My Favourite parfum!!! I love it
bizukr – :
A word to the wise for anyone who is looking at this scent with the intent to purchase. Do not bother with the “tester” bottles on discount sites and the like. I am 99% sure this fragrance (along with several others from Juicy couture) has been totally reformulated. When I tested this at Kohl’s, I got a knock-your-socks-off rich smoky plum + jasmine. I was taken aback by how sophisticated yet deep it smelled. It was the first perfume that made me reconsider my hatred for jasmine. I couldn’t stop thinking about that tester strip I sprayed. The fragrance lingered on that strip, on me, and even in the air of the entire fragrance aisle after I had smelled it.
Fast forward to about 6 months later. I purchased a 3.4oz. bottle for my birthday online for a very discounted price. When it came to me right away I was a little doubtful that I was smelling the same fragrance but went ahead and put it up as it was spring time and I thought I’d give it a few months until the weather cooled down before I decided to test it again. Well the past few weeks we have had on and off cool and rainy temperatures. I tried it again.
What I get is a very synthetic honeysuckle jasmine perfume. It smells like a glade air freshener. I’ve also smelled this note in many other Juicy Couture perfumes I’ve tested lately. My suspicion is when they reformulated their perfumes they really downgraded on that note and instead of it blending nicely into their old compositions, it sticks out like a sore thumb and messes up the entire fragrance.
But the most disappointing thing of all is it’s longevity. I am not joking when I say I must have sprayed this at least 15-20 times before I walked out the door. Not even 30 minutes later I could barely smell anything there. I sprayed it on my hair, pulse points, other patches of skin, backs of my knees, and even on my dress. I couldn’t smell it anywhere besides the faintest hint on my dress. And there it didn’t have the warmth of skin to soften the cheap synthetic air freshener notes. By the time I arrived to my destination not a single trace was left.
I am absolutely disappointed, but luckily I am not out too much money. I will probably use it for what I believe it smells to be intended for: a room freshener. I will probably not be trying any more Juicy Couture fragrances. I am appalled at the drastic drop in quality they have displayed. No wonder they can be found at stores like Ross & Marshalls, and even there they are way overpriced.
Вовенто – :
Like pretty much every fragrance from Juicy Couture, I can’t pick out the individual notes of this at all. The most apparent scents are the amber base note and a well-blended white floral accord. This is a more mature fragrance than its cousin Viva La Juicy and all its flankers. However, to me, it’s a pretty generic. Once I use up my mini vial, I won’t be trying to find it again. Like nearly all the Juicy Coutures, this lacks in sillage (on skin; I haven’t tried it on clothing), although its longevity is a little better. Although this became a skin scent almost instantly, the scent has managed to stay on my skin for almost 7 hours now, which is fairly impressive for me.
P.S. If you really like Couture Couture, check your local Ross stores. My local ones have it for $19.99, which is still cheaper than Ebay prices.
EDIT: Tried it again because I couldn’t remember if I’d tried it or not. It smells like hairspray tonight. The floral is chemically strong and unpleasant – reminds me of every lotus note I’ve ever smelled.
If you like this frag and want to swap for my vial, let me know.
robot123456789 – :
I love this smell, it reminds me to the smell that remains in your hands after you hand peeled oranges, mandarins, pomelos and pink grapefruit… that is the oils without the juiciness. Although it reminded me to my grandmother perfumes, after asking my mother to compare she told me it was Madame Rochas… Yes, Madame Rochas but newer, fresher. I love this!
Not all perfumes are for everyone, and my taste is so different to most, so I guess many will dislike it… for me this is a gem!
galenvagen – :
If anyone wants to boost the lasting power of JCCC, I have found that using it with Bath and Bodyworks Midnight Pomegranate lotion or bodycream works great! They smell so good together.
lisss62 – :
There are two problems with this this scent: longevity and sillage. Those are pretty big problems, depending on your view. I came of age in the 80’s and 90’s, so I appreciate a powerhouse perfumes. Couture Couture is so close to being a great scent; it’s delectable, floral/sweet, like a bubblegum-floral, cute bottle, but you just can’t quite get a full blast of the smell even immediately after application; it’s frustratingly elusive. Then, in just hours, 3 or so, only a hint is left on the skin. I want more of this scent, but alas, it just can’t deliver. I still would say I love it, though, I just would not repurchase it.
jxm678intitytek – :
I can only agree with Sharyssa! LOVE this!
bodibuildi5 – :
This is not a brand I would brag about wearing since I like to think I am way too cool and sophisticated for JC overall. However, this is very wearable and pretty, not too sweet, not too flowery and not too strong. I wouldn’t say this is a stand out holy grail scent but this is nice. Sometimes, it is ok for a perfume to just smell pretty.
лётчик – :
I dont love this one as much as I though I would, based on the notes (especially when I love how plum works on my skin), probably because of the amber in here that I don’t appreciate that much?
It is still a nice sweet and a tat powdery/plummy fragrance in the dry down though, just at the bottom of my likes from JC fragrances (Viva La Juicy Rose, Viva La Juicy Noir, Viva La Juicy Glacé, Couture La La, and the original JC EDP) 🙂 I’m still keeping it.
Btw, mine was bought at Marshalls for $29.99 plus tax (3.4 oz bottle). It only came with a removable Pink zipper hung around the bottle neck and did not have the JC hanging charm tag as seen in here or any original retailed package. The bottle shape and the cap look the same. I believe it still has the authentic juice inside, just different packaging for economic purpose.
Dariy13 – :
Starts off a cloying white floral to my nose, but that dries down after about 15-20 minutes to a rather pleasant white floral/fruity/citrus scent. Will be nice for Spring and Summer. I am a little embarrassed that I get a little kick out of the bottle design. The cap is a bit of a pain to put off and on the bottle, but..it is kind of cute, with it’s little ‘zipper’ encircling the nozzle. Once this settles, it is not as cloying like in the opening.
Becomes more of a clean type of scent. I like it. Not an everyday frag for me, but I think this will do nicely in the heat and horrible humidity that we have here during the Summer. Also a nice scent for relaxing, casual, or fun type of days. But gosh this bottle seems huge, very tall (I got the 3.4 ounce for $18.00 at TJMaxx). 2 to 3 spritzes is plenty. Probably office friendly, but to me, this is more of a laid back, casual, fun type of scent. I do kind of like this, just not quite enough to hit the ‘like’ button…The cloying scent still rears it’s ugly head now and then, unfortunately. But again, I am looking forward to wearing this at times during the Summer.
веста1607 – :
It is not something extra fancy as it really does not cost a fortune, well, but what you get is not a flanker in the first place. It is quite original and pretty sophisticated juice for any age person in an adequate apparel. I.e. teenage style may be not the best one, but would work ok with office/city styles.
Definately there is feminine jasmine, which is not too casual accompanied with refreshing honeysucle. The plum is not old school (i.e. Biagotti Venezia), rather young and fresh. Longevity is very nice, 4-6hours.
Razor-six-four – :
My favorite from the Juicy Couture line. I don’t particularly get too much grape on my skin, which I’m glad for, but it just smells so good and delicious and I love wearing it. Unlike other JC perfumes this one does not seem as though it’s too “young” and actually rather sophisticated.
Regarding the bottle, I see differing opinions but personally it is one of my favorite things about it. I think it’s beautiful and almost vintage looking. The first thing I did however upon taking it out of the box was toss that pink zipper ribbon straight into the trash. Immediately, much better!
Putanlory – :
Very interesting!! Grapes / plums + sandalwood + cedar / adhesive tape.
Color : violet, indigo.
EDIT: now it reminds me Gabriela Sabatini or Poison (!) that combination of plum and jasmine :/
bombila – :
Im not attracted to the bottle…but they have new year sales.. and i saw this woth tester bottle this time so i decided to test it..
And..
.. I REALLY LIKE IT. I get the plum,the jasmine, vanilla and amber strong but not cloying.and a light sandalwood. Making this smells spicy oriental. Thats what fragrantica forget to add.. spicy oriental.
lui2009 – :
I never was even bothered to smell this or even look out the notes because the bottle to me was so unappealing but my mum bought it for me because she saw it on sale and knew that I like Viva La Juicy. When I first smelled this I instantly fell in love, it is a soft white floral with a hint of citrus and soft not-too-sweet vanilla. It is actually very classy and sophisticated and when I smell it I think of a polished well put together woman wearing it.
cheddaymen – :
Disclaimer: this was a gift – not something I’d pick out for myself. I certainly can’t blame Juicy Couture for being misleading. Look at the bottle: unapologetically artificial, and not afraid to be loud – I know it, they know it, everyone knows it 🙂
I’m not picking up on the plum/grape note everyone else seems to be getting. I just get an ostentatious, floral nose-punch with a strange, fizzy vanilla undertone. That fizz may be the grape note I’m missing? I think it’s what makes this smell synthetic to me.
It doesn’t develop or change for me with wear, and the longevity is astronomical – one spritz and I can smell it on my clothes days later when putting them in the wash. It lasts much longer than the Viva la Juicy I was also gifted (what are my loved ones trying to tell me?).
kasper73 – :
I bought this on sale for about twenty dollars and I was disappointed at first spray. It is I agree with the reviews that say it smells like grape soda or grape gum. I voted plum on the notes because that’s the closest I could come. You get plum about thirty seconds after first spray, but it then fades into Dimetapp.
It definitely smells like my grandmother for daytime, but I think in an evening gown it would work nicely. I would not call this perfume complex at all. No vanilla for me; no sandalwood; just Dimetapp. Not offensive but not for a sophisticated woman.
cool1234 – :
I bought a tiny mini of this blindly. In the bottle it smelled more vanilla/ brown sugar but on my skin its a lot more complex. It has a vanilla/ amber base but there’s a specific note of the original Juicy Couture ( not sure but a white floral/ adelhyde mix). I get white flowers such as orange flower and sweet baked shop goods. I don’t get grape or even citrus but I get red plum. Its between pretty and sexy, I have to be careful as some scents give me headaches but this seems fine. I really like that one note does not dominate. I used to wear Revlon Fire& Ice but this ius much more luxurious and classy smelling. Autumn is the perfect time to wear this scent. I like it better than the original Juicy Couture( the name is a bit silly but oh well).
Frenchanko – :
Blind bought this and I absolutely love it! Couture couture is a rich,warm sophisticated fragrance. On myself I smell sweet grape,vanilla,amber and powder. Some people are saying it smells old ladyish, I like the term “vintage”,or classy. I don’t really think that you can put an age limit or gender on perfumes, if it smells nice and you like it, you should wear it. I have a few samples of men’s cologne that I am attracted to and find that they smell nice with my chemistry. I’m happy with this purchase. Couture couture is a well made comforting scent..i would repurchase in the future.
AlexKZ_RUR – :
O my goodness ! I blind bought this only because I liked the bottle and it was on sale . I am over the moon , on my skin it is a lighter version of D&G red cap which was and still is one of my all time fragrances. I am so pleased with this
qep210intitytek – :
What can I say I ADORE Couture Couture!
OrikonePattajaDa – :
This is the best perfume of Juicy Couture
markander – :
Nice soft florals with a little bit of citrus. The floral that I can smell the most is jasmine. I can also smell some sweet plums, but its not overbearingly candy sweet.
Great for everyday use.
szk189Unlogrere – :
The best from juicy coutures
TUnorah – :
Hands down the best that Juicy Couture has to offer. This is a unique, well balanced, fragrance that could easily work for ANY age from 18-100 years old. Seriously! I strongly recommend testing this one even if you aren’t typically a JC fan. The versatility of this fragrance is truly impressive. Summer or winter, casual or dressy, work or play, day or night… whatever. This will work. This is one of those fragrances you “rediscover ” in your own wardrobe after you’re bored of everything else and realize that the “new” perfume you’ve been looking for and craving is already on your shelf.
This is NOT a uber sweet gourmand like the Viva line. It isn’t a weak, glorified summer body spray like the Malibu’s, it even stands above the original, Fifi award winning, debut Juicy Couture which was a decent offering. This one though, it is so full bottle worthy. I even bought a 3.4 oz back up bottle even because I heard chatter of possible discontinuation. And as good a fragrance as this is, discontinuation makes sense… it’s NOT something you’d expect to sell well to Juicy Couture’s target customer base. It’s a step above in terms of class and I just don’t think it really met the right audience. Such a shame! I could easily see this having been put out by Versace, Dolce & Gabbana or Armani and selling like hot cakes under their marketing. Fragrancenet still has big bottles for under 20 bucks and I see small bottles at Ross from time to time if anyone is interested.
On me this opens with Aldehydes although they aren’t listed. Then I get a slightly “grapey” feel in a similar (but softer, less abrasive) way that Muglers Alien does. But that note quickly mingles with cozy vanilla, soft (very light) white florals, orange blossom, and a delicate cosmetic powder. The overall result is clean and unique. Best lasting power and silage of all the Juicy’s too! A few sprays goes all day! This is a underrated gem. My husband, best friend, mother, two oldest sons, and neighbor all love it!! Compliments galore! I have very few fragrances that have received so many compliments. It’s just real easy to love.
артур4ик97 – :
This is definitely one of the nicer scents in the Juicy Couture fragrance line. It is quite a bold, sweet scent but dries down to a pretty floral vanilla. I wouldn’t get it again, and only had it as part of a gift set. I prefer scents on the fresher side now.
It also lasts a very long time.
voroninsanek – :
This perfume is beautiful, at first spray it can be overpowering but when this scent settles and with your own body chemistry (smells beautiful)
it is strong but feminine and unique its such a unique beautiful smell.
I had loads of compliments wearing this in florida during the summer months.
It really is a special unique perfume and a winner for night and day time
Really needs to settle after having been sprayed I love most if not all Juicy couture perfumes.
They are always so feminine and beautiful and made for all women (all ages) such a beautiful perfume!
Maksa – :
Happiness in a bottle. I don’t find it sweet at all and that’s why I love it. I guarantee you that you will decide whether you love it or hate from the first spray. A straight forward perfume and definitely a mood booster. <3
beketov87 – :
My boyfriend is a fan of this one, so I wear it for him. He thinks a good perfume smells simple, and familiar. It’s simple, but well done and well balanced. There is some immediate citrus that comes through which is nice and clean and fresh, then there is a rush of sweet flowers and a low dim plumb. The basenotes of amber, vanilla and sandalwood hold the citrus and flowers and plumb together softly. It’s not overwhelming, it’s not too bold, but it’s not shy and bashful either. It’s lovely, but lacks a lot of complexity I personally admire in a fragrance. It’s very modern, very light and fresh and sweet without the syrup. It’s a good balance for me now at 25, but perhaps in 5 years he will have to find a new scent to enjoy, because this is pretty youthful. 6.5 or 7/10
urgon – :
I don’t think I could ever pull off any of JC’s clothing, but this perfume… is so lovely! It’s like having a soft aura of fruits-and-cream with just the right touch of sweet, crispy blossoms thrown in. If this was a colour, it would be “pastel” for sure… It’s both fresh and calming, just on the verge of being gourmand, but not at all full-blown “foody” or “sugary”. Perfect for cool spring and autumn days!
vavanax – :
Creamy, uplifting and fresh. Couture couture reminds me of 90s white florals, minus the intensity!
I’m on my second bottle of this gem and I am still head over heels. On my skin I can mainly detect the flower notes with a hint of grape/plum peeking through occasionally. Lush!
I wear it all year round, though I have to admit it may get a little cloying during the Summer.
Longevity is average and so is projection.

reminiscent of elie saab la parfum, african orange flower perhaps? both work well

I had a perfume that my ex loved so much but not me(ferre in the mood for love)I buy a new bottle of it just before we broke up.there was no reason to force myself to use it.I was not in the mood of love and I didn’t want to even see it.so I told all my friends and coworkers that I want to exchange it with another perfume.young sister of my coworker asked to exchange it with her couture couture.I didn’t know it’s smell.I asked juicy couture perfumes aren’t that teenage perfumes in pretty bottles that they all smell the same? She said:I don’t know.I don’t want this one because it’s not good for teenagers.it’s perfume for adults.finally we did it.couture couture is most beautiful perfume I saw in my life.it looks like a perfume for a queen.but I didn’t think I will like it’s smell.I usually don’t like very flowery perfumes and white florals(I thought there is going to be caramel and berry in it but then I see that’s other one)this perfume smells like a perfume for a young queen too.it’s very beautiful!it’s sweet.sweet plum and Jasmine and lots of other flowers and something like honey.maybe amber and vanilla.it looks classy and heavy and fancy like old perfumes but also modern.finally a white floral that I love.it has great longevity and very good sillage.one of the best feminine perfumes that is very rich and complete.it’s strange that lot of people say it smells old.I hate old perfumes but I love this.maybe after all I’m getting old slowly.thirtys second half passes very quickly.but I feel young,just adult,like this perfume.it’s sweet,chic,beautiful, strong,heaven.good for every season and everywhere.I must buy it again
10/10
این عطر را خواهر نوجوان همکارم با فره این د مود فور لاو من مبادله کرد چون فره سفید خاطرات تلخی را برام تداعی می کرد.هیچوقت هم خیلی دوستش نداشتم.همیشه فکر می کردم جوسی کوتور فقط عطرهای مناسب نوجوانها میسازه،در شیشه های خیلی قشنگ اما تکراری.خیلی تعجب کردم وقتی اینجا کارامل و توت ندیدم و فهمیدم با عطر دیگه اشتباه گرفته بودم.ظاهر کوچورکوچور خیلی زیباست.اشرافی و خاص مثل عطر یک ملکه اما فکر نمی کرذم از بویش هم خوشم بیاد چون عطرهای گلی زیاد دوست ندارم اما این عطر از لحاظ بو هم عطر یک ملکه هست.یک ملکه جوان.کوچورکوچور شیرین هست و قوی.آلو و یاس و گلهای دیگر و کمی عسل که شاید بخاطر کهربا یا وانیل حس می کنم.عطری قوی و زنانه که شکوه و شیکی عطرهای قدیمی را داره اما شیرینی عطرهای جدید را.خیلی عجیب هست که خیلیها گفتن بوی قدیمی داره.من از عطرهای قدیمی متنفرم اما دیوانه این شدم.ماندگاری وپخش خیلی زیاد.چهارفصل و مناسب همه جا.عطر خیلی کامل و تکی هست.باید حتما باز هم بخرم
۱۰/۱
gariHeevisa – :
There are scores of reviews so mine probably won’t much matter. Just wanted to say this is a mature fragrance.
It’s as if a woman who wanted to design a modern fragrance that has a reminiscent longing for the older “old lady” fragrances, but this one shines brighter. It is a modern, fresher, lighter and brighter version. A woman who has arrived at age 40 and looks like a knockout, dresses en vogue, but never trendy. She doesn’t want to look like or to smell like a little girl.
I do not detect grapes, but perhaps Chardonnay. Aged, lovely, grapes that are no longer grape-scented. White flowers and sunny, it is both soft and loud at once. It makes a statement, but the statement is upscale yet approachable. Like a casual lunch at a posh restaurant. Not fussy, just clean, fresh, a touch romantic. I am so sorry it is discontinued.
P.S. The packaging alone makes this amazing. Even if it smelled like blah, ugh, yuck. Gorgeous!!

My friend from usa who work in elizabeth arden gave me a set of this couture2x perfume! 50ml bottle together w a body lotion and shower gel. In a beautiful white pink box like what a single box of couture2x. I only use the shower gel and the lotion but just display the perfume in my shelves to add for my collections. After 2 years without using it.. I have guts to try it and spray it on my neck and wrist. I sprayed once on my left wrist and right side with its body lotion. Im doing that to see if this perfume will last on my skin with its lotion. Then after spraying it. I smell both of my wrist. Yes they have a different smell. The left wrist only smells like couture couture and the right wrist smells like couture2x with a smell of its lotion. Its kinda weird for me. I think i preferred the left wrist than my right wrist with a lotion. Coz my right wrist with a lotion eating up the real smells of the perfume. The lotion smells more powerful than the perfume. And its not nice. So the first spray of my left wrist w/o lotion have a blast of jasmine, honey suckle, african orange flower and plum. I can smell a little amber and sandal wood and vanilla. And i can only smell the hint of the mandarin orange that makes it citrusy for a seconds. Then came back to its first scents. In my opinion its for a morning scents and for work. If u want to feel fresh and little elegant without a so sweetness like what other perfume smells. I recommend this one. I love the smells of this. Its not boring and not cloying. I will update about the scents if its long lasting or not. And if it has a powdery or watery drydown. Btw about the box of the gift set. I like it. Its white and pink outside and hot pink color inside. Where the perfume and shower gel laydown. The shower gel and lotion is a white bottle with a touch of pink printed by the name of the brand and a lot of crown spot with a pink lid. And about the perfume bottle.. Im loving it!!!! It looks elegant for me. It looks like a niche perfume bottle than a designers one. I love the zipper style on the neck and a golden design around the lid and the metal crown with a mark of juicy coutre. Or JC and not plastic like what u can see in killer queen katy perry. The body pf the bottle is a really nice. Plane transparent like a holy grail. The color of the liquid is golden yellow. So over all about the bottle and box.. Its 10 out pf 10 for me.. Amd about the scents. Im ganna update it soon as i can..
Update: the one who dnt have lotion on my left wrist doesnt last long on my skin!! Only 4 hours. The drydown is powdery and green. But the right wrist who have a lotion! Yuck!! I thougt i smell the cockrouches!!! Wtf!! Really!! Its not nice and i feel vomit!! I will never put lotion again on my wrist and sprayed it!!! I better use it without lotion! The chemical reaction of this one with a lotion is hilarious!
mifka312 – :
Reminds me of Tinkerbell and grapes. I bought it cuz my father liked the sample I wore. My boyfriend said it smelled kind of old lady-ish, which he later changed his mind. It does kind of has that young modern-old lady perfume smell to it, but not in a bad way. It’s very pretty.
ASARI – :
Grape bubblegum! As soon as I sprayed this I was overcome by familiarity. I’ve smelt this on so many people but never guessed it was Couture Couture.
First spray reminded me of an early 90s powder sweet explosion. Made me smile. I mainly get plum and honeysuckle and a pinch of grapefruit. Really nice.
Edit: One of the biggest compliment getters ever. This is such a universally likeable scent. And so unique.
FerrMan – :
I enjoyed this when I had it. It was nothing real special, but it was simply nice. This was bought for me as a present from my husband. When I finished the bottle, I did not buy another. I may in the future, but right now it’s not a scent that screamed buy me again. It’s as described. I wore it when ever, and it lasted a bit. I was pleased. If you’re wanting something simple, yet nice, you will enjoy this one.
Bormot – :
This perfume was sweet and nice at first, but there’s a note in there that I’m not very into. I still can’t wrap my head around what it is. I ended up giving it to my Mom, who ended up loving it. A happy ending after all
vidak0000 – :
On me, this was extremely sweet. I got lots of grapes and vanilla, with just the smallest hint of honeysuckle and musk. It was unfortunately overpowering on me.
EJJohn – :
This is so BEAUTIFUL
and so UNDERRATED
Its sweet and yummy yet not gourmand
The ratings here are low but try this for yourself
dedvovan4 – :
Beautiful and creamy– certainly not something I expected from a company whose biggest claim to fame was plastering the word juicy in velour across the bums of so many in the early 2000s!
This was a gift from my husband and kids after, they couldn’t find another perfume I’d asked for and now the juicy perfumes have become a guilty pleasure! I think this one is discontinued but my favorite. Full of honey and honeysuckle w/ a drydown of amber and sandlewood, this is one that I felt like myself wearing but still mild enough for the office. I often received compliments on this.
Probe22 – :
Blushing Purple Grapes are definitely the stars of the show! Followed by Plum, Honeysuckle, Sandalwood, and vanilla! Oh my, this smell SO Good….Another excellent cold weather floral. This is a Very Sweet, Warm, and creamy, true to form Grape Floral Fragrance.
alex2011 – :
recently I feel like having a great desire for sweet fragrances,So now I’m more intrested in juicy couture perfumes,Couture couture was on my top juicy couture want list,ofcourse blindly,just because of it’s notes,reviews naming it the most mature juicy couture and it’s eye catching antique looking unique bottle
I can’t get grapefruit or any other citrus note here,it opens with a honeyed,juicy plum which makes me think of grapy smell as other reviews have already mentioned,it’s heart is all about white florals,I can get honey suckle dominantly which I’m glad about..drydown is ambery with just a hint of vanilla and sandalwood
couture couture is warm,sweet and ladylike but it’s sweetness isn’t caramelly as most other JC’s..it’s honey like and/or ambery sweetness..also wild berry’s are replaced by plum..these elements give this a mature vibe but still there is a JC gene detectable hear
I think this is a fall even winter fragrance,not for frozen days,just needs chilly weather to bloom and not become sticky or too sweet,so let’s say it’s wearable all around year except in heat
longevity and sillage are both more than moderate and I believe discontinuing it is really a big mistake
if you are intrested in honey sweet grapy white florals give it a try,it’s bottle is adorable,heavy and glamorous however I prefer it without it’s cute childish charms
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Edit:
As I wear it I like it more.it’s not complex by any means,it’s almost linear on me,yet it’s lush,sultury vibe and richness is very appealingly
Call me crazy but I see it as a far cousin of Elie saab le parfum.orange is replaced by plum and this makes it’s overall scent seem quite different but both have this orange flower in honey,ambery base as their skeleton
Longevity is +8 hours and it projects well
I’m impressed and if it wasn’t discounted I’d repurchase it after going through my luxurious 3.4oz bottle
Membz814InsuffBooni – :
I don’t understand why people are saying it smells like grapes. it doesn’t! it smells very floral to me. I love the combination of the flower notes, amber and sandalwood. It is very unique and elegant and almost classic. The scent stays with me from night till morning. This is definitely a good find for me since not a lot of perfume stays on me or my clothes that long. I love it and looking forward to get the big edp bottle.
Creerpeclus – :
I added this perfume to my JC collection.I love the bottle. It is quite strong on me. It is sweet floral.Last a long time. I like it .
AMF09 – :
Just got this in. I’ve just been into the first 10 mins of it though, so if it turns into something totally stupid, I’ll edit.
I wasn’t expecting to really like this, but I had to get it because it was $4. I mean…..yeah….I’m gonna buy it. 1 oz of anything for 4 bucks is worth a try. In my opinion, this smells like that initial blast of any magazine perfume ad. You know what I mean….that “ohhhh this is nice, but it smells like everything else in a magazine”…and aussie shampoo. You know what I have to say about that? SO WHAT? hahahaha! Who buys shampoo that doesn’t smell good and who opens that perfumed magazine flap and cringes? Exactly! It’s really just a clean, juicy, scent. I’ve never smelled a grape or a plum that smells like this, yet I can still understand why so many say it smells like it. Seriously. Cut a grape or a plum and take a big olé wiff….bet it won’t smell like this…yet, you’ll still understand the association. That’s weird isn’t it?
Anyway, I think it’s very nice. Smells like my 20’s. Lol. If it made me look like I was in my 20s, I’d bathe in it! Haha! It’s nice for a casual day, bright and sunny, happy go lucky, girly charm. Sweet, fun, innocent, freshly shampooed girl, reading “how to make your boyfriend crave you”, article, catching wiffs of the page before it because you just opened to smell the latest trendy scent. Inoffensively sweet. Good “every day” perfume. 🙂 nothing bad to say about it.
Edit : an ulta magazine came in today. There was a perfume page for la Vie Est Belle. ….smelled exactly like la vi Est Belle. …I guess not ALL the perfume pages smell the same. Haha

I love this perfume. It lasts for 9hrs on the skin. I would not purchase thru mail order.
Amazon has a great return policy for most stuff, HOWEVER, they do NOT allow you to RETURN perfume. The packaging looks perfect. The stuff inside was not. The fake perfume lasted an hour and it smelled flat like they missed a few ingredients.
The fakes are now even making there way inside reputable stores. DO NOT LEAVE a store until you open and smell the perfume. I have found fakes in Lord and Taylor and Macy’s. Its crazy hard just finding the real thing nowadays. The real perfume is worth it, good luck in your shopping.

GRAPE POP! I gave a full 100ml bottle away within days of buying it, and no regrets about it. The teenager who received it was about 17 yrs old and she loved it…..Happy she was happy! In my case, I can’t love everything!

I really like this one! To me it smells of Caribbean fizzy black grape drink (like you buy in the cornershop!)I love fake grape smell, so this is all good in my book. I’m wearing it today and had a compliment from the lady I bought my lunch from: she was behind the counter and started sniffing the air saying: “Who is that? I smell really lovely perfume!” It was meeee!
Well worth buying if you see it on offer. Good staying power and good silage (better than a lot of other Juicy’s in that regard).
