Future chart topper? [reviewing One edp, by Jennifer Lopez]


  "ONE is a feeling, an energy, a way of being that reflects harmony and brings peace. ONE is internal and eternal. It is not limited, but it is expansive, vulnerable, powerful. Today our world needs ONE-ness, realizing we are ONE world and ONE people. Living for ONE shared hope, ONE bigger meaning and purpose. ONE goal. ONE dream. Connected, not separate, we are ONE "

 


When I first saw One in a Superdrug store, there hadn't been any online whispering of a new fragrance release from the brand, yet there it was calling to me. The packaging & promo photo of Jennifer give One away as a flanker to Promise, which is a fragrance which I highly enjoyed and think is one of her stronger releases.
As I liked it on initial testing and it was on a introductory price offer & I have a store discount, plus would get a free Promise scented candle (the store I was in didn't have the backpacks that were on offer free with a purchase of One), I couldn't resist giving One a chance to impress me...

Snap! Crackle! Pop! [reviewing Electric Fantasy edt, by Britney Spears]

 
"Electrify your fantasy. Capture the brightness of a shining star who owns the stage"

With an illuminating vibe, this vibrant Oriental floral limited-edition fragrance is designed for the woman who lights up any room. Embody Britney’s playful spirit and super-charged, radiant energy to show your inner glow.


When I got hold of Fantasy Sheer, I did immediately think that it was more suited to a spring/summer release... well now that a new  Fantasy Flanker has unexpectedly dropped in Superdrug, I can see that Fantasy Sheer was most likely was intended for either Spring 2021 or Spring 2022, but ongoing Covid madness effecting all points of the marketing, manufacturing, delivery & retail business industries, has caused crossed wires somewhere.

Anyway; one spray of Electric Fantasy and I was intrigued enough to buy a bottle (the fact that you save 30% if you have a Family & Friends discount card doesn't hurt), so here's to hoping that it wasn't just a passing fancy for me & that Electric Fantasy can hold it's own against Fantasy Sheer...

The Glow must go on... [reviewing Enduring Glow edt, by Jennifer Lopez].

 Developed using some of Jennifer Lopez’s favourite ingredients, Enduring Glow is an eau de parfum that invigorates the mind

Shine bright, always with Enduring Glow. An enticing new fragrance that embodies the everlasting glow of Jennifer Lopez’s timeless success. Delicate, vibrant and spirited, ENDURING GLOW is a fragrance that captures the gleam of a woman in her best light, the undeniable presence in the room.


I've not paid any attention to the Glow range of fragrances for a few years, but I was recently gifted a bottle of the most recent Glow 
flanker, which reminded me that this range is still around and still selling well.  

Has the line still got any spark left, or will I be soon be forgetting that the line is a thing that still exists?

Sheer Delight [reviewing Fantasy Sheer edt, by Britney Spears]...

 Sparkling, alluring and softer than the original Fantasy, Fantasy Sheer eau de toilette introduces a new, luminously veiled signature.


Embodying Britney’s sparkling spirit and sensuality, this glittering scent caresses your skin like a barely-there silk robe at the start of a fresh new day. Lighter than the iconic Fantasy eau de parfum, this Oriental Gourmand fragrance radiates like a kiss of flirty temptation. 


Almost a new season, so time for a new Fantasy flanker; after falling in love with the last Fantasy flanker, I had very high hopes for this one and bought it within seconds of testing it.

Here's to hoping that my instincts were right...
