So for my first fragrance post I wanted to talk about and oldie but a goody.
Juicy Couture's 'Viva La Juicy' is certainly not a new breaking ground fragrance, however it is one that has stood the test of time and actually had a wonderful 'relaunch' or re-promotion over the 2012-2013 new year period which did miracles for boosting sales.
I first discovered this fragrance when working as a pharmacy assistant and although we never seemed to have this particular scent in stock the tester was slowly going down as it was always a staff favorite. Now, almost three years on and I finally own a bottle.
before we get into the actual scent and it's notes, we have to take a second to admire the bottle. With the traditional Juicy Couture bottle shape and the wonderfully extravagant gold logo on the front this bottle was already a winner but match it with the hot (and I mean HOT) pink bow, an adorable 'couture' sign and a slightly over sized pin I am in bottle heaven.
The pump is your bog standard spray, however I personally have never had a problem with this one and I have had many issues with previous bottles of other fragrances.
I am certainly not the best a picking out notes but the overall scents are white floral, caramel, vanilla and citrus. I personally think there are also hints of amber that come through on the skin (although my skin holds amber notes indefinitely). The longevity of this perfume is wonderful. Even after several hours of wear I can still pick up hints when moving around and I have had people point out the scent up to 10 hours after application and that to me is a great wear time.
One negative point on this frangrance as that it could certainly be overwhelming for certain people when applying, I do not think so but I see that some people might find it a bit much. As far as people around you I do not think this scent to be offensive at all.
Viva La Juicy retails for $119.00 at various retailers including David Jones, Myer and Priceline.
I would love to know a few other opinions on this frangrance as I have never heard a negative word.
