Damn. This perfume…is perfection. Anything that have vanilla, caramel, sweet fruity kind of scent are always very sexy to me, but viva la juicy Noir are beyond sexy to me, theres no words to describe this anymore. Is my signature scent till today. I always repurchased this perfume whenever I almost run out of it. I know this perfume reminds me of victoria secret noir, because they are similar just that viva la juicy’s noir have better performance and better sillage and offcourse different messages because it has more depth in it. This perfume got me lots of compliments from people. If you want your boyfriend to remember and miss you everyday this is definitely the perfume that you need. It is an easy night scent too. This perfume scent make me feel confident and whenever i feel sad i am gonna spray me some of this perfume to make feel better.
Well i better stop reviewing about this perfume cause I can get mad and crazy and Idk… thats such a liquid emotion.

This has potential!
It starts out with a solid berry scent that is a little on the dark side. Blackberries and currents, maybe something redder in the mix. This isn’t a candy berry, just fresh and juicy.
There is some sweetness separate from the berry but it’s doesn’t have the richness of Carmel. Maybe it should have been labeled raw sugar?
Beyond that I don’t find this particularly gourmand. The vanilla blends with the the floral notes to create something creamy, but more like a lotion creme than something you’d want to eat. The flowers smell pretty synthetic, but in a way that adds to the toiletry affect and isn’t a bad thing.
As it settles down the sandalwood mikes it airier, which wasn’t something I realized sandalwood could do. At this point it is light and I occasionally think it has faded, but then it comes back. The berry note is much less pronounced but still occasionally noticeable. I’ve read that this can be temperature sensitive and I am testing it on a sunny autumn day in a coastal town so the weather is pretty moderate.
I’m looking forward to exploring this more.
Kolbass – :
Heavenly, heavenly berries.
This is so juicy and sweet it’s intoxicating. I get berries drizzled in thick caramel with gardenia and honeysuckle petals.
I don’t get a ‘noir’ vibe from this at all. But I get an amazingly sweet, well-done gourmand that just screams ice-cream and indulgence. My favourite of the Viva La Juicy flankers, I need a full bottle asap.
Longevity: 2-4 hours
Sillage: Can fill a room within first 30 mins, however, sits cozily to the skin after.
echigivaro – :
Its a gorgeous fruity sexy girly scent that is a definite compliment getter. I wear it in casual scenarios and many people noticed it mainly my male friends and the taxi driver while i was just out of store buying it, i rode with him 2 minutes later he said: the perfume u r wearing is really nice. Its a staple in my collection. Sexy and Flirty and that’s all what we need.

Viva La Juicy Noir by Juicy Couture
Am I wearing Viva La Juicy, am I wearing Gran Ballo by Xerjoff? They all smell the same.
Viva La Juicy Noir Is a white floral drizzled with caramel, accompanied with some berries and a prominent honeysuckle.
Comes in the typical over the top juicy bottle. This bottle is bright metallic pink with a big black bow. Either you adore the bottles or dislike them immensely.
The fragrance has good sillage, but the longevity could be better.
redstar – :
I got a brand new 3.4 bottle of this off eBay for $19. And that’s about how much it’s worth!
A fruity-caramel blast on top of light woods and musk. This “Noir” version seems brighter and juicer than the original, but is still sadly lacking in longevity and sillage. Hard to take the Juicy Couture perfumes seriously when they are obviously just as half-assed as the Victoria’s Secret fragrances. No real effort or originality went in to making this scent. It’s a straight-up copy of Tease imo. But the bottle is pretty, and for what I paid I can afford to reapply. It’s a pleasant, preppy sort of smell. I’m 30 and I like it so I wouldn’t say it’s just for younger girls.
Scent 7/10
Sillage 5/10
Longevity 4/10
ZloiHomka – :
I was excited to try this perfume, but it was so mediocre to me. I’m literally annoyed. It opens up generically sweet and then the sweetness disappears and all you are left with is an even more generic perfume scent that disappears quickly. I think we all smelled that generic perfume scent I am talking about. The scent that doesn’t have anything particular jumping at you. Nothing sweet or warm or musky or fresh anything. Not even gender specific.
Mind you, I actually like scents that often get called generic like most celebrity perfumes. However, this one just takes the cake. I never tried a perfume so underwhelming. It seems to be just as good as not wearing anything at all. I would not bat an eye at anyone wearing this perfume. This is the third juicy couture perfume I tried and they are all like this. Nothing stands out. I can’t even tell them apart. Even celebrity perfumes perform better and have more uniqueness.
I would give this a 5/10. Not bad, but boring.
aleks28 – :
VLJ Noir reminds me of VS Tease, so much so that I was thoroughly disappointed when I received my bottle in the mail after blind-buying based off of Jeremy Fragrance’s raving review. Although VLJ Noir is much brighter and less musky than VS Tease, when first sprayed I virtually cannot tell them apart. I love the notes in this fragrance, and I love how fruity-sweet the scent is, but it does not last with my chemistry whatsoever. I use this as a fresh after shower scent or as a pick me up. I sometimes wear this to work as it is non-offensive although I am disappointed that the scent does not linger. I was expecting compliments left and right with no luck. The bottle does look gorgeous on my dresser though!
denis 125 – :
Viva La Juicy Noir is very nice.
The sweet, oozy caramel is delicious but I couldn’t wear it every day or even every week.
This is coming from a gourmand dessert obsessed girl who wants to smell like cake every day.
I guess caramel isn’t my favorite dessert.
I think my fiance likes it more than I do so if I were to get a bottle it would mostly for him, date nights ect.
Love the bottle!
Seljanin – :
I got a really good deal on this perfume on Beauty Brands website and I have heard so many good things about this perfume so I REALLY wanted to love it. Sadly I don’t really like it. It’s far from awful, but it isn’t wonderful either. It is very strong and it lasts a long time so if you like the scent that’s a plus. I received many compliments when wearing this. But it gave me a headache. Sadly I am returning this perfume.
dimonberlin – :
I liked the idea of white florals, which I love, mixed with fruity sweetness, which I sometimes love.
I was a bit underwhelmed, though, especially with this being the “noir” version. As many others have said, there’s nothing noir about this.
That being said, it’s not unpleasant. It’s the sort of scent I would compliment on someone else (assuming I could smell it. The sillage is beyond soft with no longevity, but according to the votes, this does last longer and project farther on some people).
Fruity and sweet without being juvenile, and I do like the hint of white floral. Not remotely fbw for me, but I can definitely see why it’s popular.
Opirwayrima – :
A nice fragrance, which does not smell noir in any way to me.
On one hand, there are the berries, vanilla and caramel, and on the other hand, the white flowers, amber and sandalwood. Gourmand meets oriental/floral. I especially like the gardenia in this, which gives the fragrance something creamy, which is a nice addition to the fruity notes.
Sillge is soft, longevity is about 3-4 hours.
blsat – :
This is so pretty but it really doesn’t last on my skin. I have this gorgeous hit and then nothing. It is such a shame. I would buy it in a heartbeat if it had some staying power but even after an hour my husband has a hard time discerning the fragrance and the response was the same when I asked a few friends and randoms. They should reformulate and make it better!
adler393 – :
So this was pretty much a blind buy for me. I love white florals, santalwood and a nice vanilla boost so I knew this would be something that could possibly suit me. I could buy the 30 ml for a really nice price online, so after reading a lot about it, I did.
I never smelled the other JC fragrances so I can’t compare it to others.
I sprayed it twice on my wrist, and it opened with a really big punch of berries. I could only smell that. berries. I thought.. oh man this better not be that kind of girly, britney, 16 year old fragrance. Turning 27 this month, I wasn’t up for that.
But! after a little while the berries balanced out and the caramel and amber took over. This is really nice, soft and creamy with just a hint of berry.
But……. I sprayed it an hour ago and i can barely smell it.. 🙁
vladislav™ – :
This was a successful blind buy for me. I wanted to buy VLJ Gold but it was out of stock. Noir was 50% off and the shop assistant told me that it was pretty similar so I bought it without even smelling it. I don’t know what I was thinking when I did that but I am so glad that I actually bought it.
First of all, let me start by saying that the reason why I wanted a juicy couture fragrance is that I was looking for something young, playful and fun. If I wanted something more sophisticated I would have looked somewhere else. So I really don’t understand the people who complain that the VLJ line smells “teenager-ish”. They are not being marketed as sophisticated and mature scents after all. And yes, they smell kind of “cheap” but in a good way in my opinion, that’s why they are so youthful. Juicy couture fragrances are exactly what they promise to be.
VLJ Noir is very fruity and sweet. I am glad I got this one instead of Gold because I prefer fruity sweetness to surgary sweetness. Wild berries are the dominant note but I do get a very slight caramel scent here and there. It’s very well blended though and all the other notes compliment the berries. It does smell sexy and seductive to me but in a youthful way. I actually can’t imagine anyone younger than 16 years old wearing this one. I find it more suitable for a young adult. Also men seem to love it, it’s perfect for a date.
I can’t say much about sillage and longevity. I thought the sillage was bad after wearing it for at least 4 hours but I received compliments on it so people could smell it. After 5 hours it moves even closer to the skin but around the 8 hour mark I could still smell it here and there. It’s one of those fragrances that I don’t smell that much on myself 15 minutes after spraying it but other people can smell it for hours so I can’t really tell how long it lasts or how big the sillge is.
The only thing that I regret is that I got the 50ml bottle instead of the 100ml one. I absolutely love it and I will definitely buy it again.
zotow17 – :
Recently I tested this out. I am super impressed with this one. It takes on a more ,stuff role than the original Viva La Juicy perfume. Usually I don’t really care for fruity type of fragrances since they can come out as smelling synthetic (the same can go for floral tbh) but this along with some other perfumes in the Viva La Juicy line are exceptions. I’m actually not sure if this is because my tastes are changing as of late or what but it feels really good to broaden my horizons out a little.
Do I like it enough to get it? Yeah, actually I do. Preferably full sized bottle actually. I don’t really know how long it’s going to last on me and I also don’t know the what the sillage will be in my experience. Nevertheless though, I still plan to get it and use the bottle up. As for ages, well… anyone can wear it, I think. Teenager, young adult, adult, and anything above. This, like many other perfumes I have reviewed really does not have a designated age to wear it.
One thing I will say though regarding age is if you have been using the original Viva La Juicy as a signature scent or just in general and are looking for a upgrade I would strongly recommend this. Because it has some more depth compared to its original counterpart, and thus in my opinion is a pretty big improvement. I enjoy viva la juicy and the playful side the smell has, but this helps separate the line from other lines in the sense the scents are varied and very diverse. Something I genuinely enjoy.
свет – :
This is a beautiful fruity-floral. Its more mature, classy and grown up than Viva La Juicy Gold. It smells like fresh red berries and white florals, after a while you also get a hint of caramel. I would wear this all year all day. When I first smelled it I was reminded of the summer season because it is such a fruity and cheerful fragrance.
azadorov – :
Today I purchased this beaut.
I have the original, Gold and Sucre and now this. I went in to smell it at my local and thought “hmmm it’s really similar to the rest” and they are definitely from the same family. However, after I got it home I smelt Oringinal and Gold and my my my it is actually quite different. I wouldn’t compare the three honestly.
Noir is much more sweet berry cantered. Definitely a recommended for someone looking for a sweet frag that’s not a sugar sweet.
Happy with the purchase and the fact it was down to $70 for a 100ml !!!
servka – :
Smells more like VS Noir Tease than JC Viva La Juicy. LOVE the light “darkness” in here. So feminine and sexy. I actually prefer this one over the JC Viva La Juicy as it has a “depth” to it, not “loud” and “bold” on the surface as Viva La Juicy. It is definitely a sweet and rich fragrance for grown women 🙂 If you like “sweet”, and a fan of VS and JC fragrances…like I am, you’ll like this one or at least will appreciate it with time for sure.
Well…I tried. And that is how I describe this one to my best knowledge and imagination 🙂
I’m in my late 40s and still wear Forever21’s clothes (as that is one of the very few stores that have my size AND style in clothing). I believe that age has nothing to do with how you SHOULD smell like. Your taste in fashion actually determines your fragrance or which scents would suit you the best for your character!
lerik-valerik17 – :
Compared to the original and Gold Couture, this one is the best out of the bunch. This one has more prominent fruity vibe, wild berries which keep swetness from caramel tamed. Very tamed. The original and Gold had that caramel sweet vibe, very girly, feminine but more on the teenager girl side. This one is more smooth, more mature and darker, richer. It is sweet, but more fruity sweet than sugar caramel. The dry down is better as well where it’s more fresher and not simply a sweet candy bomb like Gold and the original. I like that a lot.
If the original and Gold where like 18, then this is their 28 year old sister. I’d say a young mature woman can wear this, from 28 till maybe 40. I love this on my gf. Lasts longer and isn’t that much sickeningly sweet, like the sweetness you find in many women’s frags. It’s why I love this one because women should be just wearing overly sweet frags because they’re women. So this one is… perfect for that.
pasha22 – :
It smells great, mature yet young. It lasts a while, you can’t go wrong with it.
bear72 – :
Lets wait for this to blow up the price in any store after jeremy fragrance reviews this on his youtube.
ebo116speagoessenda – :
Smokiness, berries and caramel. It’s sweet, but it’s not the type of sweet that you want to taste, because the black smoky feel of it takes that away.
It’s the complete opposite of Black Opium, which only smells like vanilla cake with no darkness at all in it.
slimjoke – :
Is there rose? I guess no, but first minutes I got association with it. Sweet little black dress. There is something chemically fruity. Vanilla in background. It is good for what it is, but for me annoying. Not sure why, maybe too much sweet. It’s sweet, but have fresh feel. For young woman who don’t mind to refer to her self as girl or for teenager girl who wants to feel older.
nie451Diobtetty – :
My least favourite from Juicy Couture. Not sure what it is… but something seems off. There’s a note I really don’t like. Something that smells very artificial. I think it’s the berries. As another reviewer said it’s like this cheap syrup-ey smell. I liked it at first but then ended up selling it. I collect Juicy bottles so I was disappointed to have to let this one go but I just wasn’t using it. I think the mixture of berries, with florals, and then caramel over top just made a very strange pairing. This is definitely a strong fragrance though, and lasts a long time. I would say it’s not appropriate for office wear but really good for evening or going out. It’s definitely a very sensual scent, similar to one of Dior’s poisons, but add caramel to it. I much prefer Juicy Couture Rosé, Gold Couture, or the new Soirée. But try the original plain Juicy Couture before you buy this. You may find the original is better.
shandoga – :
I think I’m hooked on VLJ collection.
It all started with the original, then Gold Couture and now this one. Bought it two weeks after I bought Gold. Can’t determine which one is my favourite, but I really love this combination of sweetness and berries. I think this would be my No 1.
Would like to get entire collection, but I’m not sure if others are this good. Either way, bottles are so cute, really girly/feminine and they suit the magical liquid in them.
doc_doc – :
my favorite of the viva la juicy line.
сcohedonk – :
was about to get Gold Couture but because it was on sale, the store manager told me to buy the Noir one instead (which wasnt on sale) bcs he said it smells nicer and the sillage is better.
great marketing skill that guy, i fell for it although i wouldve chosen Gold over this. He’s not entirely wrong about Noir though, cs Noir actually lasts a lot longer than the original Viva La Juicy.
And compliments at that. Yes it smells like sugar coated wild berries, not too cloying that it gives u a headache.
Moderate sillage which is perfect for parties, nightclubs where u’ll be close to people (an inoffensive scent). the dry down is sooooo good. somehow i can smell the caramel in this than the original one?
anyways, 9/10. The one point goes to sillage. I prefer my scents stronger.
georieDueni – :
So sad this just sit on my skin. No sillage at all… I have to sniff very close to my skin to smell the scent. And a bottle cap is a way too loose,must beware when grab the bottle.
CahGlaphblata – :
Viva la juicy plus dark berries. Sexy, sweet, I love it!
GenericProdeciBas – :
Smells like a mixture of berries and viva la juicey. But this scent does stand out a bit from the rest.
It smells so feminine but soo delicious as well 🙂
I did a blind buy for a christmas gift for my sister (she’s 36) and she loved it so much that its her current signature perfume. When i smelled it off of her I realized I just bought her a real good perfume!
Berries mix with viva la juicey! Now I wear this and original juicey couture quite often. Draws a lot of compliments from men and women.
ghenai – :
My favourite of the VLJ line, for two reasons. 1. It’s as gorgeous as the original but more intense and a bit more berries and less caramel. 2. The bottle is sooo pretty. The bow looks so extra added on the lid and I love it haha
lamovd91 – :
I got as a sample from Ulta. I tried this out for a week before writing this review. To be honest, this smells like a watered down VLJ with added berries. Which would be great for those who liked the original but found it too powerful for them, and likes the smell of berries. I found this to last 2-3 hours tops, then it disappears without a trace.
rjurikovich – :
This smells amazing, sweet scent of sugary berries! I love the smell, but unfortunately it does not last more than 2-3 hours on me 🙁 Love the scent so much that I still do not regret the buy 🙂
DakeMaike – :
Of all the Viva La Juicy variations, this is my least favorite. The scent is just straight up cheap syrupy berries. It’s not nearly as enjoyable as the delicious, decadent creamy original VLJ, Gold Couture or even Sucre. Berry notes are fine if done correctly but even in the original the generic cheap berry notes are my least favorite. In this perfume that note is upped even more and it’s nauseating!
electrosound12 – :
I am in love with Juicy Noir! I bought this perfume blindly just by reading reviews and such. The original Viva La Juicy has been my signature scent for several years. However after buying Juicy Noir, this is now my signature scent. It is perfect!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tauckigiscoca – :
This smells like how Froot Loops taste. Recently bought the 100ML bottle, I love it.
timoti1 – :
It smells sickly sweet like bubblegum at first. Then it dries down super generic, a lot of people smell like this. Sort of heavy too.
3vald – :
The scent is alluring and extremely girly.
The packaging is adorable, glamorous and sexy.
I feel like I’ve smelt a lot of fragrances like this one before, but it still managed to grab my attention when I first tried it on. I had the original Juicy Couture and also Gold Couture. I like Noir the most. IMO the packaging is also the best. I wasn’t all crazy about the pink badge on Gold Couture.
The scent is kinda simple, but super yummy, feminine and flirty. The only issue is the performance. It’s not an EDP, not even an EDT, on me it’s like a body spray. It’s the weakest fragrance I’ve ever owned. It becomes a body scent after 1-2 hours and poofs not long after that. However, it’s a great scent for someone close to you. It’s soon become my hubby’s new favourite, so I will keep it. plus the bottle just looks really pretty.
Overall I love the scent enough to keep it in my collection. I just wish the quality matches the price tag of this fragrance. I promised myself never buy anything watered down, this one is an exemption.
Vikki_44_ – :
Berries and Cream Candy. Sweet, and not at all dark. I feel like I have smelled this before in a hundred other places, like Bath and Body Works or Victoria’s Secret. Not my thing.
alteldtak – :
I feel this one is the best out of the Viva la juicy line.
I love the “fruity pebbles” scent in the beginning. I’m not typically a fan of fruity scents.. However this one is somehow creamy. It opens like fruity pebbles in milk. Maybe it the Vanilla or caramel note. For that reason I like the scent.
But underneath that creamy fruitiness is the regular Ol “Viva la Juicy”. Which I am not a fan of at all. After smelling the Nicki Minaj line. It now reminds me too much of her scents. Which to me are lower end dupes of “Viva la juicy”.
With that being said I love this for the creamy fruit and that’s all she wrote.
If they would tone down a bit of the Viva notes, I’d be in love.
I am currently wearing a sample and it’s hugging me with creaminess.I hope I dont start getting compliments. I may have to go get another sample.
ciiuhmvltbs – :
VERY similar to the original Viva, but with a bit more floral edge. Not a long lasting one on me for sure. Tops 2 hours, then POOF….gone. Of the Juicy line, the Gold has been the only one to make it through the day.
But I must say, LOVE THE BOTTLE COLOR AND BLACK BOW! They sure know how to get you with the packaging. Looks great on a perfume tray!
DimoN_DndZ – :
This is the best version of Viva La Juicy, in my opinion. I LOVE the berry note, and I would say this is suitable for day or night. It’s definitely a compliment getter and lasts a decent amount of time.
Sanyab4ik – :
This does smell the same as viva la juicy but it has the icy berries in the opening. I like normal viva la juicy better to be honest, the berries just seem really random. This fragrance is nice, I dont mind it but I probably wouldnt have bought this if I had tested it first Lol. Its a beautiful bottle to have in my collection though. I really should have got the gold version, I think that would have been more to my liking!
Poolellexhaub – :
My signature scent is Viva La Juicy Gold Couture, and this is her lovely younger sister. I actually love it. It’s more fruity and tangy than Gold Couture, and it doesn’t have the synthetic notes of the first Viva La Juicy. I love tangy berries, but I still prefer Gold Couture because it has more warmth. They are different enough to own both though, I’m just too poor to do that to myself.
Said295 – :
I love this one best ,it just smells so nice on me fruity tutti the one in the yellow flanker is ok but this one I love more .
FaLLout_MaN – :
Real simple.
It’s the original Viva La Juicy with the only difference being in the very beginning, opening up with a burst of Fruity Pebbles berries smell.
This lasts for 5 minutes max and you’re left with the original Viva La Juicy of a floral, warm/caramel smell.
The smell is amazing so I voted above with a “love” however…unless you’re a collector of the bottles themselves, there’s no point in having this one AND the original Viva La Juicy in your collection.
Also, I feel obligated to mention that I do wish it were more concentrated. I only get about 3-4 hours out of this and only 2 of those does it project a couple feet.
Smell Itself – 9/10
Longevity – 6/10
Projection – 6/10
The smell is amazing but with performance taken into consideration…I would give this one a 7 or 8.
Thumbs up on the scent itself but make us a “Viva La Juicy Intense” please! 🙂
Propaynenry – :
Lovely, sweet, and cute scent. Viva La Jiucy Noir has nothing “noir” about it, it is a softer and more creamy version of the Viva La Juicy. Very candy like and girly.
A sweet fruity gourmand with some white florals in the background. Very pretty, but not that original in this day and age. Still Lovely tho.
The bottle is my favourite so far in the Juicy Couture line. Very pretty with the black bow and pink glass.
Longevity is medium (about 2-4h), and sillage too.
Wyatttk – :
Same with Viva La Juicy but a little bit soft,innocent,creamy…
Hmmmm charming scent…
And of course I always love all of Viva La Juicy.. Always and Always…
brylik – :
Such a beautiful and soft scent.It’s sad that this one is so short-lived and doesn’t last more than just 1 hour. Silage is even worse,no one including yourself isn’t gonna make any notice of this inoffensive scent. Amazing smell though.
Since it is quite pricey,longevity shouldn’t be an issue. If we pay much money,we mean that we want the scent to last at least 3 hours. What the heck!
VHoqgQ – :
I agree with all the others who point out that Viva La Juicy Noir should be Viva La Juicy Jour…it is a sunny, light, warm, soft, innocent scent. I actually always want this sort of essence swirling around me, day and night, so I’m fine with it!
Recently I sampled Britny Spears Private Show and the gentle softness turned into a heavier chocolate. Noir is what I hoped that would be! Sweet, tempered by a creamy powdery modesty that does not scream teenager.
I had a gift card for JC Penney which their Sephora shop accepted. I bought Noir immediately! I’ve had a heavy dose on for the last 3 hours or so, and the rich, quiet sweetness is getting better and better. I happened to be in Victoria’s Secret checking out their sales after Sephora, and spritzed on a few tempting fragrances on my other wrist. Comparing Noir with anything else validated that I’d bought a winner! Its mellow, feminine aura made the contenders seem chemical, juvenile, and as if I’d sniffed them one hundred times before.
Glad I didn’t stick to my “Mo more buying perfumes!” resolution!
I recommend this for all my soft, feminine, sweet-powdery-gourmand sisters who are grown ups now!
drej8 – :
It’s probably totally just my chemistry, but on me this is Viva La Juicy with one added note… stale beer. lol I don’t understand what went wrong. Now, like I said, this is probably totally different on other people’s skin. I truly don’t want to piss anybody off who loves it, but it’s just like the original VLJ with a added side note of alcoholic hobo. lol
Obviously this was not a win for me. I really thought I would love it based on the reviews of added berry notes but I guess the berries in my bottle fermented. Ha! My friend called dibs on my bottle and I told her “Sure, come get it.” I’ll update if she has the same problem because in that case maybe my bottle is just bad?
Anyhoo, my last beef with it is, this is nowhere near a dark or “noir” scent. Like, at. All. So that’s weird. But hey, the bottle is pretty rad!
Aqwess11 – :
Tried a little wannabe version of this, found it intriguing. Ended up throwing it away in a move but I do want to try the real thing. It has a certain something to it, a distinct modern soft something that must be even more pronounced in the actual EDP. I liked sleeping in it.
tigr555 – :
There’s something strange and soothing about this one. It’s got the berries which brightens it but the caramel is done in such a way where it is richer and darkens the notes, while amber rounds out the scent. It reminds me for some reason of the wind and rain. Its kind of hard to describe.
LordMaul – :
Similar to Viva La Juicy but less caramel-balmy and more berry fruity cough syrupy. Not my personal preference of the line since I do not like berry notes in perfumes, but I am sure it has its fans.
Young, innocent, uncomplicated and sweet, if I’m honest it smelled a bit cheap to my nose but not unpleasant; just not my cup of tea really.I enjoy the original and gold viva la juicy though.
gavr160970 – :
After viva la juicy gold,which I like it very much,I decided to buy noir
Viva la juicy noir is a very pretty fragrance,it’s scent is as pretty as it’s bottle but this is the only thing I can say about it.there’s nothing really noir here.everything is pretty and mild.it’s a combination of berries,sweet notes(caramel and vanilla)and soft white florals,all of these notes are delicate and none of them is intense or overdone.I can’t see anyone disliking this,it’s very inoffensive,safe and feminine.it’s sweetness isn’t sickly,sugary or sharp so it’s wearable almost everywhere.it has a girly sweetness so is very suitable for young girls but I think is also easily wearable for all ladies in all age groups.although it’s sweet,I find it a year round perfume.I prefer it in mild weather but all in all this can be a summary gourmand
To be honest I’m disappointed and if I go back in time I won’t buy it.I prefer gold version which is warmer,sweeter and more caramelly.however now that I own a full 3.4 oz bottle of noir,I’m gonna use it happily,because it smells very pretty
I think this one is a great choice as a gift,especially for young ladies,no one can hate it and it’s bottle is adorable.so keep it in mind as a good gift and a versatile perfume.it can be a great first perfume
Longevity and sillage are both less than moderate.it stays 4 hours on my skin with barely moderate sillage during first hour and turns to a skinscent after that

Berries & Honeysuckle is what i smell and this is my 2nd favorite juicy scent! The bottle once again is gorgeous. And of course the vanilla is lightly blended into all of these scents perfectly!
