Sunkissed Glow is the latest flanker to J Lo's popular Glow fragrance, which launched in 2002 and was followed by Miami Glow, Love at First Glow and Glow After Dark. The summer-day-at-the-beach inspiration — “enjoy the feeling of warm sand on skin, bask in the glow of the hot summer sun” — recalls that of Miami Glow, and the juice itself is close enough that fans of Miami Glow are likely to enjoy the new version.
Perfumer Caroline Sabas developed Sunkissed Glow (she also did Miami Glow); and the notes are red grapefruit, pineapple juice, cassis sorbet, beach flower, orange blossom, water lily, passion flower, amber, hot sand, cashmere wood and skin musk. If Miami Glow smelled like a tropical suntan lotion laced with coconut oil…

“Vintage tattoo wear” line Ed Hardy launched their first fragrances this year. The fashion line, from designer Christian Audigier, is inspired by the tattoo designs of Don Ed Hardy, and while I found the bottle a bit less inspiring in person than it was in pictures — isn’t that usually the way? plastic always looks better in pictures — it’s still a great design. I don’t know that I’d wear a hoodie with the “Love Kills Slowly” skull and the “Life Love Luck” trail of roses, but on a perfume bottle it’s fun, and it makes a nice change from the dreary parade of cookie-cutter bottles on display at Macy’s.
The fragrance itself promised more fun. It was described as “super vibrant and sexy”, and “vintage floralcy with a Rock’n Roll Edge” and a “dark eeriness”.
