My latest obsession is perfume so I am going to start writing more about perfume and scents on this blog.
The first perfume to be reviewed is a Jennifer Lopez creation called Sunkissed Glow by J Lo. I am a completely lost when it comes to distinguishing between different notes and types of scents so this review is more what I like about the perfume and what I don't like.
Sunkissed Glow by J Lo is an Eau de Toilette and on the Jennifer Lopez Beauty site Sunkissed Glow is described as a "Fresh Fruity Floral" and "it will caress your skin like a tropical breeze on a steamy sun drenched beach".
I did have a hard time finding the perfume notes for this Eau de Toilette but I finally came across these ones at osMoz.com:
Top notes: Ruby Red Grapefruit, Pineapple Juice, Cassis Sorbet
Middle notes: Beach Flower, Orange Flower, Water Lily, Passion Flower
Base notes: Sheer Amber, Hot Sand, Cashmere Wood, Skin Musk
I have mixed emotions about this perfume. After I have first sprayed this I feel the fruits and the flowers mixed together and it is just too much for me. It is sweet and fruity but at the same time powdery from the floral notes. When the fruity top notes disappear Sunkissed Glow turns into a warm and powdery scent and it is at this stage I start to really enjoy this fragrance. It reminds me of its name Sunkissed and the scent is like your skin has been warmed up by a warm summer sun.
I don't feel that this is a tropical breeze though and I think it is because I associate the word tropical with coconut. I don't feel that the pineapple and grapefruit is enough and I would like to feel some coconut amongst the perfume notes to make this a tropical scent.
This isn't a very strong scent but a more close to your body kind of scent, which makes it very wearable. On me the top notes doesn't last very long but the base notes stay put during most of the day. For me this is a good thing since I am not too fond of the fruitiness.
To summarize this review:
If you want to buy a perfume that you can wear in the summer and that is fruity and tropical but you can't stand the scent of coconut this Eau de Toilette might be for you. I personally like a tropical perfume to have some coconut it it,and be a little suntan lotionesque, if that's a word.
I received this fragrance as a sample with a magazine that I bought and this is my own opinion.
