JLuxe

I received an almost empty, well-aged bottle of this recently. It’s nothing I would have ever bought on my own, nothing about it looked like I would like it better than what I already owned. I’ve been wearing this for the last 4 days... and was surprised how much I love it. I should preface this by saying I’m a perfume hobbyist, I simply enjoy the experience. I’m not chasing the current perfume favorites - I often can’t afford to, and they just cycle-through too rapidly. I also no longer assume the oldies aren’t for me (thank you White Diamonds for teaching me that lesson so I don’t miss out on these gems!). I just like perfumes. Why I preface this is because a couple perfumes seemed to have their moments a decade ago and are now regarded as very much “out of fashion”. But not to me. The two specific ones I call back when I’m wearing J.Luxe, are: Flowerbomb and La Vie est Belle. I never wore these in their hay-day, so to me they aren’t attached with any specific time... and therefor are timeless beauties for me. So with that said: how does J.Luxe not have patchouli?! Not the kind that’s in older scents from the 70’s, but the 2010’s kind? I smell it, and I love what I’m getting! I have BBW Into the Night and am comparing them today... Into the Night is much sweeter, with less of a balance to it, and much more raspberry - although it is stronger. I think if this was sold in a 100mL bottle I would buy it.

I had recently came across a gift of this fragrance at Burlington. I already had the rollerball of this, so i was familiar with this fragrance, but to my recollection, this scent wasn't very impressive, so it just sat and collected dust. I'm not sure what changed, but upon the first spray, it was an instant love. Jluxe is one of those fruity fragrances that suites the older 35+ crowd just as much as the younger crowd. 🖤 In the opening, there's an interesting and strong blend of Pineapple, Amber and Bergamot that pretty much dominates the entire fragrance. You don't really get much of the Raspberry or floral notes, atleast not to my nose. It's simple, but unique. The Cedar and Musk are more detectable as the fragrance fades. The only downside with Jluxe is that it lasted only 3 hours on my skin, which is not the worst performing fragrance I've experienced. It's still worth wearing, but like i mentioned before, the opening is kind of strong, which mislead me to think that this had potential to last much longer lol. But overall, i still love this fragrance and for $16.99, i can't say it's a waste of money. Scent: 8/10 Packaging: 7/10 Performance: 4/10

Great line. Beautiful smell, stronger than love and lust, but I really love all three of them, the whole line. To be honest, I smelled glow before and it was awful, strong soap and cleaning agent. So I’ve read the notes very carefully comparing them to glow series and came to the conclusion that this line is a hit. Still I was afraid as it was a blind buy. But hey, they’re gorgeous! This one is like noir version, the night, the dark composition, elegant with a black mini dress.

Oh my i love this! I saw it at Ross today and had to get it because it only cost $10.99 for 1 oz bottle. Checked fragrantica notes and its right up my alley. This blind buy was love at first sniff when i got home. It smells warm, soft, powdery, ambery and sweet. Too bad it doesn’t have 3oz bottles coz’ i will definitely buy a bigger one. The prices at Ebay are ridiculous too. So i feel very happy and lucky i found this gem at Ross.

OMG, I love this one! It opens fruity and delicious, then becomes more floral as it settles. The performance isn’t amazing, so don’t be afraid to spray generously. It was recommended to me on TikTok as a unisex fragrance, but I don’t really agree. It definitely leans feminine to my nose. Still, that doesn’t bother me at all, I enjoy it a lot.
