J.Lo Sunkissed Glow

J.Lo's Glow perfume was the surprise bestseller that sparked an avalanche of celebrity perfumes several years ago. Since then, Glow has had various flankers but none of them caught my fancy until Sunkissed Glow which is the flanker introduced for this summer.


It has top notes of ruby red grapefruit, pineapple juice, cassis sherbet; middle notes of peach flower, orange flower, waterlily, passion flower and base notes of sheer amber, cashmere wood and skin musk. I love the fruity top notes which are not too cloyingly sweet. The grapefruit note is the strongest to me, but it's not sharp or citrusy. The musk base also gives it an added warmth that lingers nicely on the skin. The fragrance lasted a good 4-5 hours on my skin. It also passed the boyfriend test with flying colors, as my boyfriend described it as 'sexy' :-) It's the kind of fragrance that puts you in a good mood, ready for a fun day out at the beach.

This is supposed to retail for 7140yen (S$108) in Japan but I got this for S$66 at Changi Airport duty-free. The new issue of Elle Singapore lists it at S$85. You can probably find it for cheaper at discount stores later in the year or on Ebay. The airport only had it in the 50ml size, which I doubt will last very long. I've used it twice with about 4-5 spritzes each time (I always spray my neck, chest, wrist and inner elbows) and already the liquid level in the bottom has fallen by about an inch .
