there is a touch of floral sweetness in this one compared to the previous one which was a sticky strong harsh musk. This one smells more feminine and a little flowery not so harsh. Some reviewers will say it is no different to the previous one but I really do disagree in this instance.

I prefer this version to the original Glow, for all the same reasons people have listed below (less sharp, less in your face in the beginning). If you wonder what Eau de Glow smells like, to me this is exactly like Nivea cream. Very “clean” and soft. It’s a perfect after shower or bedtime scent.

Eau de Glow is definately a bit different then the original Glow. The scent is much less musky and really a lighter version of Glow, it's more fresh. I really love the original Glow, but I think it can be a bit too much sometimes because of the musk. Eau de Glow is really easier to wear.

Oh,love! Smells like the original Glow by J.Lo and I love it. Smell is kinda strong on my skin,but not too strong for me. And I love the soapy and powdery feel it. I think it's very unique, I've never smelled another like Glow/Eau de Glow. This is one of a kind fragrance to me.

I wonder if this will be as musky as the first one? I liked the first one but it would always dry to a strong musk which I was not too keen with. Reading the description it sounds like it is supposed to be a little lighter? Has anyone tested it and can tell the difference?

I just looooooooooooooove this version! It's almost similar to the original one, but it's still has it's own unique "touch" if you know what I mean! It's VERY long-lasting and the price is so good!

This one smells much better on me than the original Glow. They do smell almost exactly the same except eau de Glow is not as pungent to me as Glow.

Smells exactly the same as Glow.

the extremely heavy musk notes Glow contains are very hard for me to wear; it would give me headaches almost every time I wore it and I would even get sore and itchy skin where I sprayed it, so it'll come as no surprise that I much prefer Eau De Glow over the original Glow. To my nose this updated version smells almost exactly the same to the original, except that the musk is much lighter and there is some iris mixed in with the florals in this edition. Because the musk is a lot softer and doesn't shut my nose down I notice more of the other scent notes, so even though in one sense it's the same fragrance, in the other it's different. I detect the short burst of lemon in the opening, and there is some orange alongside the orange blossom in the heart of the fragrance, which I didn't notice in the original Glow. The other main difference in Eau De Glow is that the mix of soapy florals and grapefruit develop more without the musk to overpower them and, with the introduction of the iris to strengthen it, I notice the powdery element to the florals more as the fragrance begins to dry down into the base. Glow's sexy/fresh/clean tagline matches this fragrance much more then mentions of spring flowers; the combination of zesty fruits, soapy florals that turn powdery, and the teensiest trace of vanilla mingled in with the woodsy notes takes us from freshly energised, to something more intimate. The longevity for Eau De Glow is excellent for a low-cost mass market release; it beats out similarly priced edp concentrations at over 7 hours before needing a topup.

I was late on the bandwagon for the original Glow. I thought it was way too strong and pungent for a few years. Fast forward from my early 20s to my late 20s...and I decided to give Glow another go and I actually like it now. This one is 99% identical but I actually like this one more. Why? For one simple reason. The original Glow is beautiful and soapy, but the opening is INSANELY sharp. While this one doesn’t perform quite as long or strong...it’s basically the original without the sharpness and just a TAD bit of creaminess that the original doesn’t have. I love this. I’ll be reaching for this one more often than the original. Longevity - 3-4 hours but I don’t mind a touch up mid day to get me through till the end of the day. Projection - 2 feet. Still very noticeable without the potential to choke someone out like the original. It’s much...”friendlier” shall I say. Overall Score - 8.5/10. I wish I had found this sooner. For any of you who like the idea of the original Glow but would like something a tad more polite and less strong...this one is your match! Trust me! Big thumbs up. I voted above with a “like,” but it’s most definitely a strong like bordering on love.

I bought this awhile ago, when in my teens. It immediately went into my ‘do not use’ pile because it smelled way too mature for me. I recently discovered this again, I’m now in my early 30s. I’m happy to say that I finally appreciate this fragrance! It’s definitely not something I would expect most teens or early 20s girls to like, but it’s not ‘old.’ This has a light flowery/powdery set. Very clean smelling. The best part of this is the longevity though, for an EDT it has one of the best performances I’ve seen. At the end of my work day (which is pretty physical) I can still smell it. For the price, this is a great purchase. It’s not something mind blowing, but it’s very pretty and is perfect for the casual perfume wearer.

Bought it yesterday and all I can say, is that it's a fresh and light version of the original Glow. The original starts very powdery and after the drydown becomes a juicy neroli scent with roses, sandalwood and jasmine (more evident in hotter days). Eau de Glow starts a little less powdery and becomes a little less juicy than the original (and doesn't change that much since the beginning), and more soapy. I think this one is more floral, and the other is more fruity-floral, though the notes are the same. I can say that this one is a reinterpretation of the original glow notes in other tones. Staying power and projection are good, but not as good as the original, since it's cheaper.

I blind bought Eau de Glow as I read the reviews here saying that it was a lighter less muskier interpretation of the original Glow. Unfortunately for me, lighter also means short-lasting and with a lower projection. It disappears three hours after spraying on skin. It's also missing some flowers - to my nose anyhow - which makes it less pretty. I now understand why it's cheaper than Glow - you literally have to douse yourself in it in order to make it through half a day. I will not be repurchasing this one and I'll be sticking to the original Glow - that one is sharper in the beginning, but it settles down after half an hour and becomes a pretty long-lasting clean scent.

Thankfully I found this at a little perfume shop and the box was opened so I could test it. Given that I am an impulse buyer and I have a soft spot for blind buys, I would have bought this one. The reviews said it was a softer version of Glow, however, this is Glow rebottled and watered down. It simply lasts 1h instead of 4-5h as Glow. Never have I ever smelled an identical flanker of something. Literally the same thing.

The original Glow is my signature scent, so my nose is keen to this range. They smell identical to me, except Eau de Glow is missing that powdery punch in the top note, and maybe a rose or two. It really IS a "water of Glow." Same long-lasting sillage and soapy cleanness, but I much prefer the original.

Oh I ́m so looking forward to this :) I have used a lot of the original Glow during the years, and tried almost all of her perfumes, as soon as I can. Allthough the bottle looks like the original, withouth the jewelery piece.

The smell it's not the same as the original Glow. This version is more fresh, light and floral. The lasting power is great as the other one, 8 hours easily. For who doesn't like the original one, should give this one a try.

@Britney_Spears. My Glow and Glowing are not flakers of glow, they are new lines of fragrances by JLo. I Think eau de Glow is just a light and cheaper version of the original Glow.

This is like a lighter, less creamy version of the original. Nice morning scent. Nivea cream smells like mint. 8/10

A disappointment. I really wanted a clean fresh jasmine, a little powdery at the same time.. All i have gotten is faint heavily powdered jasmine with whifffs of neroli. I do understand tht iris is meant to be powderbomb, however its too much; so much so that i coughed each time i sniff at it. I keep smelling it every 5 minutes in hopes that it will get better. It does become sharper with slight rosy twist but no vanilla. Little sillage and 1 hour of longevity. Gonna finish my bottle and never think that i once had this.. sigh

Another dislike for me. Its kind of a generic, nothing special about it fragrance. I can't say it's bad as such, it just doesn't stand out for me. Will be nice as a car freshner though.

Ok. I know this is going to sound strange but I cannot even deal with the smell of musk of any kind. It is the grossest smell ever to me personally. So many great scents are ruined for me bc they must eventually turn to musk. It seems unnatural to me. Just in general, so many beautiful floral and even fruity scents seem to all end with musk. And since MUSK is the end note typically, that is what you have to smell all day after the good part wears off. With all that being said, I have been on a couple year mission buying every well rated low, mid and top shelf frags that review as smelling "soapy." That clean fresh smell just works for me. Naturally, the JLO Glow was one of the last on my extensive list to buy. When i got it in the mail it was heaven on earth aside from the overwhelming MUSK. Gross. I am getting used to musk bc there is no option aside from going without perfume all together, but the musk ruins it for me. This one is Glow minus the yuck musk. I LOVE it. She answered my prayers releasing this version without the man aftershave musk. SO HAPPY. Am stocking up on this for sure.

I had (have!) both eau de Glow and Glow and didn't realize they were NOT the same! Glow is heavier and more musky and eau is lighter and softer but they are both the same strenghth wise - I guess I mean both assert themselves equally well when worn - to the same degree. They just project themselves to the outside with the same boldness. I love them both. If I want more floral, love the rosiness of eau de glow then I wear this, and since it is late spring and warm it is just perfect for a day like this. At first I thougt maybe eau de Glow is too girly for me but I'm over that now, you should wear what you feel inside, and I feel like floral spring and eau de Glow is how I feel right now, light floral spring but not a shy, laid back type but bold "Hello, I'm here!" spring!"

I really, really wanted to like this. The original smells so nice on paper but amplifies the clean on my skin to industrial strength level. Recently found this for 12.99 @ TJ Maxx and blind bought it for kicks. The first spray's very similar to Sebastian Shaper hairspray. Then fairly quickly begins to smell clean and light and that's a good thing. Unfortunately after an hour or two, my chemistry and this musk got into a minor disagreement and have since agreed to part ways.

So much nicer than the original Glow. Everybody seemed to love it in the early 2000s, except me( even the little old grandma I worked with). But Glow always had a synthetic musky undertone that I couldn't go for. Almost like a cleaning product. This one is prettier fresher and not synthetic. Glad this is cheap and if you wanted to like Glow but it was too heavy for you, give this a try. Sillage is light to moderate but that's my kind of scent anyway.

This one is actually better than the original. Maybe because it doesn't have orris root like the OG. They are both good , I remember loving this soapy after shower vibe right away when it first came out . Love how innocently sensual . Anyhow, this one is just very similar but somehow better , cleaner if that's possible ,lasts the same . Paradox virtual flower has that super clean neroli scent going on , and it reminds me of this scent profile . 🫧

The opening was terrible — literally a window-cleaning product. The drydown is okay, nothing spectacular. It’s lighter than the original Glow, but both of them have that very drugstore-style alcoholic opening where you really need to wait for something better to get out of it. In the end, I think the OG Glow has much more of that Y2K aura. This one feels a little more undefined in comparison, but it’s alright. It's a "perfume".

It's important to read the original Glow reviews as it's the must intro to the whole Glow concept. EdG is not the same as G, they are close but not the same. Vanilla and amber are more active participants in the G formula. Let's say, Glow is a freshly showered person in a sexy tight white Tshirt going on a date or to a party, and EdG is a freshly showered person in a nice white Tshirt going out to lunch or running errands.

This is the EXACT same perfume as the original. EXACT! I've done a side by side review and I cannot detect even the slightest nuance of difference between this and the original from start to finish... I think Jlo has us fooled! :)

Both glow and eau de glow is really nice, comfy fragrances. But i like this one better, more fresh and light (feels lighter than glow but not weaker). Obviously the muskiness is gone, and seems to be more lasting... LIKE :)

My Beautiful timeless clean soapy and fresh signature scent ♥ lasts for hours on my skin and I smell so fresh and clean like I just stepped out of the shower ♥ its litterly one of my favorites :-)

simplesmente sabão precisa ser bem jovial, pois para aguentar o forte cheiro, precisa de muita energia. depois acalma...bem depois...Jesus Cristo, não gostei nada disso.

@takeasniff the previous one you comment (with the shimmer) is a limited edition of Glow. Glow Shimmer. Eau de Glow is a different one :)

It is a spot on beach scent!!! Very nice summery windy warm day on the beach smell; without the cheap suntan lotion note!

I cant smell any difference between Glow and Eau de Glow. The only difference is that the new frag bottle lost its jewel.

Gave this away after a blind buy. I used to only wear it to the gym because it smells only of soap and powder.

This is a classic that I hope is never out of production.

You can buy this still at fragrancenet.com or ebay

Does anyone smell liliac ? like I do ?
