To be released in October in the US, la Lopez’s new perfume has hints of fruity and floral scents.

“When I did my first fragrance Glow (launched in 2002), I didn’t really think much beyond making it the best, most beautiful fragrance ever created. We did beautiful things with that fragrance, and I fell in love with the business,” said Lopez.

Lopez’s 20th perfume is based on love and features hints of scents like white raspberry, pink grapefruit, tangerine and pineapple combined with water lily, vanilla sorbet, white wood and skin musk.

“With number 20, it’s a landmark. I asked myself, ‘Who am I and what do I encompass?’ My message has always been love, whether it’s my music or my movies or whatever. It’s such a big part of who I am. We decided to call it JLove for that very reason, because it encompasses everything about me in one simple little word,” she said.
