Juicy Couture (for women)
Designer: Juicy Couture Olfactive Group: Floral FruityJuicy Couture is a lovely floral fruity fragrance designed by Harry Fremont for the eponimous brand. It was launched in 2006 and became an instant hit with both the American audience and the critics who awarded it with the industry's top honor - The FiFi Fragrance of the Year 2006. Europe followed suit very quickly.
The top notes reveal pleasant freshness of watermelon, mandarin, pink passion fruit, green leaves, water hyacinth and marigold flowers.
The heart brings with it charming notes of tuberose, lily, and wild rose, while the base unites notes of caramels, powdery vanilla, creme brulee, patchouli and woods. The fragrance is truly multifaceted - light yet not naive, fresh but not in the just-got-out-of the-shower way and sexy without being too suggestive. It seems like Juicy Couture is telling us a few stories (or, in step with this brand's tradition, fairytales) at the same time.
Juicy Couture is available in luxurious bottles sized 30ml (1 oz.fl.) and 60ml (2 oz.fl.) for parfum concentration and 50ml (1.7 oz.fl.) and 100ml (3.4 oz.fl.) EDP. The collection contains matching body care products in the form of crème and body lotion. Juicy indeed!

Comments:
add commenti 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.
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 ;-)
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.
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!!
:)
So much passion in your description pimpnazt so I have to put it on my reminder list "For test"
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.
