The flagship of the clean scents movement

Glow is one of those scents that I like to wear when I have a craving for a nice, clean and pleasant scent that invokes straight out of the shower feeling. I wore this scent a lot when it came out in 2002 and I remember that it was so different from heavier oriental and floral scents I used to wear. Glow does smell soapy and clean but unlike other scents in this category, I do like its composition and structure. It invokes the feelings of a luxurious soap with nice layers of neroli, rose and sandalwood.

In the opening there is a bit of rubbing alcohol, which is not my favorite part but very soon Glow settles into a soapy neroli and citrus scent and then slowly transitions into a floral bouquet. I like roses and orange blossoms in the heart notes. Both compliment soapy notes quite well. The scent has a nice development arc and it lasts for hours. In the base notes, Glow transforms into a clean floral musk – still quite soapy. The longevity is 10+ hours and the sillage is strong too.

Overall score is 7/10. Glow is the queen of soapy scents, so I think it certainly deserves its honorable place among this category in my collection. I recommend it.

Glow - Jennifer Lopez

In a way, this perfume represents me coming full circle in my quest for scent. When this fragrance first came out I remember wanting to sniff it out so I went to the drugstore and did so. I liked the smell but didn't think a man should wear a ladies perfume so I didn't buy it. Instead, I bought the shower gel and enjoyed the pleasant, clean smell it left on my skin after my shower. Fast forward to the present. For the last few months I have been dabbling in ladies fragrances. I found myself bored with men's fragrances and after getting my feet wet with unisex scents, I decided to finally take the leap and start wearing perfume that is actually made for and targeted at women. At this point, there is no turning back. I have bought many bottles of ladies perfume and enjoy wearing a great deal of them. At 28, I lacked the self-assured confidence it took to pull off women's perfume. At 39, I don't care what anybody else thinks. I don't see fragrance as having a gender anymore. I wear what I like, regardless if the scent is marketed towards a man or a woman. Now that I finally own a bottle of Glow, I can say how enjoyable it is to wear. Catching whiffs of this while I have it on just makes me happy! It's such a "clean" smell and who doesn't like to smell clean?!?! Perfect for spritzing on after a nice, long shower! A casual scent that can be easily worn every day. Being the first fragrance by Jennifer Lopez, I also believe that it's her best. She has other good ones (and some not so good) but this one tops them all!!!

Soapy soap

I appreciate that Jennifer Lopez wanted this perfume to smell fresh and clean, but in my opinion perfume should be about creating something that is memorable and unlike anything else. If I wanted to smell like Glow, I would go and have a shower and use my $1 soap to recreate this scent. I don't understand why celebrities like to play it safe with their fragrances, go out there and make something crazy and unique!

I find Glow to be very light and soft on the skin. The lasting power is fairly average and the scent stays very close to the skin. If you're a fan of Jennifer Lopez I'd probably skip this perfume and try some of her other fragrances.

Washing-powder under the shower

What "White LInen" was in 1978 and in the 80's (crisp, fresh), "Glow" became in 2002 and still is: a fragrance which is ideal for people who love soapy, clean and synthetic scents which give you that "fresh-from-the-shower" feeling. White florals reign and the musks used remind me of washing-powder. As a result, this scent is decidedly more morning-at-the-office than late-night-party. I also think that it is powerful stuff, don't underrate "Glow". If you overapply, you'll end up smelling like a basket of fresh laundry. Well, I guess there is a place for such a scent in everybody's fragrance wardrobe, although I must confess that I won't repurchase once my bottle will be empty. Too sterile.

Accidental purchase

I bought this several years ago trying to purchase another bottle of glowing goddess. I didn’t realize it was a different fragrance and I couldn’t remember what I had bought before. As it turns out, this is nothing close to glowing goddess. I really don’t like this one much. It’s alright, but I would not repurchase it. I’ve only used this one a few times.
