Viva La Juicy Rose

This was a birthday gift from my friend.I was so happy as I collect Juicy Coutures and this one has such a gorgeous bottle; but I didn't think much about it's scent because I'm not the biggest fan of peony. I used to like rose but after buying a lot of rosey perfumes, I was tired of it so I didn't expect to like VLJ Rose but boy I LOVE it. It's as pretty as it's bottle: girly,dreamy,fairy-like,sparkly,youthful Rose reigns this perfume as it's name suggests and peony is pretty strong too but it also has a hint of viva la juicy's yummy DNA and it has an amazing pear note. it opens kind of sparkly as if it has a champagne note and has a juicy, fruity freshness but it gets warmer and deeper as it dries down and the pear, which was juicy and watery in the opening, feels like a delicious baked pear in drydown. I can even get a hint of something like caramel in drydown. in this stage, rose is still the queen of this fairytale but it's followed by a whisper of other flowers and wrapped in smooth,delicious base notes. there's also a soft veil of powder probably caused by iris. I read in a lot of reviews about this perfume's soapyness or it's detergent-like scent. fortunately it doesn't evolve to a soapy rose on me.not even a bit. it's very clean by not in a soapy way, it's slightly powdery but not in a dusty,old way, it's also sweet and yummy but not in an overly gourmand way One may consider Viva La Juicy Rose a simple perfume with nothing special.well,it is simple but what can be more lovely than being so beautiful as well as simple?! it's the epitome of feminity and truely sensusl and chic.fresh, clean and sweet and yummy at the same time and it's very easy to wear.it won't offend anyone in work place or school,suits a romantic date,girls day out,going to cinema, and various other situations.I didn't expect this but I can't get enough of this rose,peony,pear heaven I can see that it's mostly a spring/summer perfume.now I'm wearing it in the dead of winter and surprisingly it's so good and delightful,maybe because of it's milky sweetness and warm powdery base.I can't even imagine how pretty it can be in it's right season It's too soon to comment on it's longevity and sillage but I guess I'm lucky in this case too.I sprayed it 3 hours ago and it's still pretty strong on my skin,however it seems to stay close to skin as my husband couldn't smell it on me sitting a meter away,but when I moved my hand close to him,as soon as he catched a whiff said that it's great and smells as good as Aqua di Parma Rosa Nobile(and he loves that one) This is my 6th Juicy couture perfume and a favourite (I also like VLJ Gold and VLJ Glace) Edit: sprayed it 6 hours ago on back of my hand before sleeping and now I can smell a smooth rosey skinscent on my hand 2nd Edit: today I wore it and I asked my friend to guess what I am wearing.original VLJ is her signature.she said immediately:have you layered VLJ with Gucci Envy Me or some other rose perfume?? So It shows up that after all it has the DNA of VLJ رایحه ای به زیبایی شیشه عطر، رز و پئونی غالبن اما تو شروع، رایحه آبدار پرتقال و گلابی حس و حال فرش به عطر میده و یجوریه انگار نت شامپاین داره. تو درای داون گرمتر و خوشمزه تر میشه. انگار ترکیب رز و گلابی پخته و یکم کارامله. تو درای داون، یکم پودریه اما اصلا صابونی نیست. درکل، همزمان هم فرش و تمیزه هم شیرین و خوشمزه. یه عطر رزی کاملا جوون و رمانتیک و دوست داشتنیه. عاشقش شدم من

Hello fragranticans, A member that used to love Juicy Couture, had as a signature Viva la Juicy (EDP) after first snif, loved to the moon and back La Fleur (EDT) edition, had and still have almost all Viva La Juicy editions and graduated from JC College. What I will say? I am expecting soon a new edition that will be the oriental one VLJ. Who knows? I love when houses have a signature scent and don't play much with it. It starts to be boring from a point and after, specially for fans of JC perfumes. Example, what's the point of VLJ Noir (EDP)? Why we faced the discontinuation of VLJ La Fleur (EDT)? Why VLJ Gold Couture (EDP) was that much advertised and now you can't even find it in their website when it didn't suppose to be a limited edition? Let's get straight to Rose. Excellent and catchy bottle, great lasting power and sillage, I couldn't except anything less although JC plays a lot now days. I am not a fan of rose in perfumes and by reading reviews I thought I will find a candied rosie-bubbly result. What really happened? An opening extremelly similar to the original, berries are missing but the sweet part is still delicious and more serious. Middle notes are again similar to the floreal feeling the original gives but peony is the bright star and the ending is clean and fresh. Of course rose plays a good role here, we have Rose edition, but it's so light and almost gourmandise that I don't care. The total feeling VLJ Rose gives me is an expensive shampoo-type of perfume that is as sweet as serious. Belongs to a family of Chance Eau Tendre-Chanel, Blooming Bouquet-Dior but it's way better and full of senses! Like you just jump out of the shower. A bit earthy, light and intense but so romantic. I like it and I am sure everybody will. p.s: Although not a huge inspiration and effort was made to create VLJ Rose, please, please don't discontinue it!

This is a more regal, refined version of Viva La Juicy. It has VLJ’s youthful enthusiasm but is also a more dignified fragrance. Now, though very beautiful, rose can be a very difficult note to pull off well - its use in a perfume can age the composition, giving it a dated feel. Here, the rose shines, remaining vibrant and young. It is a romantic, queenly scent, the rose dominant throughout the fragrance’s entirety. The opening is very reminiscent of Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Wild Flower, so if you enjoyed that scent, this one is for you. This is a sweet floral, the rose, jasmine, pear, and mandarin orange are at the forefront with rose leading the way. It is fruity yet not cloying, it’s somehow gentle and powerful at the same time. Longevity and sillage are both moderate on skin, though they last longer on clothes. When I initially looked up the notes of this fragrance, I could’ve sworn there was a cantaloupe/melon note in the opening. All in all, this smells like a walk through an exotic royal garden on a calm, clear night. The flowers lead you to a table with platters of fruit and the scents of rose, jasmine, pear, orange, and cantaloupe dance together well.

Very surprised at how much I love this perfume! It has quickly become a favorite. I'm not a fan of most juicy couture fragrances. I like a few but no more than like. I thought this would be sickly sweet like the others despite its name "rose." When it came out I wasn't in a hurry to sniff it. I had been receiving a lot of paper samples from Ulta and other magazines. Wow! It smelled amazing! I recently bought a big bottle and I can't get enough of it. I have been wearing it everyday and have received many compliments from loved ones and strangers. It's not groundbreaking but it makes me smell PRETTY. I am very happy with my purchase. I love peony and rose notes. They play out beautifully in this perfume. A gorgeous fresh floral! Lasting power is decent, wish it lasted longer than 4 hours. The other day I sprayed at 5pm, I woke at 9am the next morning and kept catching wiffs of the scent. I guess lasting power differs. P.s. I love that the glitter of the bottle doesn't fall off everywhere. I was worried about that but it's not a problem.

I have several of the Juicy line, and next to Couture LaLa this is my hands down absolute fave. When I originally saw the bottle I fell for it off the bottle alone. Then when I tried a tester at Macy's I was hooked. I waited around and just got the GRANDE EDITION for Christmas! 6.7oz! Just a huge beautiful edition of this fragrance. I have worn it a few times since and I love how clean it is, even with the heavy Rose notes and the fruity undertone. I think it's actually a sheer and chic fragrance. In this colder weather it stays strong on my body and clothes. I feel in the summer in heat it won't fair well at all, maybe in the evenings or during a breeze. This one also does well in rainy days. The chemistry of the Rose and peony and white florals really holds up well in the weather. I love this scent. 10/10!
