Juicy Couture (for women)

Trvevil

It's fresh fruity at the beginning
I felt something like lily and water flower (it reminded me of L'eau De Issey Miyake, but more pleasant)
Then after 2 hours it's like grew stronger and revealed rose (dark, juicy rose after rain) with lilies
Then settled down very impressively for me as I started to dislike floral fruity fragrances. It's so beautiful and strong. I'd like to have it for spring and summer season, but I think it's suitable for every season.

From my skin it's faded away after 2 and half hours. It was there, but I could feel it only on my sleeve. It must be extremely soft drydown.

This makes me want to run through a field of flowers. This is so pretty and makes me so happy. I thought this was going to be another fruity fragrance but it's not on me, this screams soft lily's I am so happy right now. Its truely a girly scent.

Screaming bright Tuberose with some greenish and an aquatic note that is probably Watermelon. Sharp, pervasive, young and loud in a vulgar way. I can't apply enough to not be knocked over by this. It is among my least favorite scents ever.

PR

This brand, surely can boast by producing the most confusing and identical bottle designs, if it is for the identity and style, they're definitely overdoing it.

I never can tell from the first sight which one exactly of Juicy Couture I'm trying..and even if I'm examining it for a while.

Back to the fragrance. I think I've tried either this one or Limited edition Eau JC (Edt) version, but it stayed for a long time, so most likely it was EDP. Quite strong fragrance, very fruity, but somewhat synthetic. For me it smells like Burberry perfumes. The mix of Burberry Weekend and Brit (EDP) would smell like JC.

All I got was a strong floral that was very overpowering. My best friend loves it so now shes stocked :) Gave me a headache.

Manuella

I love this scent.
It is strong but you don't need to spray a lot and it last.

Manuella

I like this fragrance very much.It is strong so therefor you don't need to use a lot and it stays very long time.
Money well spend.
The scent is fresh yet sexy for the evening.

All I get from this one is tuberose and nothing but. Then it fades away to nothing on my skin. I really hate to say I don't like a perfume because I do not want to offend anyone who likes it, but if I am to be honest, I don't get this perfume. It seems very much like other tuberose scents on the market and it just doesn't seem very innovative or different.I should say that I do not wear tuberose scents very well so if you are fan of sweet tuberose, this may work very well for you.

i hate this perfume is too strong. i quit remember i went and sat with someone on a bus and that person stood up from his sit to another..... i was embarrassed all becos of dis perfume and even had flu afterwards. i wouldn't advise you to bye this.

marinadinatata

i bought it over the net, and when i put it on,,, waited and waited to let it settle,,, but no,,, on my skin was tooo sickly sweet,,,, had to give it to a friend of mine..

It's not girly and not for Barbie( I agree with Chaosnmotion). It's really adult and chic. For my husband it's number one on me.

Luciana

cuando lo probe a este perfume, me pareció que probaba un cenicero, no me gusto para nada. Tiene un sabor a perfume rancio. de muy mal gusto

Vanilla77

I do not care for this perfume at all. It smells like grape cough syrup, kinda like that cheap perfume of the 90's called Tribe.

sjanira

It's ok but viva la juicy is better in my opinion

guest_lollipoprince

i will definitely have to try this one. i really like women's perfume and i'm a guy. i just think that men's cologne can be a little sharp and when i wear some of the scents it feels like i should go out and chop some wood or something. i have actually gotten compliments when i wear a good smelling women's perfume. the other day i was photocopying something at my job and my colleague (a really nice lady) came in and said,"Boy something sure smells really great!" i was wearing 'with love' by hilary duff. i strongly think that perfumes shouldn't be labeled as strictly a male or female thing because who doesn't like smelling good? if i like how it smells i will wear it with pride! hahaha.....i guess that's just who i am! but one thing's for sure....i will definitely buy this one.

mightyaphrodite

This stuff just smells good! Probably not the best but smells good! It's only a little headache inducing I had to get used to it. I like it because it's not one of those overly sweetened, edible scents.. it actually smells quite lovely and elegant without the musky complexity. Not the most casual.. wear it when you feel beautiful and sophisticated.. it's more on the mature side. It's unique.. has a gentle scent that leaves a strong impression! And it lasts and lasts!

This fragrance has to be sprayed on lightly or it can be overpowering. It is not one of my favorites,,,

The weather's suddenly started to get a bit warmer over the last week or so which made me think hard about what Summer fragrances I have. I remembered a little sample of Juicy Couture in the cupboard and decided to try it.

JC starts off with a blast of fruit - watermelon, apple, passionfruit & mandarin - then goes into the florals, eventually settling down with a hint of the Patchouli & caramel.

The name suits it well as it smells like a refreshing icey fruit juice you'd drink under an umbrella looking out to sea, mixed with the intoxicating scent of blooming Spring flowers.

JC is just what I'm looking for in a Summer perfume. Something different from my woody orientals, & vanilla type fragrances.

I don't find JC to be a young fragrance, it's sweet without being overly sweet. I think a woman of any age could wear it.

One last thing - there's one note in it that can sometimes gives a sharp, washing powder smell to it that can be a bit strong on your nose, but I can't quite work it out. Maybe it's Tuberose, or a floral note reacting with the Patchouli? If you wear JC on clean, exfoliated & moisturised skin you get the true notes & the sharp note seems to stay away.

PS: The 100ml bottle is huge and ugly - it looks like a truckies aftershave spray. Luckily the perfume is nice!

I didn't like the scent as much as the cute bottle

guest_Hana

Really fresh and cute! But changes depending on your body chemistry

shopping_crazyx3

I think the main reason this perfume is so popular is the bottle design, the brand, and the box. I was thinking of puchasing it, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I want something fruity, fresh, and fun, and kinda flirty, but I'm not sure if this perfume is fruity enough, since the top notes don't last long

Maryel

I purchased the body crème of Juicy Couture; I thought the EDP was too overwhelming for my nose. Its fragrance is not as fruity as some describe and has more lily than I prefer. I also seem to detect more of the base notes (patchouli, caramel & wood) all throughout its presentation. I like it since it does remind me of a much older fragrance. To me it prompts memories of perhaps one of the Faberge or Guy Laroche fragrances from the 1960s or 70s. It really does not seem too original or as fabulous as all the hype behind it. I agree with Sophywt in that the bottle design is very attractive.

I get lots of compliments when I wear this. I know what people mean buy it being loud. Its for when you are wanting to be noticed. Staying power is ok.

LoveScent

It smells good, but far from the best perfume ever created. I don't get all the hype.

Draw by the ads, I bought some samplers of this one together with Flowerbomb. They're all too sweet for me, but Juicy couture smells much more pleasent then Flowerbomb.

Juicy Couture is too 'noisy', too lightful and playful for me to wear. Its sweetness is definitely for some younger girl. Wearing on this, I feel like being among a group of teenage girls who are singing, talking and laughing all the time. Each girl is nice and lovely, but that is not what I want, and I know I won't become a member of them.

well, I still like its bottle design:)

guest_WHATS UP JUICY

i saw the juicy couture in the store and the fragrance was seductive and very appealing.I applied it to my skin and persons were asking me what i was wearing and that it was a lovely fragrance.i love it and i would say it to any one purchase it its worth a place on your dressing table. its different.

guest_dezeri

i bought some juicy, juicy today, and i don't know about this stuff, it's kinda loud. just because it's juicy couture does not mean it's great.

Marianne

I don't particularly like its advertising, but the scent is what counts, anyway. I was quite surprised how well the different sweet and warm notes were combined. Its a really distinctive fragrance, but well balanced. Couldn't stop applying it to my skin. (I hope my colleagues didn't mind ;-)

Chaosnmotion

I dont find this pink, girly or Barbiesh at all... upon first spray upon the skin it is sweet and a little overpowering but give it an hour and the drydown it develops into a very sophisticated and alluring fragrance. I was prepared to hate this when I first smelled it from a sample and then my husband bought me a set for my birthday so I put it on for work and by the time the morning had progressed I had people asking me what I was wearing. Very nice surprise.

Aeternitas

Juicy Couture has a heaving amount of sweetness that I just can't handle. It definitely smells nice, I'll give it that. This is very unusual because normally I really like awfully sweet scents. Well, Juicy Couture is, after all, unusual. But yes, as mentioned previously, it is decadent. Rich and intense in sugary fruity warmth. I can't really say I find it sophisticated. It's downright girly to me with a bit of a "come and get me ;)" edge. Playful and flirty, that's what I meant. The creme brulee note just makes me want to drink the stuff right out of the bottle, and that particular note stayed on me for hours when I wore it. However, I really can't get used to this one. Princess by Vera Wang also has this effect on me, and call me crazy, but I find the two comparable.

~ Introduction ~

I have to disagree with the 'like something Barbie might wear' comparison. Unless Barbie likes unusual, sophisticated, one of a kind, exciting scents of course.
True, it is a sweet, decandent smell but is surprisingly retained and sophisticated. Perfect for a true Valentine mistress!

~ Head notes ~
The opening of the fragrance has the powerfully juicy, sweet aroma of fruits with melon and citrus notes being the most apparent. The impression is quite sweet though not overpoweringly so. Overall, a nice and fairly fruity start for a fruity fragrance.

~ Heart notes ~

After the fruitiness disappear the scent settles into a powdery heart of rose, with a distinct aroma of toffee. This exciting combination makes Juicy Couture's rose very different in fact, one of a kind from any fragrance I smelled with rose the heart. This rose is dark and rich like syrup, naughty and maybe a tad too sweet. Finally, the floral heart is enveloped by a creamy, musky toffee aroma with a hint of milk.

It's hot and fruity and reminds me of a strong burning cocktail and raunchy night in front of a fireplace...

~ Base notes ~

After a few hours when the overpowering sweetness has died down, fresh smelling woods accentuate the final, sheer notes of rose that the patchouli gives even more staying power and let it dominate in a sensual way. It just makes me think of a dominatrix wearing this scent.

The taming effect of vanilla only turns Juicy Couture slightly down and makes it more palatable. One thing surpised me though. The drydown is well, quite dry (no wonder it's called exactly that) and reminds me of glowing charcoal, a hot, almost smoky tone coming from the patchouli.

~ Conclusion ~

Juicy Couture is two worlds, and an array of personalities in one. It's sophisticated but outspoken, girly but refined, hot and cool. The middle phase reminds me a lot of Dior Pure Poison where you have violet instead of the rose but the same lily and tuberose in the heart. Juicy Couture is more gourmand, sultry and also drier in the base where it almost becomes an oriental.
I like the way the fragrance uses classic very feminine floral components and juicy, honey flavoured gourmand notes to create an unusual, intoxicating smell that stands out from the crowd.

I definitely must try this one, thanks to pimpnazt description! If it has a pink, girlish, Barbie and sweet creamy touch as you said, it will be mine soon!!
:)

zoka

So much passion in your description pimpnazt so I have to put it on my reminder list "For test"

pimpnazt

Thank you for adding this! Can I say that perhaps, exactly, as described, this is something Barbie might wear. I wouldn't compare myself to Barbie, far from it, actually. I am a bit more tomboyish, prefering a date to the shooting range than a trip to the mall, but I don't doubt that while wearing this, I feel as girly as I'll ever get. It's a girlie, it's original. It's got creme brulee and tuberose, but the sweetness isn't overbearing. I love it. It's a signature scent for me.
