Juicy Couture (2006)
by Juicy Couture

Now when you see the mega cutsie over the top glam " I have a beverly hills chihuahua" kinda packaging of this scent- you are starting out biased. Add to that, the 2 owners of Juicy Couture themselves say that this is what Barbie might wear..... yes....pass the dog carrier..
I was expecting a bubbly gummy ,pinky froo froo scent but it actually very well done quite subtle and chic fruity floral - not like the standard mush out there in dept stores.
Pretty and chic in a modern way. There is nothing 'dirty' in this fragrance.
It is not gourmand despite the sweet notes in this scent - the sweetness never goes OTT and it all does calm down rapidly to a pulsating greeny floral on me. Long lasting, well done .

Fruity floral: The first couple of times I tested it, it seemed very young and bubble gummy to me… In subsequent testings the fruity accord become less obvious and the florals and patchouli moved into the background of the opening… much better, this alternative way. The floral middle gradually grows stronger… tuberose, rose and lily… and soon the florals overcome the sweet fruity opening to create a much better fragrance IMHO. As a floral, Juicy Couture is an attractive, well-balanced fragrance. I get mostly a tuberose and lily without any indole action, and it’s a very lovely feminine accord. The tuberose and lily are backgrounded by a very light patchouli / wood which moves in and out of the heart accord. The base is not as sweet or as gourmand as I thought it would be looking at the pyramid. On my skin it turns out quite subtly dry / sweet with an excellent smoky patchouli winding through it. This is a delightful fragrance.

I haven't smelled this on anyone else, but on me it becomes an offensive and terribly sweet fragrance, muddled with other notes that just turn it into a synthetic mess. It is very youthful, and perhaps could work on the right girl, but I frankly have a terrible opinion of it.

This is a lovely fragrance. I bought a bottle for my mother and love smelling it once in a while out of the nice-looking bottle. I even ended up spraying it on myself before and let's just say there's no confusing this one for a unisex fragrance. I'm not sure how strong it is compared to other female fragrances but its strength seems just right to me. This is a solid choice for women of all ages.

I love the Juicy fragrance line (can't say the same for their clothes). Juicy is completly different from Viva La Juicy (I like them both). I love the etched glass bottle with the beauitful crystal stopper, and the charms/ neclace that decorate it. Juicy is primarly a floral fragrance with powdery undertones. There is also a presence of turbose, rose, watermelon, and citrus. The citrus and rose keep it very light and springy while the watermelon gives it a sweet kick. Juicy is a floral fragrance on me with a little hint of sweetness. This is a great perfume for summer or warm weather (In Florida where I live, it's almost summer year round). It is a stronger scent that last a good part of the day on me (About 4-5 hours) but it is not overpowering at all.

I would definitely agree that Juicy has a very light sugary edge to it. The tuberose is light and pleasant. I've only worn mine a few times but have had lots of compliments on it already. It is a very youthful feminine scent that somehow manages to miss being "too girly". I would recommend it, it does seem to be one of those scents that would smell good on anyone.
