Description
Juicy Couture launches Couture La La, a new fragrance, in late November 2012. This fragrance is in a way a tribute to the Juicy Couture debut from 2006, since it is announced as its punk-rock, more up-to-date version. Couture La La embodies free spirited and effortlessly glamorous women.
The composition is described as luscious floral – fruity bouquet with elegant musky background. It opens with sparkling fruity aromas of mandarin, green apple and red currant. The heart is made of white flowers of lily of the valley and orange blossom mixed with powdery violet leaves. The base hosts sensual musk accords.
Fashion model Karlie Kloss is the face of the campaign. The scent is available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

First initial spray on me is a sharp strong rose. Then it dries down to a soft not too sweet bubblegum scent. LoL! This is really nice and different. Not a sweet scent like Pink Sugar but a light and soft bubblegum scent that’s also refreshing – I’m guessing that’s the Lily of the Valley and Violet Leaf.
Perfect fragrance for the warmer months or just because.
Ewartbho – :
Not worth the price in my opinion. Short longevity and poor silage
mr-adams – :
Floral green, with drops of apple juice, is green fresh, it can be sharp at the beginning but once it settles is so beautiful! Lasts 6-8 hrs. One of my favs
leveTutty – :
Smells pretty floral to me. Has that “Juicy Couture” smell if that makes sense. I enjoy this one but I definitely would only buy it on sale…not worth the $100 price tag on amazon right now. Usually you can find these at TJMaxx or something for about half the price, which I find to be worth it.

I don’t know if I had a bad bottle or what the situation was but I couldn’t wear this. I got it for $20 at Shopper’s Drug Mart so thankfully I did not waste too much money but this scent just smelled awful on me. Citrus based scents do not work well with my chemistry, as I have found out over the years, but this one just turned skunky on my skin. I use it as a room spray instead.
GrexpereJew – :
Lovely girly fragrance which sadly doesn’t last long on me.
CON0062 – :
Flowery, but a bit fruity. Soft. Doesn`t last long on me.
Oh, and I can spot the lily of the valley. It`s nice

I tend to like perfumes that most people don’t. But still, I can’t believe that I’m loving this one so much (out of all 3 Juicy Couture perfumes that I own, this one, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Glacé, and the original Juicy Couture Eau de Couture). I recently blind bought it at Marshalls for $27 (including tax) and I’m very happy that I did trust my instincts, based on its notes AND a minority of positive reviews in here (so, thank you guys). Btw, I have seen it for sale at T.J.Maxx too.
It is a perfect summer fragrance for hot days, as it is very light and stays fresh. I could smell the mandarin and crispy green apple as if I could take a big bite on those fresh fruits. The lily of the valley is mild and soft, not overly sweet or sickly sweet at all, as found in many floral/fruity fragrances out there. The orange blossom and violet leaves are also gentle and caressing, not so much powdery as I first assumed. The musk in here is the weakest note but noticeable and again, light. The opening is just refreshing and the dry down is softly and warmly comforting. It is very feminine, fresh, light and ABSOLUTELY still a perfume formula (it has lasted and lingered very well on my skin for hours), NOT like body mist, or shower gel, or room spray, or cleaning products,…or Windex 🙂 I’m so sorry to know that some people have felt that way about this fragrance and could not be able enjoy it the way I truly do. Lucky me 🙂
My husband loves this one on me too. He is very sensitive to strong and intense fragrances. He thinks that it smells just right and enough in all categories. That is how he would prefer me to smell like, with light skin scent, gentle and a little “hidden” effect, that he has to come closer to me and snuggle in order to smell it. Now THAT, he has considered it sexy. Another bonus from this perfume to me 🙂

Whoaaa a lot of you guys don’t like Miss lala (haha) and I totally understand when I first purchased her I was a lil thrown off myself , I was soo use to my other Juicy Couture Fragrances smelling youthful , fresh , sweet , young? an this is far from that .
When I first spray this , an allow it to settle , I think FRESH, CLEAN ,FLORAL , LINEIN , CRISP , WORK FLOW , BRUNCH, MATURE WOMEN . its definitely a daytime scent to me , very subtle, very nice on the skin , I would recommend anybody who likes Marc Jacobs Daisy to try this , anyone who wants an appropriate office /church/everyday spring scent to try this , on my skin it last pretty long an I get compliments on it even when I cant smell it anymore , ive gifted this to women in their 30’s an 40’s an 70’s an they all really liked it … I guess its one of those scents you either hate or love ….

I can’t describe it, but I’m not a fan. Sad because this is the only JC I’ve tried that I don’t love!
IdeonHippiece – :
So today I went against alot of “not so great reviews”, and bought Couture La La…i don’t regret it 🙂 This is a crisp,clean sweet floral/fruity scent. I really like it alot. It’s a really pretty fragrance and unique in its own way . It’s uplifting and happy. I purchased this for $20 on clearance at Marshall’s (3.4oz)
slavshin – :
This fragrance is OK, rather basic. I wish there was a vote button somewhere between “like” and “dislike”: a “meh” button!
Anyways, it’s a fairly typical, completely unexciting white floral. I don’t get much fruitiness from it per se, but there is a brightness to it which I suppose could come from fruit. Sillage is fairly soft and inoffensive. Longevity is about 5-6 hours. It’s a good choice for work or for any time you want to smell nice but not too strongly of perfume.
If you like frangrances like Estee Lauder’s Pleasures or Lolita Lempicka L’eau Jolie, then you will probably like this one.
It stays quite fresh on the skin as opposed to turning sour or mildewy-smelling, which sheer white florals sometimes do. (On my skin, at least.)
It’s pleasant enough and a safe blind buy, if you can get it on the cheap, but it’s not worth the full price in my opinion.
andrianbihor – :
All I get is a whole lot of Lily of the Valley. Not much else. Meh.
Segezhanin – :
Two words: Green & Fresh.
Quite a light scent, nice but nothing special. Nothing of those notes doesn’t really pop out for me, maybe violet leaf and apple are most clearest, but there is hints of mandarin, red currant and flowers.
I could buy this if it would be good and discounted price at some time 😉
pyb578InsuffBooni – :
I totally get it when people say it smells like celery! This opens very citrusy/fruity at the initial blast but becomes very green on the skin. I love it; it isn’t groundbreaking or unique in any way but it is fresh, clean, and kind of prissy in a good way. Longevity is acceptable for a fragrance of this type and price. Perfect for wanting to smell nice, but not actually smell “perfumed” on a warm spring/summer day.
Ruchka007 – :
It starts as a sweet/tart floral. The orange blossom is there adding its soapy freshness, but it’s not overpowering. At the top, it’s perfectly pleasant and unassuming body wash sort of scent.
Midway into the dry down things go so-very-wrong on me. I don’t know if it’s the lily of the valley or the violet leaf or the fixatives but an hour into this, it’s a bomb of hairspray on my skin. I was sitting in a restaurant trying to figure out which person in the booth behind us smelled so weird. It was me and the La La.
La La went straight to my giveaway pile. Maybe one of my nieces will like it (but hopefully she won’t wear it near me).
visim – :
It is better not to have any high expectations to this perfume. It 100% justifies its price niche (in Toronto you can purchase it at any drug store and it won’t be locked behind the display, meaning it’s not expensive).
Very fresh, crispy, pleasant, non-offending.
Evaporates from my skin in 15 min without a trace.
alexandr_tretykov – :
Alcoholic and crisp. Way too one dimensional and average for my liking. But fresh and a decent fragrance for spring and summer.
voldemar – :
Extremely similar to Marc Jacob’s Daisy, just an EDT version. Very pretty fragrance, floral, light and fresh. Lovely every day fragrance, just a shame that it doesn’t last longer on the skin.
Merviholes – :
My favorite perfume. It smells so clean and fresh, like you just got out of the shower. I would say it’s a floral sweet scent..perfect for summer..Light and airy as a Colbie Caillat-song 🙂 I love it 🙂
slava1371 – :
Couture La La by Juicy Couture starts off smelling so light and fresh with fresh lily of the valley, crisp apples, and sweet mandarin. The dry down comes about 7 minutes later which still smelled like lily of the valley, but with the apple turning rather sour. Within 10 minutes you can hardly smell anything because this fragrance is just too light to even be worth marketing. It starts out so lovely but the quality is so poor that it’s just very disappointing considering how much I liked the original juicy couture. Beautiful bottle as always, I’ll just have to keep a look out for a better flanker.
Afsaroseli – :
I bought this for $40 at my local chemist today, and I’m pretty impressed!
It smells similar to Juicy Couture’s Viva La Juicy, however, it’s a little more subdue.
It’s not as sickly sweet.
Out of the 4 Juicy Couture scents I’ve owned/tried, this is my boyfriend’s favorite, however, for me, it comes second to my all time Juicy Couture Fav, ‘Viva La Juicy Gold Couture’.
I like the bottle, the jewels are a little unnecessary, but I think it looks glamorous and fits in well with my collection. I feel the bottle is heavier than it needs to be. When I first bought it, it slid right out the bottom of the box and landed on my foot, turning it black and purple in bruises. Lmao.
7/10.
vovk-45 – :
Would be nice if it even lasted mid day. I don’t even spray this perfume because I know by the time I’m out the door the scent will be gone. Ughh it’s a nice scent if only it lasted. Yeah I even tried spraying 6 sprays and 30 mins later nothing. This should be a body spray not a perfume
Верджак – :
i have couture la la and viva la juicy and juicy couture and there isn’t a lot of difference between the 3.
on initial spray i get honeysuckle and jasmine. 10 mins later it settles slightly to a fresh, sweet inoffensive floral scent of orange blossom and musky gardenia? i can detect lily of the valley lurking around but it’s not strong enough for me to dismiss couture la la all together.
i find lily of the valley to be sickly syrupy and nauseating and its always the notes you dont like that last forever.
lasting power and silage are both poor on me.
dimaris – :
Even despite knowing all the fruity notes in this, on me this smells far more floral than anything else, which is good as I usually avoid overly fruity scents. Yes, it’s true that this isn’t a particularly distinctive fragrance, but I think it is an excellent version of something that smells fairly common – as opposed to smelling cheap or chemical-laden.
For awhile I kept dismissing it as too similar to other fragrances, but then I kept noticing it on other people, and every time I said, “You smell great, what are you wearing?” it was always this! So I decided to stop fighting it, and I’m glad I did. Got it for a very low price at Marshall’s, and it’s just a happy, unoffensive, lovely fragrance to spritz on when I want to feel good. Even though it’s November, I’m wearing it today to pick myself up from the trauma of the U.S. election.
volf73309 – :
I bought this online because the 100mL bottle was a really good deal. Fragrantica reviews made me kind of skeptical – some are really bad and I thought I wouldn’t like it. It was a very happy surprise, I loved Couture La La! It is a very light fruity floral, perfect for everyday use. It does not last as I would expect of an EDP, but it is not as little as most people say – at least on my skin. Also, it is not something outstanding, I do know a lot of similar fragrances… But I do not care, it IS a delicious scent and it IS worth it!
id7785 – :
Bought this on sale. The little half ounce bottle was super cheap. It is somewhere in between avon femme and dkny delicious. I know people say that a lot about a lot of perfumes but it is true. I have ’em all. I totally should have read the reviews I don’t need three perfumes that smell so similar as much as I love the scent! Oh well I can find someone to give this to.
LightBless – :
This perfume reminds me of DKNY Be Delicious.
Feamsfase – :
Couture La La is lovely for spring time!
Tart green apples, fruity red berries & mandarin, sweet florals and a hint of musk. It is a sparkly, clean and feminine fragrance.
Sure, it’s not groundbreaking but sometimes you want a simple and uncomplicated perfume. It lasts around 3-4 hours and has moderate sillage.
I do not get any cat pee or harsh/bitter notes either!
Overall, a beautiful spring/summer fragrance. Juicy Couture perfumes are my guilty pleasure, the little girl in me absolutely loves their over the top pretty bottles!
Highly recommended for a simple, clean and sweet fruity/floral.
kEnRantee – :
I agree with all the reviews that I saw so far, this scent is way too weak. I tested it four hours ago and I can’t smell it anymore.
What I smelled was nice, but not special. Allthough watermelon isn’t one of the ingredients, that is what I mostly smelled.
I love the original Juicy Couture scent, but this one isn’t special enough, it misses the warmth, the sensuality, the mystery which makes the original Juicy Couture a mature scent, suitable for grown ups. La la is so light, that it is more suitable for a teenage girl, but even when I was a teenager, I loved scents with more depth and especially longevity, back then in the ninetees I wore Poison by Dior and Venezia by Laura Biagiotti, scents that I can still wear today.
I especially dislike the bottle, it looks cheap and tacky, not classy at all and I love more classy perfume bottles.
mo-37 – :
Yes, this is a BIG disappointment. Too weak and faint for the price. And the scent smells pretty common. Do not waste your money on this.
senanmer – :
I found this disappointing. I love Juicy Couture (Original), Viva La Juicy, Viva La Juicy Noir, and Hollywood Royal.
It is nondescript – pleasant – but no thrills to be found. It seems to be gaining silage as I wear it, though, and I agree it is very reminiscent of Marc Jacob’s Daisy (which I’m sorry to say I dislike).
Even at the low price I paid, I am returning this. There is nothing wrong with it, but it’s not for me.
seregaqweqaz – :
Yup…way, way, WAY too weak. It’s too bad. The fragrance itself is pretty. It’s citrusy, fruity, fresh, slightly floral, with a hint of musk. It’s nice, but nothing remotely memorable. If I don’t end up returning it, I most definitely will not repurchase. It cost me $25 at TJ Maxx, which I thought was a steal for a Juicy Couture fragrance, and then once I put it on, I was like “oh…I get it now.” It lasts about 1 hour, but even after 20 minutes its difficult to detect on yourself. I was planning to try Viva La Juicy after this one, but I guess not. Even though I like the scent itself, I had to vote “dislike” because they seem to have put Propel and an atomizer in a fancy bottle and sold it for $25. If I had paid the retail price I would have returned it ASAP.
The notes listed are precisely what it smells like to me. They all flow really beautifully together. If it were stronger and longer-lasting, then yeah – I would have repurchased it. It basically smells like how I imagine Tinkerbell would smell. It reminds me SO MUCH of Daisy by Marc Jacobs, actually.
I like the bottle. It’s pretty and sturdy. I don’t feel like it is at risk of my cat knocking it off my vanity because the base is so thick and heavy.
This is one particular situation in which I could see someone purchasing this after reading the reviews: a gift for a tween or young teenager. I know when I was that age, I cared very much about brand names and pretty scents and feeling “grown up.” BUT…I would overspray all of my perfumes and give my whole family a headache. This one is a win-win because it looks awesome and smells pretty, but it is weak enough that you wouldn’t have to worry about her giving everyone a headache or smelling like a baby prostitute hahaha. If you give a teenager anything from Juicy Couture you can expect to be the coolest person in their book, for the remainder of EVER.
xcy150Bessinepome – :
I really like this scent but it lasts only about an hour on my skin and then I can’t smell it at all. But the actual smell is really good, it’s fresh, little bit sweet and very floral. And the bottle is so cute!
Plarryviave – :
Adding my voice to the “it’s too weak” chorus. This is a positively stunning – though not at all unique – fragrance, a fact which matters not at all because it lasts 10 minutes at most. Boo!
Longevity: 0/10
Scent: 9/10
Overall: 1/10
Ruwshun – :
way…too…light!!! for the price, it should have better longevity! I like the scent but sadly after 30 minutes, it’s nonexistent
petro-09 – :
My favorite fruity/fresh scent that I own. (Other than Philosophy’s Loveswept) It’s easily one of the most carefree and gentle scents in my collection. Mmm… juicy green apples, citrus, red currant, and lily of the valley. My go to scent when I go shopping, or when I’m just chilling out at home on the weekends. When I don’t know what to wear, I reach for this one! Really breezy pick me up for the spring time. <3 I’m sure gonna miss this one when I run out.
Longevity: Sadly, only 2-3 hours max.
Sillage: Soft, very delicate.
Edit: One day when I was in High School, I sprayed this pretty pink juice on myself right after P.E. That day we had a substitute teacher, who I never met before. As soon as I entered the classroom and sat down in my seat, she said “What is that amazing smell!!?” needless to say, she loved it! And she could smell it from all the way across the room, too! That day she asked me what I was wearing, and she was heading to pick up a bottle of Couture La La for herself. 🙂
Envishess – :
Couture La La is a highly generic musky fruity floral. Most designers, celebrities, and mall stores have a scent like this, Victoria’s Secret probably has five.
It bears a resemblance most of all, due to a tart green apple note, to DKNY Be Delicious- the original green one. In comparison to Be Delicious, it is much softer and less sharp and astringent. The green apple is almost juicy and hard candy like after drying down a bit. I like the scent okay at first.
Further along the dry down, the scent becomes dominated by a dirty kind of muskiness, not of the perfume kind, of a “I’ve been outdoors for a while and not feeling so fresh” kind of way, like I sweat off the perfume in gym class or something. It is dried down to violet leaf and musk, and at that point is rather sharp and bitter. The complete 180 of this scent from girly and sweet to dirty and sharp is pretty off-putting to me and it occurs in a short time because this perfume does not last long.
Overall, a very weak perfume both in power and personality. Sorry fans.
кавказец93 – :
This is not worth buying. It does smell nice, but It might as well be classified as a body spray. In fact, I have body sprays that are more potent than this. It is so weak, there is no point is spending so much money on it. You can only smell it if you put your nose right up to your skin, and it completely vanishes after an hour.
kdf460Bessinepome – :
**Spoiler Alert** = I hate it! Lol.
I bought this pretty much as soon as it came out in the shops in the UK. I’m by no means a snob when it comes to perfume brands or cost; I’ll test literally anything fragrance related because as most of us are aware, you never know where or when a little gem might sneak in under the radar! I’m just as happy to wear a body spray I got on sale from the Avon catalogue for £1, as I am spritzing myself with a Guerlain fragrance. So even though I knew that Juicy was associated with having their name emblazoned across the arse of those who wore their tracksuits, I still gave it a go.
It was during my lunch break and I wasn’t actually planning on purchasing a perfume that day, but I had a spare 15 mins so I nipped into Boots to grab a few tester strips of any new fragrances that caught my eye. The display stand for this La-La perfume was right at the entrance to the perfume cabinets, so despite the bottle being the tackiest, most crass and gaudy one in the shop, I sprayed some on a tester strip. And I was quite pleasantly surprised. I got an immediate hit of grapefruit, some other berry notes and somewhere in the background, what initially seemed to smell like musk.
I liked how it smelled on the tester strip, so I sprayed it on my forearm to see how it would go with my own skin chemistry. And then I realised the time. I had to head back to work and in a moment of stupidity, I just decided to buy it. I can’t remember how much it cost exactly, but I think it was fairly cheap – around £35 for a 100ml bottle – and it was around payday, so I was feeling flush! I paid for it, hurried back to work and when I got back to my desk, I sat and gave my forearm a sniff. I couldn’t smell all that much, so I spritzed a bit more on. And then after a few minutes I got this horrible, sharp, offensive stench polluting my nostrils!
If you’ve ever smelled rotting fruit, when it starts to turn alcoholic, just imagine that combined with a nasty waft of cat-pee! What had started out as clean, sparkling fruity smells had suddenly taken on a horrible dirty undertone. I went from liking it to hating it in about 3 minutes. My thorough dislike of my hasty purchase was only exacerbated by the remarks from the woman who sat next to me, telling me she thought it was nice; the fact that she perpetually smelled like BO that she was trying to masque with the heaviest, headiest scents she could find, pretty much rendered her opinion on what smells ‘nice’ completely invalid. In fact her liking it made me dislike it even more.
When I went home I had a shower and when I got out I decided to try it out once more on otherwise scent-free skin, just to be sure that there wasn’t any cross-contamination of ingredients happening. I wandered though to the living room to ask my boyfriend what he thought of it and he immediately wrinkled his nose up in disgust. He said it was horrible, sour or rancid smelling and not even in the sort of smell category that he would imagine me to like. And I could still smell the cat-wee/jailhouse-hooch notes coming off of it.
I couldn’t return it to the place I bought it from because I’d ripped off all the crap that adorned the bottle, the minute I’d opened it and thrown it all in the bin at work along with the box it had come in. So I had to put it up for sale on eBay where it went to a happy home and I was able to use the money I got back for it, on some new fountain pens instead.
The moral of the story is: always try before you buy. Try on both one of those wee tester strips that most places supply AND on your own skin. Because you could be like me and have a gross reaction happen between the fragrance and your own body chemistry. I was stupid and because I was in a rush, I bought it before I’d really taken the time to see how it would smell ON me. Like I said, it wasn’t expensive or anything, but some perfumes can be pretty pricey, so always do the sensible thing and try/test a smell before you commit to purchasing it. If you can get a wee sample vial, that’s even better, because you can then see how the smell plays out at different times of the day and in different environments. Okay, rant over folks. If you’ve read this far, you deserve a gold star for patience and dedication. Have a lovely day y’all xx

Given to me by a dear friend, it is not a scent I would have picked out on my own. But am so thankful for the gift because I love the summery,happy scent!
satanistrk – :
For anyone in Canada, this is at Shopper’s Drug Mart on the $19.99 shelf (100ML EDP).
PaubbokyNub – :
Couture La La is a sparkly, happy, bubbly fragrance which is great for casual summer days. Very Feminine and girly.
I don’t usually put an age limit on perfume but this reminds me of a young girl, just out from school and eagerly looking forward to summer vacation and hanging out with friends, dressed in a flirty sun dress with cute sandals to match.
On my skin it’s very sweet and fruity. I don’t get a lot of floral notes or citrus. Longevity is not bad, lasts for several hours. Very similar to Burberry Brit Sheer but Sheer is fresher and greener.
The bottle is a bit ridiculous but thankfully the charms are easily removed. In my opinion, La La is not to be taken too seriously, nothing sophisticated about it but overall a pretty summer scent.
alexandr-z – :
After smelling this months ago I’ve wanted it so bad. It is actually one of the more pricey names where I purchase my perfume. I have a hard time justifying spending 90 dollars on a 50ml bottle!! This weekend while I was picking up a few groceries at Walmart, I noticed a shelf full of perfumes being extremely discounted, this being one of them! To my delight it was only $19.00 for a 50ml bottle! I find this a very close dupe of coach poppy flower, which just so happens to be in my top five perfumes! It’s so clean, fresh, fruity and sweet all at the same time, it’s a gorgeous day time or night time scent! Truly love this, and it’s much different than all the other drag races JC has put out, which for me, is great! As popular as the other ones are, this is my only JC love!
zirve89 – :
This indeed is Happy by Clinique but in this case the naphtalene smell is subdued. Happy is a perfume I can hardly stand and I can’t overcome this association in order to imagine myself wearing Couture La La (although it’s still more pleasant than Happy, definitely).
Apart from my personal preference, this is a delicate, fresh and summery, everyday type of scent. Nothing special or interesting, probably something to spray while on a vacation.
MadFox – :
Beautiful bottle!
Delightful smell!
BafeEssesty – :
Tested this one, and walked around the store sniffing my wrist. The “fresh/aquatic/ozonic” note of calone is way amped-up here to the point of being revolting. Pass.
Martin1976 – :
Well I have to say this is definitely overrated … but its a good fresh every day perfume , smells clean and bright and friendly. Feminine and clean!
The garish pink ribbon and unnecessary bling, that comes with the bottle, comes of easily if it annoys you- ….mmmm it doesn’t bother me generally, it’s just a grab for when i am doing the school run or house stuff, doesn’t seem to last long, needs to be pumped into an atomiser for a top up…
urisak – :
smells like a lemon scented dish detergent to me 🙁 shame, i think the bottle is sooo cute!
artax – :
On me, this scent is chemical and sharp white florals, then nothing. Highly overrated in my view.
portomas – :
This one is very likeable and light, good for casual wear and office wear. Very difficult to ‘over-apply’ (it’s more like a body spray than anything, which is common with orange based scents).
This one is also impossible to induce a headache or sinus pain with me, which I admit even some of my favourites are guilty of.. (Tommy Girl I’m looking at you!!)
This one is very similar to quite a few in my collection, but not exactly like them. It isn’t new or different, but falls right into the white floral/citrus category that I always gravitate to.
As another reviewer said, this is the most ‘wearable’ of the Juicy scents. This one is the lightest by far, and I think the least offensive (I am a fan of them all though)
The perfumes that this is very similar to are Burberry Sheer, Clinique Happy, Daisy Eau so Fresh, Lacoste Joy of Pink, Prada Infusion d’Oranger (all of which I own).
It seriously smells just like a combo of Clinique Happy and Lacoste Joy of Pink though, perhaps even a superior hybrid.
I’ve all but given up on Clinique Happy, it’s always been of my faves, but it turns rancid very quickly and with a large collection like mine, it’s hard to give it all the attention it requires if you want to use it before it goes bad. I also love Lacoste Joy of Pink but it’s a very sticky and quite heavy scent. One of the main notes is curacao which is a ‘booze’ note so lends to a pretty cloying perfume.
Couture La La is the sweet, and juicy parts of Joy of Pink laying on the delicate and light bed of Lily-of-the-Valley that is reminiscent of Happy.
This is great for those who like light citrus scents, as well as gorgeous bottle design. I love all the Juicy bottles, personally though I always remove bottle ‘jewelry’, it’s just not my style and I think the Juicy bottles all look way classier without their gawd, but I also get the appeal, esp with this one.
Most unredeeming feature of this perfume is longevity, it’s like a body spray and I have to reapply almost every hour. Best part is I think it’s a crowd pleaser, you may not get compliments but you definitely won’t piss anyone off (sometimes being clustered together on the subway with someone wearing too much of even of my faves can leave me hating that perfume from that one experience for a really long time.. [yes, Chloe and I have had a bumpy past..])
tsh342speagoessenda – :
I usually do not like juicy couture fragrances but this one surprised me. I like it! If you like Burberry Brit Sheer, you may like this one as well.
nikasi – :
Im in love with this smell I wear it only when I go to my college classes. its a very mature feminine scent I guess smells like how a rich girl would smell lol one of my faves
vqr723speagoessenda – :
On me this smells quite sharp, synthetic, musky and green, but not at all unpleasant. The notes are well blended here, although I don’t smell the fruit or any sweetness at all. For me this is all about bright cleanness, almost a fresh laundry/dryer sheet smell that I find surprisingly pleasant and enjoy wearing.
aposs13 – :
With the first spray it really reminds me a bit of the original Juicy Couture – which was the intention of the brand (it says in the description). Then it becomes a little bit fresher. To me this perfums is just carefree and bright, juicy and crisp and fits you perfectly in spring! Or in summer, to cool you down.
Fresh, fruity and natural feeling just like after a shower. Sometimes I just need this clean, dewy smell. It is so comforting… 🙂
noch72 – :
This is the only scent I own that I’m not tired of, even though I have had it for quite a while. It is fruity and delicious, I just can’t get enough. I like trying different perfumes but it always ends with me running back to this one. I think of butterflies, summer rain and fresh, green, crunchy apples. Just lovely.
108108 – :
This bright and chic scent starts with crisp green apple, juicy mandarin and red currant giving way to delicate orange blossom, violet leaf, and a sweet musky finish.
It’s a little flirty and very happy. Great for a variety of occasions or when you just want a scent that will lift you up.
Carefree. Fresh. Playful. Bright.

And for me it lasts all day and I can still smell it on my skin the next day. In the Juicy Couture- Couture and this Juicy Couture- Couture La La the body creams are fantastic!
