Juicy Couture (for women)

lollipopsneeze

Juicy Couture is one of my favorite fragrances and it kinda suprises me. I don't really like Juicy couture purses or the clothing line that much but so far I've enjoyed using this fragrance.

I expected this one to have more of a fruity heart but I've found the top fruity notes to take a quiet backseat to the floral heart. Which to my nose smells like a gardenia or just a beautiful summer garden in full bloom. Gardenia's, roses, honeysuckle, and lillies with tart green apples and watermelon balancing out all the sweetness..I suppose part of my suprise with this one is not only the designer nametag but just me loving such a loud white floral! I usually want to run in the opposite direction of white florals!

Now I KNOW this perfume doesn't have all of those notes but that's what my nose thinks it smells..I also pick up faint traces of vanilla and caramel especially when my body is hot and this fragrance comes alive! I've also noticed that in warmer weather I enjoy it more and I find that it has less of a 'smokey' quality about it that I find hard to describe..

Whether this fragrance is poplar or not really doesn't matter to me..I like too many things about it..It has great sillage but it's not too heavy or cloying..I get compliments everytime I wear it! The bottle is pretty in my opinion and I like the little charms it came with too.

Juicy Couture is 85% white floral, 15% fruity freshness, in my opinion. I have a spray sample of this. The first time that I tested JC, I was disappointed. When I hear the word "juicy," my mind envisions something sweet, fruity---JUICY. ;0) I am quite fond of JC, so my disappointment was not because I dislike this lovely, very wearable fragrance. Hmm...picture this: You order a glass of iced tea and without looking, you take a drink. Your mind has prepared your taste buds for tea. Instead, there is Coke in your glass. That is the best way that I can explain myself. I was expecting one thing, but received another. I have only tested this twice. The first time was several months ago and it was still rather chilly. While I liked it well enough, JC didn't really "wow" me. I tried it again today and it has been exceptionally warm here in SoCal. I was hot all day! I found myself really loving JC today, as my body temperature was much higher, the notes in this fragrance literally came alive. It was a pleasant distraction on an otherwise muggy, stale day. I sprayed liberally, as I do not find JC to be cloying in the least. Which brings me to another nice point. This scent has amazing staying power without being "too much." I even sprayed a bit in my hair. I think that there is a terrific balance with JC. Often times, a floral fragrance can be too artificial-smelling for my taste. That is where the "15%" fruity notes lend a helping hand to the white florals, keeping it fresh and just a tad sweet. I look forward to trying Viva from Juicy Couture, as I suspect that I will find more of the sweet "JUICY" scent that I was expecting from JC. Since I love and DESIRE so many fragrances, I doubt that I will invest in a full-size bottle of this, but I would definately purchase a roll-on or purse size of JC! Worth mentioning: I don't care about the popularity of this EDP. Whether it be a niche fragrance or a best seller at the dept. store counter, if I like it...I like it!

Oh. My. Gosh. I hate this stuff with a passion. To me, it speaks volumes- not about being sophisticated, or couture- but about wanting to own it just because it's made by Juicy. Unfortunately this also has to do with the women I've encountered who wear it! I'm not saying that everyone who owns it is an awful, shallow person- at all. But I don't understand why it's so popular, other than the label itself. It's far too much of a hodge-podge and is way too sweet. Nothing about it is revolutionary. And how can it be "couture" if it's such a trend?

missk

To be completely honest, I'm not actually sure whether I like Juicy Couture or not. Most of the time I'm fairly certain about liking or disliking something, however in this case, Juicy leaves me on the fence.

First off, this is a nice fragrance. The reason why it is popular is not a mystery to me, yet there is something about this fragrance that will have me smelling it for hours but at the same time thinking it's not all that great.

Although Juicy Couture is supposed to be a fruity floral, I consider Juicy as being more of a white floral fragrance. The tuberose, lily and rose notes are rather prominent, even in the top notes. The drydown of vanilla and caramel also leans me towards a gourmand fragrance.

I think I do like Juicy Couture, but I think the only thing that holds me back is the simple reason that it smells too similar to other floral fragrances I have tried. I may have built up a high expectation of Juicy Couture because it was so popular.

With that being said, it's still a pleasant, feminine, pretty and casual fragrance which could suit almost every season. The great lasting power is not to be dismissed and its popularity just goes to show that it's not to be ignored.

I have to be honest on Juicy Couture: I really like it! I've been told so long that it is a bopsy scent for teen-agers that I skipped it for a while. Than I went to a chain perfume store in Italy and there was a whole corner dedicated, so I decided to test and what I've found out is that this fragrance isn't really into a matter of age nor style! It may be far too popular to be original. Actually it's a very pleasant, highly wearable, not invading, floral, a little sweet scent with a soft long-lasting woodsy/powdery base. Very fragrant, quite classic I would say, with some distinction. If I smelled this on an elegant middle-aged lady on her casual day I would not tell it from other big names scents. This smells in the same line as Dior Miss Dior Cherie, Hermes Kelly Caleche, Chloe and the alikes. It is very suitable for daywear at the office or shopping around or at an after-work drink. It's delicate and quite lovely, unmistakebly feminine but not in your face. The price is good average and the bottle is so cute! It's a modern bottle with a vintage allure. I advise that you try this before skipping just because you're not into Juicy Couture style. You may find out that it works fine with your chemistry.

For me, it was 'love at first whiff'... bought it as soon as I could get my hands on a bottle and have had amazing compliments every time I wear it - it oozes sensual femininity - gorgeous bottle too. Like another comment I read, I wouldn't use it in winter, but for spring or summer, it is perfect...mmmm!!!

JC is one of my favorite scents. The first time I got a sample of it, I thought it was very aritificil and overwhelming. I still think it should be wore cautiously because it is very easy to get too much of it: the sillage is great. This is an intense candy-creamy-floral, very sweet but decent. I get many compliments wearing it. I think it is sort of a new generation of the loud/noisy Lou Lou. In ten years from now,I think people will have about this one the same kind of opinion which is given nowadays to Lou Lou.

The first time I smelled this, I think I literally recoiled in horror. The word juicy has always brought to mind very sweet, tart, fruity smells and I expected something in the way of a sweet and tangy blast of berries to come shooting out of this lovely bottle and was ever so disappointed to find an overwhelming white floral, instead.

That was a couple of years ago. While I'll admit, I'm still a gourmand girl above all else, I've grown to appreciate white florals for what they are: feminine, fresh, sensual and romantic - and this one has, admittedly, grown on me to the point that I'm considering a purchase of the roll-on.

My mother adores white florals and used to use Michael by Michael Kors, religiously; which is probably why I shied away from this one, initially (who consciously wants to smell of her mother?!). Anyhow, I've always loved the smell of white flowers in their natural state, and I think JC does an excellent job of blending tuberose and honeysuckle in a way that almost brings them to life.

I know that honeysuckle isn't listed in the notes and maybe it's not supposed to be there, however I smell it - loud and clear and in all its sweet, luscious glory. This isn't an artificial, soapy honeysuckle but rather a sweet, milky, just-plucked-from-the-vine interpretation and it blends so well with the tuberose that it's easy to forget that it's the smell of a perfume and not a garden surrounding me and following me wherever I go.

This is definitely NOT a scent I would wear in winter - to me, white florals are a warm weather accord and the heat seems to bring out all their sensuality and warm them up so as to make them smell like actual petals blooming on the skin. I tested JC on my skin a couple of days ago when the weather was warm and it made me want to change out of my casual shopping clothes into a beautiful, flowery dress and to walk through a garden in full sunlight - enjoying the heat instead of hiding from it.

This is a very rich, thick scent and as the fruitier top notes fade and you're left with sweet, succulent tuberose and honeysuckle, you'll certainly catch compliments left and right but be forewarned - more than one or two spritzes will take Juicy Couture from sensual to stench in a nanosecond. Don't be fooled by the brand as this is nothing like the tacky, florescent sweat suits designed by Juicy Couture with "JUICY" written across the bum - it's a very grown-up, mature white floral with lasting power and depth to match its maturity.

I bought this scent last month and i think that is very special for young spirit and sensitive personality...
Smells very soft and pleasant to take into account...

katyas

Strangely, this does the same thing on me that Celine Dion Celine Dion does, which is to come out the bottle smelling lovely, but once it gets on my skin it just smells like dust. *sigh* I just can't figure it out - similar fragrances smell wonderful; I don't know what is different in this one, but my body chemistry just doesn't work. C'est la vie.

Robynlovesperfume

I agree with Aeternitas that Vera Wangs' Princess and this are comparable... I don't know what common note they have(if any), but there is something in both compositions that make me think they are very much alike.
And because of the initial blast of the top notes(but mainly the hyacinth) being sooo strong, I used to greatly dislike this fragrance. I never thought I'd ever say this, but I really like it now! I just needed to give it a few trys, and it also helps if you wait for it to sit on your skin for a while, to fully appreciate it. And maybe it's just me, but I would classify this as being more of a gourmand than floral-fruity(?)... In which case it would also explain why I've grown so fond of it, seeing as I'm a huge fan of the gourmands:)

dalkiuyu

the initial spray is an unbearable blast of hyacinth and watermelon...but i love the drydown of vanilla and caramel. it's very warm and spicy. unfortunately however, i keep missing the middle notes. i can always only smell the top notes for about an hour, and then the rest of the scent seems to be the base notes only. anyone else notice this??

APassionateJourney

I don't see how people can classify this as a fruity fragrance. Viva La Juicy is very fruity, and even THAT fragrance isn't fruity, but very sweet. This one smells very floral to me. I have both of them and I love them both

LadyJedi

A really JUICY fruitty floral scent in the most gorgeous bottle. I find the opening notes of hiacynth and apple mouth-watering! The base is sweet and intoxicating with the caramel and vanilla seductive notes. Overall, it's a gem of a fragrance, both romantic and flirtatious, with exceptional lasting power!

sharyssa

I really didn't find this appealing.It smells like flowery graham crackers and I don't care what brand it is I wouldn't wear this.And I have sampled it 3 times to give it a fair chance but it is not for me.I do love the bottle though it is very elegant.Just wish the scent was better.But to each his own.

koshechka

If I were to describe “Sex and the City” in one word (ok, two words), it would be “Juicy Couture”. This is a rare example of things otherwise discordant united in perfect harmony. Watermelon and powdery vanilla, pink and black, hip and classic, frivolous and elegant… It is perfect for someone thirty going on sixteen – tastefully…

sniff

It's really delight! I didn't sniff such a kind of smell for many many years. It starts with juicy WATERMELON! I love it the most in this parfyume...but it don't lasts long.. and then i hear some vanilla in wood. ..for me very unusually, but not bad. It's funny, sexy and perfect for cold time

AmilkA

yes, it's a sweet bunch of flowers, at the beginning even too much and a little bit annoying. but after an hour... mmmmmm, so true, so deep and warm, like a precious old wine... :)

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 scent immediately pictured me, when I had blonde hair color

essija

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.

tessture

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.

mmsmlzgud546

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.

woogyjones50

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.

maame

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..

AW

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.

harajukulovers

I think it describes the posh side of barbie but its not tarty

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!

guest_

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

KeLLStar

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!

eccentricJ

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

guest_

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.

sophywt

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.

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.
