Love and Light

Love & Light! One of my favorite fragrances ever, without a doubt! I can't even begin to explain how much I LOVE this fragrance, but I'm gonna try. I really wanted this fragrance as soon as it came out. I already had Love & Glamour, and still do. I wasn't really blown away by it so I didn't really know what to expect from LL. But I knew just by the notes that I would love it a lot more. It took for ages to get this one! I live in Amsterdam and while its relatively easy to find JLo fragrances, mainly online, and for excellent prices may I add. It always takes a while for the new ones to arrive. Lucky for me, I have the best brother in law who goes a lot on business trips and America is one of the places he travels to at least 3 times a year, so he's always kind enough to buy me lots of Jennifer Lopez fragrances and products, and the newest one from Kohls each time he's there. So after all that struggle, patience and anticipating. I finally owned Love & Light. Even if it was a 30ml. I loved this scent! My eyes went like WOW when I smelled it, you know what I mean? I just loved it! I read a lot of the reviews and they all say they can't smell the fruits. Which surprised me because the main reasons I love this fragrance is because of its beautiful apricot note. It's smooth and creamy. The apricot is really like your best friend through this experience. While your parents (pomegranate & red current) are backing you up, with your little brother (mandarin) near. The weather is musky but warm, and you're eating praline chocolates while surrounded by wet patchouli bushes, rain dropped roses and dewy Jasmine flowers. That is Love and Light. It's not a simple fragrance and I love that about it. I already got a couple of big 75ml bottles as back up, just in case. I wouldn't ever wanna run out of this beautiful scent. We can't seem to find the body lotion which makes me really sad. But I can say if YOU can find this fragrance and the body lotion PICK IT UP! You'll love it. On me it last literally the whole day with amazing silage. You really can't go wrong with this fragrance. At least I couldn't! Jennifer Lopez, you go girl! LOVE!

At first I didn't get why people kept comparing L&L to Deseo. That's because I sprayed this very sparingly (1 small spritz, dabbed on both the insides and the outsides of my wrists). Now that I've sprayed my 'normal amount before leaving the house' (a spray on each wrist, 1 on either side of my neck, and 1 on the back of my neck), I see what they mean. It does kind of remind me of a less harsh Deseo. But it also reminds me of Versace Woman. Like, a lot. Am I the only one? Anyway, the opening notes are okay, but not something I'd reach for often. What I LOVE about this frag is the drydown. It's such a beautiful, soft, warm, musky sweet skin scent that smells so much better than what I'd expected from a perfume that cost me 11 bucks. This is the type of patchouli that isn't scary; it doesn't smell very earthy, or dirty; it's more of a powdery, processed, 'cosmetic' type patchouli, if that makes any sense. I personally love that more than the 'scary' natural smelling patch, although I guess that might make me a plebeian in the eyes of Luca Turin worshippers. Weirdly this drydown seems much more noticeable when I only wear a small amount of this, which makes it a perfect scent for staying in and relaxing around the house. I love this (and I've had my issues with some of JLo's other scents)! I will definitely stock up on a larger bottle once I'm halfway done with my current one. 4.1/5

I agree with others that have said they didn't care for the Love and Glamour. It isn't awful, it isn't offensive...it's just not really worth a tiddly poop. I read the reviews before purchasing blind. I saw mention of this being close to Deseo. Also it was mentioned this is similar to an Avon one by Reese Witherspoon...Love to the Fullest. Both statements are true. Comparisons and descriptions lead me to a wonderful blind buy. I think of the three, Deseo and Love to the Fullest would be more easily worn by a man than Love and Light. Love and Light is the sweeter of the three, but yet not REAL sweet. It's got a touch of the smoky note that Glow after Dark has. It's not nearly as strong, but it's there...at least to my nose. This is a scent you can blind buy if you read the reviews here, and make a good judgement call. I'm very happy. The only thing that might have not agreed with my nose was the pomegranate. I like pomegranate, but was afraid of something so tangy with such sweetness. It doesn't show it's zippy punch to my nose. Everything is blended and likeable. This is pretty modern to my nose. I get nothing mature from this. Anyone can wear it, but's not old school at all. If you end up not liking this, you won't be out much. I'm sure you'll find someone that will take this off your hands! Love this scent! It's a true "sexy sweet" scent!

I tried this today at Kohls and was pleasantly surprised; I liked it so much that I bought the gift set. I was leery of this one because I wasn't a fan of Love & Glamour, but Love & Light is much better. First of all, it does not smell like M by Mariah Carey nor does it smell like Euphoria. I own both and this smells nothing like either one. It's definitely, as a another reviewer noted, a sparkling floral-woody fragrance. It's very elegant and not too "perfumey" smelling. I can see where it could have a unisex appeal, as the dry down is warm and woodsy. It doesn't smell like anything I own, and I have a ton of frags. I have been a huge fan of J.Lo's frags for a long time, but it seemed that in the past few years, some of her scents just didn't do anything for me. It seemed the vibrant appeal was gone. Not with this one! Thanks for another amazing frag! Way to go, J.Lo!

Love and Light is an underrated beauty. It's unusual. I have a hard time expressing just why I love it so much- ! It is musky, sweet, dense, and almost greenly sour with a tangy pomegranate bite. Then the patchouli! This is by far the most charming patchouli I've ever met in a perfume. The way it mixes with the fuzzy musk, sweet toffee, and sour fruit makes Love and Light mouthwatering. At the same exact time, the noses that created this used a clean musk and citrus that gives it an almost clean/fresh vibe so to me, it never feels cloying or too heavy. This is so glam and feels like luxury. Sounds confusing, like too much going on, but it is blended so well it just really works! The curvy shimmery opalescent light green bottle is the perfect visual representation of the juice inside. Lasts over 10 hours- another big plus. Patchouli lovers should try this one.

I do love this fragrance, however, I don't think it's a special fragrance in anyway. A lot like Deseo, but better in my opinion. At first spray I get a harsh, almost old lady like patchouli smell. As it dries down I get all florals! Rose and Jasmine especially! I get not fruits AT ALL, which disappoints me greatly! I also get a chocolatey smell which blends well with everything! I would choose this over Love and Glamour any day! Over all a nice delicate fragrance once it dries down! I love the bottle and packaging! The box has a star and glitter effect which is beautiful! I love the white, it makes it simple yet elegant. The bottle is gorgeous with the green and gold iridescence effect! The cap is a little odd but I love the star cutout under the plastic. I would recommend if you love floral, musky, and patchouli perfumes!

So I have been with Fragrantica for a few years and have had the pleasure to learn about and try all kinds of perfumes from high end to drug store classics. This one is truly amazing. I had it stashed away and forgot about it when I wanted something different for cooler weather and pulled this one out. Jennifer Lopez perfumes do not disappoint. Honestly this one is just a beauty and the lasting power is very good. I have bottles of $175 perfumes that under perform this in many ways. Without reviewing the notes I get a happy scent. Something that is different enough to turn heads and make people want to ask what it is , and not popular enough to totally be recognized in a crowd. That's what I love about it. I don't care to smell like everyone out there.

You'll need to appreciate patchouli to get along with this because it is *strong* on the patch, but that's part of the attraction for me. This fragrance feels warm, dark and a little spicy. There's a tiny splash of fruit in the opening and then it becomes a woody floral where the main player is sweet, musky patchouli. The jasmine is rich but stays in the background. I don't really smell the praline or the apricot. While I wouldn't say it's a fruity fragrance, in the summer I notice a little tartness, possibly from the pomegranate. ETA: I much prefer this one over Love and Glamour and I agree that they should've swapped the bottles.

It smells a little similar to Euphoria by Calvin Klein, but only in the opening top notes. At first the strongest notes are the mandarin orange, red currant and pomegranate. Then during the dry down the most noticable note is the patchouli. This is a very deep and slightly masculine scented perfume with a lot of patchouli. The other notes are very weak and not very noticeable. This scent can be described as mysterious and earthy. The 2.5oz or 75ml bottle can only be bought now from HSN. This Fall only the 1oz or 30ml will be available in department stores.

I get the apricot, praline & patchouli most. This is a gorgeous, sophisticated, womanly scent! To my nose it's powdery❤️ I went through a 75ml bottle, and quickly bought another, glad I did because this is so hard to find in Australia now. Jen definitely surprises me with how good her fragrances are. I'm giving this a solid 10/10 Amongst all the perfumes I own, nothing can compare to this. It's different it's amazing. Try it if you can find it. So sexy, and won't let you down! Longevity: 6 hours.

This is definitely going to be one of my favorite J lo scents for sure :) It a a soft creamy scent with some slight powder in the dry down. It really reminds me of Reese Witherspoon's perfume "Love to the Fullest" which i also own. There are a few different notes then in Reese's perfume but if you like this and can't find it then I strongly urge you to get Love to the fullest :) There are also notes in this perfume that smell like Deseo by J lo too. I'm a fan of most of her frangrances :)

I'm a fan of Jlo fragrances coz I find them so wearable and long lasting. This is an elegant, clean and a creamy comforting scent at the same time. I love the combination of the top notes, one of the best fruity openings. The dry down is where the elegance enters. For me, it's a tiny bit similar to Avon's Far Away Dreams, only a little bit though. Their dry downs are definitely different, which is great coz I prefer Love & Light to be original somehow since I paid more for it.

I really like this one because it's different. So many fragrances smell alike these days. This one at least from what I smelled is unique. At first spray it's slightly unpleasant, however when it dries down it turn to a nice coconut scent. I do not get masculine smell from this at all but it is more spicy which in turn could make some feel it masculine. I do not like masculine fragrances and I do like this one. I think it would make a great evening fragrance.

For me, this is a strong like, and almost love. It's very surprising and delicious. Never would have expected this from a low-priced celebrity fragrance. The dry-down is especially dreamy...Very sweet patchouli. Along with patchouli, I smell praline, musk, and red currant. This doesn't come across as being overly masculine. It leans slightly in that direction, but in a good way. Sillage and longevity are moderate/decent.

@Whit totally agree! Love and Glamour is okay but not as good as expected. However Love and Light is HUGE improvement!! At first sniff it reminded me of Marc Jacobs Lola...but it's still SO diff. Not the same at ALL. This a a very classy chic evening fragrance and glamorous just as J-Lo likes. When I dress up for an occasion, this is the perfect choice.

Love & glamour is so easy to find here in aus.. I don't like that one. I want to see love & light back on the shelves... Maybe the chemists are hiding it, because it literally smells that GOOD! Haha. J.Lo seriously made one hell of a combination with this one❤️❤️❤️ If I ever come across bottles I'll definitely purchase more than a couple.

Blind bought this because I trust Jennifer Lopez fragrances to be wonderful. This didn't disappoint. Amazing drydown with lasting power. I can't stress enough that her fragrances don't have that cheap artificial chemical smell and I really appreciate that. It's high end quality without the price.

Very feminine fragrance. Smells like Avon a Rare Pearls and SJP NYC Crush equally combined! Blind buy, Wasn't sure if I'd like it but I was pleasantly surprised. Kind of has a romantic flirty feel to it. IMO anyone can wear it and lasts about 6 hrs on me. Definitely worth the $12 I paid for it!

Loving this scent. I can smell some chocolate, patchouli, and almost a sandalwood note. Surprised to like a JLo fragrance. It wears nicely on the skin for daytime. I find the scent unique, maybe even a bit woodsy and masculine too. Reminds my of Emporio Armani White for Her. Love!

This was a pleasent surprise! The scent and the bottle are a contrast and even the name. Love&Light and sheer shimmery green tone on the bottle but the scent is deep and musky but not masculine, i'm in love!!! i would possibly get a 1.7oz of this in the future.
