As someone who only somewhat got into the Jennifer Lopez fragrance franchise, I was wary of her newest product, Deseo. Whenever a new fragrance hits our beauty counter at work, I have to sample it as part of my job. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. Since most celebrity fragrances are geared more towards teenagers and young adults, I was expecting the flower notes, but not the woodsy notes. That's when I read the information packet from Coty.
Deseo is inspired from "a midnight walk in Lopez's garden moments before a thunderstorm set in." Apparently, Jennifer Lopez called some representatives from Coty to her personal backyard garden and said "I want a perfume that smells like this." The notes used in her perfume are the watery bamboo leaves, yuzu, bergamot, freesia, star jasmine, pink geranium flower, orange blossom, mimosa, warm amber, oak moss, musk, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and mineral accord. The first note to hit the nose is a citrus smell, sometime that can be recognized in most of Lopez's perfumes. The scent fades to a h
eart of floral notes which have a sweet, but still woodsy, scent to linger on the skin.The bottle is a real beauty, too. It's meant to resemble a diamond in the rough. The top was a little tricky to open at first, but maybe it's just me. (It's a twist off, not a pull of top.) I'm also in love with the advertising, but that may be only because I think this is the prettiest Jennifer Lopez has looked in a long time.
All in all, I adore this fragrance, and if I weren't a broke college stuent, I'd buy it. It retails at about $50.
