Live by Jennifer Lopez

It feels like Halloween took a vacation in the tropics.

I loved it. Sweet, fresh, and citrusy at the same time, with a tart note that settles into a fruity sweetness. The base ties everything together nicely. I love citrus, sweet spices, and dry powdery florals that add depth without dominating. This one is a huge hit for me.

Fresh, summery, a bit citrusy but with sweet strawberries. I like it; it smells good. Moderate to light sillage, but the longevity is a shame, only 4 hours on me. If it weren’t for the longevity, I’d buy it again. They don’t share notes, but their dry down, sillage, and longevity are very similar to Ralph Lauren Ralph.

I smell pure green apple. I don’t detect the pineapple, violet, or vanilla. Even though they say there’s no apple, the opening smells like green apple and something herbal. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t impress me. It’s not romantic or sexy; it’s fresh and leaves a clean feeling.

I wore it for a long time and it was wonderful; I would buy it again.

Not as tropical and fun as its sibling Live Luxe. This Live by JLo is a floral-citrus with a powdery touch from the violet; I sense it more floral than citrus. Caramel is noticeable in the dry down, but it’s not the Prada Candy sweetness. Good value, but I’ll stick with Live Luxe, which is much more radiant.

In my opinion, it’s very complex because it changes depending on the weather and your style. It’s a good perfume with decent longevity, but for me, it’s delicious and refreshing only in the heat; that’s when it truly shines. I love the pineapple note, which dominates and is both tart and sweet. The peony does wonders. For me, it’s enchanting in the heat, but in the cold, I can’t stand it; it turns bitter.

It’s sweet, fruity, and citrusy all at once (giving it a fresh vibe), without being cloying, yet it doesn’t stand out. It smells like an affordable perfume and it is, though it’s not a bad scent; it’s rich, just missing that one distinctive element to be memorable. What I smell the most is the pineapple. Its longevity is average. I don’t see it as just youthful, but suitable for all ages; I use it casually, daily, and in spring.

Ideal for spring-summer, though I lean more toward spring. In high heat or if over-applied, it can be overpowering. On my skin, it lasts 5-6 hours; on clothes, all day. In winter, it’s hard to bring myself to wear it, which is why I prefer spring. For a celebrity fragrance, it’s acceptable. I see it for any age: fresh, fruity, slightly powdery, and sweet. It seems ideal for an older person who feels youthful; the powdery violet suggests maturity, while the fruitiness suggests youth. The bottle and scent would suit Peter Pan’s Campanilla… a grown-up fairy with a youthful appearance. It’s very everyday. In the heat, be careful with the amount to avoid being overwhelmed. The scent highlights the pineapple and citrus at the start, keeping the pineapple at the base. A few minutes later, the violet emerges, powderying the pineapple and mixing with blackberry and peony, all sweetened by caramel, vanilla, and a touch of sandalwood. Imagine a slice of pineapple with streaks of powdery violet caramel, over a base of vanilla and sandalwood, with lemon juice, adorned with peony and blackberries. If you like fruity scents that are slightly powdery, sweet, and citrusy, it’s a must-have in your collection, especially in spring.

First time buying blind and it disappointed me (luckily it’s not my only mistake). It lacks power, projection, and longevity, and I don’t smell the pineapple or caramel that attracted me. It’s basically citrus with a soapy touch that dries out and smells a bit off, disappearing quickly. Not sweet or gourmand. Maybe if I mix it with some vanilla or caramel it would work better. For now, a definite no. Update: After moisturizing well, the longevity improved, but the scent still doesn’t appeal to me. I detect the pineapple among the citrus notes, but also a metallic and bitter base. If there is pineapple, it’s canned pineapple. You can smell detergent and baby powder. I’ve tried mixing it and the blends were great; they give longevity to short-lived vanillas and add interesting sweetness and citrus. Phew. I’ll use it mixed, although the only pretty thing is the bottle. I expected more and probably won’t be interested in J-Lo perfumes again.

I remember smelling like pineapple, soap, and baby powder. The bottle is a gem.

I made a mistake in my first review (I only smelled it once) and I used to walk away if I didn’t like it instantly, but now that I’ve smelled it for the third time, I’m pleasantly surprised. It smells like those sweet pineapple slices falling from a piñata at a party. That’s what this perfume smells like. It’s fun, I think it’s great for daily wear. You can smell the pineapple and a sweetness. It’s fresh yet sweet at the same time, not overwhelming, and I liked it. It’s on my list of next purchases.

Very pleasant vibe, sweet and fruity. The pineapple note stands out, it’s youthful, with good longevity and projection.

The only thing I smell on my skin is caramel, so I thought it wasn’t worth investing in something so simple.
