Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Glow
Prepare for a soft, understated glow, not a dazzling spotlight. This warm amber-vanilla scent is a pleasant, easy reach that won't offend, but it also won't set the world alight. Many find it too subtle, even boring, while others cherish its gentle charm and versatility.

Our Verdict - Illuminate For Women
A budget read of Jennifer Lopez's Glow - that famously clean, soapy neroli-and-musk floral that smells like fresh skin after a shower. Illuminate keeps the soapy citrus-floral signature and clean musky drydown, leaning a touch sweeter via the vanilla. A faithful, comforting take on a feel-clean classic for very little money.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:

Date

Clean, soft and inoffensive, it is ideal for the office, casual daytime and everyday wear, with enough prettiness for relaxed dates.
