The perfume Viva la Juicy was presented as a gourmet floral fragrance, which opens with notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin. The heart encompasses a floral blend of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, while the base notes await us with a gourmet rhapsody of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.

The perfume arrives in a typical Juicy Couture bottle with a charming ribbon of fuchsia colour, as 50 and 100 ml EDP, as well as roll on edition in the amount of 7,5 ml EDP, appropriate for your purse.

Besides the perfume, the collection includes 200 ml rich, luxurious body cream, 250 ml bath and 250 ml body lotion. Viva la Juicy was launched in 2008.

YUM! The first time I had a whiff of this was from Marie Claire. After one smell, I knew I HAD to get it! It's one of the only fragrances I'm not dissapointed with. I'd say it's more fruity than floral

I tried this on in the shop and it was lovely but then I bought some and wore it just briefly and it was awful it is very sickly especially the base notes I can't believe the difference I am disappointed but I think I prefer the original juicy couture to this one it's more fruity and soft so I'm afraid that viva la juicy has to go it's a shame the add and the bottle are very cool but the fragrance lacks unfortunately it's too sweet and I can't smell any fruity notes in it at all which is why I got it to begin with I give it about a 4 out of 10 I hate it when you buy a perfume and then it just doesn't live up to it's write up never mind. There are plenty of others to choose from.

Fantastic! This smells like happiness - floral, fruity, mildly sweet and fresh. I smell mostly florals and vanilla and a touch of citrus. I find it fades quickly but it sure smells good while it lasts.

I was very curious to smell this perfume since it's so popular. Today I had the chance and to me it smells just like Victoria Secret Noir Tease. So similar and since I already own the Noir Tease, I deciced not to get the Viva la Juicy. But it smells really nice. Florally and sweet

I tested this because everyone seemed to love it, but couldn't enjoy this fragrance- the orange note reminded me of an air freshner for the bathroom or some cleaning agent.
Very cute bottle though, and I can see why teenagers love this.
Fruity with some vanilla, nothing interesting, perfect for girls who want more than a body splash but are not used to actual perfumes.

Here we have yet another teen-targeted el cheapo mess, and another scrubber for me. Good for you, those who love it, I would really love a study to be done on whether you will still like it and/or whether it will still be around in, say, even 10 years' time.

Don't thumbs down me just because my taste is different to yours!!

I DO love reading all the rave reviews.

This is an absolute favorite! Smells a lot of black currant, sweet honey, creamy pralines and a hint of vanilla. An absolute beauty. At first an explosion of orange hits you, that almost immediately calms down and the above scents emerge. The scent is fresh and sweet without being flowery, more berry sweet ... yummy, yummy! The fragrance is playful and happy and even if it is sweet, it has just the right amount of sweetness that makes it very hot and sexy! I get lots of compliments when I use the fragrance...!!!! The scent stays relatively long, about 5-6 hours.

Detta är en absolut favorit!! Doftar mycket svarta vinbär, ljuvlig honung, krämig praline och en aning vanilj. En absolut skönhet. När man först sprayar den uppstår en explosion av apelsin som ganska omgående lugnar sig och ovannämnda dofter framträder. Doften är fräscht söt utan att vara blommig, mer bärigt söt... yummy, yummy!!! Doften är lekfull och glad och även om den är söt så har den precis lagom mängd söthet som gör den mycket het och sexig!! Jag får massor av komplimanger när jag använder den... av alla!!! Doften stannar relativt länge, ca 5-6 timmar.

After watching all those youtube perfume videos, and reading reviews, I had to buy this one. And in that case, it was really great blind buy!! Firstly, I bought the roller-ball from Ebay, since this treasure is not available in my country, neither in countries around. And I LOVED it! And since I had found one Czech forum, and one saw that one woman was selling it, because she had had a HUGE perfume collection, and didn´t use many of them very often, I decided to buy it. So that´s how did I get mine 3.4 fl.oz. Viva la juicy :)

Let´s move to the actual juice. I thought it would be fruity, but I don´t get ANY fruit on my skin. Acutally, it´s VERY floral, with a nice gourmand background. There are two notes in the opening that stands out on my skin: gardenia and honeysuckle. Then that delicious gourmand caramel, vanilla and pralines!

This one is very girly, playful, fun fragrance. Not TOO sweet, just the right amount of sweetness, without being suffocating. I think this is a perfect one for spring and autumn! NOT FOR SUMMER..Maybe summer nights. The lasting power is OK.

And I got TONS of compliments on this, so great this is not popular here AT ALL!!! BUT I do think that price tag is kinda ridiculous! But I would definitely buy another one, if I ran out of it!

sucha a delicious perfume, actually edible...i am not a fan of vanilla - actually i hate vanilla.
but i love this perfume (even thou it has vanilla) just because it doesn't smell like straight up vanilla, it smells of mandarins, juicy berries & some florals, praline & teeny bit of vanilla :)

only thing lacking is lasting power - doesnt last more than 1 hour

Viva La Juicy-Juicy Couture

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice fragrance. I like how I can mostly smell honeysuckle. However, I think this is very overrated and nothing spectacular. But since Juicy Couture made it, I guess people are going to be in love with it.

I adore this.

Sweet, warm, fruity goodness.

I'm not exactly sure but after the dry down I smell coconut.

My only issue with this is that it doesn't last that long.

Oh viva, I wanted to like you, but you dont like me. It dries down to a musky old lady smell on my skin. Yet another perfume to check off the list. I only seem to be able to do Coach's Poppy and Philosophy's falling in love. So i stuck with floral fruity with a vanilla base to narrow down my search. But it's so chemical and heady smelling on me, I had to use tons of alcohol and soap to get it off. At least it has staying power, but alas; back to the drawing board.

This fragrance is perfect. It is sweet without being heavy and the bottom is creamy and clean with a nice touch soapy acid on my skin.
The opening notes are very plastic, but eventually becomes delicate perfume but noticeable.
Staying power is not bad, although it loses intensity, lasts all day on the skin.

i tried it at the store the other day and it smells really good on paper. wanted to buy it but then again i always remember to test it on the skin as it can react differently on everybody. i was lucky i tested it. it smells really bad on me. like a strong vanilla-sugary-chocolatey kinda scent. i got headache and couldn't smell it. but it smells good on paper and my friend. well, its a matter of body chemistry. not for me. but the bottle is really pretty.

Viva la Juicy? More like Viva la Nasty!

Tried this on in Kohls today. Big mistake.

It smells like rotten fruit with caramel to me. It's too sweet. I don't mind it on other people, but to me, ew. Sweet rotten-ness.

Scent: 0/10
Bottle: 7/10 (it's cute!)
Staying power: 9/10 (sadly, 8 hours on me! Ick!)

Would I buy? NO! NO! NO!

It smells OK on other people, but personally, I hate the smell.

Love this- Viva is my "day" fragrance and it is perfect. It's sweet and sexy and like shopping and cocktails and fruit and summer and fun. A certain type of girl buys Juicy Couture and I think the company nailed their niche market with this one. Another way to describe it is when you smell it you think of that pink bow that comes on the bottle. Girly is an understatement.

Everyone's chemistry is different and on me I smell more of the mandarin, the jasmine and the vanilla. I never got a caramel or praline scent, but the vanilla, amber and sandalwood come out after it rests a while. The longevity is also great. My only complaint is it comes out of the bottle so heavy I shy away from spraying too much. My boyfriend has said he can smell me before I get from the street to his door when I spray it in the car, so I would suggest doing this as an after-shower spritz or if ou have plenty of time to let it settle before going out.

This is lively. Doesn't last long on my skin. Victorias secret sect little things noir tease smells just like this. I'm sure its far enough away from the actual.scents recipe so they don't get sued....but to my nose they smell exactly alike....in fact. Unless you are a professional nose you will think they are the same event. I have this from victorias secret so I'm not sure I'd buy this one too....I probably will though.....the only difference between the two is biochemical florals are more real to my nose by a millimeter and vs is aot more fruity sugqry. It smells divine.

I'm wearing this now. Sweet without being too cloying. This gourmand is delicious, in a candy sort of way, and not in a "cake" or "pastry" sort of way. Imagine gummy bears and milk and caramel and vanilla. Sweet, but tempered with a little bit of tart. It does not come off too strong, it is sweet but not headache inducing. Projection of fragrance is moderate, but lasting power is really good. I love Viva La Juicy.

I had been wanting this for a while, especially since I've been so happy with the original Juicy Couture and I finally got it the other day. Very fruity, sweet and so popular that some other celebrities try to copy it; hello Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift! Lol Anyway, if you don't like sweet, stay away from it. Viva is a bight sunny day at the beach, sipping daiquiris while kicking back and just having a good time. This is fun in a bottle, that's the best way to describe it, and yes, it is a "young at heart" frag too, but you certainly don't have to be a teenager to wear it. It's also a nice scent to chase away the winter blahs. On me, it's caramel drizzled fruit with warm vanilla, so it's another one of those "Oh man, I wanna eat my arm when I put this on" kind of frags. Lol

UPDATE: This has great lasting power on me. I can catch whiffs throughout the day and I'll be like "What is that nice smell?", and it's me. Lol This is now one of my fave pick-me-up scents. I love it!

omg i can't get enough of this! i've recently purchased it and the smell is so heavenly. i want to wear it every single day! but i don't want it to run out so i'll just wear it every other day :)

i highly recommend this scent to fruity-sweet perfume lovers! i can smell the mandarin and the vanilla-caramel notes mainly. it's a 'bright' summer scent imo.

This is absolutely a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance. I would call it bright and big; it announces its presence loudly when you enter the room. This is my "party" scent, because I really can't picture myself wearing it every day.

I do, however, really like this one. I'm not sure I would call the fruit notes "top notes" because for me they certainly don't burn off in a few minutes. In fact, most of the smell I get from it is orange and currant, and then it later develops into something still fruity with some of the sweeter notes in there, too. The vanilla and praline are quite nice, but I don't smell the overwhelming caramel that other people do. For me it's a bit tart at the beginning before calming down into a sweeter, fruity smell.

I only ever use one spray of this and it lasts all day; any more than that and I can see how it would induce headaches, but luckily it has never triggered the perfume headaches I sometimes get myself.

Eu era louca para ter este perfume, sem nem mesmo nunca ter testado. O frasco é maravilhoso, uma obra de arte; as notas lembram em muito o tipo de perfume que gosto, mas a fragrância mesmo... Detestei. É floral na hora que passa, mas daí a uns instante fica doce doce doce! Cheiro de bala. Borrifei no braço e não aguentei o resto do dia. Ele vai agradar quem gosta de perfumes marcantes, doces, caramelizados. Eu aprecio florais e cítricos.

I was crazy bout this edp, even had tasted. But when I tried it... Oh gosh, i didnt like it at all. Sweet, a lot of vanilla, remind me a candy store. I had a headache when I wear it.

I desperately wanted to like this and was so excited to test it out. Unfortunately, on me, it reminded me so much of the scent of "Off! Insect Repellant!" I was quite shocked. I actually quite like the smell of the repellant though, and have made the mistake of thinking it was perfume on someone! All I can smell is this repellant when I spray Viva La Juicy. This is on my skin, however, and would be dependent on each individual's chemistry.

I think my opinion would be different if I hadn't smelled the repellant before. I suggest to try before you buy!

It reminds me of one of the miss sixy parfumes. I cant remember which one because I never bought them. But yeah. It smells a bit drugstory/synthetic. Sorry I dont like it.
It is very sweet and warm scent, feminine too. But i guess the drugstore vibe keeps coming back. Have to pass.

This has become my everyday scent. I love it so much. This fragrance stands out to me, so much that when other girls wear it, I smell it and say in a slightly raised voice "someone's wearing Viva La Juicy" and they look over at me and ask how I knew that and I reply "it's only the best perfume ever!"

you can wear this during the day or at night. it's light and at the same time really sexy.

I agree with Ulrika: I get lots of PLUM! Otherwise I would like it, for I do also get some caramel and general sweetness, which I like - but the plum put me off. Reminds me of 5th Avenue Style by E. Arden, which costs way less - so if you can not afford JC, buy it instead :)

On "my skin" it has a very sweet, fruity top, I would put plum first in the top, the sweetness increases with caramel and vanilla, but I can't notice much of the floral notes.

I can see the similarity between Viva La Juicy perfume and the LOTION of Victoria's Secret Noir Tease. The lotion only... Victoria's Secret Noir Tease perfume smells NOTHING like Viva La Juicy. Tease is waaaayy wayyy more vanilla-y. Viva La Juicy is much more fruity. I love both, though.

I tried hard for viva. It's supposed to be this amazing candy/gourmand fragrance. I should be right on board! Unfortunately the black currant note is way too strong to me and makes the scent smell like bubblegum. I never really get the luscious caramel notes, they are too strangled by the fruits. To me this smells like a bubble gum flavored sucker with a caramel chunk in the middle you barely notice.

Okay, so this scent isn't horrible. It's not like I hate it, but I can't really seem to enjoy it either. Unfortunately due to the popularity of this scent I am pretty much doomed to viva. Viva perfume samples are sent to me all the time with my online orders, and viva is usually included in perfume variety sets. I guess viva is something I will learn to put up with.

I know a lot of people who like it. In my opinion, it's too sweet and not appropriate for work. Maybe it doesn't mix well with my body chemistry... But if you like extremely sweet scents, Viva la Juicy might be suitabe for you! Adorable packaging though!!

wow. sometimes this stuff goes really warm on my skin and sometimes it smells fresh! it keeps changing on me, but i still really like it, warm or fresh!

when it smells warm, i get more of the gourmand side; the caramel and pralines.
and when it smells fresh, i get more of the fruityness of the mandarin.

love this juice! and of course, the beautiful, tacky bottle ;)

To me this smells like a girl in her early to mid 20s.. with straight light-brown hair in a casual outfit like jeans or jean skirt and a green and pink or blue and pink striped polo shirt or a magenta pink tank top and fun flip flops. Maybe medium gold hoop earrings and a gold beaded bracelet. Maybe a track jacket or an outdoor wear type windbreaker or fleece too in springy type bright colors. It's not just pink...it's pink with a sporty color too... like yellow green or blue in there..
It is fun.. warm.. inviting.. happy...casual and care-free.

The longer this remains on my skin, the more I enjoy it. At first I thought it was just another Jessica Simpson/Britney Spears vanilla bomb, but over time my opinion changed. I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's an interesting blend of white flowers and gourmand yummy things. Sometimes I think I smell gardenia. Other times I get touches of orange and some kind of gooey berry jam...all with a drizzle of creamy caramel. Sounds scrumptious, no?

I went through a sample and liked it as an every day scent. A friend let me fill up a Travalo with her perfume. I like to wear this sometimes, but not enough to buy it. With this and the original perfume, you're paying for the ultra expensive and heavy glass bottle. I don't think the juice is as expensive, but it still smells nice. I can see why it's appealing to many women in different age groups.

I was introduced to Viva when I asked the perfume sales staff for a "fresh" fragrance for summer. I liked it, but i didn't love it. It smells too much like many other fragrances out there right now. Nothing original here for me. I have the original Juicy, which is so lush and thick-I was hoping for something a little more distinctive. I ended up buying Burberry The Beat instead. It stood out from the rest of the pack.

I know I should be LOVING this, but it smells very unoriginal. Considering it smells EXACTLY like Noir Tease by Victoria's Secret, which is one of my favorite scents. But I don't know, a little to strong; and WAY expensive.

If you really like it, just buy Noir Tease! Prettier bottle and way cheaper.

Oh my, what a lovely gourmand perfume Viva la Juicy is! It’s mostly about sweet notes but I don’t find it overly sweet like many other reviewers here do. I’m a big fan of gourmands and this has just about the right amount of sweetness in it. It starts off with fruits but when the sweet notes in the base come out, which they do pretty soon, they stay and stay and stay. All Juicy Coutures have a great longevity and this is no different. I only wish that I could smell the beautiful florals more but they just seem to be lost in there somewhere. But the bottle is awesome.
I’d describe Viva la Juicy as playful, youthful (but not only for youths) and happy perfume.

I have never been a fan of "sweet" fragrances, but Viva has had me totally hooked because it dries down to an irresistible and deliciously warm, creamy base. Not one-dimensional, but quite casual and more than a little sexy.

It probably helps that it's doesn't start out overly sweet on me--not overly sugary, or heady with vanilla. It's true though that it doesn't last more than 4 or 5 hours unless you put it on your clothes.

Cloyingly sweet. I bought this because I read a few reviews somewhere that said this was similar to Marc Jacobs' Daisy. Those people must have lost their sense of smell in some tragic accident. This has a much more impressive sillage than Daisy, but unfortunately that sillage says "I'm a bimbo." If you want something loud and sweet try Gucci Rush instead (the Viva bottle IS way cuter though.) Or, try the original Juicy--it has cute fruity notes too with a little less sweetness. I like that one much better (and own it as well.)

Viva la Juicy was in my want list for so long. I desperately wanted to like it or to be exact, love, but it turned out vice versa. I'm going to click on the 'I want' button to un-'I want' it. lol. I thought I would like something caramel-y but no, I don't somehow.

I'd only sniff it this evening and felt disappointed with my nose. lol. But it might be better on my skin. I should go check it out again later. It is yummy, sensual and, err, loud? I don't like it, but don't mind if someone give this as a present. The bottle is awesome anyway ;)

this one is a pretty mainstream fruity-floral. I don't really care for it. Bought it unsniffed at TJ Maxx, and have only used it once or twice. Too sweet and fruity, and gets kind of cloying on me after a while.

I love the scent of this perfume. It's sweet, creamy, vanilla goodness. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't last. And for the price tag, it should be made to last. I use it sparingly because I won't repurchase. And no, it's not because my nose it used to it. I've never worn it on a daily basis because I like to smell my perfume throughout the day, not just an hour after I get to work.

this is my signature scent in the evening...
and then it fits the best for parties... going out somewhere, relaxing, dancing, having fun with friends.
its the perfect nighttime version of the classic juicy couture... very similar in the base notes and everything, just with a little warmer, sweeter, floral and sexier side. but its not overwhelming, not pure sex or really sexy (not something i would pair with a little black dress) elegant or anything... just something very relaxed, laid back, and wonderfully romantic and joyfull and just makes you feel your gonna have one hell of a great time this night! those two juicy coutures just fit me, my body chemistry and my mood so pefectly, and another reason for my love is that i have NEVER EVER received SOOOOO many compliments on my smell like on this perfume, especially from men. i just walk by a crowd of men, and then they suddenly turn around and one tells me how amazing i smell, and the others just all agree with excitement. and then the attention is all mine for the rest of the evening, because noone can walk past me. :)

This perfume would be so amazing if the lasting power wasn't so unbelievably poor. The burst of juicy sweetness of the top fruit notes disperse so quickly into the drydown notes that it's kind of strange. I've never had a perfume change so rapidly on me. All of the notes are pretty, but this perfume is gone in a flash. Very disappointing!!

Initial feel of the fragrance:

I must say as I am not a well developed nose, as I am not a perfumer, it is quite upsetting that I can't yet pick out all the individual parts of the fragrance. But it is quite suprising, all of a sudden you get a whiff of the florals, then back to the creamy indulgence of the bases.

The fragrance itself:

My Dad just bought this for me as a present from a trip abroad. I love it, initially I can smell the vanilla and caramel with a small hint of jasmine. After about twenty minutes when the base notes have died down (they seem to be the most strongest part of the fragrance) I get the slight bitter-sweetness of Mandarin and the florals come through stronger. I haven't been wearing it for that long, and I can start to feel the honeysuckle and jasmine creep through.


Personality:

It is a great fragrance, easily wearable at any time of the year. Day to night. Girly, youthful, no punch more like wallowing in soft silky duvets and pillows... on a giant bed in the middle of a woodland surrounding you with with vases of jasmine, honeysuckle and gardenia. Just imagine that, the girly frilly duvets, the woodland and the soft flirty flowers... now whack a giant box fully of caramels, pralines and your favourite vanilla body butter. That's your fragrance.

Such an appealing fragrance, it' makes you feel good happy serine, it's candy but no overly sweet, it's ever so comforting.. I believe if you can get past the overly youthful appearance you're really going to experience a wonderful perfume .. Verry well balanced and for the type of perfume it is, it's longevity is amazing.. silage light to moderate

I used to be obsessed with this perfume, when I first got it because of the beautiful sweet floral and candy like smell. This perfume is quite strong, and only needs minimal sprays.

For me, it lasts the whole day with only a 2-3 sprays. I do like this perfume a lot when used generously. It's like a candy wonderland :) and is extremely sweet..

It's a great perfume for a young female.. It's such a fun perfume, that will leave you smelling like a candy shop. From scents of vanilla to various fruits..

The bottle is gorgeous and complements the perfume well. I would recommend this perfume.

Note: for those who do not like extra sweet perfumes, you probably wouldn't like this perfume, as you may find it over powering.

My rating: 3.8/5

A Limited Edition 100ml Parfum of Viva La Juicy is launching! I'm hoping it launches in the US. I found it on an Australian site, which says it's $165, so let's hope it launches worldwide! My avatar is a pic of the bottle by the way. I'm SO excited! : )

UPDATE: EA got back to me saying the pure parfum will be $98 US. What a great price for a 3.4oz parfum! Let's hope I wasn't misinformed. Haha. : )

One of the best gourmand fragrances I have ever owned.
Viva is a gorgeous combination of fruits, sweet florals and edible base.
It lasts a long time and sometimes I catch myself sniffing around at the workplace and wondering what smells so nice before I realize it is actually me :-)
Viva is a fruit salad served with chocolate truffles yet it is far from being cloying or sticky sweet.
It induces smile every time I wear it and i get compliments mainly from men, commenting that I smell delicious.
No wonder my vain feminine ego makes me wear it as often as possible :-)
The only downside is a massive, and I mean massive, bottle.
The overall idea of the bottle design was great but someone must have supersized it to the point when it does not fit into any of my handbags and even if it did - I wouldn't dare to take it out of my handbag in public because the bottle just looks grotesque - huge, chunky, heavy piece of glass with a pink ribbon, well, you be the judge :-)
The juice itself, however, is a marvel amongst gourmand fragrances.
Has the potential to become my signature IF they start producing it in slim bottles that look like perfume bottles :-)

wow. so many review here. but seriously this is the best. very funny story. my friend bought this first and i've always liked it so i bought one for myself. when i wore it, i didn't smell the same on her. on me, it kinda smell more to fresh than towards warm (on her, it is really warm sweet candy feel). then i didn't wear for a while. one day i sprayed some and my sister ask me what perfume i use and she said it was perfect on me. since then many others praised me too, it has become my HG since then. i really love it. but till now i can't smell it on me, but it makes people around me crazy. lol

Very yummy! The floral fruity description is very appropriate. I'm smelling the top and middle notes now, and I think it's kind of subtle on me. To me, the dominant notes are gardenia, blackcurrant, and honeysuckle; with vanilla and caramel shyly hanging out in the background- maybe they'll get a big more outgoing by the time the drydown comes along! It's great! I'm glad I got a mini of this! Next base: full bottle!

Update: Drydown is really nice- I didn't really notice this before since I was drooling over the original Juicy Couture! On the downside, most EDPs and EDTs last at least 9 hours on me, but this one kind of went very subtle after 5 hours- not too happy about that, but it is still one of my favourites!

I love the smell, I must admit. I don't know only the first fragrance of Juicy Couture, but it's on my way.

What can I say? Couture Couture and the fragrance Peace, Love & Juicy... are more powerful but this one is maybe the easiest to wear and the most girly. Couture Couture is sweet and extravagant, Peace, Love is too but it isn't that sweet. Viva La Juicy is the lightest of all three and sweet in a girly but not kitschy way. Actually it's close to cross the kitch line in my opinion, but it doesn't. It's addicitve. The only thing I don't like is that the fragrance stays close to skin - pralines and caramel are like body lotion, so close to skin they are. Ah, and it's too expensive when it comes to its lasting power. Lately it's one of my favourites and I've paid lots of money for 7, 5 ml - and it isn't easy to find the fragrance in my country.

So, I have had this fragrance 3 times. I just went out and bought it again today. It looks a tad odd among my Chanel No. 5 and Coco.

It is yummy, fruity and just so delicious! I wore this when I was a teenager so I know it works with my skin. It makes me feel more age appropriate. This is my 5th JC bottle all together! What can I say? Addictive!

This scent is very charming, light, with the gourmand, i smell yummy caramel and vanilla.

open it is good, the mandarin orange. . makes you feel fresh, not boring.

i've try the original couture.. and this is better.
that is why a man like it.

but, in my skin,first try it just for 4 hours, and the price is expensive.. one of the expensive perfume that i had. but i will not regret it.
the bottle, the smell is good.:)

The Juicy Couture bottles are ADORBS. The fragrances themselves have problems. This is just sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar. Somewhat repulsive actually. My non-fumehead friends can't get away fast enough when I put a sample of this under their nose.

The good news is that if you like Flowerbomb, this is similar and way cheaper.

I kinda agree with Nukekubi who said that it's not really a light scent! 2 sprits on a sample paper (+ another perfume sample) made my bf's room smell like high school girl's room. I had to throw the samples away. (Smell was nice but c'mon it's my bf's room and guys apartment.)

So if you ask me it's not light but still a good one. I also agree with many people that it's a very teenager scent but in a pleasant way. It's sugary and it is sweet. A delicious mixture of vanilla, caramel, chocolate and a hint of fruit or berry to freshen it up. It's enough to make your mouth water and I would brush my teeth well in the evening to prevent cavities.

It doesn't really fit my perfume profile so I wouldn't probably purchase it. Still I can see myself spraying a sample on myself on a day I wanted to feel really young and girly. (I'm still young enough to easily get away with it.) After all this scent is pretty fun. (Though hopefully not nauseating in the long run.)

P.S Don't apply too much or you'll probably cause migraines!

Smells really good. Sweet but not to sweet so it becomes sickly. I have VS SLTNT and i can agree with all who sais that it is a copy of this one.
They are both EDP,but since VS SLTNT isnt sold in my country, i have to buy this one when my VS SLTNT is empty. Its a pity that Viva La Juicy is so expensive :( Edit: After 10min or so,it does smell like a baby on me :s you know that cozy smell that babies skin smells like. I dont know which note that does it. But it is the same with Calvin Klein Obsession and Sheer Obsession,i need to compare the notes to see what it is that makes it. Idont get this baby smell from VS SLTNT though :D

You know, this stuff really frustrates me because it has no lasting power on me, and I've tried it on a few different occasions. The most recent one being: my boyfriend and I were in Macys and I had sprayed too much Dior Addict on before we went out and it was really bothering him and he said, spray something else to cover it up...(not that this is the best strategy) so we stumbled upon Viva la Juicy to cover up my addict. And, an hour later, all I can smell is Dior Addict. But that's probably because the notes blended really well with that potent Dior creation.
Another time I had sprayed Viva La Juicy was on a warm spring day while finishing up shopping and a lunch date. I could smell it for the first hour I had it on, and then when I asked my friend to smell it, she said she couldn't smell anything. It's a shame because gardenia + gourmand notes (caramel/vanilla) sounds heavenly if it lasted longer.

I do not like this fragrance at all. I prefer vanilla and nutty scents, and this has none to my nose. All I can smell is citrusy berries screaming for attention. This fragrance is quite linear on my skin, and does not seem to develope past the initial top notes. That is too bad. I was looking forward to the notes of praline. Bummer! But, my skin will simple not let go of those top notes. I am better off with a scent which features the creamier notes right from the start...such as Angel or Cashmere Mist.

This is one of the more rounded sweet scents I have found. It isn't strictly teen or young like a lot of sweets tend to be. It seems like most sweet scents get seriously geared toward the "younger" crowd. This sweet scent has some real depth. It would work well on any age. It's not sickly sweet either. It has that wonderful honeysuckle in it giving it more of a "rich" scent than a candy scent.

Usually, I'm not a fan of Juicy Couture's fragrances (I can't stand Peace, Love and Juicy Couture and Couture Couture.) However, I love this smell so much!!! It's a floral fruity gourmand. I'm so obsessed with sweet scents, especially ones with caramel. So, if you love sweet scents, try this out!

Going by the notes in Viva La Juicy, and by some of the glowing reviews of it, I would have thought this could be a lovely smelling perfume and possibly worth the not particularly cheap price tag. I had a feeling though that to me it might just be another overpriced and overrated 'of the moment' perfume. I tried it today for the first time and for me it certainly doesn't live up to the hype. It was OK to begin with although not exactly spectacular, and there are so many very sweet but kind of dull perfumes flooding the perfume market at the moment which smell so similar. After a very short time I grew tired of the musty, flat, sugary smell of Viva La Juicy and it started to fade very rapidly so the staying power was also bad. Although I'm loving quite a few gourmand perfumes at the moment, Viva La Juicy isn't one of them. I found it too sugary, slightly musty, boring and lacking in staying power. When I want a sweet kick from a perfume my go to yummy scent is Hard Candy which is far better than this and with a much smaller price tag! So, thumbs down from me on this one and I'd only give it 1 out of 5 for trying (and, in my opinion, failing miserably!).

Yeay! I just bought this perfume at Singapore. I Love this perfume so so much, it's such a delicious scent. I'm in University and I find that while this scent is really sweet, it's not overpowering or too young.

Just walking in a Shopping mall last week, I had someone whispering "that girl smells really good!".

And Yes, i agree that this perfume has no lasting power. Only 2 hours on my shirt and i have to re-spray for it to 'kick-in" but i don't care about that! :p

When i came into the parfumery lady who works there gave me a sample of this fragnance. When i sprayed it i was a bit shocked, but in a positive way. It was something that I haven't smelled for a long time. Viva la juicy is beautiful and very unique parfume. At the beginning you can smell beautiful mandarine and after that nougat mixed with honey. The drydown is absolutely marvelous. Jasmine with i think vanilla and nougat-beautiful :)

I bought the .5 oz at Target on a whim because I was looking for something new to pick up. I'm just glad I got the small one because I'm not so much a fan after trying it out a couple times. It is so incredibly strong and gets sweeter and sweeter as time goes on. On initial spray, it reminds me somewhat of what Burberry Brit is like after the dry down, but not nearly as complex or wonderful. Then after that initial spray, it gets sweeter and sweeter and honestly makes me sick. It stays on even after 8 hrs and scubbing it with a shower. So if I ever spray it again, it will be with me walking quickly into the mist. I might just give it to my sister

Sure, it smells amazing, but am appalled at the price paid ($99 for 100 ml) and the piss poor lasting quality of this fragrance...it is gone less than an hour after I apply!! I moisturize, I lotion/oil up before spraying any fragrance and this "Viva la Juicy" does not cut it....juicy for a few minutes yes, but then it is as though the air is one big paper towel that comes and wipes the scent clean off. Beautiful, lovely fragrance, horrid lasting quality for the price. Will not be repurchasing. Boo. :(

I got it for a present this past week. It smells terrific when first applied, but after a long while, it just feels sugary. I don't know, maybe it was because I was at work and I sweat a lot due to lifting boxes and stuff, but it doesn't happen with other perfumes. I had to apply more like two times. So... I just wouldn't recommend it.

This stuff is loud and powerful - and also delicious. If you don't like sweet gourmands, this will probably give you a migraine, it's sweet, sweet, sweet.

A lovely mix of very sweet berries, white florals and caramel praline. A strange combo, but it works. Again - only if you like sweet gourmands. The berry note is somewhat soapy, but in a fresh way, like a lovely berry shower gel. I'm pleasantly surprised that the white florals come through so nicely because they could easily have been overpowered by the sweet stuff.

Nice berry-vanilla drydown.

Please go easy with this stuff - one or two sprays maximum - or you'll knock out people around you.

Viva la juicy was given to me by a friend as a graduation gift and at first I didn't really like it, I thought it was too sweet and I wasn't too used to perfumes instead of body mist. I recently picked up the bottle and sprayed it on and received a compliment from my brother, who strongly dislikes perfume. It starts off kinda sweet berry/fruity and then leaves a nice vanilla scent at the end. It isn't ridiculously strong, either.

My sister wears this and it smells really divine on her. Very pleasant, fruity, quite delicious. I can't see why people say this is light - because on her the perfume is not light at all! You can really tell it's there, but it's not nauseating. I tried it on and the sweetness is really overpowering on me, and it's very sharp - the scent does not clash well with my skins chemistry and it reminds me a lot of those Britney-perfumes. Still, for a younger person with different skin this can smell really, really nice.

(Adding on to my review)
ALSO! Someone else pointed out that this fragrance is reminiscent of Tease by Victoria's Secret and they are absolutely right. I thought I was the only one who noticed the similarity! I own Tease by VS as well.
Although of course, Tease is a shallow and one-dimensional body spray the base note is very close to Viva La Juicy.

I am always brutally honest when writing makeup/fragrance reviews and I don't kiss a** to a popular or over-hyped products.... just throwing that out there ^__^
IMO Viva La Juicy is a very pretty fragrance. I feel that "pretty" describes this scent best. Youthful? Yes. Fun? Absolutely. Charming? Definitely. Sophisticated? Ehh. Sexy? No. Overpriced? I think so.
I'm 18 but usually opt for more complex fragrances.
I owned the original Juicy Couture in 2008 and was mildly obsessed with it. I wore it pretty much everyday, no matter where I went. It was a very versatile fragrance and, like Viva La Juicy, very popular.
I ran out of JC in late 2009 and soon began missing my most prized perfume :( Every time I went to Nordstrom I would spray this on and found myself falling for this scent. I would smell it over and over and just obsess over how lovely it was! But hey, I'm a young girl. What can you expect? ;-)
I finally got around to purchasing it a few weeks ago and for some strange reason, it was a lot more fun to smell in the department store. I got EDT and like most other reviewers, the lasting quality is less than impressive. The bottle is just so gorgeous that I had to place it on my dresser of vanity. Can you blame me?
I feel very pretty and girly when I wear this fragrance (which I think was the intended purpose). That might be why it's so popular?
However, yes I do think it's overpriced and yes I think it's an overrated scent. The crazy magazine ads for it might also be a reason for it's widespread popularity. I'm glad I have this in my collection, but I'm not entirely sure I would repurchase.
I like to think of it as a great summer buy! :P

Super cute, lasting power is amazing for a fruity floral gourmand. Sweet but not too sweet. Just juicy. Not too teenagey, but still youthful, doesn't give headaches. Fresh and clean, but still complex enough. Vanilla and caramel are done beautifully in here, it's not sticky sweet, I can get traces of black currant and mandarin orange aswell. Best fruity floral. Hands down:-)

I've been wanting this perfume for a long time. It was a toss up between this and Jimmy Choo and Jimmy Choo won due to been on offer that day.

I think this will definitely be my next purchase. It is such a sweet and sexy perfume without being too teenagerish. A definite winner in my book.

I love this one, and often receive compliments when i wear it. The bottle is also gorgeous and I think suits the sweet, sugary, flirty nature of the scent inside. I have the 50ml and am abit worried I'm going to run out as I love this one so much, so trying to make it last and only wear it once a week!

A little pricey and doesn't last very long (3 hours max) are my only problems with this. But overall love it!

Finally tried this one and made sure that it's not in competition for my next purchase of a feminine scent.

Viva La Juicy is basically a high school prom queen. It says, I'm young, I'm pretty, I'm rich, and I feel that I can do whatever I want, although I'm not quite sure what I want to do.

It would've worked well on a 16/17-year-old; but if you're over 23, you should forget about it.

I have a tiny bottle of actual perfume which was only $6 so i'm glad that i'm not out of lot of money. There are definanately fruit notes that are coming out right away, so i thought it would be your average fruity floral. Ah, no because only few minutes later it mellows out kind of fast into vanila and amber. I can still smell fruit(mostly mandarin, i don't smell berries at all) but there is definate tinge of sweet vanilla coming through. For lot of fragrances, its takes several hours to reach the base notes but with this, its only minutes. After you get to vanilla and praline, that's where it stays. Meh..Its not what i was expecting but still, its nice. I do think however, that this perfume is very overhyped and overpriced as someone already said. I mean, its nice but not to die for. I also have an issue, like many others with its lasting power. Can it possibly be any worse-i have perfume and it only lasts 1.5-2 hours. I can't even imagine how bad edt is. Oh, wait, i can-i just realized that when i was in store, i sprayed edt and it immeditately turned into skin scent. I remember thinking "are you kidding me?" Original JC is a very long lasting scent so i think this is a major flop in that department. I can see young girls liking this as its very sweet fruty gourmand scent, i can totally picture someone who likes JC clothes wearing this. This fragrance is very unoffensive and likable. I would say its a day scent that you can wear pretty much anywhere. However, while the scent is pleasant enough, its not worth the money due to somewhat average scent and terrible lasting power. Not a repurchase for me

I just tried a sample of this, and let me tell you, I can definetly see what all the buzz is about with this one.
Extraordinary! Yummy, rich and decadent seductive carmel power! Very sweet(but not sickening) and lilting. A "come-hither" scent all the way! I have to say,though,that I can't picture anyone over 40 wearing this. It does seem to be a more youthful scent, but I'm 34, so I guess I still have some time!

very fancy scent! smells girlish but expensive and stylish at the same time. very very sweet and warm. guess if i would wear this every day i would be quickly bored of it. reminds me to fancy by jessica simpson in some point, but this one is quite a bit over the top to enjoy it the same - it can become easily a bit sickening.

Viva la Juicy has a very good staying power, sillage is average. bottle stunning.

It is unbelievably gorgeous and hot! I love it because it smells like... Gold-washed sparkling fairy's skin. I know that is wierd but the smell is some sort of a fairytale.

However, I will not buy it because almost all the girls I know have one. I want to smell unique, not like every other girl who passes by.

Such perfumes are demanded JC! Churn out more similarities please.

This is my first fruity floral and I think that I've hit the jackpot.I never imagined that I would like it so much. It's predominantly floral and the fruit is blended in and not sharp or masculine at all. It's strong in a pleasant and very natural smelling way, just really juicy, as it says on the tin. The big heavy bottle gives it a sumptuous feel and it sprays well. But on me it has no staying power at all, and for that reason I would not buy it again, but I'm enjoying it by respraying often till it's finished.

I cannot imagine anyone not liking this perfume. It's just sort of the smell of exuberance, to me!

I suppose I always wondered why perfumes were so serious smelling when I was younger, subconsciously. I think it is why I was never a scent monger.

Now well into my 30s', they are making perfumes like this. To me, perfumes like these are the smell of happiness, not necessarily youth.

I like a stronger old school perfume, sometimes, when I want to feel powerful.

The scent is long lasting and fairly consistent in it's character, on me, for around 3-4 hours. That's a long time for a perfume to last on me, for some reason.

This is the scent that launched my interest in perfume for me, after all of these years. I have my 15 yr. old for introducing me to this scent and spawning a raging addiction to scent. I try to stick to the rule, "only buy if it's on sale".

I'd make an exception here. This stuff is NEVER on sale!

Young, fresh and sweet! But I wish it would last longer especially since it's an EDP and it's a lot more expensive than some edps that last a lot longer. Sometimes I can't even smell it after I spray it on.. Hmmm.. I have to spray 5 times to smell it.

There is something in this that makes the membranes in the back of my throat contract in horror. I'm not sure what ingredient is in there, but I'm certain I'm allergic to it.

It smells nice, but sort of common to me. It's not particularly "gourmand"...sort of a muddle of citrus and sweet at the top with something very strong and "dusty" taking up space (but that might be how I'm perceiving the allergen). The drydown is okay.

I returned this scent to the store, it wasn't that I didn't love it, it is just as yummy as people say it is. So why did I return it? I had bought Dana Forbidden Tabu about a month prior to purchasing this, and although they don't appear to share many of the same notes, on me they are identical. However, Forbidden Tabu cost me only $17, and I didn't feel I could justify spending more than twice that just to have the brand recognition.

I love Viva La Juicy! It's very sweet, smells fantastic. I mostly get the floral/vanilla smell. I was told that I may have to spray twice a day because it wears of after a few hours. They were correct. I find myself having to reapply halfway through the day. =[ When I was purchasing it, I couldn't decide between Viva La Juicy and Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I only slightly regret my choice... I was told Daisy would last much longer throughout the day (probably just one application a day). Each time I have to reapply Viva La Juicy, I worry how soon I will run out. I bought the 1 fl oz bottle.

Adding to my review:

I discovered that this perfume lasts longer when sprayed on my clothing or even my hair. It fades too quickly when applied to my skin. Still love it, though!

Viva La Juicy is a really great gourmand fragrance and thus far the only Juicy Couture I like enough to own. I had the original JC, however, I wasn't able to get into it and thus returned it. JC was more floral on me than anything and I'm not crazy about heavy florals but fortunately VLJ is more gourmand sweetness than white flowers which I love. Many recommend Viva for summer yet I believe it can be worn year round due to the warm caramel and praline base. Viva La Juicy is very delicious but I wish it lasted longer than 4-6 hours on my skin, as it is an EDP.
Overall I'd highly recommend this fragrance for any age group (not just young women) and any season.

8/10 for this versatile, happy, and sweet scent.

For days I was trying to figure out why one row of cubicles at my work smelled like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Come to find out, it was the perfume one of my coworkers was wearing. I asked her what it was and low and behold it was Viva La Juicy! Don't get me wrong, it smells really good in a 31 Flavors nostalgia way, but I never would have guessed these notes would have translated to that scent. lol. Interesting. :)

The first time I tried Viva la Juicy, I walked away from it with my nose way too high in the air!
I thought it was overhyped, too expensive, too girly, and too light. My best friend talked me into giving it another try when we found it on sale on TJ. So I ended up buying a bottle last year and I’m almost out of it I’ve used it so often! I still think Viva is too popular but I can see why now. Men love this scent! I have no idea why, maybe they just like fruity florals, or maybe it’s just a sexy scent. I always think it’s too light so I end up dousing myself in it, which is probably a huge mistake.

When my sister wears it, I always catch plenty of gourmand juicy sillage radiating off of her. I will buy another bottle when I catch it on sale again, since I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Viva La Juicy! In my perception this is far from a white floral scent, in fact I barely detect the heart notes at all. I smell a sweet yet tart bubblegum aroma blending with delicate vanilla and melting caramel. Oh and this perfume made me realize lighter scents create more sillage! I know that sounds crazy but it’s true. The longevity with Viva is at least 6hours, even when the wearer may not smell it anymore, other people still can!

Being 28 I had to come to grips and just deal with the fact that I really love this fragrance. Should someone my age be purchasing vials of Chanel? Maybe but my nose still finds its way to the sweet scents and Viva La Juicy makes me happy! Berries and slight citrus, caramel and vanilla dry down - a yummy summer treat!
My all-time favorite scent is Kat Von D's Saint and Viva is very similar - almost all the notes are the same (with the exception of Saint having plum citrus and this one having berry citrus) but I had to make the switch due to Viva having amazing staying power. I can jet 1-2 sprays on myself or clothes and the fragrance can be detected even hours later.
The bottle is lovely but a little loud. The scent will be great for spring/summer.

This scent is total yummyness in a bottle!
Light, soft, sweet, yummy, heavenly creaminess - absolutely delicious!
The caramel and vanilla are very prominent which makes you want to eat it!
I find myself constantly smelling the atomiser spray. I can not get enough of this scent.
Definitely a spring/summer scent.
I highly recommend this fragrance to all gourmand lovers! In my opinion it is the best gourmand scent there is.
The staying power is great, very long lasting! I can still smell this on me hours later.
I can not fault this perfume. It is perfection in a bottle!

I tried this the first time in the summer, which, for me, was a mistake. The gardenia took over and became a bit too heavy sweet. To be fair I also have to master the art of spraying just a "little bit" on my wrist when I test things--I put too much on the first time too and this is not one to over do. Now that it is very cold out I tested this again, being tempted by the caramel and praline notes which I love. Now with the right amount and the right weather I find this to be a lovely, well balanced perfume. It starts out a bit fruity, then flowers, the gardenia stays lovely, never overbearing, but very lush. The praline is just wonderful...it's not sticky sweet on me at all but rather it blends with the gardenia and makes it just yummy. I had my husband smell my wrist about an hour in and he said "That is gorgeous" (He likes perfumes:) True when he asked what it was I hesitated because I knew he'd laugh, and he did but that aside there is nothing silly about Viva La Juicy...if anything it is on the sophisticated side of gourmand.

At first, I didn't want to purchase because every teenager on the planet was wearing this one. However after Christmas, Burlington was having a 50% off sale of their perfume sets and I purchased a set for $17 (.5 ED Parfum, 1.7 Oz. shower gel, and 1.7 Oz. lotion) Now I want a larger bottle because this scent is absolutely delightful. ( It doesn't last long which is one thing I don't like! The .5 Oz will have to be my purse size because you will have to reapply after 2 or 3 hours. Upon first spray, I really can smell the berries and gardenia. For the woman over 30 don't be fearful to go out and try this scent...it is for the mature sophisticated woman too!

It has a very sweet almost sickly sweet smell out of the bottle. But once on the skin, it begins to smell warm and sweet, and takes on a pleasant, very feminine tone. But it is rather strong on me. Not masculine musky, but strong floral with a hint of fruit and feminine type musk. Warm though, for sure.

Don't ask me why I decided to walk knowingly and willingly down the path to a diabetic coma today, but I did. Perhaps it was the commotion and confusion of the coming new year.

Juicy Couture VIVA LA JUICY is a syrupy white floral. This is better than COUTURE COUTURE (to my nose, a grape jelly disaster) but not as nice as the original JUICY COUTURE (which is, I hasten to add, more likeable but still rather sweet for me...). My impression is that the perfumers may have mixed the two together and then thrown in a Big White Floral monster as well to ramp up the perfume-y feeling.

There is a lot going on here, and I do find the notes to be of decent quality, but my nose is basically paralyzed by the sweetness. I would recommend this fragrance to those who love both Big White Florals and Super Sweet Syrup--think AMARIGE, only with a modern twist and geared for younger wearers who have been weaned on sweets rather than chypres. Definitely not for me.

(whoopsie, put the review on the wrong one)

Wow, this starts off so promising. A fresh, clean, uplifting berry mix. The most beautiful and endearing synthetic fruit I have smelt in a long time. It was at this stage I was wondering what all my esteemed fellow reviewers were so critical of?

Sadly, this deteriorates into jam. Pure sugar mixed with fruit, heated and congealed into a pulpy concoction of dubious quality. There is a reason jam is put on toast with butter you know - to mitigate the gagging sweetness. It was at this stage that I realised my fellow esteemed reviewers had in fact been very charitable in thier reviews.

No indeed, even as a teenager I would not have worn this embarrassing cartoon-esque perfume.

Its not too sweet or overpowering.Sadly I doesnt last very long on my skin. I think I have to layer with a moistuizer before applying because it lasts for maybe 2-3 hours. The dry down is so warm, delicious and vanilla I love this!...Overall, really juicy and nice scent!

You know I should have went with my first thought.That told me not to get it:( I don't understand these notes. It's a huge mix of everything.It comes on slightly sweet then turn artificial like plastic, something melted.After a while it makes my stomach churn.I get a tiny bit of tuberose but not pleasantly.I smell absolutely no Carmel or amber.I have this available for a swap, if any one is interested.Full bottle :(

I just sprayed this on 2 minutes ago but so far so good, I'm getting the orange and honeysuckle right now I very much look forward to the drydown as all those notes are among my favorites. VLJ seems to stay very close to my skin which is fine, sometimes I like a not in your face scent. I'm now picking up some gardenia, a nice gardenia not an overpowering gardenia. We'll see if my husband likes it, he tends to like sweet scents on me and this one is not overly sweet but I think it will do...I'll at the very least use up my sample. Update: This may very well be a keeper, it just keeps getting better! The jasmine has showed up and it's also a little "fruity" now...in a good way!

I am really not liking this fragrance.

It has a nice opening. Black current and mandarin.

& the white floras are even ok, its just the base notes that arent so hip and cool with me. They are sickly sweet and it may be the praline i just aint feeling.

Its reminiscent of Britney Spears "Believe" and they both have praline. Surprisingly, i hate Believe as well.

I admit, i was going to do a blind but, just for the adorable package, but i'm glad i didnt.

Juicy Couture's "Viva La Juicy" is a very popular fragrance and I understand its appeal among the masses. It smells good and has decent sillage, and if given to me as a gift, I'd probably wear it. However, I'd never buy it for myself, simply because its composition has been done way too many times already. While testing this perfume on my wrist, my first impression was I've smelled this before. This fragrance is very identical to Kat Von D's "Sinner." While spraying both "Sinner" and "Viva La Juicy" on opposing wrists I couldn't tell them apart. They both have similar notes of boozy madarin oranges in the top notes and also vanilla base notes. They both actually can pass for Calvin Klein "Euphoria's" little sisters, except that they're not as headier, intense or sexier as "Euphoria." They're more like her flirty and impressionable litle sisters pretending to be an adult. I think "Viva La Juicy" is a good fragrance, but I think the original "Juicy" was a better fragrance. It had more originality, character, and personality. IMO "Viva La Juicy" pales in comparison to it's predecessor. Casual and modern scent, can be worn everyday and ideal for the fall.

OMG!!! I heard along the grapevine today that JC have DISCONTINUED Viva la Juicy!!!!!!! Can anyone confirm if this is correct?? Oh this fragrance is my absolute favourite. I rarely re-purchase perfumes, but this one I have gone back & again for a 3rd bottle! I LOVE IT and I can't imagine a world without Viva! (lol). Is this just a stupid mean rumour or is it true? Can anyone shed some light? Many thanks!

The note that I get the most in this is mandarin oranges. I usually hate citrusy perfumes but the touch of caramel makes it so good! Very sweet and delicious.

I just got this today. I'm thinking of collecting all of the Juicy Couture fragrances as I think that they are really good quality, youthful and original. I have the original in my collection, Couture Couture and now Viva la Juicy. This fragrance is lovely, different fom the first JC it's more floral than gourmand. This is sweet vanilla dominated scent. To my nose I can detect a tobacco or smoke note that is not listed but that I find very sexy. I find this scent sophisticated and intriguing a must try for the perfume collector. The dry down reminds me slightly of a more tamed Burberry Brit.

From a guys point of view, this Viva La Juicy is actually likable. I would say this is the 1st Juicy Couture that I tried and liked. The scent is quite creamy with sweet fruity floral caramel vanilla. It isn't overly sweet either. As it sets on my skin, it gets a bit synthetic which actually works well the whole palatte. This is a must give gift for all girlfriends out there. Put it on the wish list everyone!

Owh I love this frag! It smells so foody-delicious like something that you can eat right away!

To my nose it is more to fruity-gourmand frag as I can detect caramel and mandarin oranges in it.It has this soft and milky smells that I love so much!

The best part, it really turns my hubby on! ;)

Nah, I don't like it. I don't feel any floral fruity gourmand, I feel fruity, but so little that I might say it's even nothing. Maybe my chemistry. Or maybe because in the morning I tested Casmir by Chopard and that was a very powerful scent. That little something is actually beautiful, but not enough to have a bottle.

The fragrance
- - - - - - - - - - -

I was surprised to find I really enjoy Juicy Couture's VIVA LA JUICY. I don't like the brand in general and I dislike their first fragrance, but I love the subtle sweetness of this.


VIVA LA JUICY lives up to its name by opening with sweet and juicy notes of mandarin and a hint of strawberry. On me the top notes seem to mask the heart, so I can't detect any floral notes at all and the top notes seem to last longer. This doesn't really upset me; I'm not a great lover of floral fragrances.

It's the base of vanilla, amber and creamy caramel that really won me over. Yes, it's sweet. But it prevented from becoming syrupy and heavy by the creaminess and being close to the skin.


- - - - - - - - -
The bottle
- - - - - - - - -

The bottle is tacky, but fun. It's a simple squared design with heavy glass and the brand emblem on the front.

They've jazzed it up with a big pink bow around the bottle neck, the bow has a little charm that reads 'Couture' hanging from it. Then the designers jazzed up the bow by adding a gold coloured safety pin, which has a 'J' charm attached to it.


You can use the charms as jewellery - The safety pin would make a nice brooch.


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Other buying considerations
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

My main disappointment is the lasting power. It goes close to the skin after little more then a hour, while it's gone after four at most. If it cost less I wouldn't think it's that big a deal - freshening up sprays are easy enough, but as VIVA LA JUICY costs double the amount of many longer lasting fragrances I'm not impressed.

It does justify the cost when it comes to wearability. The fruits are light and airy and the sweet base is warming but non-cloying, so it is agreeable all year round. The sweetness is 'adult' enough for work and as it's close to the skin it's a good choice for intimate evenings out and for crowded clubs too.


- - - - - - - - -
My opinion
- - - - - - - - -

I really like this fragrance and have just used up my 50ml bottle, but I'm not going to replace it. This is mainly a cost versus lasting power - I personally can't justify spending the money when I know many cheaper products last longer on me.

The other reason for me not re-buying is there are many other fragrances that use the fruity top notes/soft florals/vanilla base* combination, so I can see myself becoming bored with VIVA LA JUICY in the not-too-distant future.


* For a cheaper alternative try Paris Hilton Siren EDP (online retail only).

At first,it is very warm and the caramel was the most prominent,mixed with the other top notes,makes a sweet,tart,girly smell.But now,it is the black current and the mandarin thta's the most prominent,the lasting power sucks,but the bottle is good to keep in a room as a decoration.

VLJ is a grown-up cheerleader: a lollipop-sucking lovely, bubbly & vivacious, a perky pink froot-shoot wake-up call in the morning.

She’s intent on embracing the current trend for all things 80's by backcombing & over-spraying her mango-shampooed hair, applying plenty of goey fruit-scented lippy & wearing plenty of eye-popping, foot stomping designer day-glo.

She’s a whirlwind of buzz on a candied fruit cocktail ship destined for the sunny side of life. WhoopWoo! You should hate her, she’s Miss Congeniality with balls on hyper-drive, but she is a comely, cheery creature beneath the chatter & the slap &, above all, she’s a refreshing bit of fun.

Understandably likeable for lovers of jolly, fruity frags but sadly on me it just doesn’t work. The fruit melange has a hair spray/plastic & slightly sour-off note on my skin, the floral-sweetness becomes too high, the strength & lasting power far too weak.

On the right person, this is a pleasant scent that will put a smile on your face. A little too bouncy for me - too perky, too bubblegum-cute, too dolls head, fruit chews & juicy tubes. I’d have loved an addition of some bitter leaves to go with all those fruits, a bit more sandalwood & a lot more staying power.

Sad to say but no staying power... but I do like it. I'm not very happy about this one, it smells really good but it's not worth the price, my opinion it just faded away after maybe 3hrs then you have to apply it again. I Like Juicy Couture better. This one has to be layered with the lotion and shower gel to make the scent last longer.

Is it just me but does the original Juicy Couture smell like Grandma?
Viva la Juicy is absolutely delicious. To me, it smelled like lightly simmered coconut over warm vanilla with a nice concoction of mild florals save the overpowering of that grandma shit. :)
It's like perfect. I actually can't decide if my Abercrombie 8 is better or not. And that was my number one.
Soooo overall speaking, viva la juicy has a classic appeal. No powder, thank goodness.

Finally tested and purchased this one today along with juicy couture (JC). I do find that JC stays on longer than the Viva La Juicy (VLJ). The VLJ spot on my wrist is almost totally gone unless it really is and I am imagining it being there.... I asked my hubby if he liked the scent when I got home and he said he doesn't smell anything...and this is like 2hrs after it was sprayed on my wrist. He did pick up and LOVED the scent of JC though.

It's now been like 4hrs since they both have been sprayed on my wrist and the JC wrist smells like I just sprayed it on whereas the VLJ wrist is unscented.

Makes me wonder if I should return the VLJ.....??????.... anyway I recall REALLY loving both at Kohls and I am happy I purchased them both. Maybe I will figure a way around it and possible carry the VLJ around with me so I can freshen up.

Anyway I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

this one smells sweet and cute, but very VERY light, my nose barely picks this one up. when i spray it i can't smell much but it leaves a pleasant, clean scent on my clothes. i prefer bolder scents so this not a favorite of mine, but i'd recommend this to anyone who loves a light hint of floral as their perfume :)

Sorry Schnuppernase but you are completely wrong! It's in the Top 10 sales list in Germany. Please get your facts right. And I think there is no need to attack other people's opinion about a certain scent only because you feel different about it. We all post our very subjective description, opinion and feeling about scents here. That's the purpose of this website.

I find this fragrance really interesting: so sweet, but not sugary, more like an expensive praliné. A bit floral, but not too much! SIMPLY YUMMY!!
I own the classic Juicy Couture, as well, but there´s a big difference between them. The classic one is fizzy sweet and floral, this one is only sweet and warm.

I like it very much!
I know it´s very popular in the USA, but I don´t know anyone German who wears this (I think it´s really sad that young people here aren´t so interested in such beautiful things).
For me, this is an exquisite and unique perfume.

There is someone here calling this "cheap". This person relates sweet with cheap. BUT there is a BIG difference between drugstore-sweet and prestige-perfume-sweet!!! "Schreib´s dir hinter die Ohren." (means: write it behind your ears)^^

I had so high hopes for this one, after all these reviews I thought this would be my new scent ... but I'm refusing. I thought it would be unique und exquisit but I think it's too much jasmine, too sweet and it's missing a powdery/herb antagonist that could make it interesting and different.

It smells like a bunch of girly girls with backcombed hair,too much make up, plastic fingernails who squeek the high c for 60 seconds when they greet each other.

Oh well! We've all been there! ;)

I've been wearing it for about four hours now, and I have to say I just can't seem to like any of the Juicy frags. It started out with loads of syrupy sweet orange and fake jasmine (which I hate), but I gave it a little while to change as it dried down. It didn't change much... way too sweet, with this horrible rotten-fruit smell that was reminiscent of the original. Right now, I get a slightly fruity/powdery note, but it's mostly gone. Definitely wouldn't buy.

Its yumminess in a bottle! Berries & Caramel!!! I LOVE it!!! Its the best Juicy scent! The orignal and Couture Couture are just awful to me. It smells just like a Grape Tootsie Pop to me. LOL! Im crazy!! I couldnt be more happy w/ it. I love the bottle and the bow and everything about it. Its perfection and do give it a try if u can. : )

I love, passionately love, irresistibly love, this perfume. I've never smelled anything like it & I adore it. It's like a caramel-vanilla sugary beautiful scent but not overwhelming for me. When I wear it I just want to eat myself! My boyfriend loves it too. You've just got to try it! Great work, JC.
But when will they bring out another Mens fragrance???? I think it's about time for one - They've shown they can do much better than Dirty English (which I'm not a huge fan of) so come on JC give us the goods!!!

Viva La Juicy is a very light perfume from it's top to it's base. I don't really get berries nor flowers, just a light sweetness of caramel, pralines and maybe some honeysuckle. It's easy to wear, easy-going, youthful and fun perfume. It draws heaps of compliments from men whenever I wear it. The bottle might be a bit tacky but looks interesting on your dressing table.

To my nose this one is the most wearable of all 3 Juicy Couture scents (actually I really dislike the other ones, especially Couture Couture).
It does not smell very distinctive, actually like most of the floral fruitys but the praline base makes it sweeter than other floral fruitys on the market. I would define it as a young scent, suitable for teens or girls in their early twenties.
Not my thing, but I probably would never buy a JC fragrance as I really hate everything about this brand. I know this should be the smell I should care about but I truly believe this brand just sells overpriced things which are really nothing special.

Well I admit I wasn't a fan of Juicy Couture Eau de Couture (I believe it was the pepper)so I avoided this one. However I received it in a sample set so I checked it out, and I like it.
I prefer it after a couple of hours because the dry down is nice. The beginning is quite similar to Avril Lavigne Black Star and Cacharel Amor Amor, both of which I "kind of liked" at first but grew tired of after an hour or so. Viva La Juicy is saved by it's dry down. I still don't see myself buying the big bottle though.

Oh, I could care less if someone loves it, hates it or only wishes to use it as a shoe deodorizer. Totally fine! I have given my fair share of harsh reviews. I don't mind. I was directing my comment towards your overall hatred for Juicy Couture fashion. Along with someone else comparing it to acne popping up through "cheap" makeup. Hence the snooty comment I typed. Seeing as how this is a perfume forum I don't see how commenting on what grown women wear clothing wise applies to perfume. Personally, I don't care what people wear. It's none of my business. Everyone has their own style and look, from Gothics to Hippies. I'm 36 and would squeeze my apparently "elderly" butt into some overly expensive velour with a cutesy phrase across my cheeks if I had the body for it. I don't care what fashion standards I am supposed to fit into. I'll continue to wear my boots, spritz on my "loud" perfume and enjoy my life. :)

To each their own.

One of my favorite scents is called Acqua di Gio, and I saw it being bashed and compared to "toilet bowl cleaner" in one review. Was I upset? Of course not! Each one of us is entitled to an opinion - isn't it the purpose of this forum? As for Viva la Juicy, I believe it is a fair representation of the brand. Juicy Couture seems aimed to girls in their teens and early twenties, but somehow it became a sensation among fully grown women.(At least in my corner of the world.) The line is mostly comprised of pastel-colored, inexpensive but overpriced velour sweatsuits with cutesy (and shimmery) words across the bum, message tees and other teen-oriented items with the Juicy logo printed all over - which is perfectly fine for a teenager. Nonetheless, I can't help but squirm at the sight of women in their 30's and 40's dressed like that. Not only does it look caricatural, but it exposes an abundance of things that are best kept covered. As I said, I disliked this scent way before I found out what it was, but once I did it made sense. It seemed like a mishmash of extremely sweet scents and harsh patchouli bottled together. It was also attention-grabbing, and it permeated everything in sight. It was as if a very young girl tried to put an outfit together and wound up looking like a jumble of several shades of pink and red. She looks adorable because she is a child. As an adult, she would look plain odd. PS: Thank you for correcting my spelling mistake. English is my third language, and I am still in process of learning it. (Guess I'll always be.)

I do not know what there is to abhor about Juicy Couture. I like their styles, love their boots 'especially' and find their fragrances to smell very,very nice. I even love the name Juicy Couture! Sure, they're very expensive and I can't walk in off the street to buy whatever I want whenever I feel like it, but every once in awhile I am able to afford a bottle of perfume or a pair of those boots and it makes me happy........

Just as this perfume does. :D I love it. It's sweet and a little sexy. I guess you'd find this boring if you're into perfumes that have 1000 ingredients in them that were jetted in from exotic islands from all over the world, but not all of us are looking for something that complicated. This is a pretty scent. Not unique, but suits me just fine.

I don't understand some of these snooty reviews....

There is one thing that unites all Juicy Couture fragrances - a boring, plane and predictable base.And though all of them start out rather happily - here it`s pretty white flowers, squeeze of citrus juice, bite of a berry - the vague and mumbling base comes fast, erasing everything that was supposed to be good in this perfume. Wearing it is like hiding a huge zit under cheap make up - sooner or later it will rise and shine...through.

There is so much more better and cheaper perfume carrying the similar message - sometimes horribly underpriced - and to see all those juicy monsters popping out on the market is causing me pain.

Juicy Couture represents everything I abhor in fashion, and this fragrance is no exception. In fact, I did not even know this was Juicy Couture until I asked someone what she was wearing after months of encountering the same smell everywhere I went. I find it a very loud, somewhat soapy berry scent on a base of caramel, praline and patchouli. In my corner of the world (USA), it seems that this reached a peak in popularity about a year ago, and now it seems to be fading. Thankfully ...

This smell is lovely! I though it would be a tad more sweeter as I lurrv gourmands, but it's sort of delicately sweetened so I'll give it credit.

i can DEFINITELY see how someone can smell the similarites to Hidden Fantasy by Britney Spears. They both have a citrusy sweetness to them that is very comforting. Yet Viva is a more
"open fruitiness" and more of an ambery sweet instead of a stright for creamsicle sweet like Hidden. I like both scents very much, but i appreciate Viva a lot more. It is more diverse and elegant. I love it! and it is addictive! I cant really explain it. I smells more fruits that anything. Yet its floral and sweet at the same time....so yummy!

I cannot understand for the life of me why this scent is so popular. It is utterly unremarkable, even unpleasant. It's a mishmash of sugary notes that do not blend-- rather, it's muddled. The original Juicy Couture, however, is composed beautifully, even if it is a little bit rococo in its aesthetic.

I bought the small, cheap rollerball of this scent on a whim after reading rave reviews (despite my better judgment). Now I'm stuck with it. Oh well, since it's so popular I'm sure I can pawn it off to someone!

I like to spray it in my long hair, and people always ask what smells so good, even boys! It smells very warm and enticing, but don't wear too much! The scent lasts pretty long, yet becomes subtle. I can picture it being worn at a nice dinner party or a date with candlelights casting a glow on your face... it's very sexy!

Absolutly gorgeous! The luscious mandarin notes are cleverly blended with floral and gourmand notes - with a little patience you'll detect an irresistable hazelnut praline and vanilla/caramel scent.It's almost like mandarins dipped in pralin chocolate scented with florals.

I do really like this perfume, it's gorgeous and fresh. I wear it to work. It has zero staying power on me though... I have to re-apply in the day, might be just my bottle though the tester seemed to linger a lot longer. It does smell very citrusy on my skin though.. the mandarin note seems to stay with me for ten minutes and then disappears along with everything else :(

I like this better than the first Juicy scent. It's lighter and sweeter. It smells just like a Victoria's Secret fragrance I have though. Not very original. It doesn't last very long either. I keep a roller ball in my purse and I apply throughout the day.

Love, love, love this perfume! I got a free sample of this scent with a perfume purchase, and ever since I used that sample I am obsessed! I needed to have it, and I was able to get it from Perfume.net at a great price. And, I used coupon code PVPNF, which gives you an extra 15% off your purchase.. happy shopping!

This doesn't smell like Hidden Fantasy, IMO. This smells soooo much better!

The top notes smell like a creamy caramel candy with a kick and the drydown is a caramelish vanilla smell. This is amazing. One of my favorites

Viva la Juicy is not yet available here in the Philippines. I had a hard time searching for this perfume. At last! There's one supplier in ebay.ph! But she only got 1 piece of it. so I bought it immediately.
I was surprised to discover that its a light perfume. Its not in-your-face sweetness. But you can smell the delicious dry down of caramel and praline! ahhh... It smells good when sprayed in the afternoon. It fits well in our weather here. You smell the yummy notes without smelling like food. The flower accord lingers perfectly.
and the Good thing is, Viva makes me unique, because not too many people in our country owns viva, they dont even know viva exist :P

Right away I can most all the notes listed..berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, sandlewood and just a hint of praline. I don't really get much vanilla. Let me just say, Viva La Juicy isn't my favorite fragrance but my goodness it fetches the compliments! I was at a physician's office today for the first visit. I literally squirted myself once on each wrist & once on the neck. A gentleman in the waiting area told me I smelled nice. The receptionist complimented me! But, what I really fascinated me was when the Doctor came in & told me he couldn't wait to enter the room because the scent was wafting by the door. My initial thought was it's too strong! He then sat down & came toward me, asked me a health question then said, "I have to ask you what perfume you are wearing". It is intoxicating! I told him the name & he said that's a good name for it because it smells "Juicy"! I have NEVER been complimented on a fragrance by a physician & I always wear fragrance to the doctor's office. Everyone at work compliments me when I wear this. I'm thinking I need another bottle!!!

Got it today and I really like it. I'm going old school here, but does anyone remember those Avon Comfort Scents that came out about ten years ago? I think Viva la Juicy smells like the Stonewashed Blue one. I think there was like 4 of them. Sprayed it and it took me back to my early teens! Wow, reminds me of good times.

This perfume didn't win my vote. I guess I expected it to be a little sweeter because I'm really into sweet perfumes but it was sharp and that sweet at all. It reminded me alot of Victoria's secret Super monde which I already own. guess in all I like it it just wasn't anything differnt about it to me. I hate I spent so much money for a scent I already had in Super Model.

I was surprised to find I really enjoy Juicy Couture’s VIVA LA JUICY. I don’t like the brand in general and I dislike their first fragrance, but I love the subtle sweetness of this.

VIVA LA JUICY lives up to its name by opening with sweet and juicy fruit notes. One me the top notes seem to mask the heart, so I can’t detect any floral notes at all. This doesn’t really upset me; I’m not a great lover of floral fragrances.
It’s the base that really makes me reach for VIVA LA JUICY. Yes, it’s sweet. But it prevented from becoming syrupy by the creaminess and being close to the skin.

Despite being close to the scent, the lasting power is still very good. The bottle is gaudy, but fun. The price is a bit steep, so this is a special treat.

This one doesn't scream OMG!! I HAVE PERFUME ON!! LOL! It is a very nice, sweet, mildly floral and light perfume. It's quite enjoyable. I don't really smell the citrus notes...? o.0 But I do smell the delicious caramel and praline. Even though it isn't a heavy scent it lasts and has good sillage. The bottle looks cute in the picture but in person it is rather tacky. Well, give it a try you may be pleasantly surprised. ;')

I was at Kohl's and saw this perfume while I was waiting in line. And it got me right away. It is a sweet smell but the undertones do bring it down where it's not so sweet it gives you a headache. I love it. And I am not a teenager, I am 32. My husband loves it too, he calls it "Viva la booty" LOL!!

its a light scent...nice for the summer even though its seems to have been developed for the younger generation its still somehow sophisticated...if you see what i mean..its not an uninteresting perfume. i still think its quite expensive...

the bottle looks tacky in a way but then you pick it and its so heavy and 'expensive'...the smell is commonish initially but then you wait a bit and it gets interesting...this is a very suprising perfume...

I have the original Juicy and smelt this in a magazine strip and had to have it. It starts of very girly-fruity-sweet (Top notes : Wild berries and juicy mandarin) and then the drydown is a little more sophisticated with Middle notes of Honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine. Im not normally a big fan of these flowers but in this mix they are nice. Base notes : Amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and praline - the base reminds me somewhat of the original, this would be suited to a younger fan I think due to the sweetness in it. I'm 27 and wonder if it's too young and girly for me, but then i say what the heck and wear it anyway. Its not really a delicate floral though, it has a robustness behing the sweetness which gives it a little kick of sophistication and saves it from being cloying and sickly. Not sure if I'd repurchase, but Im happy to have a bottle.

It smells nice. Thats it just nice. I can see why people are so fond of it but I would imagine that I would get bore of it if I had a bottle. It smells sweet and fruity definitely got the mandarin though I thought it was pineapple. Can wear everyday. I agree it smells like the one by Dolce but better. It is more complex where The One falls flat.

Im freakin obsessed with this one! Juicy Couture and Elizabeth Arden did a wonderful job w/ Viva La Juicy! Its 100x better then the original Juicy Couture! Its kinda funny that Elizabeth Arden makes both this and Britneys Hidden Fantasy because i find they smell so alike. I love them both but i think Hidden Fantasy is my fav or the 2. I love Hiddens bottle more and the price is so much less! Still, Vivas a wonderful scent. If your looking for a cheaper substitute for Viva do give Hidden Fantasy a try!

I like this perfume alot. It is not as sweet as it seems. At first it smells sort of fresh and minty on me. Then it turns more floral and the caramel-pralin notes appear. It's a very romantic scent prefect for a date. I would say that if you like Thierry Muglers Angel you will love this one aswell.

2 GuestHelpMe, you should get the Viva La Juicy. Juicy Couture isn't really all that sweet, IMHO. I don't get how people think it's sweet. It's more floral. Viva La Juicy is very sweet/Gourmandy. It kinda smells like a Caramel Pie or something. It's wayyy better than the original, IMO. It also feels like everyone on earth has the original.

I want to buy Viva La Juicy or Juicy Couture perfume but I can't find them where I live. So my friend suggested she send me either Viva La Juicy or Juicy Couture. But the problem is I don't know which one is better for me. I love gourmand fragrances, warm and almoust edible.. And I suppose Viva La Juicy is more me, but I'm not sure would I like it. I don't like too much floral notes, when floral are main notes you can smell, don't want to smell sharp like I'm wearing some "old lady" cologne xD. Can you help me (I like Vera Wang Princess if that's helpful) what would you suggest?

Viva La Juicy is definitely a foody fragrance. It is very pretty, and very sweet - a tad too sweet for my liking I think.

I like the idea of the praline & caramel, but these notes are what makes it too sweet.

I would like to smell this on someone else (if they do not spray too much) but I will stick to the original Juicy once my sample runs out.

Not for me.

It's all right- I love the notes on their own, but I haven't decided whether or not I actually like it. It's certainly not my thing- being too individualistic to own anything by Juicy, alas- but I do like it better than the first scent. Definitely gourmand, but I agree with a reviewer who said something about the white flowers giving them a headache!

I don't mind this fragrance and I can certainly understand its popularity. It is very girly, sweet and playful.

It is a little similar to Miss Dior Cherie I thought, yet there is a softer more powdery blend of vanilla, gardenia and jasmine. I can see why it is so commonly worn by young teen girls.

In the US I have heard that both this fragrance and the original Juicy Couture are best sellers, however in Australia it is not so popular which allows me to consider buying this seeming that not many people wear this fragrance.

The bottle is really cute, yet I'll be honest and say that I'd probably feel a little embarassed having it on my dresser because it looks a little childish.

I do like this fragrance a lot, but I doubt I'd ever purchase it because I feel that I have way too many sweet and gourmand scents in my collection. I'm aiming to buy more grown-up fragrances that I can love and wear for many years to come. I'm sorry, but I just don't see myself wearing Viva La Juicy when I'm 30 years old.

The lasting strength was great, I didn't have a problem with that at all. I thought the sillage was also quite good and more than often a few sprays was enough to last the entire day.

The same concept of a sweet ambery perfume done over and over. I prefer Fancy to this, because at least it is full on delicious vanilla with florals. This is basic and light, with zero lasting power. The price you pay is for the heavy bottle. Unfortunately it is not the roll on's fault that it doesn't last. It's the perfume itself. Juicy Couture is overrated. Both are linear perfumes with common notes. I like them for awhile and then realize it's not worth the money.

Even though they classify this as floral fruity gourmand, once sprayed you can definitely smell the gourmand in it, but to me smells kind of androgynous; and once your skin and the perfume fuse you get a burst of slight florals and warm caramel, Wonderful

I thought it was going to smell a lot more floral-fruity than it did. The fruit & floral notes fade quickly and then it smells very warm, but still light. On me it smells like really buttery caramel.

ok, i purchased it yesterday and i am returning it!
i used the sample and it completely wore off wihin a few hours and this is not the type of bottle you wana carry around all day and keep re-spraying especially because of the price!
im VERY dissapointed that it didnt last because it could be a lovely perfume, the middle note of jasmine kills it unfortunately..to me the floral notes overpower the whole fragrance.

This one really doesn't smell anything like the original Juicy. I love the fruity top notes, but they disappear quickly. The base notes are a warm inviting vanilla amber and caramel, which are very nice.

It's a very nice scent, but I'm disappointed how fast it disappears. After an hour, I can't even smell it when I put my wrist to my nose---which is too bad since this is pretty pricey!

I agree with everyone who said it was yummy, the scent is very much like an orange-cream, pina colada scent, however after about half an hour the white flowers are really potent and can give me a head ache. Over all I think it's a nice fragrance, I doubt anyone will be like "yuck!" but it's also a bit trendy. The Sean Jean fragrance for women, the gwen stefani lamb, and harajuku lovers G scent are all very similar in feeling and scent notes.

Wait a few seasons before buying this... that way you can be really sure if you like this fragrance for the long term.

Umm Yummy Yummy!! I got 2 bottles because I know its going to go pretty quick. I didnt like the other Juicy perfume at all but this one is so sweet and fruity with warm spicy notes. The honeysuckle is a nice addition and the caramel really stands out! I love it! Not sure if its just me but it seems to fade quick though :( I dont care because its lovely! People are always saying "You smell soo good!" when I wear it.

I was anticipating this fragrance and was so excited when i got my sample. unfortunately, on me the floral dominates all other notes in this perfume making it a heavy floral with no hint of the other beautiful notes. such a shame, i was really looking forward to smelling the blackcurrant, caramel and vanilla. this is probably one of those perfumes that smells so good on other people, but loses it complexity on my skin.

Viva la Juicy is a brand-new best-seller created under the trademark of Juicy Couture and licensed by Elizabeth Arden's cosmetics company. Those popular brands couldn't possibly afford to make a cheap boring perfume which would be soon discontinued. I'm just in love with this sophisticated and rich scent!!! Since the olfactive group is not listed here I would suggest it's Oriental Fruity. But the fragrance is not heavy at all, it's radiant, modern and long-lasting. The first notes I detect are fragrant honeysuckle and delicious caramel. To my mind Viva la Juicy shows some resemblance to Hypnose by Lancome and The One by Dolce&Gabbana but it still smells unique and wonderful. Five stars.
