I ask because everybody on amazon is confused if the ring is supposed to come on the bottle or not. Some are still getting it, some aren't. I bought mine through Amazon Prime, and it smells great, seems like a legit perfume and not watered down or fake. But I don't have a reference for what it should smell like if it were in fact a fake. Perhaps they are fazing out the old bottle style with the ring?Allison Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794696337907092730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-1899511705037823352017-02-20T12:20:20.542-08:002017-02-20T12:20:20.542-08:00Also wanted to mention that this smells very simil...Also wanted to mention that this smells very similar to Stella by Stella McCartney, which is a pricey perfume.

I always wonder about ...Thank you for sharing this. I always wonder about Celebrity fragrances when I see them in the drugstore. I know many of them are owned by credible powerhouses like Coty or Elizabeth Arden, but something about them always makes me just "meh" about them. Which I know isn't fair because it is "judging a book by its cover".....The first celebrity fragrance I was excited about was Britney Spears' "Curious". (I am dating myself here, haha). I was really impressed when I was handed a paper tester by a perfume girl at the department store once. I remember I liked it a lot at first smell. But I didn't buy it that year. Fast forward to 2 years ago when I had an interest to expand my perfume collection with "the ones that got away". Since its strong debut and positive critical reception, "Curious" is not sold in the department stores anymore. I didn't mind to buy from the drugstore with the cheaper plastic packaging, but I was worried that the formula might have changed since they moved down to a lower price point. I asked for testers/samples on 2 different occasions at the drug store. They were both disappointing to me. It was not what I remembered "Curious" to smell like years ago. Yes, it's possible that "Curious" could not be complementary to my body chemistry. After all, I only smelled a sample sprayed on paper and not on my own skin. But even the paper tester I was able to find from a catalogue had a foul-smelling top note. And a generic musky vanilla base note. It smelled really "cheap", and not like what I expected it to be. I was disillusioned and gave up on "Curious".......The next Celeb smell was Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck/Enchanted (?) in the red bottle on a blind buy. That was a waste of money!.....I bought Jennifer Aniston's "Near Dusk" at target because it was clearanced and I liked the way the scratch-off sticker smelled. I watched a glowing review about it and decided to keep it. This one is a winner!ReedShoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646214179391707048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-43004440606409128482017-02-05T11:26:04.398-08:002017-02-05T11:26:04.398-08:00That sounds lovely!That sounds lovely!My Beauty Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829210907642731090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-33347939713056570842017-02-03T19:47:04.629-08:002017-02-03T19:47:04.629-08:00I knew - I just *knew* - as soon as I read the tit...I knew - I just *knew* - as soon as I read the title of the post that this was the fragrance you were talking about!

I know I've used this perfume in the past, but it's been so long I've forgotten how much I used to like it. I do remember however that I loved the perfume bottle itself and Still was the only Jennifer Lopez perfume that I liked the most out of her other fragrances. A full size perfume for $15 and it has a floral scent in it is a definite must have for me.

I always pick up a "back up" when I see it at Marshall's or TJ Maxx. My signature scent for summer is JLo Miami Glow.

Apparently they are a very well-regarded perfumer in Saudi Arabia (maybe even the biggest?!) and they have a TON of different perfumes and perfume oils and the ones that are reviewed on Fragrantica get raves... and their prices on Amazon are so flipping cheap.
