Promise

From the second that i first smelled it, this became my #1 favorite perfume. Like if it ever became unavailable I would genuinely be heartbroken. It is my signature perfume, as I feel like it's suitable for any occasion. It's not super strong or offensive, but it has a decent sillage, like I'd say 7/10. My body chemistry works with pretty much all perfumes- but this one smells amazing on me, very warm cashmere amber with a subtle sweetness. It smells "expensive" to me, which is surprising because of how well priced it is. I get a ton of compliments and it's one of my fiances favorites on me, second only to Eilish (he loves vanilla.) I've read some bad reviews for this perfume which really surprised me. I know that everyone's body chemistry is different and everyone has their own personal preferences but I can't believe how many people don't like it. I honestly dont know if some people just got a bad batch, because for me, just smelling the lid is such a warm and inviting smell. I also read that some people complained that it didn't last long for them, which is crazy, because for me, it lasts all day long. It lingers on my coat for days as well as my car seat belt. Scent- 10/10 Longevity- 10/10 Sillage- 7/10 Versatility- 10/10 Price Value- 10/10

I tested this in the store on card, and it was gorgeous, very fresh, clean floral and woody! And I had to have it because I don’t own many fragrances like that. However when I tested it on my skin it’s Rihanna Rogue Love and Viva la Juicy almost a complete dupe of them with maybe the tiniest difference or less sweetness. I still love it as I have both of those fragrances and enjoy them a lot but did I want a third almost the same? No. Yet one positive out of this is that this projects on me quite a bit more it lasts around the same 4 hours as Rihanna Rogue Love but the projection in those few hours is beautiful definitely within 2 metres you can still catch whiffs of this. So if you want to purchase it for the woody floral aspect definitely test on your skin first.

I don’t get the bad reviews on this one, it’s a Woodsy, sweet and creamy perfume that leaves a delicious trail wherever you go. The notes are so well blended I can’t actually pick out what it is I’m smelling the most. I do see the resemblance to Viva La Juicy and Rogue Love but they both overdose on that sickly sweet caramel note whereas Promise smells more mature and grown up. I know a few people that wear this and it always smells lovely. The lasting power is around 5 hours which isn’t great considering the price of this perfume but I can’t fault the actually smell its self. I’ve never smelt fish or anything like that here, just a creamy, Woodsy smell that gains compliments.

This actually smells super good, and as time goes on I get more wafts when I move around and it is really nice and easy wear. I can kind of see the comparisons to viva la juicy and rogue love, but to me those are syrupy and headache inducing. This one is more smooth, toned down, mature and very woody. Fantastic smell and lasting power. I sometimes don’t like how snobby fragrantica reviews come across. Go take a look on google for this scent, it has over 600 reviews and a total average of 4.4/5. That’s pretty good

Enjoy it a lot, my fave of this series is One, but this one is nice too. Very much in the same vein as Viva La Juicy, but this feels like its better blended, softer with more creaminess, I can notice the pink pepper pretty well in it, as well as the honeysuckle/jasmine combo. Performance is meh but this is still lovely, I’d say you’ll get 3-4 hours of close silage, not a skin scent but a small bubble. I usually hate when fragrances have a “cashmere” note in them but I don’t detect anything like that in this.

Light delicate floral. Very pretty and intimate. Slight woodiness but not as much as One. It's a really nice light day scent that leaves a soft trail. Perfect for a signature scent. It really is beautiful. **EDIT** Oh my. I LOVE this. I mean I really LOVE this. I thought Limitless was my favourite of the three but I think this is. The jasmine/honeysuckle is beautiful ✨

Very feminine and calming scent. Definitely something I would associate with mothers, it reminds me of cuddling in bed with my mom when I was a kid. It's inoffensive, a great blind buy for people looking for a daily perfume, or just want something that's a little nostalgic.

Really love this one! To me it reminds me of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche but a tad more floral. I got it as a gift and just use it everyday, I also use it as a room spray! On my skin it smells more woody and unisex than when sprayed in the room.

This reminds me of Burberry Brit, its sweet and warm. Love it :) I can smell almond. Its so good :) The sillage is moderate and it lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin.

I love it. I was still smelling myself some time after thinking wow. Smells like you’re in the woods and some magical creatures are lurking in.

98% identical to Viva La Juicy. Only WEAKKKKK. Holy hell JLO. What in the world were you thinking?!?! I got a 1.7 oz bottle online for a very reasonable price, like $33. Waited until I was freshly showered at night, with clean dry skin, and I gave about two sprays on my neck and about two sprays on each wrist. I kid you not...it was a skin scent almost IMMEDIATELY. It projected for probably...10 minutes. I have somewhere between 200 & 300 fragrances, male AND female in my collection and this is probably in the top 3 WEAKEST eau de parfums that I own. This is legit pitiful. Almost every EDT I own is stronger than this...and even almost every body mist for goodness sake that I own from Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret are stronger than this. To say something positive...the bottle to me looks kinda cheap in the photo. But in person, it's actually beautiful and it's made of quality glass / material. The only difference to me between this and Viva La Juicy is the cashmere wood which smells slightly cotton-like. Like a warm, clean sweater fresh out of the dryer. It's basically Viva La Juicy with that as an added note. My recommendation? Buy Viva La Juicy instead. It's only gonna give you moderate performance but I'm perfectly fine with average performance. This is WAYYY below the mark for me. Scent Itself - 8/10 Longevity - About 2 hours. Projection - About 1-2 feet for 10-15 minutes. Then it's a skin scent. Will last 4-6 hours on clothing but still does not project. Overall Score - 5/10. Totally underwhelming performance and extremely lacking in originality. C'mon JLO! You're better than this. I'm so disappointed.

The starring scent note in Promise is the sandalwood; not really a surprise, as Jennifer Lopez has said a few times that sandalwood is one of her favourite scent notes. The pear and occasional hints of raspberry compliment the creamy sandalwood note perfectly - such a smooth blend. I really enjoy honeysuckle, which really compliments the jasmine, orris and sandalwood blend. I'm also quite sure that I can pick up on some magnolia - another favourite of mine. There isn't much difference between the heart and base, as the sandalwood and creaminess is very consistent; the only noteable difference for me is a light undefined wood and sugared amber accord which develops around the four hour mark. The issue that could be considered as a downside to the fragrance is that it's quiet and dries down somewhere around six hours. A fabulous all-rounder, that I think is one of Jennifer Lopez's best fragrances since Still. Promise is Love & Glamour done right; being close to another fragrance means that Promise isn't original, but it is a lovely improvement on what was done earlier. Very smooth and elegant. I wouldn't call it a must-have, but I'll wearing my bottle very happily and if I see it on offer when my bottle is empty, then I'd definitely consider a repurchase. I think that Promises is an ageless fragrance, that is also seasonless and can be dressed up or down, day or night.

It's not bad but I get synthetic impression from the opening of this. The drydown is clean, gently floral, creamy, a bit powdery and very soothing. It's like being caressed. Some notes remind me of creamy Almond and Milk Palmolive shower gel. My guess would be that there are almond/peach blossoms or almond milk notes in it. I catch no sandalwood, maybe it's well blended and doesn't stick out. There's nothing woody or fruity about this to me. It's powdery and smells like cosmetic products but in a really good way. Like when you come out of the shower, put on scented body lotion and wrap yourself in a clean, soft blanket. When I smell it, I almost see soft, pink almond/peach blossoms all around. I'd love to have a hand cream with this fragrance. The liquid form doesn't match well with this scent profile to me. It screams of lotion/hand cream. It still lingers on my skin after a long shower and it smells of cleanliness. It holds very well on clothes too and smells elegantly even days after. I'd say that it gradually goes from powdery to aquatic. The strip is a different story. It's sharper and definitely more floral. At first I can smell primarily jasmine and honeysuckle on it, later it turns into a more blended aquatic, uplifting form.

my opinion, Promise is Jennifer's (discontinued fragrance) Love & Glamour reimagined; the starring scent note in Promise is the sandalwood, which is not really a surprise, as Jennifer Lopez has said a few times that sandalwood is one of her favourite notes to use in fragrance. The soft sugar water and occasional hints of spiced raspberry compliment the creamy sandalwood note perfectly - such a smooth blend. I really enjoy honeysuckle, which really compliments the creamy sandalwood note. I'm also quite sure that I can pick up on some magnolia - another favourite of mine. The orris adds a bit of sweetness. I can't fully separate the other floral notes; possibly orange blossom and ylang ylang? There isn't much difference between the fragrance's heart and base - a bit more sweetness as the sugared amber accord mingles with the sandalwood perhaps. As Promise is basically a remake of one of the brand's earlier releases, I can't really say it's amazingly special, but it is very well done for what it is. I think that this is an ageless fragrance, that is also seasonless and can be worn anywhere - it can be easily dressed up or down, night and day.

I blind bought a 3 pc gift set on Black Friday because the price was great & free gift with it was awesome. This is a feminine classy fruity floral scent. Nothing new or unique but it’s pretty and nice to wear. In 65 degree weather in December Arizona is windy and chilly now. This fragrance on me lasts all day with the first hour projecting strongly to 6 feet with a scent trail. After that it is a skin scent but strong so anyone standing close to you smells it too. This is an easy perfume to wear to grocery store, errands, doctor or dentist office without bothering others around me. Would I buy it again? No it is nice but too generic and my huge perfume collection does not need this type of fragrance since I end up with too many after blind buys. Worth trying it & cheap to buy during holidays with great gifts offered.

Honeysuckle is definitely the dominant note, Promise to my nose is a soft white floral, with a light woody sandalwood base. There is definitely some sweetness in the opening blast, it's quite fruity, but that doesn't last very long. I would assume Pink pepper is a mistake, there is definitely none in here. This is a very very light fragrance, after a few minutes, I thought it became a skin scent, it has very limited projection, offering up literally no cloud. It's very light, very pleasant. I think this would be really nice for someone that perhaps struggles with heavy fragrances, I have two family members that suffer with allergies to anything particularly fragrant, I think this would be ideal in their cases. Nothing to dislike.

Ordered this one this past weekend. (End of January 2020. Should be here the first few days of February.) I'll be reviewing it after I give it a proper wear or two. Was debating on ordering the candle first as I LOVE to make my house smell nice. But I decided to try the perfume first as I was lucky enough to score a 1.7 ounce bottle for like $28 online. If I like the perfume...I'll be ordering several of the candles as they can be found on Ebay for like under $14. Stay tuned...I'll post my review in the next few days.... On a side note...I can't decide if the bottle looks cheap, or beautiful. LOL. I'm sure I'll be more decisive the second I see it in person.

For a split second I can smell something fruity when first sprayed but then I get a hefty hit of pink pepper (pink berries? Not actual berries, definitely pink pepper because I definitely smell it. If it were berries instead of pink pepper I’d like this a lot more.) Then it morphs into the amber/cashmere wood/sandalwood. I loved this at first because I definitely didn’t smell the pepper but now I’m not so sure. I do like it once it’s sat on my skin for about 10 minutes as the dry down is nice. I get zero florals. It’s a pretty scent and smells more expensive and classier than some of JLO’s past fragrances.

I like this. Warm clean floral. Very similar to SJP Stash Unspoken. That same Floral rose woody warm amber scent. Very classic. Surprisingly not long lasting. But. I didn’t spray very heavily as I didn’t want to overwhelm Myself. Beautiful bottle though. And not like anything else JLO has done. I will say it’s sad that as of late her perfumes are smelling like other peoples scents when she use to be a stand alone fragrance brand no one smelled like her and she smelled Like no one. Her glowing goddess was amazing and unique but that was the last one that smelled unique.
