Jennifer Lopez recently launched her 25th fragrance as a celebration of the promises she’s made to herself. Be part of the Promise movement as Jennifer invites us to make promises to ourselves and to keep them, to be better every day, no matter what stands in our way. This is a floral, woody fragrance with a bit of sweet notes in it. Here are the notes of the perfume:
Fragrance Notes:
Top – Italian tangerine, luscious pink berries, nashi pear
Middle – orris, jasmine sambac, dewy honeysuckle
Base – woods, crystallized amber
The bottle is gorgeous! It’s glass that has a multifaceted cut to it. The lid and Jennifer Lopez plaque are rose gold. Very elegant!
I also really love the scent. It’s sophisticated, but soft at the same time. I think it’s a really nice everyday scent or wear it for special occasions.
What do you think about this fragrance? Do you have any of Jennifer Lopez’s perfumes? What’s your favorite scent?

The original recipe combines softening marshmallow with nourishing shea butter and protective apricot oil, its formula with a floral rose and berries aroma works to provide lasting moisture and protection for lips!
Botanical Recipe of the Cloister Fresh Moisturizing Body Gel Cream
Le Couvent des Minimes Invigorating Body Splash, Verbena and Lemon ($44 USD) –This is a very fresh, lemony scent and is light enough to spray all over. It combines the invigorating properties of Lemon and Verbena with the firming qualities of prele to revitalize and tone the body. This is nice after a bath or shower.

The heart reveals a delicate pear flower, magnified by fig flower and fresh basil. The base notes of woods, cedar and soft musk give a feeling of serenity.
I think this is a fresh scent for autumn with the fruit and wood accords. It is perfect for those who don’t usually wear extreme floral scents!
