Glowing

This is Jennifer's most sophisticated and mature scent, In my honest opinion. I smelled it at Kohls and I would've purchased it yesterday when I smelled it, but they only had the 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz bottles, and I wanted to buy the big bottle of it. I'm trying NOT to buy big bottles of things these days since I don't ever use em up. Thank goodness TODAY (3/25/12)I was able to find the big 2.7 oz bottle and lotion at another Kohls and scooped it up : ). So, moving on, this scent, IMO, is the Great-Granddaughter of WHITE DIAMONDS by Elizabeth Taylor and the half-Sister of Coco Chanel Mademoiselle. Two VERY different fragrances. I say White Diamonds in because of the strength and the maturity of the fragrance. It starts off smelling very.....older and very citrusy. Here is where Chanel Coco Mademoiselle comes in. The bergamot plays a game of Peek-A-Boo with you and there's a hint of powdery musk that fades in the background. This isn't a fragrance that I believe teens will love. (However, I am sure they will be intrigued by the bottle "Glowing") If I had to choose which scent out of Jennifer's this is closest to, and I can do that since I've smelled them all except Deseo Forever and Eau De Glow, I would say this smells like Love and Light but they've replaced the berries and fruits with bergamot and other citrus fruits and they've upped the ante. This one is a lot stronger and wayyyyy more mature. UPDATE: 4/26/12 (The Body Lotion) The body lotion doesn't really smell anything like the scent. It is soooooooooooooooooo masculine, and the scent is kinda masculine, and smells like a man's aftershave. I really like it, though. Not thick but goes into the skin quickly. YESS! Jennifer Lopez is BACK!

I love love LOVE this fragrance! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND?!!? I hate when that happens. :( It's so ironic because my first buy which was only in the last year or so...I wasn't even looking for this fragrance, I just stumbled across it accidentally...and now that my bottle is over half gone and I'm HUNTING it down like a fox...I cannot find it anywhere except ebay. And that's always a pain because it takes almost a week just for money to transfer to the paypal account. And even more ironic...JLO's "Forever Glowing" doesn't smell NEARLYYY as good or well-made as this one and it's INCREDIBLY easy to find...and cheap. Shame. Anyway...this fragrance is basically the amped up, exciting version of Glow. If anybody else thinks Glow smells alright, but is a total snooze-fest...try this one! Still has that soapy aspect to it, but it's fruity, somewhat woody, almost kind of tangy...version of Glow. It smells absolutely amazing and SOOOO distinct! There's NOTHING else out there that smells like this so I give major props to JLO and the perfumer(s) involved in making this one! Longevity - 5 hours Projection - I get HUGE projection with this one. 6 feet or so. Overall Rating - 9/10. Possibly 9.5. SUCH clean, beautiful smell. Two thumbs up JLO!

Being inclined to white floral accords, and as a first-time tester of a woody scent, this smelled really weird to me on paper and I didn't even prioritize testing this on skin until after almost a year. However, with Glow being my all-time fave, plus Sunkissed Glow on my want list for a few years before I got it just a few months ago, and with My Glow being a successful blind buy and Love & Glamour being a just okay blind buy, I thought, why not give this stinker a try since all the other J Lo's I've tried so far seem to agree with my body chem? (The discounts I got them at agree with my pocketbook too. :) ) After having this sprayed on my forearm, there was that strong weird smell again. The perfume left a shiny patch of oil on my skin where it was sprayed, so I predicted this was gonna be long-lasting. In fact, it outlasted 4 other scents I had tested at the same time. What's strange is, while I was "re-smelling" the scents on my arm, I felt drawn to this weird woody scent and kept sniffing. If this is what a woody scent like cypress smells like, then Glowing has definitely made a proper introduction; and I'd be encouraged to try more woody scents in future. And I would get Glowing too at a discount. ;)

Glowing by Jennifer Lopez is not a Glow flanker. It is a different fragrance entirely. So it shouldn't smell like Glow. I think things went a little haywire in previous reviews regarding this fragrance. It is a very lovely creation, as are several of J Lo's fragrances I have tried. Bergamot, mandarin, and orange blossom give this fragrance a citrus/floral center. That is intensified by sandalwood. Vetiver brings an herbal element. Amber simmers underneath creating a lovely, warm, golden aura. While it is not a listed note, the whole effect of these combined elements gives Glowing a delicate edible quality, like honeyed beeswax. The bottle looks like a Roman pillar. The bottle lights up, which makes this unique. I could do with or without the lighting. I own this and Forever Glowing. Golden Goddess is too hard to get these days, as it seems to be out of production. I rate Glowing very highly. It is feminine, a little powdery, but mostly fruits and woods. And I have to agree with a previous review that it has an autumn feel to it. I own two bottles just so I don't run out. It is nothing at all like Glow. I hope they don't discontinue this one.

This a great copy of those heavier 90's, to be precise late 8o's and early 90's Samsara's and Dunes and Tresor's. All copies themselves of Fantasme. etc.. I need to vary my fragrance wardrobe. I like value for money. Sure the bottle is gimmicky. I wish I hadn't removed the battery strip. As I am pedantic on how I store and keep my Fragrances. Bit wary of the light's effect on the shelf life of the product. Mind you archaeologist's ate 3 thousand year old cheese found in terracotta vases stored in caves in the desert. So Perfume ought to keep that long too. For when I want a bolder statement. This is perfect. Specially if it's layered with musk and bergamot. It's not that bad. For some reason I detach myself with associations of celebs and their representations of fragrances, as it's the noses that create them not the identity associated with it. The fragrance is marketed under the Celebrities name. Not a representation of how they themselves smell. You make a fragrance yours on how you choose to incorporate it into your couture. Glowing surprised me. I like it, and it's not easy for me to like these styles of fragrances. Cheers T.

The review below is my review: Glowing is a lovely clean, balmy powdery-woodsy scent that has quickly become my to-go scent over the past months. I love that it gives off that clean warm vibe without much sweetness; that makes it so versatile.bGlowing is to my nose fairly linear except that the powdery aspect recedes towards the dry down. I have to be very careful with cedar and sandalwood usually but here they are so well balanced with the other notes that I can really enjoy them. I have been wearing Glowing in the cooler months so far and have to see whether it changes in the approaching summer heat. I hope not. I really love this one and would like to be able to go for it whenever I want. Glowing is an absolute winner for me... Edit: It's a bit warmer now and Glowing is still glowing. It layers also exceptionally well with some of my other scents. Glowing is definitely the best buy I made this year - just awesome stuff! Love it...

Warm, dry, woodsy, fringed with violets. All day when I wear this, I feel like I am smelling a forest in dry summer/early autumn. It's really beautiful. I was intrigued at first spray. Cypress, (smoky, dry) amber, violet, vetiver turns into an earthy and woody soft musk. Just a little spice is mingling in with sweet violets. The combo of notes evokes the thought of autumn leaves. Warm, soft, calming and unique. The clean musk blends so beautifully with the woods and violet here to create a plush, soft quality. Longevity is 8++hrs on me, (12+hrs.on clothes) and sillage medium. I think this perfume is a calming, mellow, feminine woodsy-floral. VERY different from Forever Glowing and leagues away from her hyper tropical fruit club hits. This is a keeper for thoughtful moods or cool days. P.S.- to me, this has nothing in common with Glow.

This is certainly different than any of JLO's other perfumes. It has a really interesting clean/spicey scent to it. It is the perfect combination of the two. I have to admit when I first put it on I really did not care for it at all but then a few hours later it dried down to a really clean/spicey scent and it just sits there and lingers. There is also something sort of tropical about it too almost beachy. Maybe some woody note? The lasting power is impressive. It just gets better the longer it sits on your skin. I am glad JLO got out of her tropical fruity rut and went for something different. Nice! ***I just wanted to add that the lasting power of this perfume is fantastic! I got 12+ hours out of it. I am so buying some of this!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!! *****

I wasn't too sure what to think of Glowing on the tester strip, but on my skin it smells WONDERFUL. I kept getting whiffs of this lovely woodsy powdery smell throughout the day. As the day goes on, the smell kept getting better, the lasting power is pretty good. I think this is her best scent yet. I am a fan of her other perfumes, like Glow and Live etc. Glowing still has that JLo 'clean' smell that most of perfumes seem to have in the base, but not super clean like Glow, which is a slap in the face of soap. Overall, I am very impressed with this perfume and I shal be buying a large 75ml bottle when I run out of my 30ml. My advice try is to give it a proper chance by tesing on your skin. It smells different when on a tester strip.

Big time comfort bed scent for me. Discontinued! Ok. This is no longer around, but you can still find bottles if you creep around on eBay like I did. Snagged me one!!! I needed one more dance with Glowing. I remember walking around the mall in a daze wondering if I should buy this magical juice. (I did) I had never smelled a cypress note presented this way with the calm violets and musk. Like a quiet, misty, magical forest fairy dabbing me with her powder puff. Unsweetened, slightly powdery, woodsy, a bit dry. I missed this stuff like I’d lost an old friend! If you can find it, it’s wonderful. I’ll just put it here, if anyone finds something similar that’s not discontinued please update us?

I really, really like this one, it's lovely. It reminds me of clean skin, in the same family of Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, but more like a 2nd cousin once removed. It's soft, powdery, I detect incense especially if I apply a generous amount, and it's anything but overbearing. It's hard to overdo (not that I'm suggesting anyone drown themselves in it) but seems to last w/a hint of scent for hours. Overall I'd purchase it again. 4 out of 5 stars for me :). By the way, I wouldn't regard this as unisex or masculine, I find it very feminine just a touch soapy which a lot of people associate with unisex/guy fragrances.

I’m on a kick with J Lopez fragrances, lol, not sure why, but really most are not bad at all. This is a very pretty woodsy floral, so soft and delicate. I really like this a lot. I don’t smell the citrus but more cedar, African orange Flower and violet come out. It is a bit spicy which does settle to powdery. Still the floral shine on me. It does remind me of something, what I’m not sure yet, it will come to me. It is not earth shattering but pretty for daytime summer. Not your typical fruity scent, thank God. Longevity: floral on drydown still showing up after an hour. Sillage: just good

I bought this perfume based on reviews and I have been so pleasantly surprised by how much I like, on the verge of love, this! I think 'adore' is the right word for how I feel about it. It is nice and woody, warm, slightly sweet. I don't really get spice or violet from it. (I think my nose isn't very sensitive to violet) This is the one I find myself reaching for lately. I even bought an extra backup bottle, something I haven't done for years. It's certainly different from the regular range of sweet perfumes that are available everywhere. Big thumbs up from me!

well I have the wonderfull lady whi I swapped with to thank for this purchase,the dear of her sent me a sample,if I had gone along with the notes I wouldn't have bought but oh my gosh this is lovely,i mean,its fresh,its delicate and very very creamy,it all blends so softy from one note to another,there are no sharp edges,it feels warm,its spicy and powdery but thank heavens it doesn't affect my rhinutus,and it lasts for ever,i got the 30 ml bottle as I don't want to buy big bottles and don't like bottles that light up,very very happy

Wow, I love this! A dry, spicy violet/ cedar/sandalwood. The lime is barely detectable, but acts as a foil to keep the perfume from becoming to flat or dense; the same way you add a spritz of lemon to a meal to 'brighten' it up. Very heavy on the cedar/wood notes, so if that's not for you, be warned! Also, this bottle is much easier to use, IMHO. I can't stand the Glow/Heat/Rebelle bottom heavy bottles with the long necks. I always feel like they're going to slip out of my hand while spraying!

This specific Jennifer Lopez fragrance will definitely capture one's attention. The simplicity of the bottle is beautiful. What takes it to an entirely different level visually is the cascading glow (hince why the perfume is called Glowing) that illuminates the entire Glowing bottle once you press the perfume sprayer. The "juice" within the Glowing bottle is a very clean and light mixture. The perfume smells very feminine, alluring, enticing and just all around yummy. :-)

So happy I purchased a bottle of this when it first came out because sadly I see it has been discontinued. I adore the light up bottle! The juice is beautiful! Just as Jlo intended it’s a clean, soft, woodsy and sexy scent! Gorgeous for night time in my opinion and I feel could be worn anytime of the year. This scent is also comforting too as I love to wear this to bed. I will treasure my bottle until the very last drop <3

Where to begin I love love love this scent it's so fresh and clean its amazing right after a shower makes u feel even more clean than u already are! This is a very heavy scent so u don't need more than 2 sprays at the most I can put this on whn I go to work at 8am and smell it 12 hours later so this scent has amazing lasting power I love it:) it's also a very woodsy scent 9/10

This is beautiful! To me it smells like an exact mix of estee lauders sensuous and cashmere mist. This is clean...but a very warm clean. I would say its a fall scent...and its very long lasting and sexy. My husband actually loves it! Definitely will be getting a bottle when I can...but just a small on since it lasts so long!

Tiger lily, orange blossom, amber, and clean, clean mossy musk.For me, a like that blossomed into love. It is wonderfully earthy. I love how it never gets close to being too sweet. And I get a trace of Queen Helen Cocoa Butter, another pretty scent. Sensuous Nude is much much sweeter to my nose.

Tovah..Im sooo glad you compared this to sensuous and cashmere mist as I did!!! It smells more and more like CM as it dries down to me though. I get absolutely NO BS curious (which I have and like too)..but thats cool that you did! I just cant wait to get this gorgeous scent!

I just wanted to add...jlo is definitely back in the perfume game after this! I'm so glad she put some time into this one and made an amazing and quality scent (the bottle does not do the scent justice! ) this is a WOMAN'S perfume. And makes me feel so sexy...

I'm loving this perfume a lot since getting it last year! I outright smell the violet mixed beautifully with hints of musk & cypress..just a very nice warm spicy floral!! Sillage is moderate on me but the longevity is easily 6plus hours on me!!!!<3

Jlo needs to bring this back, I really loved this fragrance and the bottle! It smelt so clean and fresh kinda like glow but more woodsy I hope her new company produces this. Gosh it was great

I really like wearing this for work. It's soft, woody and very powdery. Even though it's a light scent it has amazing lasting power. It's not a flashy scent, more like a quiet achiever.

I love everything about this fragrance. The bottle, the spicy floral scent... Amazing! It's by far her most sophisticated scent. This, deseo and live are my faves!

JLo did a great job with this perfume because it does not smell cheap at all! I was really surprised with this scent and I am gonna buy one very soon!

It's nice, to me it smells mostly of musk and violet. I liked it but got bored of it quite quickly, so I sold it.

Great fragrance Shame it was retired

I guess I'm in the minority, but I love how the bottle lights up. To me, it smells like a less spicy, less intense version of Adam Levine for women. For me, it's slightly more wearable than Adam Levine, probably because on me, I keep getting hung up on how spicy Adam Levine is(although I still wear it, and do think it's underrated and gorgeous). I read lots of reviews that think it's a cashmere, and amber type scent, but for me, I didn't find that to be especially true. I'm sure those notes are there in the background, but on me, they stay in the background, and it's really the spice that takes front stage. I'd actually prefer more amber or cashmere to be present, and the spice to be in the background more. I'm liking this enough that I'm looking forward to trying Forever glowing. Also, I think Glowing might seem like more of a winter scent, and I don't usually classify perfumes that way. I guess it sort of reminds me of a spicy Christmas cookie, or fall hay ride.

Went to Kohls today for a mattress topper for my bed, and saw huge displays of Glowing, could not resist trying to spritzed a little on my arm and then continued on to the housewares area, kept getting whiffs of this wonderful scent, occurred to me it was coming from me! I went back to the perfume to spritz more before leaving the store..lol. When I got home I told my hubby and had him smell, he didn't give much reaction at first, then he went out in garage. Like 10 minutes later he comes in the house and is like "what perfume is that again?" and wanted to smell it again. He said "wow, you need to get that" Then I was like wow! If you only knew how many different perfumes I had him smell over the last year, and only very few catch his "attention". So it looks like I will be getting a bottle of this, but have to wait until I have extra cash since it's like a whopping $50! Smells BEAUTIFUL after it dries down, soft, clean, slight powdery..LOVE IT!

I do understand why the makers of Glowing are holding it up as a "evolution of glow" - both fragrances are what I'd describe as fresh & clean - but don't confuse that as meaning that the two fragrances are going to be the same. They aren't - Glow is bolder and is 'clean' as in meaning soapy, whereas Glowing is closer to the skin and is 'clean' as in meaning uncluttered. Glowing is great for when I don't want to wear overwhelmingly sweet, spicy, smoky or powerful floral perfume, but still want to wear a nicely structured, long lasting fragrance. Glowing avoids the fruit punch aspects that are common in the J.Lo perfumes so comes of as more adult in comparison, and makes me feel more put-together and polished but not overdone. Whilst I wouldn't say I love Glowing, I do like it and wear it regularly, so am likely to buy it again (as long as I find it as cheap as I did this time).

This is a big surprise to me because I have expected a clean yet sexy woody scent for dirty sweaty nights in the 21st century. This truly soft, warm, woody, milky scent gives me more violets than I have expected but I am enjoying it. This is not a scent for girls but for women in their mid-thirties and up. The more I smell it the more it becomes a scent for daytime: rainy spring, Sunday's newspaper, a stroll with the dog, tea time with his parents. To me it is less sexy but more sophisticated and composed. I kinda want to wear a light grey cashmere sweater and boat shoes now and have french breakfast by the coast somewhere. I smell late-1970s, Martha's vineyard, Jackie O., briefcases and interesting playwright folk having a splendid time. Susan Sullivan should have been J.Lo's postergirl for this scent. Or Lauren Hutton.

This is my first fragrance from JLo and have to say, am really impressed! Easily passes for a men's frag and has drawn many positive compliments! The citrus opening gives way to an aromatic heart and a warm powdery base.. It is less 'in your face' and more 'quietly confident' than the original Glow, and is best suited to the (now) slightly more mature fans of the first fragrance. I found it settled quickly on my skin, but it continued to garner attention from others for many hours after application, every so often I would catch a whisp of it and be reminded of how nice it was! I like the 'illuminating' bottle, most people thought this was cool! I can see how some may find it tacky, but I didnt mind!

Found a mini bottle at TJ Maxx (sadly, the mini does not light up) and am trying it for the first time, on a hot, humid, sticky day in Michigan. I can see where this would be better suited to cooler weather, because it gives off a vibe of walking through the woods on a crisp, cool, sunny day. It's clean, yet woodsy. I am really liking the cypress - I don't believe I've encountered this particular note in anything I own. It's got a very fresh character - it reminds me of freshly cut pine boughs. Take a nice, hot shower, put on a cozy cream sweater and colorful scarf, and take a long, easy stroll in the woods on a gorgeous autumn day and wear Glowing. Very nice and unique!

The Kohls stores where I live finally got this. I was out and about and decided to give Glowing a whirl. It's really nice; I love the woody undertones. It smells clean and while I normally don't like "clean", this one has enough earthiness to keep me interested. This one kinda reminds me of "Love and Light", but with less floral. I bought the body lotion and IMO, I think it smells like the perfume. It's interesting that J.Lo has deviated from the tropical, fruity frags to frags that are earthy, woody, and floral; very different shift I think, but a good one. If you're looking for a clean, woody, slightly powdery frag then give Glowing a try.

I've had it for so long and I think I now understand/print it properly. It's a clean, expensive, elegant, sexy, mature, powdery, violet version of the original Glow. To me it comes out somewhat unisex, maybe it's the cypress with the violet, but despite all that, it's a nice everyday scent, the bottle is definitely unique. I really want to try the other two flankers he has, I think I'll like the goddess a lot. 7/10

If you find Glow intense and very clean and you want something more mature classic then you will like this. Quite mature classic woody floral and a little sweet, for all seasons, especially for autumn winter and for morning and evening for slightly older ages, to be honest. It has a cleanness but not like Glow, for me it has faded up to that point 7/10 for starters.😃

There's something slightly skanky in Glowing that I just can't quite put my finger on. I don't believe it's the musk so I think it may be the amber. It's what I call the "dirty panty" note. Aside from that I mostly smell violets, but not of the candied variety, definitely floral. I'm also picking up a fair amount of orange blossom in the background.

Picked this up last night and I must say it's very different from the scents I'm used to from JLow. Very nice but not something I would wear during the day at work again. Powdery with a slight hint of vanilla but the violet does dominate this fragrance. Honestly one spray is enough and it lasts on me all day. A great scent for warm summer evenings.

First reaction to this perfume is spicy. I feel the orange and the spicyness right at the beginning. Then I can feel the cypress. The middle is a woody spicy scent and the dry down is powdery. The actual bottle was a good idea, but I think the light actually makes it look cheap. It's a bright blue light that clearly shines from the top

Tried it on at Kohls, starts off young, with a pop of citrus. Settles into a warm, creamy musk but almost too powdery after an hour, like spilling a canister of spicy talc. Pretty, but not for me. It almost won me over until the powdery canvas kicked it. The bottle is something that deserves a double take, a novelty!

I always adored Fahrenheit by Dior. Adored! And since I'm no man and just won't wear men's cologne ( I just don't do it) I can't be more happy to tell you guys (women) that THIS is Fahrenheit's twin sister. Identical. Except that one sister has a small 'Marilyn mole' on her left upper lip. :) This is a good one.

I humbly broke down and purchased (a small bottle), even after my last review of the heavier powder dry down. I just can't give up the overall earthy cypress and amber, unisex layers of uniqueness this fragrance offers. Something about it completely captivates my senses over and over.

Oh,Jen,Jen,Jen. How I love it when you REAllY focus and put your mind into something. The notes harmonize perfectly with each other!!! This is just one good perfume. SO not disturbing to the nose. Unbelievably sensual. NOT sexy....sensual. :) My next!!!!

This is a surprisingly good perfume. After the first thirty seconds of meh it becomes a fresh clean woody very elegant. Slightly unisex.It settles into a warm ambery rich fume redolent of a lighter easier to wear and much cheaper Jeux de Peau.

As soon as I sniffed this I thought of DK Liquid Nude, Sensuous Nude, and Sean john Unforgivable Woman. Unfortunately, I can't find anything else to say about it. It's a dupe of too many others.

Very nice. Smooth and creamy. A "dreamy" scent. On my skin the vanilla really stands out and I can't help but like it. This is one you can't stop sniffing!

Smells quite masculine,although it is rather similar to Estee Lauder Sensuous which i have and adore,smells good.

Have some from Kohls...surprisingly nice and the hubby liked it!
