Viva La Juicy Luxe Pure Parfum

The opening is like a light Saturday morning breakfast, a sweet bowl of berries sprinkled with sugar with some slices of perfectly ripe clementines; its pretty, very likable, and yummy. The middle notes honeysuckle, jasmine and gardenia are fresh, friendly, not overwhelmingly floral, well balanced. After about 15 minutes, the vanilla caramel lightly cloaks everything, and amber warm things up nicely; its sweetness is soft and slightly powdery as well. Its not a heavy sweetness like some of the other VLJC fragrances I own, and this one performs better than the others since the perfume concentration is higher. After 6 hours it diminished some, but after 10 hours I can still smell this on my wrists and shoulders. On my skin, the projection is intimate, so IMO this would make a good option for an office fragrance; you wouldn’t be invading others' spaces with your fragrance, but you’d still be able to smell yourself throughout the entire day. The box and bottle are just gorgeous. VLJC Gold is still my #1 favorite though, it's sexier, sweeter and amber smokin' for date night baby! Rating: 9/10. Projection: 4/10; Silage: 4/10; Application: 6 atomizations; Performance: 10/10. Gender: Female

First the bottle. It's really pretty in person. The rainbow ombre mercury glass finish doesn't look cheap. It's not elegant. But not tacky either. Mine has the gold bow. And if you like the special edition bottles you'll probably like this one too. For the fragrance, it's a slightly stronger version of the EDP. I smell the caramel note a bit more strongly, and the whole blend seems like it's slightly amplified. But most definitely still Viva la Juicy. Longevity for this "parfum" formula is a little bit better than the EDP. But don't expect anything dramatic. The difference is very subtle. I believe these special parfum editions are really just released in special packaging for gift giving and collecting purposes. The difference in formula is minor, and doesn't seem like a true parfum.

The thing I DONT like about viva la juicy. It’s so sick sweet sometimes. Almost to the point it’s hard to wear. So I went with the Noir version. It was darker. Sexy and easier to wear. This Intense EDP of Viva is different than Noir but it is so soft and heavy at the same time. Soft for the nose. But layers on heavy when on clothing. It lasts forever. I get lots of compliments. People recognize the fragrance and I feel like it’s overall prettier than just plain old viva la juicy. Plus. Yes the bottle is gorgeous and wonderful for a collector.

I think whether or not this lasts really depends on temperature and your skin ph. This is very strong on me right now. I just got it today. 2 sprays on wrist and after 4 hours I’m still getting moderate 2-3 ft sillage. I don’t think this is common. think it’s related to my skin. I did not expect to like this but I’m really enjoying it right now. It’s somehow more smooth to my nose than the EDP.

Hello My Lovlies I just received this scent And am about to review it on my second channel- if you have come from “Hello I Am Maria” to see this review.. welcome .. This is taking me right back to a Fun House where Pop Corn and a warm summer breeze filled with the smell of creamy caramel sugary fairy floss is wafting through the air.(when life was Easy & Good) .. whilst licking my fingers as you do when you get that buttery popcorn The hero’s in this scent are the caramel and the gardenia .. they have used a much higher concentration of Gardenia in this to achieve that buttery salty creamy smoothness and the sweetness from the Carmel to transition not only Chronologically from Juicy Couture Noir which also has the Gardenia to move into this version ... Compliments. 8/10 Likeability 7/10 3rd best Gold is number 1 ... bc it’s sweeter ... if that is what put you off the scent then This will be your number one but ... be Warned it is the most expensive of the Lot !!
