22 Best Smelling Perfumes for Teenage Girls

For this post, I want to delve into our choice list of the top fragrances for teenage girls. I am updating this post here in 2023, as it had been seven years since the original publication, and it desperately needed refreshing.

I have added many new choices and expanded on original selections for young women.

These scents are a mix of different price points (including some nice smelling cheapies) and they are all versatile in their uses. Meaning, they can be worn in class for high school, out socially, or to formal events. Also, be sure to check out my full list of the best fragrances for teen boys.


Top Fragrances for Teen Girls 2023

Light, Sweet, and Powdery

Alien Goddess– Alien Goddess is a perfume that has become ever more popular over the past year and one that I found to be both versatile and enjoyable.

It opens up with a yummy coconut water note which is paired with a light and bright bergamot citrus. Add to that, a creamy vanilla note and jasmine, which when combined gives it a sunny lotion-like aroma. Not too heavy with the lotion vibe, but it’s there.

Jasmine and heliotrope will emerge as the dominant floral notes, as the coconut and vanilla will play the background. This lets Alien Goddess take on a more powdery finish. Yet, the jasmine remains the dominant note versus the heliotrope.

This one is easy to wear, not too heavy, and isn’t going to take over a room with normal amounts of spraying. Alien Goddess Review


Billie Sweet

Eilish EDP– Eilish EDP is an interesting gourmand fragrance. It has the usual celebrity perfume sweetness, like most first offerings when they launch a scent. But, it has a uniqueness to it, that keeps it distinct from the rest.

Eilish opens up with a mandarin and red berry mix. It doesn’t have a chance to go full fruity with its aroma, as other notes come in to create something that smells closer to baked goods.

Cinnamon, powdery cocoa, creamy vanilla, sugar, and amber. It’s spicy, warm, sweet fruity, all wrapped into one. 

Beyond that, what came across as interesting is the cool, minty/menthol, sort of greenish note that came through. Maybe, geranium?

Either way, this was a nice perfume for the younger set. Not anything unbelievable, but very enjoyable, popular, and age appropriate. Eilish Review

Luxury Fragrance Pick

Chanel Chance Tendre Eau de Toilette Spray For Women 1.7 OZ./ 50 ml.– Bright, fresh, and girly. Eau Tendre has a citrus base of grapefruit to go along with sweet floral notes. This is probably the most popular of the Chance flanker fragrances by Chanel.

It’s mostly a floral fragrance that is highlighted by citrus notes to give it more balance. Iris, jasmine, and hyancith are a part of the floral bouquet.

Chance Eau Tendre is a much lighter fragrance than many other options on the list, but that light airy aroma, doesn’t mean that it lacks staying power. It’s just not a heavy bomb, but one that is a great option for everyday wear.

It is still very crisp, due to the citrus top notes, but it doesn’t have that usual sharpness that grapefruit can cause. Eau Tendre is very smooth with a dry down period that can be somewhat powdery (iris) and with a healthy dose of musk.

Again, it’s not a heavy fragrance, so the musk isn’t going to be an unbearable mess. 


Sugary Fruits and Vanilla

Beyond Romance from Ralph Lauren– Beyond Romance took a nice enough formula from Midnight Romance and the others in the series, and made it even better.

This one starts out with raspberry, mandarin orange, and bergamot. It will be joined by marshmallow (at least that’s what it smells like) and vanilla notes. 

The dry down will be focused on the raspberry and vanilla notes. It’s sugary and sometimes powdery with an underlying support of musk and cashmere wood. Very balanced with a good enough performance for most purposes. Beyond Romance Review


Girl of Now

Girl of Now Forever– The original Girl of Now from Elie Saab, uses nutty notes, Girl of Now Forever gives you a fruitier take on the name.

Black currant, raspberry, and citrus. The almond note is still there, but doesn’t play quite the same large role here, at least later on. The sweet and tart blend is energetic and also quite attractive, once you get past the opening (not a huge fan of that part, personally).

These notes are flanked by light floral notes of rose and orange blossom, which the orange blossom even less prevalent than the almond.

What you get is a fun juicy fruit/rose fragrance with hints of vanilla and almond, with a muskiness in the dry down. Solid performance. Great for the spring and summer months, but not an immature or super sugary mess. 


Easy to Love Vanilla

Goddess by Burberry– Another perfume, where I don’t think the name quite fits, the actual smell itself. Nonetheless, Burberry’s Goddess is a newer scent that has gained a lot of popularity over the past year.

A lot of the wear, it going to be about the mix of lavender and vanilla. Creamy vanilla, in the dry down phase, and the lavender gets held in check. So, this won’t be a completely ‘girly’ sugar-laden scent. Sweet, just not tooth-ache sweet.

Early on, a fresh ginger spice and coolness comes through, along with a light cacao note. Adding a touch of bittersweet to the aroma.

A pretty simple affair, when all said and done. Yet, it’s a fragrance with a lot of versatility and isn’t just relegated to use by teenagers. If enjoyed, it could become a signature wear for years. Burberry Goddess Review


Terrific All Around Wear

I Love Love Cheap and Chic by Moschino for Women 3.4 oz Eau de Toilette Spray– Dolce & Gabbana have a best seller with Light Blue that gets a lot of attention. Moschino has I Love Love, which smells similar, is cheaper, and actually smells better.

It features a bright and upbeat citrus opening with lemon, grapefruit, and orange. The latter note is the most prevalent. Very juicy with a bit of sweetness to tamper down the sharper qualities of the citrus. 

The middle stage will bring out lily of the valley, cinnamon, and musk. All sitting on top of a woody base. At this price point, I Love Love is a steal. This one delivers a nice performance and is plenty versatile when it can be worn. I Love Love Review


Coach Floral Simplicity

Coach Dreams 1.3oz Eau de Parfum Spray– Coach Dreams is one of the newer releases from the luggage and fashion label. This one is geared towards younger women, and while not amazing, does provide a unique floral scent that is easy to wear.

Coach Dreams starts with its fruity notes (bitter orange, mostly) out completely. Though, underneath this is greenish desert notes, such as cactus flower and Joshua tree.

But, what it ultimately turns into is a gardenia-led floral perfume. Very interesting use of desert notes to create a sort of open road vibe.

It is pretty simple, but has plenty of uses within that. It starts fruity/floral and moves into being a white floral perfume with dewy and greenish elements. Coach Dreams Full Review


Britney Spears Fragrance

VIP Private Show by Britney Spears– This was a flanker release to the original Private Show by Britney, but is a completely different scent. While the original was more of a winter scent, this one trades that in for a playful and fruity fragrance.

It starts off with a blend of apple, raspberry, and blood orange with just a dash of mango.

It’s sweet and those fruit notes are going to be the main attraction. Yes, there is a bit of violet and some amber and musk. However, they’re not too prominent within the composition.

So, while the perfume is pretty linear in how it develops, it still smells really great at this price point (under $30). Not only that, the sillage is good, and this stuff will last a full day with no problem. A delicious gourmand with a sugary almost bubble gum undertone.

This is just one selection from Britney’s line I enjoy. Here’s the whole list of her best: Britney Spears top perfumes


Floral with some Fruitiness

By Kilian – Good Girl Gone Bad Eau de Parfum – Travel Spray– This Kilian fragrance is one the higher end of the price range, but is a beautiful floral scent. Osmanthus and rose, lead the way, as it moves into becoming more of a bouquet with some great softer amber.

The fruitiness in the open is from the apricot note and a less prevalent apple. With the white floral notes and fruits, this does have that clean shampoo sort of aroma.

The name on this one, totally doesn’t fit what it actually is. It’s much more of a ‘good girl’ and I’m not sure what that ‘bad’ aspect is other than marketing. So, don’t expect anything too wild here.

Tuberose and orange blossom have their moments, while the strongest of the floral notes towards the end will be the jasmine. The apricot note hangs around for the duration. You get a sweet, easy to wear floral, that’s actually appropriate for younger women or older. Good Girl Gone Bad Review


The Top Miss Dior Perfume

Christian Dior Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming Women’s Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce– The best of the Miss Dior line, in my opinion. It starts off with raspberry and pomegranate which is paired with musk. It is very bright, sweet, and the berry notes are quite juicy.

Those fruit notes are also joined by black currant, before the floral notes come out, led by peony and rose. It has a very good performance, will last over 10 hours, but go light on the sprayer because it can be pretty strong.

A great blend of fruits and floral notes with a distinct spring/summer vibe. Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming Review


Floral-Fruity-Sporty

Ralph by Ralph Lauren for Women, Eau De Toilette Natural Spray, 3.4 Ounce– Ralph is another very popular fragrance, that has a youthful enough style, while still managing to be fresh and sophisticated.

It is a floral-fruity fragrance, where you get apple and mandarin juiciness to offset the floral notes and preventing them from dominating the mix. 

It has a fair amount of sweetness with a crisp finish. Not processed sugary sweet, just  naturalistic and fruity. This Ralph Lauren perfume is a bit sporty with a great ability to venture into the warmest months of the year. 

Not one that is super complicated, but it really doesn’t need to be since it smells so good.

Raspberry Luck

Lady Million Lucky– Much like the men’s version of this scent, 1 Million Lucky, the women’s perfume is actually a nice option for the younger set.

This one doesn’t have that same tart plum note and instead goes with a blend of raspberry, mandarin, honey, and hazelnut. It’s nice, sweet, and juicy for a lot of the wear.

The background is fresh and woody. The hazelnut combines with sandalwood and cashmere wood. What honey note there is, isn’t too much of a factor.  You do get a nice Damask rose, with a pinkish smell that pairs nicely with that raspberry. That’s mainly in the dry down.

A rather simple perfume, but one that is attractive fun and usually not too high priced. 


90s Classic

Calvin Klein Women’s CK One Eau de Toilette Pour/Spray, 6.7 fl. oz.
A clean, fresh, and energetic unisex fragrance. CK One is a classic scent which has enjoyed popularity for many years and is still going strong today.

It opens with a really bright and upbeat citrus accord, with a clean shower fresh kind of dry down, with added musk. The citrus is initially joined by cardamom and a slight green tea note.

The pineapple, lemon, and other fruits remain in control for most of the wear. Then, cedar and musk, create a fresh base that is quite memorable.

This is a safe everyday kind of wear, that can go year round, no problem. Notes include: papaya, pineapple and jasmine, green tea and amber.  Top Calvin Klein Perfumes

Clean Citrus, Woody

Gucci Bamboo Eau De Parfum Spray for Women, 2.5 Ounce– Bamboo opens up with the citrus freshness of bergamot, before the floral notes come in, and blend with light woods. It’s a lovely option for daily wear, as the lily and orange blossom notes, don’t get overbearing.

Gucci Bamboo surrounds the wearer with a delicate and clean aura, with a somewhat sweet undertow. Has a subtle dewiness at times.

This is a floral for those who don’t want a huge sillage bomb, but want to smell plenty attractive, when others get close by. Nice sandalwood and floral creaminess, during the dry down.


Great Daily Wear from Burberry

BURBERRY Brit for Women Eau de Parfum, 3.3 fl. oz
Burberry Brit is subtle and clean. Plus, it’s been a best seller for a long while now. The fruity and floral notes come together nicely for an understated perfume which is great for everyday use.

The EDP version, starts off with a citrus blast of lime, before the vanilla and almond come in to settle things down.

The pear note is joined by peony to flank the main heart of vanilla and almond. Very pleasant and a great choice for daytime wear, mostly in colder to more moderate temperatures. Notes include: almonds, limes and pears, with soft florals and vanilla. Top Burberry Scents

Fruity Sweet Angel

Thierry Mugler Angel Muse Eau de Parfum- I’m replacing the limited edition Angel fragrance I featured last update and replacing it with the equally fantastic Angel Muse. (Note: If you want a fruitier version go with Angel Nova).

Angel Muse features grapefruit, hazelnut cream, and patchouli up top. It’s warm, a bit earthy, while also being deliciously sweet. The creaminess really sells Muse and it’s no wonder how this Mugler perfume became popular. 

It becomes dry and woodsy in the base, with vetiver and wood. There is a further hint of spice provided by the pink pepper, but it’s overall sweet. Very good performance and isn’t just relegated to being a teenager’s perfume, it can become a signature scent.


 

Perpetual Best Seller

Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette Spray for Women, 3 Ounce– It’s pretty hard to go wrong with Bright Crystal by Versace. It’s been a staple with younger women for a long time now.

The pomegranate and yuzu opening is delightful and delicious, giving Bright Crystal a juicy a tart start to the blend. Then, you dive into the floral heart of peony and magnolia, all the while this Versace has a distinct semi-aquatic aroma in the background.

Peony, yuzu, and woods round things out. Bright Crystal doesn’t have a heavy sillage, it’s actually a light to moderate projection. Yet, I’ve gotten it to last between 8-10 hours, on my skin during testing. Still a favorite on the ladies’ side. Bright Crystal Review


The Dolce Empress

D&g 3 L’imperatrice Ladies – Edt Spray 3.3 oz– Here’s an entry from Dolce & Gabbana that has been a top pick for a long time. L’Imperatrice gives you a sweet and fresh mix of fruits and floral notes. A nice one for daily wear, that’s not too formal, but still beautiful.

L’Imperatrice 3 has a semi-aquatic feel to it since it has its of watermelon and kiwi notes. That is mainly contained for the first hour or two. It’s a streamlined formulation that is very attractive and stylish.

These two are also joined by rhubarb, which gives this D&G fragrance, a distinct quality. It’s youthful, bright, and has some underlying floral/musk to give L’Imperatrice some needed depth. Notes include: kiwi, watermelon, musk, pink cyclamen.

3 l'imperatrice


Best Scent from Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy Eau de Parfum, 3.4 Ounce– Her line of perfumes have become extremely popular over the past few years and this is the best of them. It’s a close call, (here are the other options), but Sweet Like Candy gets the nod for me.

Vanilla, blackberry, whipped cream, and of course, marshmallow pull together to form a warm and youthful candy-like aroma. It opens up with the pear and juicy berry creating an attractive and juicy aroma.

However, this one begins to shift more to a creamy, sweet, and familiar scent. Lots of whipped cream with a vanilla touch and a great marshmallow addition. Very soft, girly, and sits beautifully in the colder weather.


Inexpensive Throwback…That Still Works

Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette Spray for Women, 3.4 Fluid Ounce
A warm, energetic, and a perfume that exudes youth. This is now a classic scent by Tommy Hilfiger that is perfect for the younger lady.

Tommy Girl is super fresh with a citrus top and white floral notes including honeysuckle and magnolia, coming in later.

For such a light and summery scent, this one has a surprising complexity and layers to it. What’s great about it (beyond the aroma), is how affordable it is, and how well it performs. From the 1990s, but still as dynamic as ever.

tommy girl


C’est Parfait Strawberry

Marc Jacobs Perfect Women 3.3 oz EDP Spray– Perfect is a newer and popular scent from the Marc Jacobs lineup. The opening is a great mix of strawberry and rhubarb notes, which gives it an opening fruitiness that plays off a greener scent from the base.

That start is more of a sweet-tart style of perfume, which transitions to daffodil and almond milk. By the middle, the opening fades to the background and daffodil, musk, cashmeran will take this one over.

It’s balanced, clean, with woodier touches. The performance is solid with 7-8 hours of wear. Perfect provides a well rounded and even more mature profile, while still being upbeat and appropriate for the younger demographic. Perfect Review

6 Best Smelling Antonio Banderas Colognes

I haven’t covered a ton of celebrity fragrances on this site, at least not in a while, but I figured that I should give some more attention to these popular scents that are usually in the more affordable range versus the high end designers.

Antonio Banderas has actually established himself over the past 20 years or so in this niche, whereas, many other actors will put out one fragrance…Antonio has released dozens. For this post, I wanted to select six from his line which could be considered his best colognes, that he’s released so far.


What are the Best Smelling Colognes by Antonio Banderas?

A Familiar Scent

Antonio Banderas The Golden Secret for Men Eau de Toilette Spray, 6.75 Ounce– There is a distinct similarity between The Golden Secret and 1 Million by Paco Rabannebeyond the bottles looking closely related, they also share many of the same notes.

The Golden Secret is like a more subdued version of 1 Million, with slight differences that become noticeable, once you have worn both colognes. The apple note really separates the two for me. In the Paco Rabanne, it is more about the orange note. Also, 1 Million has more of a warmth and spice versus this one.

Even though it is toned down, the Golden Secret still has good performance when compared to many others in this line. 5-7 hours of wear, is probably what to expect, and that’s pretty excellent when you dip into the cheaper fragrances.


Clean Green Classic

Antonio Banderas EDT Spray for Men, Mediterraneo, 6.75 Ounce– Not sure if this is still in production or not (it sells on Amazon, at least), but Mediterraneo is a simple, masculine fragrance with citrus aromas combined with a slightly spicy mix of ginger and pepper. Good late spring/summer scent.

The dry down period, loses much of the citrus notes, and it is much more of a woody or green-ish type of cologne (vetiver coming through). Quite a bit different than many of the others on the list.

The fresh spices are really nice in Mediterraneo and pretty much make this scent go. The performance is actually solid, for something in this price range.


An Iconic Freshness

The Icon EDP– Icon EDP is probably the best of the Icon series thus far. It’s a fragrance with a fresh start, that will settle into a smooth amber-suede dry down period, and works well as a daily wear option.
Juniper, cypress, black pepper are going to give you a mix of punchy spice and woods up top. This, along with a grapefruit citrus up top make for a bold introduction.
Yet, we still get to the smoother parts of the wear. Very clean and attractive, with a slight creamy undertone, at times. Calming lavender and suede take over for the more aggressive aromas of The Icon.
This is a very versatile fragrance that really doesn’t feel out of place, saving maybe, the hottest days of the year.

Most Popular

Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction for Men Eau De Toilette Spray, 6.75 Ounce An excellent summertime blend of sweet fruit and aquatic notes. It smells vaguely familiar to some other colognes out on the market but still a bit different and at an attractive price point.

A great choice if you enjoy the aquatic/marine type of scent. The melon note here is absolutely great, I think what does make this one distinct from those that it somewhat resembles, is the mint note. Adds a great layer of fresh crispness, on top of the aquatic base.

The opening is a blend of the citrus and melon, but the melon wins out during the rest of the wear. Performance isn’t great, but it can be serviceable. Great smell, though. This is one of the better inexpensive men’s perfumes, as with others on the list. But, this is one I like.


Fruity and Easy to Wear

Antonio Banderas King of Seduction Men Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4 Ounce– Has some similarities with Blue Seduction, Invictus, and a hint of Aventus by Creed. Another summer scent with a vetiver and cedar base to prevent it from going too far into the aquatic category.

The scent itself smells like a batch of fruits, mainly citrus with pineapple. It is quite juicy and attractive. This is one that you will probably have to overspray, as it’s not really a powerhouse, but you can get some decent amount of wear time with it.

Not particularly unique or original, but it can absolutely be a good pick up.


Most Unique/Under the Radar

The Secret Temptation– This is a low key winner in the realm of affordable fragrances for guys. Now, it’s kind of soft in how it projects, but it does have pretty nice longevity and smells really good.

You might have to experiment and double the sprays to give it an extra boost but the pleasing cardamom, vanilla, bergamot, and pink pepper give The Secret Temptation a very solid formula.

This is kind of an interesting scent, as it feels familiar, but I cannot think of anything that smells quite the same. Cardamom and pink pepper give it a wonderful warmth throughout that is only smoothed out by a nice vanilla. Then, there is the base vetiver note, tying it all together.

5 Best Smelling Beyonce Perfumes

Beyonce has established herself over the years as a mega pop star in music, and over the past several years, her line of fragrances have enjoyed immense popularity also. For this list, I have chosen five perfumes by Beyonce, which I feel are the best of her line of ladies’ fragrances. Each of these scents, is obviously very affordable, and I’ve tried to select something for every taste while sticking to the best of the product line. Also see: Britney Spears top perfumes, Rihanna


What are the Best Perfumes by Beyonce?

Note: This older line of fragrances has had a new addition in some years. However, Beyonce is introducing a newer high-end perfume here in 2023. Rihanna went a similar route with her line of perfumes, when she released Fenty. So, I’ll update the list again, if the newer ones are worthwhile. Until then, this is the best of the more affordable lineup. 

Best Overall Scent

Beyonce Beyonce Midnight Heat Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce
A sensual and seductive fragrance, which I feel is the best of the lot, though others are quite close quality. Midnight Heat is a fresh blend of fruits and florals that will set the tone wherever you go. You get a deep and dark plum note, with the starfruit giving the composition a unique edge.

It definitely has a full complement of a tropical set of fruits and flower notes. Juicy and captivating, with a sweet creaminess, that begins to come through shortly after the opening minutes. The plum really shines in this one.

Then, patchouli spice, and the usual Beyonce orchid set in the background. Really attractive and interesting. Notes include: Starfruit, plum, patchouli, and sandalwood.  Also check out, Sexiest Perfumes for Women

Top Summertime Pick

Beyonce Pulse Eau De Parfum Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce
A really nice everyday wear that projects confidence and energy. Pulse is one that will draw plenty of complements and won’t quit on you after a few hours like some fragrances. It has a sparkling and a bit of a colder side to it, before warming up later in the wear.

This one goes harder on the citrus notes and switches it up, with curacao as a main note to go with those fruits. You also get a creamy vanilla, which comes along in the dry down. The pear and citrus really combine to give it that bright and upbeat vibe.

It is fairly straightforward as a perfume, but delivers quite an enjoyable experience. Notes include: mandarin, pear, ginger orchid, orange blossom.

Most Popular Perfume

Beyonce Heat By Beyonce For Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4-Ounce / 100 Ml
Warm, feminine, and elegant. Beyonce Heat is a delicious daytime fragrance for ladies which blends exotic fruit and floral notes.

Notes include: sequoia milkwood, almond macaroon, blush peach, magnolia, tonka bean, neroli, amber, creme de musk, red vanilla orchid, honeysuckle nectar. 

The Heat series, is among the best that the Beyonce lineup has to offer. This is probably the most well-known of any of her releases. Sweet with a creaminess and fruity touches.

Almond, amber, peach, and nectar give you a sense of its overall warmth. Kind of distinct fragrance, from the others on the list, which have more of a juicy fruit personality.

heat


Best Fruity Fragrance

Beyonce Heat Rush for Women Eau De Toilette Spray, 3.4 Ounce– A very fruit wear, that is led by passion fruit, cherry, and orange. It all comes together as juicy and sweet.

It’s a good alternative for those who don’t like Pulse. I think that one is the better scent overall, more complex, but Heat Rush is also enjoyable.

Heat Rush taps into that exotic/tropical fruit part of the fragrance spectrum, but the background floral notes of hibiscus and orchid, really help bring things together.

This is a solid option for summertime wear, it has a playful attractiveness, without being overly loud or distracting. Heat Rush is a much more sheer and less of a creamy amber sort of scent, when compared to the original Heat.

Tropical, fun, and has a really good energy to it. Not super complex, but I think the blood orange note, is a nice touch. I just liked the energy and dynamic fruity aroma.


Nice Woody Scent

Beyonce Rise Eau De Parfums Spray for Women, 3.4 Ounce Rise opens up with a sweet apricot top note, which is joined by orchid and jasmine floral ingredients. The fragrance is lighter and stays close to the skin, with a musky and woody dry down, that includes cashmere wood.

It’s is a warm, slightly spicy, and powdery in the latter stages but a real change of pace, from others on the list. The apricot is great, but this one is low key, and one that is going to give you more of a traditional type of woody/musk finish…which not everyone enjoys.

Nonetheless, I appreciate its uniqueness versus the other options in this line, and think that it’s a good deal at this price point. It’s at least, a cozy and versatile wear, that one can get plenty of use out of.

7 Best Smelling Perfumes by Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has been a major star over the past two decades or so in both music and movies. While she has enjoyed massive success in these areas, J-Lo has also managed to break into the world of fashion as well. One of her greatest business successes, has been her line of women’s fragrances that have been immensely popular for well over ten years now. Quite simply, she and her partners put out great smelling perfumes at very affordable prices, which is usually a winning formula.

For this post, I have selected seven of these scents from Jennifer Lopez which I consider to be the best of the bunch. I have linked each one to its page on Amazon for more information, reviews, and ease of purchase.

It becomes warmer and more well-rounded, as it moves along.  Notes include: Orange, Sicilian Lemon, Redcurrant, Violet, Peony, Tonka Bean, Caramel, Sandalwood, Pineapple.

Instead you get, lily of the valley, pepper, and tea. It creates a citrus tea-like aroma, at least for some period of time. Still is mild, clean, and green with enough peppery edge to keep things interesting.

The floral notes, really come through, once it has settled in. Notes include: Orange Blossoms, roses, jasmine.

Best Selling/Most Popular

Glow By Jennifer Lopez Eau-de-toilette Spray, 3.4 Ounce– A subtle and clean blend of fruit, musk, and florals. Glow is a good everyday wearer for women who want to smell good, but don’t want to be overbearing about it.

Glow opens up with grapefruit and orange blossom, leading the way. As it moves along, it takes on more of a soapy clean character, as you get plenty of neroli and musk.

Then, the final dry down, features rose and jasmine pairing up with the musk and amber. Simple and easy to wear.  Notes include: Amber, vanilla, fruits, and floral.

Promises Kept

Promise by Jennifer Lopez– Tangerine, jasmine, and sandalwood are some of the highlights of Promise. This isn’t an overly complex perfume, but it is one of the better recent releases from this line.

Pear and honeysuckle join the citrus up top for a fruity and sweet start. It’s got a sort of berry vibe at times, when those three are combined. Delicious and inviting.

Pink pepper spice dots that opening act, as it will move into more of a woody floral fragrance. Cashmere, sandalwood, jasmine, and orris root. These notes give this a creaminess, freshness, and pairs nicely with those sweeter top notes.

Promise while having warmth, some creaminess, and sweetness isn’t a heavy or cloying scent. It can work well in the spring and even on some summer days, also. Though, probably best at more moderate temperatures.

Easy, safe, and a very attractive fragrance.

 

 


Best Summer Fragrance

JLO Blue Glow by Jennifer Lopez EDT 3.4 oz Spray for Women– Blue Glow is more of an aquatic perfume that is blended with floral and a few woodsy notes. Blue Glow is a subtle perfume yet rich in its aroma and presentation.

The aquatic aspect here, is a clean watery smell, and not an oceanic salty/seaweed aroma. The woods and orange/mangosteen sit underneath the aquatic accord. It’s sweeter and sort of fruity early on. Later, it rose with a water lily blend with some touches of vanilla and the tonka bean.

Not super complex, but one that is enjoyable for such an inexpensive perfume.

Notes include: vintage rose, Valencia orange, redcurrant blossom, cedar, tonka bean, shimmering water accord, mangosteen, mahogany wood, floral note, water lily, vanilla orchid.

Energetic Peach and Pear

Live Luxe By Jennifer Lopez For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4 OZ– Probably the most underrated and possibly one of the best perfumes (depending on your taste) by Jennifer Lopez. It is a fruity scent with a juicy and clean pairing of the lead peach and pear notes.

A warm and casual fragrance that is complex and energetic and will never be confused with ‘old lady’ perfume. Great stuff.

The heart of the fragrance features a light floral blend with honeysuckle and a bit of a watery freesia. The pear and that freesia gives Live Luxe an aquatic-like undertone, not marine or salty, but a watery sweet juiciness.

Notes include: Peach, Juicy Pear, Muguet Petals, Soft Amber, Diamond Musk, Amethyst Freesia. 

live luxe


Clean Floral/Fruity

Enduring Glow by Jennifer Lopez 3 Piece Gift Set – Eau de parfum Enduring Glow is one of the few fragrances that has been released by this line over the past few years. However, it is for sure among the best.

Enduring Glow kicks off with an immediate warm weather kind of vibe. Fruity in the early stages, but becomes more of a clean floral fragrance as it dries down. Yes, it does somewhat smell similar to Chloe EDP, thanks to: magnolia, litchi, and peony. However, this J-Lo scent doesn’t have a rose note.

That opening is bright and zesty, with a sparkle provided by the pear note. Later, the peony comes in fairly strong, and Enduring Glow has more of a fresh soapy feel.

 

Eilish by Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish launched her perfume line with Eilish EDP back in 2021. I recently picked up some samples to try it out finally, and do a full review for the site. I didn’t know anything about it coming in, so I was pretty curious to see what it was all about. How does this smell? How long does it last? Is it worth a try?

My Full Review

Here’s how Eilish EDP is described: Delicate sugared petals invite you to experience the alluring fragrance as you immerse yourself in the sensorial appeal of vanilla, soft spices, and cocoa. Sleek woods and musk leave a lasting impression that is warm, sensual and powerfully you.

My first initial impression of Eilish EDP, is how familiar it smells, while still being unique. I can’t really pin down an exact comparison right now of what other perfume this smells like. Kokorico by JPG, as a men’s scent? Also has the chocolate and spice and wood, but still not the level of sweetness.

Anyway, the immediate spray is a blast of the red berries and hint of mandarin. But, Eilish EDP doesn’t go completely fruity, and those notes are actually bit players in the scheme of things.

There is a profound spiciness here. Cinnamon seems to be in the mix, but other ingredients are there as well. It also has an ambery warmth, vanilla cream, and the emerging powdery cocoa aroma.

It is sweet, with it’s ‘sugared petals’ note. Petals of what? Rose, maybe? What is interesting to me, is that there is also something greenish and cold here. Menthol-like the way it hits, not necessarily mint, but perhaps, geranium. Not listed, but that’s what I get.

It’s like Eilish EDP shifts from that initial spice to something cooler.

Again, I get reminded of another men’s fragrance, Kryptomint by Mugler. With it’s chocolate, tonka bean, and coffee sweetness. But, that of course has a much larger dose of pure mint.

As it dries down, this one get simpler with what it provides. The vanilla note, really takes over with the cocoa taking a step back in weighting. But, it’s not like the cocoa ever disappears.

Still sugary, warm, and has more of a generic woody base. A lot of the spice (both warm and cold) kind of fade away on my skin. Much more of a warm baked goods smell.


Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

On my skin, this feels like it has a pretty bold and far reaching start. For the first 30 minutes or so, Eilish EDP seems loud and will leave a nice scent trail. Thereafter, it moderates, but this has a scent bubble effect. The reach is probably in the 4-7 foot range, depending on how much you spray.

I personally get up to 8.5 hours of wear from Eilish EDP. It might go further than that for some folks, but this is what I’ve gotten out of it. Not a super marathon runner, but a fragrances that is well above average.

Seasonally, it is obviously an autumn and winter wear. Once you’re in the warmer weather, Eilish perfume wouldn’t be great. Stick to the chilly weather up to more middling room temperatures.

Yes, this does skew younger with its sugary sweetness. But, It’s one that doesn’t go completely into teen girl mode. Sure, it fits that demographic, but if you’re older and like sweetness, there is still plenty here for you.

This could be a daily wear or venture into the nightlife. It’s pretty, with that appealing baked goods gourmand style, which is popular with most people.


Overall Impressions of Eilish EDP

Overall, do I like this fragrance? I do. I enjoy sweeter perfumes, so, I predisposed to liking something like Eilish EDP. I don’t think it is incredible, but it’s a very good example of this sort of scent and is actually unique.

Most celeb perfume lines seem to start out with the mass appealing sweetness bomb. Eilish EDP follows that track, but does offer up something a bit different, and of a bit higher quality. Not super amazing with the ingredients, but not entirely cheap or off-putting.

I do like the blend here. The moments of spice and greenish cold, the powdery cocoa, and the overall sugary warmth is all well done.

But, I will say, if you don’t like the sweet perfumes…this one probably won’t change your mind. If you like the edible gourmand baked goods, this will most likely fit the bill. I like the lack of patchouli with Eilish EDP, as that’s usually what gets infused into these.

The latter stages are kind of meh. It’s fine, but that’s when it actually does have more of the generic body spray sort of vibes.

The performance is good and this is a solid perfume across the board. Is it overpriced? Probably. I’d say that this $70-100 range, is a bit of a stretch. Not a complete ripoff, but just a tad more than it should go for.

Having said that, I was pleasantly surprised by this release. I liked the entirety of the wear, never got sick of it, and think that it is a nice first release.
