Colourful Summer scent

One thing I can honestly give Jennifer Lopez credit for, is being capable of creating some excellent fruity scents for Summer. I adore the original Live, and I find Live Luxe just as pleasing.

The scent itself is quite strong. It smells to me like shampoo, but in a good way. Like a tropical, fruity and somewhat clean blend of ingredients.

It's sweet, but not nauseatingly so. Thankfully the fruity notes don't turn sour with my skin chemistry, as some scents do. Peach and pear tend to be the notes that jump out at you, sometimes bearing a fizzy-like quality.

Live Luxe smells like 'fun in the sun'. I can picture myself wearing this on vacation or out dancing at a beach party. It's very lively and colourful, just like the bottle conveys.

It's not the most natural smelling concoction, nor is it terribly unique, but Live Luxe has something in it that you can't help liking. I would however steer clear of this fragrance if fruit is not your thing. The fruity notes are in abundance here, so you have been warned.

The lasting strength is fabulous. I spritzed Live Luxe on around midday, and by sundown this fragrance is still going strong. I don't have many bad things to say about this fragrance at all. As you can see, I am suitably impressed.

Heavy Detergents and Ham-Fisted Calone

Originally written July 3, 2012:

Generally, I don’t take issue with fruity frags—I have some in my collection and I adore them when the mood strikes. I do get frustrated with the genre when it seems an entire industry has run out of ideas, producing scents that seem all too familiar or too sloppy. Live Luxe falls in the ‘sloppy’ category for me, which is a shame since J.Lo fragrances tend to be of a higher caliber in the celebuscents market.

I rarely wear this one and I often forget I own it. I donned it this morning and now I am realizing why it remained unnoticed in my collection. It begins with juicy summer fruits, lending hope and promise of a refreshing warm weather scent. However, minutes later an unsweetened, unripened, and still green melon takes over in a big way. As the day wears on the melon becomes sour and more pronounced, annihilating the presence of any other fruity elements and reducing any florals to near-nothingness. It has been seven hours, and, though it is still going strong, I am left waiting for some kind of a base; the scent has since morphed into the mellowed last strains of a cantaloupe rind.

I can’t help feel like I was promised a summer fruit salad just to have it swapped out from under my nose (pun intended). Fine, take my fresh-cut fruit salad away but don’t replace it with melon rinds! It almost makes for a good spa scent except it’s too bombastic and bitter to induce any kind of calm. I like melon scents but this one completely misses the mark and seems too confused. Look to Bliss or The Body Shop’s Sprit of Moonflower (a great melon 'soliflor') for a far more superior spa scent.

Updated thoughts on August 18, 2023:

Honestly, I have not thought of this scent since I got rid of it. A few days ago I ducked into my local Ross and noticed a large bottle. The vague memory of this came back. I don't miss this.

This is the scent I think of when people say they hate calone or other melon-like fragrances from the 1990s and 2000s. I'd hate such scents, too, if this was my only exposure. But to be fair, Live Luxe isn't the abomination I set it out to be. It's just that there are far better calone offerings out there. There's something that stings the nostrils, something so unabashedly chemical that it's hard to push past it and enjoy Live Luxe for the simple pleasure it was meant to be.

@Missk is correct in her assessment: tropical, clean, fruity, shampoo-like. But I can't get past the harsh detergents and forced water-like melon element here.

Unfortunately, I can't make anything of it

I bought the scent blindly on eBay because I love "Still" by J.Lo so much and always hope that she has another hit like that.
But everything I have tested from her so far has been a flop.
"Love&Glamour"
"Deseo"
"My Glow"
"Glow" is still quite cool.
"Live Luxe," unfortunately not. At first, it smells a bit like disinfectant and stings the nose strongly.
Then the notes come through slightly; it is quite powdery and scratchy in the throat.
Fake laundry detergent peach next to pear and lily of the valley. It is a bit sweet, also soft and a bit foamy. But I can't really decide whether it's bath foam or dishwashing foam.
Vanilla and sandalwood are missing, which might have saved it into a nice standard scent.
Overall not good; fake/synthetic, prickly in the nose and scratchy in the throat.

floral fruity and very very sweet

When I bought the fragrance, I was in my "fruity" phase, with pear and melon being very prominent and coming across very dominantly. I was a bit tempted to buy it because of the pretty bottle. Unfortunately, I got tired of it very quickly. The scent does not change; it smells the same after application as it does after half an hour. It has a somewhat synthetic sweetness to it for my taste.

Looks good on the outside, but not on the inside...

... at least as a body scent. When sprayed, the first association is hand soap, dishwashing liquid, fabric softener, cleaning products. The fruity sweetness here is very synthetic. I would surely enjoy it while doing the dishes, but I don't need to smell like that myself. After 1 hour, it's only subtly and closely perceptible. Now it smells softer, silky, and creamy; the sweet fruit no longer seems artificial and cheap but harmonizes with the other notes. That's how I would like to wear it. Instead, I will spray it on my bed linens :)
