Couture Couture

I had a perfume that my ex loved so much but not me(ferre in the mood for love)I buy a new bottle of it just before we broke up.there was no reason to force myself to use it.I was not in the mood of love and I didn't want to even see it.so I told all my friends and coworkers that I want to exchange it with another perfume.young sister of my coworker asked to exchange it with her couture couture.I didn't know it's smell.I asked juicy couture perfumes aren't that teenage perfumes in pretty bottles that they all smell the same? She said:I don't know.I don't want this one because it's not good for teenagers.it's perfume for adults.finally we did it.couture couture is most beautiful perfume I saw in my life.it looks like a perfume for a queen.but I didn't think I will like it's smell.I usually don't like very flowery perfumes and white florals(I thought there is going to be caramel and berry in it but then I see that's other one)this perfume smells like a perfume for a young queen too.it's very beautiful!it's sweet.sweet plum and Jasmine and lots of other flowers and something like honey.maybe amber and vanilla.it looks classy and heavy and fancy like old perfumes but also modern.finally a white floral that I love.it has great longevity and very good sillage.one of the best feminine perfumes that is very rich and complete.it's strange that lot of people say it smells old.I hate old perfumes but I love this.maybe after all I'm getting old slowly.thirtys second half passes very quickly.but I feel young,just adult,like this perfume.it's sweet,chic,beautiful, strong,heaven.good for every season and everywhere.I must buy it again 10/10 این عطر را خواهر نوجوان همکارم با فره این د مود فور لاو‌ من مبادله کرد چون فره سفید خاطرات تلخی را برام تداعی می کرد.هیچوقت هم خیلی دوستش نداشتم.همیشه فکر می کردم جوسی کوتور فقط عطرهای مناسب نوجوانها میسازه،در شیشه های خیلی قشنگ اما تکراری.خیلی تعجب کردم وقتی اینجا کارامل و توت ندیدم و فهمیدم با عطر دیگه اشتباه گرفته بودم.ظاهر کوچورکوچور خیلی زیباست.اشرافی و خاص مثل عطر یک ملکه اما فکر نمی کرذم از بویش هم خوشم بیاد چون عطرهای گلی زیاد دوست ندارم اما این عطر از لحاظ بو هم عطر یک ملکه هست.یک ملکه جوان.کوچورکوچور شیرین هست و قوی.آلو و یاس و گلهای دیگر و کمی عسل که شاید بخاطر کهربا یا وانیل حس می کنم.عطری قوی و زنانه که شکوه و شیکی عطرهای قدیمی را داره اما شیرینی عطرهای جدید را.خیلی عجیب هست که خیلیها گفتن بوی قدیمی داره.من از عطرهای قدیمی متنفرم اما دیوانه این شدم.ماندگاری و‌پخش خیلی زیاد.چهارفصل و مناسب همه جا.عطر خیلی کامل و تکی هست.باید حتما باز هم بخرم ۱۰/۱

Well, that'll teach me for making assumptions about a perfume based on its' branding! I was never really into the idea of having the word Juicy emblazoned across my derrière, and having only ever smelled Viva La Juicy (and disliked it), I wrote off the entire JC line without a backward glance. Then I stumbled across reviews of Couture Couture. A JC fragrance getting the infamous 'old lady' slur? Weird! If I had to name a perfume house that seemed blatantly aimed at the younger market, this is probably the one I would have picked. Intrigued, I blind bought it. I've never understood what 'old lady' means in fragrance terms. I volunteer in a charity shop with two women in their seventies; one wears LVEB religiously and the other won't stray from her beloved Very Irresistable edt. What does that tell me? Absolutely nothing, except that we can all wear exactly what pleases our noses the most. One of the advantages of adulthood is that we get to make choices based on what WE want, and not on what other people tell us we ought to be doing! This was one of my best blind buys EVER. Juicy plum and a hint of citrus, and then enveloping white flowers (I LOVE orange blossom) finished off with vanilla and sandalwood which prevents the whole composition from becoming too harsh or soapy. It has both a nineties vibe (in that it is bold and a statement 'fume, instead of some of the shy, insipid offerings getting churned out with far too much regularity) and it is also immistakably a Juicy fragrance - it has that touch of sweetness and warmth that draws yo in and makes you go 'mmmm......'. I'm so surprised it's discontinued - I would have thought it had appeal across the board. Good sillage (unusual on me) and decent longevity. I bought mine for a mere £14 and I will absolutely, positively be buying a couple more! Great stuff, Juicy Couture! P.s The more I wear it, the more I enjoy it - it's different, warm, pretty - makes me feel darned great!

I have smelt some old lady perfumes in my time, eg: Quelques Fleurs L'Original, Tendre Poison and 4711 (lol) and this fragrance is nothing like it. If you want to smell like a candy shop, this fragrance might open with a slightly candied grape smell but it soon fades. This fragrance will not be suitable for you. Personally, I am very impressed with this scent. Juicy's Couture Couture seems to have created an exceptional *modern* blend for the sophisticated adult. Whenever I wear this, I am constantly asked what exquisite scent I am wearing. One mid-20isih man at my work once asked me to write it down for him, so he could buy it for his girlfriend. Couture Couture opens a little raw and crisp (like many good perfumes) but soon mellows into a heavenly yet earthy, fruity-plum note. It is mildly floral, but warm and not astrigent, the honeysuckle and jasmine become slightly stronger as it is worn. It is sweet, mildly spicy and definately feminine. This is in no way masculine in my opinion. Even the slight sandlewood dry down is quite sweet. I cannot detect any of the vanilla, it must be quite mild. However with so many other vanilla based fragrances out there, this is perhaps not such a bad thing. While I see this a sensual evening fragrance, it is not too rich that it could not been worn through-out the day. It is not powdery, soapy, leathery or overtly floral. (notes that I think all *old lady* perfumes need at least one of, to qualify for such an accolade) ;) My only critique of this beauty is that perhaps it lacks that *signature* note to make it particuarly distinct. So, in reading below, I discover that it has already been discontinued?? How insane. :( With so many fragrances these days, perfumes need quite a few years to gain a foothold in the market.

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this perfume at all. I got this on a very cheap bundle and I didn’t pay much attention to it initially because the bottle cap reminded me of old ecclesiastical ornaments, and somehow that scared me and left it untouched, secured somewhere behind my collections. But wow oh wow! I decided to give it a chance and I was honestly shaken to the core with how much I love this perfume! I can picture Victorian era women wearing this scent. She’s vintage, she’s regal, she’s gorgeous, she’s wealthy, and yet she screams femininity and delicateness like no other! The opening is surely a floral bomb and juicy citrus fruits. Honeysuckle, orange flower, and jasmine fight for dominance, while the grape, plum and orange notes gang up together. It’s a party of juicy fruits adjacent to a brawl of white flowers. This smells heavenly to me! The dry down is still the scuffle of white flowers but the sweet amber enters the picture, and so does the woody notes. It takes you to a wonderful olfactory journey. I do agree that she smells mature, and will surely be more appealing to older women, but I really don’t care. This perfume somehow gives me peace, which is funny because I love layering it with the Juicy Couture EDP, which gives me the creeps due to the haunting lilies and tuberose notes. But together, they work perfectly to make an ultra-feminine scent. This easily lasts me more than 12 hours on my skin, and even longer on clothes, although the projection is only average. But regardless, this is a scent I loved smelling on me so that’s fine. Love this so much!

To me, this fragrance smells like musk, sherbet and faintly of grapes, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. It smells very elegant and has the perfect amount of sweetness and musk. It’s clearly feminine, and it brings comfort to whoever smells it. My grand kids really like the way this smells. Even though I suspect the musk note reminds everyone in the room that yes, I am in fact a grandma, I don’t mind.. also if you’re younger than I don’t worry you won’t smell like an old grandma wearing this.. what really makes you smell old is just being old. My good friend once said I smelled like a bubble bath- in a good way, and I agree. As gorgeous as it is, I’ve been wearing this for years, so I tend to wear other fragrances now, but this will always have a place in my heart and my fragrance collection. When I smell this is just makes me think of a woman that has her life together; she has a good job, a nice home, she has a purpose and most importantly she looks after herself. This may be weird to say, but this smells how I wish my mother smelled when I was a kid... instead she wore talcum powder and over dabbed her harsh florals. In my opinion, this is a well crafted scent and it is simply gorgeous. I’m surprised some people don’t like this one. If I die wearing this, I would be happy with that.
