Forever Glowing

I have had a very annoying experience with this. I tested it on my skin in the store and loved it. I tested it on paper loved it. I tested on several days loved it. I got a bottle. Sprayed it at home and it vanished within minutes. If I smell my wrist I can smell it but it has no projection what so ever my husband cannot smell it at all even when he is close to me. I drowned myself in it another day we were going to go shopping so I put it on I thought maybe I need to be walking around a little bit to get my circulation going and then I might smell it waft up but no. My husband tried to smell it but it was not there. Very upsetting as I really like this perfume I was waiting for her to go in a different direction to the usual tropical perfumes she loves. I have had to spray this over the other glowing which lasts and lasts on me and settles to a grown up woodsy vanilla. If I spray this over that it lasts but that is just strange I have not had that problem with a Jennifer lopez perfume before. It isn't a fake because I got it from the pharmacy who only get it from the perfume reps so I must not have the skin chemistry for it. It smells like a less sweet style of perfume like Midnight Heat from Beyoncé I sprayed the two on paper and they are similar but Beyoncé's is sweeter with a little plum which this doesn't have. I reckon you could wear Beyoncé's with this. As someone else mentioned Miami Glow mixed with Deseo but not really strong it is so well blended it is a combination I think of some of the glow range perfumes. You can mix these perfumes together I find and they compliment each other I even used the new eau de glow just a light mist of it over glowing and glowing forever and it freshened it a little but that's just me not sure if others would like that. Don't forget her my glow I think that could be used with these as well.

This is a wonderful scent to me. It can transform me, or I it? In spring, it's as beautiful as the photo of saffron. It's light with huge and very distinct presence. It's the opposite of 70's sex kitten Brigitte Bardot. It's more 30's Greta Garbo. It's lighthearted, but never laughing. It's clean, but never sterile. More of a freshly scrubbed kitchen with a window open versus a hospital chemical clean. In winter, this scents becomes me. It's pale with huge presence. It's the gray, of a dark winter day. It's lonesome. It's vast and desolate, but very comforting and thought provoking. I can't explain how notes play a part in fragrance. I can only get lost in my own mind. Perfume is a feeling, thought, or memory to me. If you can express how notes mingle and become a whole, then I admire you. I can only express what this scent is to me...how I perceive it. It has a similarity to lavender, but smells NOT like lavender. I love this saffron much more. I smell nothing like suede or vanilla, for which I am glad. I find VERY appealing... the color of the liquid through the frosted glass. I smile as it lights up, and wait for it to go off before I mist again, just to see it. Childish...but it just tickles me! I feel like a little girl playing dress-up in her mother's high heels. This isn't a safe blind buy at ALL. For me, it's fairy tale magic....and at times, a funeral. I say...get lost in your own head with this one! I LOVE this so very much!

UPDATE: I was at Kohl's tonight and ended up buying this, I DO LOVE IT! They had the box set So I broke down and bought it. I really love this as LOVE&LIGHT is now discontinued,ofcorse this is not the same,but it is a good sub for it. I must really love Patchouli beacuse I have ALL of Jennifer's Fragrances and love all of them, but my 3 TOP favorits are Deseo,Love&Light and Forever Glowing. All 3 have a nice Patchouli base. I'm sad the last 2 are only flankers so they won't be out for long and I have not seen Deseo in stores in over a year now. For me, her past 2 spin-off's/flankers are better that the origonal. This one is AMAZING! YOU MUST TRY IT! :) I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT JLO COMES UP WITH NEXT! SHE ALWAYS KEEPS IT EXCITING,NEW AND FRESH WITH HER FRAGRANCES. I THINK SHE HAS MORE PERFUMES TO HER NAME THAN ANYONE, THIS IS # 20,CORRECT? KEEP EM' COMMING JLO AND I WILL BUY THEM!THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! XOXOX

In my opinion Forever Glowing is worlds better than the original Glowing. FG is leathery warmth with a touch of subtle caramel sweetness (the toffee). The floral notes are light and decidedly in the background, anchored by smooth suede. I really really like this. It's not to sweet that it reaches gourmand status, and since the patchouli is very light, indeed almost undetectable, it's not quite your typical chypre either. I can kind of see where comparisons between FG and Love and Light might come from, but I really don't think they are all that similar. The patchouli is a lot stronger in L&L and it isn't as warm overall. Still, there is some distant relation. Forever Glowing will definitely be added to my collection. It is a wonderful fragrance for cooler temps. Thumbs up!

The first few days I wore this I got mostly saffron, vanilla, and magnolia. When I tried it a couple days later the leather seemed much more noticeable. I'm excited this leather actually works on my skin since some leather perfumes get way too pungent on me. I'm also noticing an amber note now that I've worn it for a week. 2746cstreet identified that the scent of incense is in here too and I agree. Love this!

If Euphoria did a flanker that was younger, hipster and a lot more layed back... it would smell like Forever Glowing . Very pretty. Love the glowing bottle. I find this similar to Euphoria but it's sweeter and breezier. It's like the cool little sister of Euphoria .

One of the best Jlo perfumes! It's sweet but like woody sweet. Notes are also different category (than mostly Jennifer fragrances) If we gonna look at Glow,Deseo,Promise etc Glowing Forever is experiment. Beautiful experiment. Love!

This is AMAZING! If you like Jennifer Lopez's 'Deseo' and/or 'Love & Light' you will LOVE 'Forever Glowing! They smell similar but they are defiantly there own thing! <3<3XOXO

I tested this and almost bought it tonight, It is AMAZING! I LOVE IT! but they only have it in a 1.7 oz, will it come in a larger bottle? I AM not going to pay 50$ for 1.7 oz!

I didn't expect to love this perfume (the notes looked a bit strange to me) but I do! The saffron makes it is soft and cuddly.

Another blind buy from Marshall's review here. I had tested Glowing when it first came out and I remember liking it quite a bit. From memory, it was soft and leathery and different than what she usually did. With JLo, I never find her offerings very interesting or complex, but they're never bad either. You can pretty much blind buy anything from her line and walk away satisfied but never impressed. The original glowing was unique and pretty enough for me to think about it over the years and wonder how it was doing. Or maybe Im just a sucker for a gimmicky light up bottle. So when I found Forever Glowing in Marshalls on a bargain hunt I knew it would be at least wearable if nothing special. I can say this one is probably going to be one I grab for on lazy days or maybe just running errands. Something about this just really makes me happy. I doubt this will ever be a compliment getter, and it sits pretty close to my skin and lasts about 4 hours. This is like your favorite pair of sweat pants- you love wearing them but no one else gets why you like them so much. It opens in the same soft, powdery suede that I remember from the first. I get a bit of the honey and some of the white flowers too. The combination is so nicely blended and plays well with each other. The patchouli and iris in this are so delicate and not overbearing or harsh as those notes can sometimes be. It's like if you took each note individually and washed them and hung them up in the sun to dry, you were left with softer, fresher and sunnier versions of themselves. I just find this so feminine and almost romantic in a way, but I doubt this is something that men would find particularly alluring.If you don't like powdery scents you'll want to skip this one, but for me it's an ultra feminine, soft cuddly sweater. It's the girl next door, it's the shy violet who seems so innocent yet so mysterious at the same time. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for a gimmicky light up bottle.

A very pleasant oriental with a gourmand twist. I struggle to identify saffran here, the main tune is toffee (or caramel or whatever) plus pepper plus soft leather. There are no major fruity notes which is a good thing in my book. The opening is the only bit where you could imagine the fragrance contains some kind of jam but as it develops it stays away from fruity territory. With the longevity not being that great, I have decided for a generous application. You wouldn't want to press your nose down on the skin during the opening bit.... but the drydown is lovely and would not shy away from close combat. In order to boost the oomph and compensate for the missing saffron note (in my opinion) I have layered Forever Glowing with some Al Rehab Dehn al Oud. The result was a warm honey/ animalic oudfest... Forever Glowing has now got the edge that I was hoping for. If anyone knows of an Al rehab that has mainly oud and saffron please let me know I 'd love to try it and layer with Forever Glowing :-) Ah, by the way: for bottle fetishists, it's worth knowing that the 30ml bottle does NOT have the special effect, so if you want your bottle to light up when pressing the sprayer you need to order the 50ml size.

Ugg Boots and Caramel Lattes For the love of perfume please lets not call a perfume like this a 'chypre floral,' and please don't pretend that this perfume is actually going to smell like saffron over suede. It's a Floral Gourmand. Forever Glowing is actually a lot of fun and I enjoy wearing this a lot. I love the color of the perfume, and a 50 ml bottle will only put you out $15. So--it smells like honeyed sweet white shampoo flowers, a hint of toffee, a slight amount of earthy, grounding patchouli and yes, suede, but bleached to the bone faux-suede, not new suede jacket suede. It fades off into a vanillic caramel with the barest suggestion of spice. This is like easy, lazy Saturday morning perfume, these gals that I see at the grocery store on Saturday that have blonde hair and dark roots, last nights hair style pushed into a tight pony tail, powdered but otherwise plain faces, black stretch pants tucked into Ugg boots, and a caramel latte in hand. It's that toffee-faux suede-caramel-shampoo floral thing that just reminds me of this picture. Strength/sillage is okay but the lasting power is abysmal, you can apply like a body spray but you won't smell anything after 2 or 3 hours.

I agree with Gregor's enthusiastic review of Jennifer Lopez Forever Glowing. It is really a great fragrance, and I'm glad to read that you, too, are charmed by the little fairy light of a bottle it comes in. I do normally enjoy reading the reviewer below who compared this to Angel for women. What?! You lost me on that one. But I know it was a compliment to Forever Glowing. Ah, perhaps there is a little bit of Angel in everything. Fragrances are mysteries and different for everyone. Now I will go out on a limb and say that if this smells similar to anything it's Serge Lutens Daim Blonde, the elusive white suede fragrance by the olfactory genius Christopher Sheldrake! Not exactly the same, but the leather comes through in a similar sweet-soft way, like a white lambskin jacket left on a velvet sofa by a beautiful girl... I bought several bottles of this. I don't think I can part with them. I have a feeling all members of the light-up bottle series by JLo (Forever Glowing, Glowing, and Glowing Goddess) are all going the way of extinction. One by one they seem to be discontinued. Such a shame. I wish they'd hurry up and release JLuxe already!

If Queen (Latifah's) and Wish had a baby, and swaddled that baby in a powdery saffron blankie, then you smelled that baby's head....Forever Glowing. It's a comforting blend of sugar and spice. I disagree with claims that this is weak; mine always lasts at least a solid 4-5 hours on me, before fading, on my scarf it lasted all day. Sweet, soft spicy, warm, and just nice to wear. The juice and bottle are as pretty as the scent- a frosty Roman pillar of lavender liquid that glows when you spray it, and I'm not ashamed to say it makes me happy when my whole dresser is glowing with purple light:) A nice, comforting, yummy one from JLo.

FOREVER GLOWING, to me, reminds me of fresh air and the scent of a fresh vacuumed carpet, with floral (saffron) carpet deodorizer. The leather note reminds me of the vacuum as a whole. It's THAT unorthodox combination of fragrance that's in this cute, light up bottle. Now, this isn't a bad thing. I do love vacuuming my carpets just for that specific, unique smell. It's definitely a clean, cozy, homebody scent. Lasting power isn't shabby either. I'm going on 5 hours. I'll be adding this to my collection.

This is my second day wearing this, and I really like it. I also have Glowing, but I think I prefer Forever Glowing. I found FG for only eight bucks at Marshalls, but it's only a one ounce size. It doesn't light up, and my large size original Glowing does. I wish I had them in the reverse sizes, because I see myself wearing FG way more often. I'll have to break out my original Glowing and do a side by side comparison. Also, longevity seems pretty decent on FG, which is a huge plus for me.

This is a great option for a sweeter leather perfume. I smell incense, though it is not listed. It's probably the combination of saffron & leather (which can be tarry/smoky). I was expecting something sweet and powdery, but instead I find Forever Glowing to be in the Oriental category. Also quite a bit of pepper in here giving it a spicy kick.

I tend to prefer the original Glowing over this. I received a second hand bottle of this one so it doesn't glow unfortunately and isn't in the best condition so I would love to get a new bottle but wow these Glowing perfumes are hard to find. This one is more of a chyrpe floral. It is woodsy and reminds me a bit of Iceberg as well.
