Enduring Glow by Jennifer Lopez / Glow by JLo sample review

 

I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it comes to ‘celebrity’ fragrances. I often think of them as just a ‘money spinner’, not sophisticated or without the ‘skill’ of a perfumer. However, when it comes to Jennifer Lopez and her perfume brand, nothing could be further from the truth. Like the perfectionist she is, and the success that she has in her singing and acting career, it’s without surprise that her perfume range is also such a huge success. Today I’ve been testing 2 of her fragrances. 

Enduring Glow Eau de Parfum by Jennifer Lopez 100ml £43

Enduring Glow is sophistication in a bottle. It’s invigorating, light and fruity. It’s enticing and one of those fragrances where you just want to keep smelling your wrist. A little sprayed on the neck, gives just the right amount of seduction, it’s not heavy and so you feel drawn towards the wearer. Notes include:-

• Top Notes - Italian Bergamot, Pear and Lychee - fruity, light and edgy.
• Middle Notes - Magnolia, Pink Peony and Violet - lightly sweet, nurturing and powdery. 
• Base Notes - Sheer Musk, White Amber and Sandalwood - sensual, warm and woody.

The sleek chrome bottle oozes glamour and sophistication. The refined, minimalist shape would look as good on a dressing table, as it would as a piece of minimalist art on a shelf. It’s a feminine fragrance that has a little mystery to it, making it very appealing. 

Glow Eau de Toilette by JLo 100ml £42

Glow by JLo is the best selling fragrance of her fragrance wardrobe. This is the Eau de Toilette and it’s her iconic fragrance that is the signature scent for the Glow range. I think there’s a clue to the edgier vibe this has over the Enduring Glow, simply as she signs it off JLo rather than Jennifer Lopez. It’s more of a classical scent, which is mirrored by the notes that pair well together, see below:-

• Top Notes - Neroli, Orange Blossom and Pink Grapefruit - fruity, citrusy and vibrant.
• Middle Notes - Rose, Sandalwood and Amber - delicate, woody and seductive. 
• Base Notes - Musk, Jasmine, Orris and Vanilla - comforting, velvety and musky. 

The bottle is glamourous, eye catching and sparkles with the ‘JLo Diamanté chain’ that elegantly drapes over the bottle. It is a bottle to show off, it’s not one to be hidden, much like the fragrance itself. 

Both scents are ideal for day and night and, quite easy to gift for Christmas as neither are overtly heady. The mixture of the accords, make this a versatile scent and suitable for anyone from young adult to mature.  You can purchase from Superdrug or The Perfume Shop or by clicking the link HERE
