JLO Sunkissed Glow – A Review

Jennifer Lopez is known for many things. She’s a celebrity, singer, dancer, actress, mother, wife, and triathlete. Her fragrance JLO Glow came out at a time when I was feeling rather over the whole Jennifer Lopez phenomena and I never took the time to try it.

Later, I got over myself, and remembered exactly why I enjoyed Jennifer Lopez in the first place – I love to watch her dance.  I counted myself a fan again. I totally forgot about the Glow. I got something in my email about her new Sunkissed Glow last week and I knew that I definitely wanted to try it. I had heard that Glow was one of the better celebrity scents, so this spin on Glow intrigued me.

It arrived and I called my girls out to take a look at it. We love the bottle which is a hazy, soft combo of sherbet-y colors – starts with a coppery-peach, then fades to gold, and then green. There’s a little charm attached to the bottle- it reminds me of an anklet. It’s a braided cord with a faux beach shell. Nice touch.

The fragrance is called a Fruity-Floral and I thought, oh heck, not another citrus. I used to love it, but citrus seems like it’s over-done these days. Sunkissed Glow is not a citrus. It’s warmer, sweeter, but not too sweet. The scent starts out very pineapple-y with a sort of peach edge to it. Then it mellows to something that smells melon, wood, and musk. It smells great to me. I really, really like this one and I’ve been wearing it every day since it arrived. The funny thing is that it has no peach or melon notes.
