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.

I highly enjoyed Viva la Juicy La Fleur and was genuinely surprised that Juicy Couture would create this unique and beautiful scent. L Fleur is the first where I've found the advertised description matches the actual scent. I detected every note mentioned and enjoyed this "sweet" scent. This came in a Sephora sampler box and it was the winning fragrance out of 12 for me. That included Be Delicious, Dot, Candy, Very Irresistible, Robe Noire, Poppy, Guilty Intense, Hanae Mori, For Her, Bright Crystal, Too Too Pretty. I found within the first thirty minutes: - Yummy berry and mandarin notes - Creamy caramel and vanilla - Well balanced jasmine and honeysuckle The perfume softens: - More vanilla and caramel, less fruit - Overall scent stays true as the day wears on. - Lasts about 3-4 hours on me. *8/10 rating *1/10 headache factor. Slight. I sneezed a few times. filmoyster.wordpress.com

This perfume is a big favorite of mine. Adjectives: playful, very feminine, juicy, sweet and sexy. Good for when you're wearing: anything. This was my all-time favorite scent. I still love it, but it's easy to grow out of perfume. This immediately brings me back several years, which is neat. However, this is good for anyone in their 20-30's. I was shocked that there wasn't more people who "loved" this scent on this page. This perfume is the epitome of a feminine scent and felt like all I needed in my perfume collection was this. But, time goes on and you start to explore new scents. I still wear this at Christmas time (which is when I started wearing this- I don't find this is strictly for summer/spring). This perfume, to me, is a must have because it is gorgeous.

I used to HATE Viva la Juicy. There was a time where everyone wore it and I felt like I couldn't escape it. I hated the super sweet scent of VLJ. I smelled VLJ la Fleur with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. VERY similar to VLJ but toned down on the caramel sweetness and more amped up on the floral notes. I bought the 5oz bottle and went through it like water. Sad that longevity is so short. I got two hours and I couldn't smell it. People around me couldn't smell it. I rarely got complimented with this one. I actually ended up buying a bottle of VLJ because I enjoyed VLJ la Fleur so much. I was hoping to get better longevity with the original. I would not repurchase. It was fun to wear while it lasted but the romance is over. On to the next...

A Lighter, Floral Viva La Juicy... This has the Viva La Juicy Juicy Couture DNA, but there is an aqueous freshness in the top notes that turns to red fruit with distant reminders of Fantasy Britney Spears & Perfect Marc Jacobs. The longer it's on the skin the more the Viva La Juicy DNA shines through. This is a lighter, more floral Viva La Juicy, as others have mentioned, and would be easier to wear in summer. I just have a tester, but the performance is moderate, and would likely improve with storing a full bottle over a few weeks or months. I have no issues with the performance, but it does have a lighter weight feel to it, and those looking for something with the same performance as the original may be disappointed. Enjoy!

I love this scent, it's 98% similar to original Viva la Juicy but a tiny bit more floral - more subtle and less gourmand - a watered down version of the original, if you will. The only (major) drawback its longevity, which lasts about 1 hour if your lucky. I bought the 150 mL for what I thought was a steal, but now it seems like an expensive body mist which needs reapplication every hour or so to make it last. It's like having the original at home and bringing this one as a body mist to reapply. My recommendation: buy it if you find it at the same price range of any body mist, because that's what you're going to get... unless you have a different DNA than mine. Maybe you're lucky! Scent 10/10 Longevity 2/10

I bought this by mistake after asing for the original and came home with this after not checking properly. I decided to just give it a go. Its not nearly as sweet as the original. On first spritz it doesnt smell like the original at all. This is a very clean, fresh, sweet smell. On me it doesnt smell especially floral. Sort of like soap and berries. When I where Vaseline coco butter underneath it gives it a better fullness. There is a hint of caralmel or fudge or something like that in there but its not forth coming. Only downside is that it does disappear very fast. Faster than the original I think. Nontheless I really do like this. Its my everyday work scent now.

This smells good! Smells fresh, cool, floral, and light with a heavy emphasis on the light. It smells like a watery, rosy, flirty, floral. It's so pretty but it's not lasting. They not lying when they say its giving body mist vibes. I have to carry it with me or layer it with BBW You're the One or something else floral. It's great for workout because its light and fresh and will disappear so you don't have to worry about it smoldering and getting annoying. You can find this at discount stores for the same price as body mist, but it smells more perfumy. Get it for cheap and have fun with it. I think the bottle is cute and fun.

A light fruity flowery version of VLJ on me, very very nice!!! The only issue is is disappears within 2 hours, gonna try more than one spray and see if that helps. This and noir are both great!! Way to go JC! Edited to add: I bought the VLJ/VLJLF rollerball figuring rollerballs usually last longer on me than most sprays...unfortunatly VLJLF still only gives me about 2 hours of scent then disappears. I SERIOUSLY love this scent and will continue to reapply throughout the day but will hopefully find something else that smells similar that lasts longer. I may layer it with plain old VLJ as that lasts twice as long on me.

I really like this sweet little juice. I got a 5 oz bottle from a fragrance company I happen to find who has great prices, this cost around $25, and even though it is a tester you still get the cap with the bow and cute charm on it. It smells very clean and light, maybe a tad synthetic but not unpleasantly so. It really smells like juicy fruits with flowers in the background. Something about it reminds me of Red Jeans by Versace. Staying power is not awesome, and it fades down quickly, but I could still smell it on my shirt hours later. I think this would be a good one for a teen girl starting a fragrance collection.

I had one spray on the wrist and then dabbed it on the other at around 10am. At first you get a burst of sweetness which is that of the original Viva La Juicy. But wait... when it settles it turns into a lovely floral, hence named La Fleur. I don't find this scent gourmand at all. To my nose it's a lovely sweet floral. Then I went grocery shopping at 4pm and I could catch a whiff of a lovely sweet floral scent every now and then. Now at 11pm while writing this review, I can still smell it on my wrists and can't stop sniffing them! And of course, the bottle won me over. I'm a sucker for fancy bottles!

I really love this scent but you have to literally douse your entire body in it for it to project at all or have any type of sillage, I’m sitting here wearing about 50 sprays and I can smell the leave in conditioner in my hair better than this. Kinda disappointing. I don’t know if I’ve just been used to very strong fragrances recently because I used to wear this a lot and not have that problem but my bottle is probably two years old now. Not sure if that would make a difference, or maybe because I’ve been wearing other flankers of Viva that I’m kinda nose blind.

I love this scent! If you like Viva La Juicy I think you'll like this one too. It is more light and fresh than VLJ and has less caramel and more fresh flowers but I also get a soft powdery smell. On me it is pretty long lasting. I still smell it and I put it on 3 hours ago, which is good for me as my fragrances do not tend to last long. It is very well done and does not smell cheap or synthetic. It does smell young and fresh but not juvenile. I got the biggest bottle possible, the 5oz size. I will be using this one often. I wish I would have found this sooner.

I recently won this scent along with a few others in a giveaway. At first, I was a little nervous about trying it out; I thought it would be another one of those generic sweet girls’ perfumes. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I finally wore it! I like this more than the original Viva La Juicy, which I tried earlier this summer. It reminds me of a lemon cream soda, but less sweet. It lasts about six hours and has a pretty good silage too. It’s a nice casual scent for warmer weather, and pretty good for work too.

Not a true honeysuckle, but generic white florals + sweet... so yeah let’s call it honeysuckle :) This is a lot like the original VLJ, but while I have to wait an hour or so for the "honeysuckle" phase to appear in the original, in La Fleur it begins immediately. But then the fragrance only lasts a couple hours, and is on the light side of moderate sillage. Quite lovely though, and worth having a travel spray for when I'm impatient for the honeysuckle!

This is absolutely the best representation of Fruity/Floral that I have ever smelled! One note does not try and outdo the other. Instead they play harmoniously, giving you the most exquisite blend of fresh flowers, berries, and brown sugar! As many of you have mentioned, longevity is not its strong suit. However, this fragrance is so cheerful, and dreamy, fresh, and sweet, that I don't mind over-spraying this at all!
