Jordin Sparks: Because of You Review



Jordin Sparks skyrocketed to stardom following her stint on American Idol. Not only is she an incredible singer and a talented actress, she has a great sense of style. She has recently released her first ever fragrance line. As an homage to the fans who got her to where she is today, she has named her fragrance “Because of You”.  Since the scents are created for her fans, she insists that they be sold at affordable prices and they are available through mass merchants. The graphic design on the carton was inspired by Jordin’s deep love of music. It features an abstract music sheet  incorporating overlaying music notes in warm colors.


Olfactory description/Fragrance Notes:
Intro: Clementine, White Imperial Currant and Orange Blossom
Bridge: Nectarine, Sharry Baby Orchid, and Coral Charm Peony
Chorus: Sheer Musks, Vanilla Bean, Baltic Amber, and Blonde Woods

Review: I was given a Parfum spray and body lotion to review. I really enjoyed the scent of this fragrance. It is floral and pleasing scent that is not too overpowering yet strong enough to actually enjoy. The lotion rubs nicely into your skin leaving your skin fragrant and soft. The shape of the parfum spray is interesting. Although the cap is a little tricky to remove, it sprays evenly.  I definately enjoy it and it makes for a nice spring or summer scent.  The prices are very affordable which is great since I am sure that a large portion on Jordin’s fan base are tweens and teens who cannot generally afford expensive perfumes.

Buy it here:  Because of You fragrances are available at Dots stores, Rainbow stores, and (www.jordinsparksbeauty.com.  The following are suggested retail prices for her products:
2.5 fl oz Eau de Parfum Spray- $14.95
On the Go Mini Gift Set (.2 fl oz Eau de Parfum Sprat & 1.65 oz Moisturing Body Lotion) - $6.95
