Viva La Juicy La Fleur

Gourmand, gourmand, gourmand. The best gourmand perfume ever. It is actually delicious, it is mouthwatering. Caramel heaven- this fragrance is so tasty- it makes me hungry. It is a gourmand sweet creamy floral scent with an ever so slight trace of syrup and spice as the base notes. It really is the best tastiest most mouthwatering fragrance ever. Also I would like to add the bottle is gorgeous, some of the juicy couture bottes are tacky- this is my fav out of all the bottles- it is gorgeous. Now here is where it all comes crashing down- the lasting power goes way beyond disappointing- It probably lasts less than an hour and is a skin scent to start with- I am so disappointed to the point I am heartbroken about this. How can they build me up to break me down like that- this fragrance really is gone to soon! I purchased this at the airport coming back from my holliday and I do not regret 75ML for £36 is a fair price- bit pricey for the lasting power- but this scent smells divine- so I don't mind paying. My favourite gourmand fragrance. I have not tested this personally as of yet but i bet if you allow men to get close enough to experience this mouthwatering skin scent they will adore it and go wild. It is these gourmand fragrances that make a man go weak at the knees. Innocent & Beautiful & mouthwatering gourmand fragrance! Scent=8.5/10 Radiates=5/10 Lasting time=3/10 The lasting time really dissapoints me- Please some genius somewhere reformulate this gorgeous scent but only extend the lasting power.

It's amazing how I did reviews for perfumes that I want or I already have and never did for my favorite/signature one. Maybe it's a part of me but I love fragrantica and sharing experiences. Everyone loves the original and I am sure that out there, there are thousands of Juicy lovers like me who want all the editions. At least this is what I do. I always buy the 30 ml bottle and keep it like a treasure. In this case, when I first tried Viva la juicy-La fleur, I fell in love. I said, yeah, finally my perfume. It has the magic of the original EDP but in a more fresh way. I am not a floral fan but this edition is just amazing. It looks like they made La fleur for the younger crowds but for me it's my all time classic. The sillage is great and lasting power for an EDT impressive. I am so scared in case they will discontinue it since it's no more available in the official Juicy Couture site and I hardly find it in stores. It's bubbly sweet with the honeysuckle and red berries giving their sheer character by not being sickly sweet. Mandarin/green note of water lily help with the sparkling freshness of the bold white floral tones that I can stand (gardenia, honeysuckle, a bit of jasmine) and at the same time are so light. The base of caramel/vanilla/sandalwood is a pure creamy addiction. I could call it a heartbreaker, a dreamer who still hopes for some romance in our strange and modern world. Perfection in one word or Viva la juicy-La fleur <3

I sampled this a few months ago and I was really surprised how much I loved it. Today I got the gift pack with the makeup bag and roller ball/lip gloss from Ulta. I was not blown away by the original Viva la Juicy, but I do like it well enough and only have a bottle because I found it cheap at Ross and thought it'd be a good addition to my collection, but I don't ever really wear it. But when I smelled this it was like Viva la Juicy COMES ALIVE! True, they are very very similar, but where original VLJ is very sweet, a tad heavy and caramel-y this is light and vibrant- and well...Alive! To me this should be called just Juicy, because that's what it is. I get a lot of sweet (juicy!)cherries, a bit of vanilla all laying on a bed of honeysuckle. This just really "pops" to me. And while it is very light, it does last a pretty good amount of time on me. Love this one! And as a side note, I'll review the the lip gloss that came with my roller ball gift set since I'm already here. It looks darker in the container then it goes on. It's a little bit like a frost but not in an 80's way. TONS of glitter and to my surprise, it smells really,really good. Almost just like the perfume but not quite.

I am not usually a lover of Juicy Couture perfumes, having tried all the others before and been overwhelmed by strong, traditional-smelling scents. However, this one pleasantly surprised me, it's a very light, fun scent ideal for daytime, in particular Spring and Summer. I do not think it smells a lot like Viva La Juicy at all, other than the warm caramel which develops after having worn it for about an hour. For me, the most noticeable scents were the flowers; Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Waterlily and Jasmine along with a slight sweetness from the berries which gives it it's charm. I think this fragrance is ideal for teenage girls such as myself and young women as it's very contemporary, a uncommon thing with designer fragrances. EDIT: My only complaints are that the fragrance itself is very dry, and in my opinion, a bit too floral. To me, it smelled like solid flowers, you can't detect the individual notes. It also has a very short Longevity, which is to be expected of an EDT but it's still rather disappointing.

There was a time that I absolutely adored this perfume. It was in my early twenties and I loved the way it made me feel and the way it blossomed on my skin. I don't absolutely detest it now, but I'm just seemingly unimpressed with its composition. To be quite honest, the whole Viva La Juicy line underwhelms me. My best friend loves it and I can see why. It's feminine with very sweet and flirty nuances. However, hasn't it been done to death already with the 8 or so flankers for the original Viva La Juicy? They all to me smell almost identical to each other and the lasting power is a cruel joke. If this scent or any of the other flankers lasted really well I might still own a bottle of it now but it's just so fleeting. I do not want to offend anyone with my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I cannot be the only one who feels this way. I just don't see it being worth looking into now that a whole lot of other fragrances are doing this type of gourmand fruity white floral.
