Juicy Girl by Juicy Couture

Lunohodik

Funny! sweet! young! a bit childish perfume.
Reminds me of something from childhood, home made sweet soda water, or some old fashioned candies... Can't exactly say what.

It works great with juicy velour suits, uggs and mini dogs:))) in this case it sounds even ironic and emphsaises on leisure-vacation-comfy look.

The bottle is so pretty so it was quite disappointing to learn that the juice was still a light, silly fruity-floral, with some synthetic aftertaste.

i like the smell but i am embarrassed to wear it because to tell u the truth i hate juicy. and when ever i wear it everyone recognises it as juicy which i dont like cus perfumes should remain mysterious. well i guess its the smell that counts and i have to say its a lovely smell!

This is 30ml traveler bottle that in the UK is only available as part of a £45 gift set which includes a 250ml Body Lotion as well. The fragrance is the same as the signature scent, Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum.


~ 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.

~ Summary ~

A sweet, decandent smell that is surprisingly retained and sophisticated.
