Jennifer Lopez says her latest perfume is a 'clean fragrance'.

The singer-and-actress is launching her 18th scent, entitled Glowing, and she loves how it smells as it is an evolution of all her other perfumes.

She told WWD: 'Glowing is such a clean fragrance. That's what I've always been about. I like soapy, clean smells. This is a very woodsy scent. So it's not exactly what I created 10 years ago - it's the evolution of that. At the essence, it's still natural, earthy, clean and real, but a little different side of that. It's the woodsy side of it, which I think is kind of New York-y, darker and sexier.'

Jennifer also says that when she launched her first fragrance, Glow, over 10 years ago, she wasn't expecting the huge success she has had.

She said: 'You don't think about things like that- when you're creating, you're just in the moment. You're doing it right then for right then. You always hope that things have a lasting impression and you go into it with those types of big thoughts - 'Oh, this could be like Coco Mademoiselle or Chanel No.5!' You aim for that, but you don't really think of it when you're in the moment.'

Glowing is a floral woody amber concocted by Jennifer with Givaudan's Calice Becker and Caroline Sabas. It has top notes of bergamot, mandarin and cypress; a heart of orange flower, muguet de bois and cassia flower, and a drydown of sandalwood, amber sultan, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli and cashmere musk.
