I Love Juicy Couture

I came across a 100 ml, lightly used bottle that was at least 80% full. Even though it was a tester (not for sale), it still had its cap which was cool. Because I really love "Believe" by Britney Spears, I bought this one as well. The bottle is camp. I love it. It is fun. It is pretty heavy and large. When I sniffed the cap, I was instantly reminded of "Believe". Now I have both of them on each wrist. I agree that they are pretty similar but certainly different. They share the same DNA. Keep in mind that "Believe" is one of these fragrances that changes according to the weather probably due to changes in my skin. Today is the 31st of August and the weather is starting to get colder. While they both have a fresh, slightly minty quality, "Believe" is more floral while "I Love Juicy Couture" is more fruity. The red apple in the latter is particularly noticeable, making it sweet and sour. The fruits in the former are still there but they are less noticeable. The former is also more shampoo-ey and stronger, the sharp fresh note is stronger. It certainly lasts longer than the latter. Both are floral but can absolutely be enjoyed even by people who do not love floral fragrances because they are not overbearing. While "I Love Juicy Couture" technically lasts for a few hours, it is a skin scent after the first hour. You definitely have to be heavy-handed with this one. At its best, Britney's perfume lasts for many hours and you can still smell it throughout the day. "ILJC" loses a point in the originality department because "Believe" came out earlier and was done better. Despite that and the fact that its performance is disappointing, I still had to vote with a "love" because it is a very pretty scent that is suitable for summer and work. Even when it is hot outside, it is very comfortable to wear and since I cannot wear bold fragrances to work, this one is perfect. It does not really project which means it is unlikely that it will offend anybody. I would love to try it in the autumn and winter. "Believe" by Britney Spears: ✓ stronger and more long-lasting ✓ smells fresher ✓ more floral and less fruity ✓ gorgeous bottle "I Love Juicy Couture" by Juicy Couture ✓ fruitier with sweet and sour notes that smell pleasant ✓ floral but not overbearing ✓ gorgeous albeit camp bottle

I Love Juicy Couture is a fun fruity floral, much in the same vein as a Victoria's Secret summer fragrance. Its bottle alone hints at the kind of kooky frivolity you're in for with this one. The mandarin orange-apple-red currant combo almost hints at a beverage of sorts. It lives up to the "juicy" quality implied in the name, and the honeysuckle note is very pleasant. In the base, I get more of the amber and musk than the patchouli. It's casual and lighthearted, the kind of fragrance you'd wear on a jeans & t-shirt, or sundress & flip-flops, kind of day. It doesn't smell "cheap," just not serious, either.

Oh my goodness. All my blind buys today have been bang on awesome! Woo! Lol I hope you feel my excitement. Anyways at first spray I was unsure if it was something I'd enjoy as much as I do. There's a smidgen of a blech smell at the start, am wondering if it is red currant? It dissapears withen a minute or so and turns into this beautiful, feminine, sweet, sophisticated and fun fragrance. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and wear it for my long walk 😌😄 I can't say I've smelt such a scent before either. I'd take a long inhale if I smelled this in public. Hoping I can share the same effect! Yum!

I love it! At the first spray it's a mix between the unfogettable Gucci by Gucci EDT and Viva la Juicy (pink ribbon), then Viva la Juicy disappears and the scent comes close to Gucci by Gucci and even Believe as someone already noted. The real beauty happens when it settles because it becomes fresher and less dense and reminds me a lot of my beloved XS for her EDP (2018). ILJC is a beautiful scent, my favourite type. I've got to have a backup bottle - which is gorgeous btw. The common downside of JC fragrances is weakness and unfortunately this one is no exception.

This is a nice, simple fruity patchouli scent. It feels so different than others from Juicy Couture that I've smelled (probably because it's missing caramel), and I love it! Update: Other reviews are right that it can be a bit of a patchouli bomb, BUT, it doesn't cause headaches the way that other patchouli-heavy scents do (e.g., V&R's Flowerbomb, Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle, Lancome's La Vie est Belle, YSL's Mon Paris, etc.). I think it may be the sweetness of the amber because I also don't mind Gucci's Gorgeous Gardenia's sweet-patchouli base.
