Viva La Juicy Sucre

Sweet, fruity, juicy, bright, citrusy, creamy, warm, floral, woody, feminine, pretty, flirty, playful, uplifting, cheerful, yummy On me this opens sweet, fruity, and floral with bright red currant, citrusy mandarin orange, lush gardenia, sweet and juicy peach, creamy and delicious almond crème, fresh jasmine, and sweet and softly citrusy orange blossom. As it dries down it becomes even more sweet and yummy with creamy and fluffy whipped cream, warm and sensual vanilla, a soft touch of cacao, and woody and creamy sandalwood. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the mandarin orange, orange blossom, peach, almond crème, vanilla, and whipped cream. I really enjoy these Viva La Juicy fragrances, and own 4 of them... The OG, Gold Couture, Noir, and Sucré. My favorite is Sucré, followed closely by the OG and Gold (they’re tied). Yes, these do have a somewhat youthful feel to them, but I feel like they can be worn by women of any age (I’m 37 and still love wearing this!). Sucré feels fitting to wear year round. I think it works best for at home, work/school, and casual occasions. I thought it might be helpful if I wrote a little bit about each of the 4 Viva La Juicy fragrances that I own... ✨Viva La Juicy - Bright and juicy with white florals, and a warm gourmand base. It’s versatile like most of the others, and works well year round. I think it’s actually very similar to VS Tease. ✨Viva La Juicy Gold - Sweet, warm, and yummy with caramel and vanilla, and top notes of berries, white florals, and vanilla orchid. It’s a little bit warmer and heavier than Sucré. My second favorite of the line. I think it works best during the fall and winter. ✨Viva La Juicy Noir - Extremely similar to the OG. Like so much so that I can barely detect a difference. If you have one of them, it’s unlikely that you actually need both. ✨Viva La Juicy Sucré - My favorite of the line. It’s the most sweet and gourmand along with Gold Couture. It’s versatile like most of the others, and works well year round. For reference, some of my favorite sweet and/or gourmand fragrances include Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow, Kayali The Wedding Silk Santal, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Kayali Yum Pistachio Gelato, The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods, Kilian LDBS, PDM Oriana, Pink Sugar, Gold Sugar, Pink Sugar Berry Blast, Ellis Brooklyn Marshmallows, Phlur Heavy Cream, Phlur Vanilla Skin, Phlur Caramel Skin, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 39, SDJ 62, VS Vanilla Lace, B&BW Boardwalk Marshmallow Clouds I get great performance with Viva La Juicy Sucré. The longevity is very good, it lasts at least 7+ hours. The projection is nice too, it radiates out at least an arm’s length. *edited to add that I am not sure which version I have. I think it’s probably the original release since I get decent performance with it. I was actually gifted my bottle from a fellow fragrance lover during the spring of ‘24. She said this had just been sitting on her dresser collecting dust, and that she wanted someone who would enjoy it to have it. So, not sure when the relaunch was, but I know she’d had it for a while before gifting her practically full bottle to me. Just for reference, I definitely would have purchased this had she not gifted it to me. I have a large collection, but this is one that I never forget about, and will definitely replace once I go through this bottle!

A Sweet, flirty, feminine, happy, playful, warm, creamy and delicious gourmand fruity floral. Oh wow, I really love this one! Definitely my favorite of the Viva La Juicy flankers (I own the OG, Gold Couture, Noir, and now Sucre) and at least tied with the OG! It has that same Viva La Juicy DNA, but is also its own unique variation of the scent. Just an overall beautiful and sweet fragrance! This is one of those great fragrances that work really well all throughout the year. The notes that are the most prominent to me are the peach, vanilla, orange blossom, whipped cream, almond cream, and sandalwood. I do pick up on the red currant and a little bit of mandarin orange in the opening, but as it dries down it they become more subtle and blend in more with the other notes as the dry down occurs. There’s also the subtle scent of gardenia and jasmine that delicately mingles with them especially in the opening. As the dry down occurs the overall scent becomes more warm and creamy which I really enjoy. Viva La Juicy Sucre is such a beautiful fragrance and a very easy reach. I think it works well for the majority of occasions and is perfect to wear in any season. Even though it does have somewhat of a youthful vibe to it I still think that it can be worn by just about any ago group. It’s a great choice for anyone who loves sweet fragrances as well as a lovely choice for a signature fragrance! I get great performance with Viva La Juicy Sucre. On me it lasts throughout the entire day. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. Just for reference, some of my other favorite sweet fragrances include: Gold Sugar, Kayali Vanilla 28, Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, Burberry Goddess, Nest Golden Nectar, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Orchid, Pink Sugar, Ralph Lauren Beyond Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau So Sweet, SDJ Summer é Amor, SDJ 62

I have the original formulation on my left hand and the newest re-release formulation on my right hand. I'm sorry to report that the formulation has changed a bit..I sprayed more on my right hand than my left and the left (original form) is performing better. They smell 99% the same. But the older bottle is stronger and almost has a HINT of bubblegum. Maybe it has to do with how the juice has darkened a bit makes it a bit thicker and stronger. But either way..there's a bit of a difference in strength. It's been about an hour now and the new formulation is almost gone while the old is still there. I'd snag an older bottle while theyre still available to buy. I think theyre gonna go up in price. I'm sure the reason for discontinuing it was an ingredient legality issue. So they removed some banned inregredients and it is no longer as strong. Up to you if you care about the "toxic ingredients" in the original formulation that help with longevity. This is a lot like the Gold Couture mixed with Glace. You can smell gardenia drenched in syrup and vanilla. It's so delicious and beautiful. But if you don't like Viva La Juicy, stay away. It smells like Viva La Juicy. If you like VS tease or Gorgeous Gardenia, you will like this.

This is one of those perfumes that just makes people lean in. It’s incredibly sweet and soft, the kind of scent that seems to draw compliments effortlessly. My fiancé loves it on me, and it’s become one of his all-time favourites, which definitely gives it bonus points. He always nuzzles me and tells me I smell fantastic whenever I wear it. Right away, I get a mix of juicy peach and delicate jasmine, layered with a creamy almond note and a swirl of whipped cream. There’s a softness to it, thanks to the light florals that peek through, but it always stays in that playful, dessert-like space. It’s sweet without being loud, and there’s something very approachable and cheerful about it. I remember the original Sucré before the relaunch, it was so sweet, like pure vanilla cake batter. I used to smell it on a co-worker and was obsessed. The current version feels fresher and more wearable, which makes it great for daytime, but I do still miss that over-the-top cake vibe from the first release. There was something magical about how indulgent it used to be. Still, I really enjoy this version. It’s pretty, feminine, and kind of addictive. I probably will always have Gold, Night, the OG Viva and this one in my collection.

As a collector who directs her attention towards challenging, and abstract scents, I need my gourmands to justify their existence. They need texture, depth, and can't just be sweet. Viva La Juicy Sucre is a Floral Fruity Gourmand that I always find myself reaching for when I want unadulterated, youthful girly joy. The genius here lies in the dry down. It’s not just "vanilla and sugar"; it’s the creamy, fluffy sensation of Whipped Cream blended flawlessly with Almond Cream and a tiny touch of dusty Cacao. This lactonic, airy quality prevents the scent from becoming overly sticky with a realistic dessert texture. The top notes of bright Mandarin and tart Red Currant cut through the initial sweetness beautifully. This slight acidic, juicy lift provides contrast, so the scent doesn't flatten out. The gourmand base is more dynamic and wearable than many that fall straight to dense cavity enducing sweetness. The Sandalwood base is milky and soft, providing just enough structure for longevity. If you want a dose of confident femininity or simply want to smell irresistibly delicious without trying too hard, this scent is perfect. Not all designer gourmands are for the juvenile. Viva La Juicy Sucre Isn't Just "Fluff."
