Peace, Love and Juicy Couture

Well, well, well...Fragrance is such a fickle fellow...This has certainly moved up the ladder on my favorites list; particularly with warmer sails among us. I won't lie, the ingredients listed look a mess, the reviews indicate a disaster, and the rating falls below my lowest standards. Yet, I spent more than I usually would on a gamble all because I saw my dearest Rodrigo had perfumed this creation. What I received was as spectacular as I anticipated coming from this man! I've read below this less than humble opinion, and seen cross references to toilet cleaner and pet shops, and while I'm awkwardly chuckling at these creative comparisons, I can't help but feel slightly aback with bewilderment. The start for me, is the purest verdant awakening - like running wildly through a meadow with blades of grass macerating under the heel / toe rhythmic waltz of prancing joy. Or the violent clipping of stems to form a hasty bouquet celebrating a moment in life's brilliant cacophony of beauty and wonder. This perfume breathes in cadence with a bright freshness and an enduring naive spirit. As we reach dry down, it is as if we have smelled every part of the flower, from stem to petals, then ending in this ethereal sweet splendor. A coveted fragrant softness emerges; gentle and discreet. To be fair to those unwilling to undergo this journey a second time, I can attest to a strange synthetic heart. A bridge between the genesis of an impeccable start and a envious finish. I think the strangeness of that territory is magnetic; almost addictive. But keep in mind, I also adore the smell of gasoline and gunpowder - separately of course. So if you find yourself curious or courageous enough, give it a go! You may be just as pleasantly stunned as I continue to be.

Typically, I stay far away from anything labeled Juicy Couture as I associate the brand with 20-year-old college girls (I'm 34). But I stumbled upon this page on Fragrantica and from the perfume notes, accords, and reviews I thought I might like this. I purchased a bottle blind from Amazon thinking it would be "ok" at best. Turns out, I absolutely love this perfume! It has quickly become one of my favorites and the one I wear the most often. (And it is EDP, unlike the description above which says Peace, Love, and Juicy Couture only comes in EDT in the larger sizes.) If you like the other offerings from Juicy Couture, you probably will hate this as a lot of people do from the ratings above. But I think that's because it's not marketed toward the population that like this kind of fragrance. It's not at all candy-sweet like their other perfumes. It's truly a green floral with a hint of something juicy (lemon and red apple) in the opening. When you wear it, you just smell clean and fresh. I have received compliments from family, friends, and strangers when I wear this. It's no longer listed on the Juicy Couture website so it has been discontinued, but there are plenty of brand new bottles still available on Amazon and eBay. I even found a 100ml bottle at Marshalls the other day. If you like green florals, you should definitely give it a try!

My favorite Juicy perfume, and I think the most underrated. PL&J gets a lot of criticism but I personally love it. I went through a Viva la Juicy phase like a lot of people, but I quickly grew out of it. Now I can barely stand it, it's much too sugary, caramel syrup for me now. Peace, Love and Juicy is much earthier, fresher and more floral. It's greener but still has that "Juicy" vibe. It responds very different to each person's body chemistry; I've heard several people say it smells like grass, which I do NOT understand. Others just say it stinks. But I love it. I sincerely believe that if Estee Lauder or Prada came out with this then it would be much more popular. It's sad that it doesn't get the appreciation it deserves because it's produced by the same house that also created Viva La Juicy. I resent the notion that you can't smell pretty without smelling like you've dumped a bucket of caramel over your head. Peace Love and Juicy IS pretty, it IS youthful and it has dignity. It doesn't jump up and down in a pink tutu screaming "Hey, you over there! Look at me! How cute am I?!" My heart will break when this inevitably gets discontinued.

I'm one of the lucky people whose body chemistry works with this! It starts out as a citrus-y floral and progresses to a floral/green/herbal scent with a slight touch of dirt. I think that's the patchouli; it's not very strong on me, but it's there. Then it slowly becomes more herbal, and I keep smelling the patchouli, and then the musk surfaces. It's a soft musk that I'm OK with wearing in hot weather. In fact, I love this perfume in the summer! I was surprised to read all the comments saying it doesn't last. It does on me, and I have dry, perfume eating skin. But I will say that it's not extremely strong; I don't fill up the room with it, which suits me just fine in hot weather. I don't want to overwhelm people with a strong perfume in the summer! I can understand that this isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you don't like green and herbal fragrances, don't buy it. I'd say it's a safe office fragrance, if you spray with restraint, but I wouldn't call it a safe blind buy or gift. It's too bad that it's been discontinued. I bought a big bottle, so it'll take me quite a while to use it up. By then, I'll be ready to try something else!

My sister recently blind bought this from the discount shelf because of the Juicy Couture branding thinking she would like it, but it ended up not being to her tastes at all and so we did a swap because... I dig it! A fun, slightly sweet floral green freshie that is different from everything else in the Juicy Couture line. I think it would make a good beginner's fresh/green fragrance because it is unmistakably so, yet without the green bitterness that could cause a problem with some noses. It is also very affordable for a 100ml too, but maybe it's so cheap because they might be discontinuing it? Just a guess, correct me if I'm wrong. If you primarily only like gourmand/sweet scents, test it first or steer clear! I know it's cheap but don't get something before at least researching the notes! I believe most of the negative reviews are from Juicy Couture/gourmand fans that were expecting something much different. Make sure it works well on your skin too, it seems to go weird on some people. I'll be getting some good use out of this one as it gets warmer outside! Channeling love & peace! ❤️🤞

Elegant Fragrance - Peace, Love and Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture This is a beautiful light and silky smooth clean floral with great silage. This is absolutely not J'Adore Dior dupe as one of the reviews mentions. This was on the market long before J'Adore was marketed. (In Australia) as far as I am aware. I have both and they are similar as both are floral, but they are certainly not the same. If you think this is a Dupe, you must have a fake. In fact if you don't love this you must have a fake. It's a feminine, gorgeous easy to wear fragrance. I paid close to $150 for my 100ml bottle a few years back. If you got a cheap bottle it's fake. Constant compliments each time I wear Peace, Love and Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture, I can not recall one occasion of wearing it that I have not been asked what perfume I am wearing and where did I get it. I have not seen it for a while, so I am not sure if it is still available. It is a lovely clean floral that lasts all evening.

A favorite!! This is a spring day, laying on a blanket in a meadow, wearing organic cotton, with flowers in your hair reading a book. This is so different then expected, yet I love it. I blind bought this recently for a good deal, and i have other juicy couture fragrances that i love so i figured I'd like this as well. I expected sweet and strong of course, and got grassy soap, but in a good grassy soap kind of way lol It's light, it's fresh, earthy & floral, NOT GOURMAND like other Juicy..i'm still trying to get over the shock of the scent but I think I will love it even more in the spring. If nothing else the bottle.... need I say more? scent: 10 packaging: 10 update: easy go-to fragrance choice, it's so fresh and clean and natural and lovely and not overpowering or heady, i even frequently wear it to bed. I've decided to invest in the largest 3.4 oz size, i wear it so much

Gorgeous 😍!!! I skipped this for a minute cuz of ppl saying it was dirty hippy type earth girl kind. Well I'm glad I found it so cheap and gave it a try cuz this is really pretty! Straight classy, crisp, sexy slightly green, new age Jessica McClintock with a sour edge to it. Mmmm it's scrumptious 🌿💗. I'm stocking up... It's not dirty patchouli in fact it reminds me of something I can't put my finger on at the moment. Definitely not like viva la juicy but I've never been a fan of the viva line. I've only loved og juicy couture, Hollywood couture, Malibu couture, and now peace love and juicy is my kind too 😋 I will figure out what this is identical to and when I do I'll update. Got it!!!! It's identical to Escada Lily Chic! ♥️ I wore this in 82 degree F weather and this sexy sweet musky scent enveloped me! It’s even more gorgeous in the heat!

Wow, it is indeed very close to the discontinued Chanel Cristalle!! Wow, who would of Thought it from a JC perfume?? Anyone missing the chanel , get this. It's my first JC owned, bought as a part full eBay bargain. My current budget does not stretch to Chanels and the like , although I have owned that perfume in the past. I have read that this is also discontinued, which is a downer. However there are still many affordable bottles avail online which I plan to buy ASAP, while I can. I also.want the JC Sucre which I've tested before and was a lovely fun gourmand, I thought all Jcs were gourmand so what a surprise this was. So glad I pulled the trigger, I needed a new spring green perfume that's affordable ( I love chanel 19 but that's out of budget too) and now I have it.

Peace Love and Juicy couture- how I hated you last summer when you came to me (bought wrong bottle by mistake)! You were green, sharp, loud and not even the least hint of sweetness. I hated you and wanted to swap or throw you away! But I didn't! Now almost a year later I tried you on again after discovering more than just white flowers. Peace Love and Juicy couture- yes you are green, sharp, loud and you don't have any hint of sweetness! I'm sorry for I said I hated you! You are indeed strong and sharp- just the way I want to feel! Now you are my "pick me up" early mornings and daytime and you remind me of my need to put my self first in hand! You have moderate silage and stays on my skin for about 5-6 hours. Suitable for women that knows what they want!

As the other reviewers stated, PLJC shares no resemblance to any of the other Juicy Couture fragrances. The perfumer behind this scent, Rodrigo Flores Roux has mixed up some of my old favorites such as Mary Kay's Velocity, and Clinique Happy. I just read he is the nose behind Vacation, and that's a high priority on my want-to-try list. Back to PLJC. This is a VERY green floral fragrance. If Gap Grass and Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori had a baby it would be PLJC. This will not be a daily wear or signature scent for me, but it's still fun. I especially enjoy wearing this on a sunny day outside, and it's just perfect for that. I get about 3 to 4 hours of this on my skin, longer on my clothes. PLJC will always have a place in my collection.

This is the closest to the discontinued Chanel Cristalle EDT. A Scent by Issey Miyake wasn’t close, DKNY Woman was even further (though I enjoy that one for the unique tomato leaf), Chanel No19 is way greener and different (a favorite!), the whole Chanel Les Eaux line has only one, Deaiville that is similar to Cristalle in the first 30 minutes, but then that one goes into a warm scent scent. Lovely, but not a replacement at all. This is a crisp light green floral. I’m so glad I accidentally bought the giant bottle of this as doubling the amount of sprays I normally do, 2-3, results a spring fresh, happy, refreshed cloud. Cristalle also has the Chanel DNA which is obviously missing from this, but everything I was craving is here.

Peace, Love and Juicy Couture held a very special place in my heart. I picked it up during a trip to Hong Kong and wore it all through college ... those carefree, velour-kissed days when Juicy Couture was the mood. It was fresh, flirty, and full of youthful charm. The kind of fragrance that felt like sunshine in a bottle. It always brought a wave of nostalgia, reminding me of who I was and everything I was dreaming of. I adored it so much... it wasn’t just a perfume, it was a memory sealed in glass. I remember holding on to the little charm bracelet for the longest time. Even the commercial for it is still etched in my mind. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

The longer I have it the more I love it. Let's start with the fact that I actually bought it spontaneously and was curious if it's really that bad as dislikes would suggest. I like flowery powdery a bit sweet scents. Not fan of any fresh cucumber watery thing. Tho, this thing is sucha weirdo, it feels dusty and fresh at the same time. I first had to think if I even would like to wear it but now I spray it always to keep my mood up. I think it's great in warm humid weather(not too hot). It's a very youngfull and classy at once, fresh scent. I really think that all those dislikes come from the people who expect candy

I get mostly the Meyer lemon and a green patchouli from this, with a floral underneath that keeps them from smelling too sweaty. It's an interesting juxtaposition of clean and earthy, though not dirty, and it's great for a spring or early summer day, with a boho tunic and some Birkenstocks- it's casual and doesn't try too hard, and doesn't expect to please everyone. I wouldn't call it sexy, but it's fun and quirky. Edited to add: I've realized that what this mostly smells like to me is very young boughs, stripped of the bark. To a lesser extent, the stems of hardy flowers as they are being trimmed for the vase.

Recommendation: you must love tangy green fragrances to appreciate this one. This is an excellent winter fragrance, perfect for those dark cold days when you're missing the vibrant greenery of spring. It reminds me of those breezy warm spring days, when the snow has melted and the earth is saturated: wet soil, dewy grass, budding flowers, a light tang of lemon wafting on the breeze, and the musky-sweet smell of autumn's composting leaves. It's comforting & fresh. I get decent longevity with two sprays (one on my neck, one on my shirt): easily 6 hours or more. I'm very happy to have this in my collection.

I thought I'd already reviewed this but it seems not......I'm on my 2nd bottle and I hope it doesn't get too HTF as I don't think it's production anymore...Why did I sleep on this for so long!! ...A real pleasant surprise.... Agree with others, not a typical JC perfume.at all.....It really reminded me of Chanel Cristalle..... Someone said it was a dirty hippie smell.... Not at all....there's is no dirt/patchouli whiff..... It's just clean , fresh , grassy and springtime in a bottle .... Love it.... Waiting for the nice spring weather now to start wearing.it out .

I love this, especially if you can approach it outside of its other Juicy relatives. Its unlike most of their fragrances--its not a gourmand and a totally different type of sweetness. Its grassy and mellow, like you've had a picnic in a field of hay and wildflowers. No caramel or vanilla sweetness--if you're expecting something similar to most of the other Juicy perfumes, you will be disappointed. For that reason I think it may be a risky blind buy. This is a great spring and summer scent. Its very green and light. Like grass with some delicate blossoms.

Very different from the rest of Juicy Couture fragrances, green, earthy... it doesn't smell "juicy" at all. Has great lasting power and is definitely a summer fragrance. What I love about it is that it's not sweet and it's not sugary at all, I would say that it could be very easily worn at the beach, if it didn't have such a strong lasting power. I've been through several bottles of it and I always stock up when it finishes. The body creme of this fragrance is great as well and compliments it pretty nicely. Would definitely recommend it.

A blast of green, fresh, hyacinth-y, lemony, lime blossom goodness. Green, green, green. Spring green in a bottle. I would imagine that if you were expecting a sugary sweet, gourmand, Juicy Couture flanker you would be disappointed and confused by this scent. Luckily, I was wanting the polar opposite of a Juicy Couture fragrance, and this one fits the bill. It works well with my skin chemistry, and brings back memories of my mom wearing Chanel Cristalle when I was a little girl. I love it. It's just my type of scent.
