I tried it years ago in a shop and loved it; I bought it online when it was discontinued, but it arrived past its best so I returned it. Now I finally have it. I adore the bottle; it makes me want to display it on a decorative cabinet. The scent is incredible: it smells like the air after a storm, with tropical fruit stalls in the Caribbean being washed or a Japanese garden. All freshness with a slight sweetness, nothing cloying. Ideal for heat and very refined for a celebrity fragrance.

A unique gem with no possible dupe. I’ve worn it for 10 years and didn’t use it up because it’s discontinued, but this year I told myself ‘let go of Vani, let it go’ hahaha. I liquidated it reluctantly but gratefully. It always compliments me; it’s refined: fresh and warm at the same time. Ideal with rain, autumn or winter (spring only if it’s not too hot). Lasts 12 hours on skin and longer on clothes. I hope La Jeny makes it again.

I love it! Although I can’t quite put my finger on why, it smells very softly of talcum powder to me, with bamboo being the standout note. It’s a super fresh, feminine and sexy scent, a real delight for my nose. The trail and longevity are moderate, but I think it’s worth it. Also, the bottle is gorgeous. I recommend it to women who want to feel fresh and clean without losing that sexy touch. I’d give it 8.5/10.

I tried it years ago and loved it, bought it online when it was discontinued and it arrived spoiled, so I returned it… now I finally have it! I love the bottle, I want to display it as a decoration. The scent is closing your eyes and smelling the air after a storm in a tropical shop or Japanese garden. Freshness with a slight sweetness, nothing cloying. Ideal for heat and very refined for a celebrity.

I found it today in a local perfumerie and was surprised. It smells exactly like the 2000s: fresh and exotic but simple. Bamboo, yuzu and mimosa dominate. At first it’s sharp, reminding me of a niche scent I can’t recall. Good projection, still strong after an hour. It didn’t make me feel special, but it’s a very good fragrance.

Like all of JLo’s scents, it smells clean; a blend of floral notes with green bamboo stems and a sweet touch of amber, musk and patchouli, highlighting bergamot and yuzu. It’s a fresh floral ideal for summer. The bottle is pretty, I recommend it: it lasts on clothes until the next day, though not so much on the skin.

An unknown scent at JLo and it’s a pity because it’s fine and fresh, between soapy and talcum-like; you can smell the bamboo and mimosa. I don’t like the bottle, but it smells like a refined lady. It’s sad that people talk more about Britney than JLo; to me, they seem more refined and of better quality.
katie
It’s one of my favourite JLo scents; it smells like a freshly rained-on garden and coconut. It lasts a long time, around 8 hours or more on the skin and days on clothes. I’d wear it more during the day in summer, although it also works well at night. The bottle is original and very cool.

I love it! I detect a soft talcum and bamboo dominates. A fresh, feminine and sexy aroma. A delight for my nose. Sillage and longevity are moderate, but it’s worth it. Beautiful bottle. I recommend it to those who want to feel fresh and clean without losing the sexy side. 8.5/10.
Poly1979
Like all JLo, it smells clean. A blend of floral notes with green stems (bamboo) and the sweet touch comes from amber, musk and patchouli, with bergamot and yuzu citrus. It’s a perfect fresh floral for summer. Nice bottle, I recommend it. Lasts days on clothes, less on skin.
Haruna
This perfume smells like a garden full of flowers and plants just after the rain; it’s super fresh, slightly sweet and pleasant. I’m not a fan of the bottle, but it’s worth trying. Like many celebrity fragrances, the longevity is short, but the trail is moderate.

Smells like a garden full of flowers and plants after the rain. Very fresh, slightly sweet and pleasant. I don’t like the bottle, but it’s worth it. Like many ‘celebrity’ scents, the longevity is precarious and the sillage moderate.
katie
One of my favourites from JLo. Smells like a freshly rained garden and coconut. Lasts 8+ hours on skin and days on clothes. I’d wear it during the day in summer or at night too. The bottle is original and very cool.
VANE DG
I like it a lot. It’s not intense at first, but the longevity isn’t much, maybe it’s just my idea. I also detect a coconut scent.
Natalylopez
Smells like a post-storm tropical garden. Fresh, floral and tropical, delicious.
