Jennifer Lopez Brings Us a Men’s Fragrance

by Beyond Beauty Basics

Deseo Fragrance for MenJennifer Lopez crosses into the world of men’s fragrance with her newest edition to the Lopez empire, Deseo for Men. Her women’s fragrances have flown off the shelves and it is no doubt that this will go just as quick.

I wanted to capture the intimate and personal nature of a man who is sexy, yet strong

…Lopez said of her new men’s fragrance Deseo. Deseo for women launched last September and Deseo for men will be launching in September 2008.
The sexy men’s fragrance has top notes of lemon, yuzu, red berries and cedar leaf. The heart of the fragrance is tobacco leaves, guaicwood and orris. The final dry down of the fragrance is sandalwood, cedar wood, patchouli, amber, and vanilla. I am loving it already! I am all about my man smelling clean, sexy, and with a dry down of pure masculinity with all of the woodsy notes.

Deseo will be available in an eau de toilette in a 1.7 oz for $45 and a 3.4 oz for $55. There will also be an aftershave balm in a 3.4 oz for $40 and a 2.4 oz deodorant for $16. If you give your man a fragrance, you have to include an ancillary piece, and I always include the deodorant. When your man wears your favorite fragrance along with the deodorant, he will smell even better!

You will be able to find this sexy new Jennifer Lopez fragrance in Macy’s, Dillard’s and Ulta, as well as other specialty retailers. Look for it this September and don’t forget to try the women’s Deseo for women available now.
