Every now and then I will smell a fragrance on a blotter card that will make me cringe, this one gave me a toothache. It was like spraying raspberry jam, pecan pie and caramel onto a blotter card. I realize this works for a lot of people, but for me, it was too much.
The floral notes in Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy don’t really stand out. They are hidden behind raspberry jam-filled doughnuts. It smells like caramel and pecan pie. The base is a creamy vanilla with woods. Honestly, the note that makes me cringe is its nuttiness. For some reason, this is too much for me.
Notes listed include wild berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, caramel, sandalwood, vanilla and pralines. Launched in 2008.
Viva La Juicy is worth trying if you like gourmands. Just because it didn’t work for me doesn’t me it won’t work for you!
It’s available at Sephora and Amazon.

I hate this one too!
i love that you hated this purfume! i actually like it! the first time i wore it I had a TON of men ask me what I had on because THEY liked it so much. I’d buy it again just because of that! 😉
Shhh…don’t give away your secrets of seduction! 😉 Sounds like some powerful stuff, maybe I should try it again…but, I’m more of the Original Juicy type of gal. That one gets me compliments. They say men like sweet scents. I believe it.
