Kenneth Cole For Her

A lovely member of the Fragrantica community recommended Kenneth Cole for Her (based on my love of Glow). I bought it as a blind buy and really like it. It has a soft, lux, soapy quality. I feel squeaky clean wearing it. On my skin it has great longevity, but quite low projection, however I get delightful little wafts of it throughout the day. I would definitely agree that this smells much like Glow - I was on the look-out for a more refined, non-celebrity version, and this is it. It is slightly more subtle in my opinion, and sits closer to my skin. This isn’t an exciting or bold fragrance (if that’s what you’re into). It is however a nice, clean fragrance that I’m so happy to have a full bottle of for everyday wear. It suits my tastes perfectly and I will wear it often.

I LOVE this perfume sooo much. It smells exactly like JLO Glow but better. There is something in it I love. It captures the nivea (blue bottle) lotion so well. I just want to bury my nose into this scent (after it has settled on the skin). The initial scent can be rough on the throat but its all worth it for what follows...for hours.

At first spray I can see the similarity to JLo. But then after around half an hour (maybe less?) magic happens. What a beautiful soft, delicate cosy scent. Powdery but that sharpness that accompanies the first spray dies down into a lightly musky floral hug. Love it!

It smells a lot like J.Lo Glow, so it's impossible not to love it. I feel like it's a bit softer, both in the opening and in the drydown. Very soapy, creamy, lovely. Great if you're a soap lover (and i am!). I think i like this better than Glow (oops).

Similar to Glow but I like this one SO much more! Try layering with Paul Sebastian, Casual. It's perfect!!!

I didn't know of this perfume's existence, but got sent a sample. At first sniff I knew it smelt like something. That something was J.Lo's Glow of over a decade and a half ago. Back in the day of my early teens, Glow was my go to fragrance. But I've moved on and am surprised that this kind of generic, musky yet clean fragrance has made a re-appearance. The nose behind this fragrance, Nicole Mancini describes the woman who wears this perfume as "traditional with an edge". I can't say I agree. There isn't anything particularly edgy about Kenneth Cole for Her - it's a standard musk, sandalwood and flowers. This doesn't make it unpleasant. Where Glow is cloying and very synthetic, KC for Her is more subtle. A few sprays leave you feeling fresh and ready to begin your day. Initially I was disappointed as the smell seemed to dissipate from my skin within the first hour. Fast forward to a good 6 hours later: I began to get a delicate whiff of all the good parts of this perfume - light sandalwood and jasmine. This was a surprise and left me low key impressed. While I will definitely not be purchasing this perfume, I'm happy to stick it out with my sample for a few months. Generic, easy, fresh. You won't get complaints.

I love JLo Glow and have several bottles of it, so in all honesty I probably don’t need this one... but I’m glad I went for it. It is pretty much a sister fragrance, yes. A soapy clean floral with Nivea lotion vibes. On my skin the LOV is amped up and the musk dialled down compared to Glow. The sillage and longevity are on a par with Glow. Maybe Glow lasts a touch longer. Lovely, quality packaging and solid bottle. I got this very cheaply (as cheap as Glow), so it’s a win for me.

This reminds me a lot of Elizabeth Arden's Splendor. I checked the notes, and sure enough, peony and citrus at the top, jasmine and LOTV in the middle, musks at the base. If you have one, you don't need the other. I love the bottle. This is a more simple and mellow version of Splendor if you are looking for something fresh and subdued. I like it!

Really pretty straight-up lily-of-the-valley scent. Simple, not too sweet, floral but not heady. Just pretty. Okay, except for one little side note. There's something about LOTV that kinda turns into cat pee just for a moment off and on. Does anyone else find this? Is it a particular synthetic being used in there? No idea.

Suuuper similar to JLo glow. I just got JLo glow in the mail today (bought it blind after going through a sample of this). Glow has a Nivea accord peaking through the early dry down, and is all together slightly softer than Kenneth Cole for Her. But other than those two points, they are identical.

Definitely gives “old bar of soap”. There’s a synthetic rose smell in there. Slightly spicy. It’s kind of a vibe! I’m 99% sure it’s not full bottle worthy, but I’ve been having fun with my sample.

This smells like jlo glow but better. It last longer and smells more expensive. I wear it to work and get compliments. It isn't edgy tho it smells like dove soap.

I think it's pretty under rated hot summer day sunscreen vibes. Clean fresh slightly powdery. Love it!

Nice! Picked it up at TJ Maxx for 25.00. Kind of an old school floral.

Gives Diorissimo vibes (not a dupe)

This is a soapy floral. More soapy in the opening, and more floral in the dry-down. There's something that feels vintage about this fragrance. I wouldn't call this powdery, although it has those facets. I usually like powdery frags, but not this. The notes can be misleading for this one. Imo, this is for those who enjoy clean, soapy florals.

I like the way JLo Glow smells but never had an urge to purchase it. From what I remember (15+ years ago) it was fresh, lightly sweet and musky-really nice. I am totally confused about the comparison to Glow. To me (a fresh, floral gal) Kenneth Cole Her has NO dna from Glow. It does have some similarities to Gap's "Heaven," but I liked and owned Heaven in '95 and I DO NOT like Kenneth Cole. I just finished testing on my arm and would not test this one again. Nothing draws me to it. If this was a let down for you and maybe you enjoyed some aspect of it, test Shania Twain's Starlight. I own that one and though I don't wear it outside OR at home much, it is a comforting scent and recommend it as a bedtime fragrance. My bottle was purchased about 7-8 years ago. $11 for a 1.7 oz is a GREAT price when you can't find a sample of it anywhere. This is the only time I do blind-buys.

The best thing about Kenneth Cole’s ‘For Her’ fragrance is the heavyweight glass bottle. It’s a quality niche bottle containing a weak toilet spray air freshener. A generous spray initially leaves a plasticy looking hairspray-like sheen against the skin. The scent is so weak, I feel like I’m testing a harmless children’s fragrance that came free with a doll. I wanted a clean detergent type scent with punch, but I got a distant smell of soap suds against plates. There’s also the faintest vanilla there, it’s not listed but it’s enough to make me use my 100ml bottle for breaking windows or simply as a paper weight.

Kenneth Cole For Her by Kenneth Cole is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Top notes are lemon, carrot seeds and pink peony; Middle notes are jasmine, cyclamen, violet and lily-of-the-valley; Base notes are sandalwood, heliotrope, ambrette Smell like Quina moon flavor Skin tonic in Thailand Has sell...It's very similar!

Old-fashioned and musky. I'll pass.

I ordered a 3.4oz bottle from a popular fragrance website and just received it last week. The bottle is super hefty and looks nice and simple on my bathroom counter. Firstly, yes, it does smell very very similar to J-lo's Glow, I actually have them on side-by-side to compare right now. While at first spray, they seem identical, after a few minutes, the quality difference is evident. Glow tends to get a bit papery/dusty/powdery and loses some of it's richness while KC keeps its nice, round florals intact...like a rosy/jasmine face cream! I agree with the reviewer below me that this is not groundbreaking but it is lovely...and safe. It's clean and wafts in and out throughout the day and is, like they mentioned, a "musk-sandalwood-flowers" concoction. Yep, not edgy at al but really nice and clean feeling and a break from all the other overly sweet stuff that's everywhere you turn. The other perfume that this reminds me of, yet they are more like sisters or cousins, is PS Design. I have had that one for a couple years and passed it by SO many times at TJ Maxx because it was priced so low and the packaging is less than alluring...I just stupidly assumed that it wasn't any good. I was wrong...it's one of my favorites now. KC and PS Design share much of the same feel but PS Design tends to lean more toward bitter/sharp floral upfront but they become more similar in the drydown....soft, clean, creamy, musky, fresh. PS Design really stays longer on my skin too than either KC or Glow. I want to add that all of these perfumes but especially KC for Her remind me of a headshop oil often called China Rain...a really relaxing watery,floral musk. I'm going to enjoy this bottle ( it's huge) while I have it but probably won't buy again when it's gone...I'll probably stick to my PS Design because it's cheaper and I like it the most out of the three mentioned.

I understand the "old and musty" comments, as this is a tight composition with more than a few notes and probably a nice dose of aldehydes (so some might also think there's a bit of a hairspray quality here). It does loosen up a bit over the first hour or two and a fresh/florist shop element is obvious. The base notes seem at least a little weak, by contrast. Also, for guys who enjoy Boucheron Pour Homme, this is like a fresher version of that one. Not bad in any way, but clearly not for the typical teenager, from what I understand of their tastes these days.

Got this thinking it was reaction, but was pleasantly surprised, anyway. Its a clean floral that dries down to a soapy musk. It reminded me, instantly, of something at first spray and after wearing it for a full day, I can safely say this smells almost identical to the old Gap Heaven scent from the 90s. It was a favorite of mine, then. I think I bathed in it, most days. Its been long enough that the smell is nostalgic.

The opening is identical to Glow but this dries down smoother and just a tad sweeter. I have one on each arm right now and the main differences to me are that For Her has less skin musk than Glow and it also has the addition of heliotrope. Glow is soapier. This is creamier, more lotiony. But overall they smell very similar and have the same clean, easy-going, friendly vibe.

Why even pretend like the notes are not the same as the ones in Glow? This a total, mad disrespectful dupe of Glow by JLo. Only that one came out is 2002, costs way less, and its bottle is much cuter. I detest knock offs that sell at 3 times the original fragrance’s price without bringing anything new to the perfume world. F. P.S. It disappeared within an hour. F-.

I love the simplicity of the bottle design. Although, the juice is a bit of a powdery honey suckl-ish floral on me. I would love to try the layering scents to see how that would transform this. Perhaps it would make it a little less heavy floral, as I am not ready to smell like an old mom yet. I am a mom, but I still feel young and flirty.

This smells clean and simple, it took me some time to develop this sense of cultural/regional differentiation, but i can tell this smells NYC in the 90’s - Tommy Girl, True Star, 212 by C.H, pure white linen... not similar in notes but similar vibe. It is also like a grown up version of Jlow Glow

This is really nice! It does smell very similar to Glow however it is smoother and more refined. (I think there is also less Jasmine - thank goodness!) It is clean and soapy. And it smells just like Nivea. I'm going to order a 100ml bottle

This is similar to J Lo Glow, though it lacks the biting, chemical tone in Glow. I mostly get lily of the valley, jasmine and white musk. I've been looking for a good LOTV scent for years, and I'm so happy with this one.

Very clean soapy, powdery and to my nose a Vintage style scent. This is a great buy for those who want that clean fresh out of shower, fresh laundered clothes, soapy scent with floral notes.

I get the soapy floral vibe stated below. It’s quite nice. A great after shower scent to relax in. I do get a little bug spray but hoping that subsides.

What appears to be is Nivea cream with Heliotrope, other notes are white flowers. Feels like spring-summer everyday use, very clean wear.

Не е имитация на Glow jlo изобщо, повече напомня на twin и други подобни мускусни пудри, сапунен.

defo simular to glow by jlo, but not quite the same or as pleasant.

It smells like Anais Anais, but weaker. This scent is too mature

A vintage heavy powdery violet, that's all i get from this.
