Jennifer Lopez Love and Glamour

After 15 successful fragrance launches, Jennifer Lopez is at it again with her latest scent, Love and Glamour. Featuring notes of Italian mandarin, guava, water lily, jasmine petals and sandal wood, the perfume was inspired by the actress/singer’s return to the spotlight.

“What I always like to do is look at where I am in my life at the moment.it was right after the babies…and getting back to what I do again,” she said “It just felt like a time of a lot of love and that seemed very romantic to me—I said it seems like love and glamour.” As with her previous fragrance campaigns, Lopez stars in the ads, this time sporting red carpet-worthy retro waves next to a bottle resembling her famous curves. Love and Glamour hits beauty counters in October.

Emporio Armani Diamonds: Summer Fragrance for Women

For all those who love diamonds and sparkling scents, Giorgio Armani presents a fresh summer flanker for his ‘gem of a scent’, Emporio Armani Diamonds. Presented in a collectible frosted-blue bottle, the new fragrance is more energizing and summery. At the opening, the original perfume’s pulpy, fruity notes now have an almost chiseled scent, thanks to a refreshing green-apple sorbet accord. The perfume is being launched as half of a limited-edition, his-and-hers pair. At selected points of sale.

Description

This floral, musky, sweet and fruity fragrance opens with juicy notes of raspberry and lychee, refreshed with a ‘green-apple sorbet’ accord. The floral heart – all sweetness and light – reveals a note of peony and a ‘rosebud’ accord. The trail’s somewhat dry woods are softened with ambry and musky notes.

Bottle
The original multi-faceted bottle now shades from clear to frosty blue, like an iceberg.
