Viva La Juicy Gold Couture
Juicy Couture (2014)

I purchased this recently online for the first time. I have had the history of not smelling a lot of perfumes on my skin. When I tried this, I couldn't smell anything. But today I used a clean scent body mist on my wrist and then sprayed Viva La Juicy Gold Couture on top of it. Oh, was it Heavenly. I adore gourmand fragrances and I'm really loving this one. It's also long lasting. I plan to buy more.

Hate the pedestrian brand if you want, but honestly this perfume does smell good, albeit in a slightly generic candy sort of way. The bottle is punk/trashy and juvenile, it honestly looks like either Cyndi Lauper or Madonna designed the bottle based on their clothing back in the eighties. Candied gourmand fragrances are usually not my style, but something about this one was somehow appealing. It's not toothache-inducing, sickeningly sweet which is a plus. The hint of flowers cut through the sweetness and balance it out. It still has a very edible feel though. My husband often doesn't comment on my perfume but he noticed this one. Longevity could be better, I have to reapply half way through the day.

This is an absolutely divine berry-vanilla perfume! This is now the second caramel-vanilla based scent that I've tried in a couple of days, the other one being Prada Candy. Between the two of these, this is far superior to Prada Candy, and if you were looking for a sweet, gourmand, vanilla-caramel perfume, I highly recommend that you try this one! You won't be disappointed! Unfortunately, I only just learned that this was, in fact, a limited edition scent from last year. So, it probably was never mass produced in the quantity that other Juicy Couture perfumes were, and may be harder to obtain,which is a shame because it smells so wonderful! But, if you can get your hands on this one, and you're a fan of vanilla perfumes in general, you definitely need to try it! In case you absolutely cannot get this one anywhere though, I will also mention that it smells quite similar to LA VANILA perfumes as well, owing to the fact that the notes are a very similar mixture of vanilla, jasmine, honeysuckle and fruity notes as some of their other scents! So, if you can't get this one, LA VANILA is also another brand I would definitely recommend trying instead of this. Or, it's also a great brand to replace this perfume once you run out, since you probably won't be able to buy this same one again! I also think that either the vanilla perfume from The Body Shop or Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body Works layered with a berry scented lotion or body mist would probably come across smelling very similar to this perfume too, but just buying an LA VANILA scent is probably faster and easier! :)
