I Am Juicy Couture

I get more compliments on this one from men than any other of my perfumes. I have all the supposed “men magnets” perfumes, Pink Sugar Aquolina, Fantasy Brittany Spears, Fancy Jessica Simpson, Alien Thierry Mugler, and other Juicy Coutures, such as the original Juicy Couture and Viva La Juicy and Viva La Juicy Gold. Let me tell you, NONE of them receive quite as many compliments as this one, men just coming to sit next to me because I smell good, or repeatedly telling me on a date or during a study session how amazing I smell. One time, in a library at my college, I had covertly reapplied some (because unfortunately despite smelling lovely it has very poor longevity on me.) A guy from the complete opposite end of the room who had just stepped in asked me if I just put on perfume. Worried that it smelled badly to him, I admitted I had and apologized. But then he came over to sit next to me and ask to smell my wrist and asked what it was. That is also an example of how good the silleage is when first applied. I also personally love the scent. To me, it is a gold sweet happy smell. I don’t get the raspberries, I get an intoxicating sugary gold smell. It isn’t cloying like Pink Sugar or Fancy can be, because it’s not a caramel sweet, or a burnt smell, and I like that there’s no citrus. It’s just purely delectable juicy sweetness. I do get the sweet pea and heliotrope because it smells a bit like grape candy does and heliotrope especially smells to me grapeish. The silleage is impresssive in the first hour and then gets close to the skin. The longevity on me however, is quite poor, but most perfumes are, as my skin is very dry and I live in Colorado where there is zero humidity, which I feel like can help preserve perfumes. The scent is playful and girlish. It makes me think of a pretty girl in a white flouncy dress holding a bouquet of flowers, of sunshine and flirty youth. If I want to mature it more, I’ll wear a spray of the original Juicy Couture layered with it, since it plays well with white floral like tuberose. I personally love the bottle with the interesting top. I think I Am Juicy Couture could be worn best in spring as it holds the happy light smell of spring to me, however, it think it can work year round, except perhaps very hot and humid days as it may turn suffocatingly sweet then. It’s not the most complex scent but I like it that way. It’s happy and carefree, girlish, flirty, and oh so sweet. It’s one of the scents that just fills me with joy on first spritz! I would recommend it for those who have tried it first since to some of the reviewers here it seems to give the complete opposite effect. But for me, it might just be my signature!

All of the other six Juicy Couture fragrances I have are either "love" or "like" for me so I was so excited about trying I am Juicy Couture when my friend gave it to me but I was shocked when I first sprayed it. I usually like sweet fruity scents but this one has a horrible opening(at least on me). there's this rotten fruity thing mixed with cloying sweetness that I find really nauseous.something like very rotten red apples?! But fortunately this horrible rotten fruits phase doesn't last longer than a few minutes and is replaced by a beautiful combination of tart and sweet raspberry and passion fruit and some flowers in a deep, ambery sweetness which gives the fruits a jam-like deliciousness. It's still very sweet but in a lovely, deep and delicious way and I like it so much that I can easily get along with it's awful opening. The interesting point is that the delicious amber-fruits phase isn't the end of the story and it has more to offer. It dries down to something less sweet,more floral, a bit musky,a bit powdery, a bit plasticy. but I don't mean plastic-like in a negative way. It's so addictive and reminds me of dolls and cosmetics at the same time.it's as if there's a hint of Guerlain My Insolence in it's drydown. "I am Juicy Couture" is not a supersweet,boring fruit juice you may first think it is. It has some depth and goes through different phases.It's very pleasant, addictive and very feminine in a modern way but is not childish or cheap-smelling.I'm 30 right now and it suits me. Longevity and sillage are both more than moderate.I have received compliments on it.I believe it shows it's best in cool weather. in hot days it's opening seems to last longer and in extremely cold nights it doesn't project well but it's perfect in this not so cold autumn days we have here. BTW I also like it's bottle.it looks nice sitting next to other JC perfumes.if you're into sweet fruityflorals I highly recommend you to try it and give it some time before judging it.then you may love it as much as I do

I won this perfume in a contest! I was super excited, when I got it.. I liked it. No more. But I do know myself and most scents grow on me. A few months later, and I'm obsessed. At first, I decided that it belongs in the fall and winter. (Even though I use all my perfumes all year around, no matter what season) But I changed my mind.. It's sweet, very sweet and heavy! I could wear this for a nice dinner or at the club with my friends. Even though I mainly sense the sweet and perhaps fruity, a little bit of floral peaks through. I really do love this perfume. The bottle at first annoyed me. I didn't really think it was all that pretty, but it also grew on me and I don't mind it today. Final review: Scent: 4/5 Longevity: Moderate-Heavy Sillage: Heavy! I did get a headache once, my own fault for overdoing it + really hot, thunder-day type of weather. Recommend to people who like a sweet, strong scent with texture and some deapths, but not too complicated! Would repurchase!

If you're going to buy a fruity-floral, go for this one. It's not too expensive, has decent longevity and sillage, and it will probably hit the discount shelves in 6 months or so because it's Juicy Couture so you can repurchase easily. This smells an awful lot like Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir, but I never owned the perfume version of that; only the body spray. I have to say that scent was one of my husband's favorites so I have a feeling he's going to like this. I love the sweet woody undertones in this and the way the fruit and florals compliment each other. I love passionfruit in perfumes and I get a strong hit of that. I have to say I'm loving the advertisements for this. The manicured fist squeezing the life out of the flower petals, and the oily essence dripping down the wrist... Looking forward to wearing it this Winter, and layering my Victoria's Secret Body Lotions with it. Sometimes I'm just in the mood to wear a fruity floral!

I got me a bottle from HSN. Thanks flex pay! Haha! It came in today, and it's fine. Sweet, but not too sweet. It fades pretty quickly, but it definitely isn't water like Viva Fleur and the Malibu's. The dry-down smells slightly off to me, sour and plasticky or something, but the top is like heaven! I might be crazy, but when I was a kid, I was kind of obsessed with this pink bubblegum syrup/medicine I had to take whenever I got an ear infection, and the top of I Am smells exactly like it to me! Like exactly! Haha! It's too bad that part really doesn't last very long on me, cuz at first whiff, it's really awesome. But, as I'm smelling it on my wrist as we speak, boy is there something off in the dry-down. It's funky, and I don't know if I'm going to keep this one. I look forward to reading what everyone else thinks. Oh, and I like the bottle! I didn't think I would. Haha! Update: I returned it. Sorry Juicy!
