I’m such a perfume fiend, I love to try anything new that’s doing the rounds, so this was no different. I’d first seen this advertised on the TV, and to be honest I didn’t really given it a second glance, because I remembered how much I hated J Lo Glow, the original. Anyway, a few days after the perfume was first released, I found myself wandering along the perfume counter in Boots, my boyfriend had just spent £60 on a pair of jean, on the credit card, so I decided I deserved a treat to. I had a sniff of various bottles, but came back to Jo Lo Miami Glow.
I purchased the 50ml bottle, which cost me £29. It’s available in sizes, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml. There are also various body lotions and shower gel available in the range too.
The perfume is available on www.cheapsmells.com for £24.75 for 50ml, which is slightly cheaper than I paid.
When I purchased my bottle of perfume, there was an offer of a free bracelet available. The bracelet is quite child-like with bright colours and a nasty gold coloured pair of flip-flops as a small charm. The bracelet wasn’t very appealing. Since I bought my bottle, I have seen the perfume with a different free gift, this time a pretty diamante bracelet, typical!
The perfume comes in brightly coloured box. There are swirls of oranges and yellows and contrasting gold. There’s also a palm tree on the front of the box. The bottle itself is made from glass. It’s the same style as the original J Lo Glow perfume. It’s about 6 inches in height, and at its widest point it’s almost 2 inches wide. The bottle tapers towards the top, and is very narrow. I discovered that after using it a few times, I’d used almost the full neck of the bottle. So obviously there isn’t that much in the top of the bottle. The bottle has an amber tint to it, which makes it look sun kissed. The lid is a dark metallic gold colour with the name of the perfume written across in yellow. Overall the packing and bottle is quite nice, it’s girly and pretty and would look lovely on anyone’s dressing table.
The perfume has strong notes of passion fruit, coconut milk, blackcurrant, orange flower, heliotrope (!), sun-baked sand, amber, vanilla orchid and musk. The scents of passion fruit and coconut are very apparent when you spray the perfume. It has a strong fruit smell, and reminds me of beach holidays, and tropical sun tan lotion on hot summer days. It’s very fruity but also musky the smell. As soon as you’ve sprayed the perfume thoughts of summer flood your head. You definitely don’t need a lot of this when you use it. Less is definitely more with this perfume. If you spray too much it’ll end up choking you. It’s a very strong perfume, which lasts all day, so you don’t need to spay too much. I would say two or three quirts at most, otherwise you’ll stink everybody out.
The perfume reminds me of some of the Escada perfumes that are available to buy. The packaging and the fruity scent, definitely remind me of Escada products.
I would recommend this perfume for the younger woman, it think it might be a bit too fruity and strong for the more mature woman. I’m 20, and I would say that it’s very suitable for me and anyone around my age.
As I mentioned, the perfume lasts extremely well and there’s no need to reapply throughout the day. I’ve had my bottle of perfume for about 4 months and I have just less than half left. It lasts reasonably well, because you don’t need to use a lot when you spray it.
I’ve had various compliments when wearing this perfume, so it’s obviously quite pleasant on the nostrils!!
Thanks for the Read
