9 Best Smelling Juicy Couture Perfumes

Juicy Couture has a full line of highly popular fragrances for ladies. Many of them fit the brand name of being ‘juicy’ in their presentation and ingredients. This perfumes are often sweet, complex, and luxurious.

The Viva la Juicy line is the most famous and has spawned a ton of flankers for the brand, but they do have other options beyond that. I am keeping a curated list of what I think are the top perfumes from Juicy Couture and will update this page as necessary.

I’ve included new releases, as well as, some of the older one’s that may be more difficult to come by these days.


What are the Best Smelling Juicy Couture Perfumes?

Most Popular Perfume

Viva La Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum Spray, 0.5 Ounce
A great fruity/floral perfume from Juicy Couture. This is also a sweet gourmand type of fragrance that has a sugary confectionery vibe to it.

Viva La Juicy opens up with a citrus mandarin orange top note to go along with that familiar creamy aroma of vanilla and delicious caramel. 

It opens with that sweet, upbeat, and girly vibe. However, Viva La Juicy starts to dry down and the floral notes begin to emerge, namely jasmine and honeysuckle. It is much softer and less sweet, once you reach the base of the fragrance, where you’ll get a smooth sandalwood and musk to bolster the composition.

This one starts out rather strong, but will quickly turn into a perfume with essentially moderate sillage. The longevity is good, though, it doesn’t have some crazy 10+ hours of wear.

Viva La Juicy is best used as an everyday wear for the colder months of the year. It really shines in the bitter days of winter, but absolutely can melt in summer.

VIVALAJUICY


Grapefruit Summer

Viva La Juicy Neon– This is a newer fragrance from the Juicy Couture lineup. I almost went with Sweet Diva, but this one is more original and not just a Cloud re-creation.

Neon is led by its grapefruit note, which is surprisingly good and quite realistic in how it comes across. The top is also joined by raspberry and lemon.

This one is a citrus/fruity sort of perfume, but the notes aren’t super sharp (though, juicy).

The dry down is a bit more floral and woody, but the fruity notes keep things going. Orange blossom and a touch of jasmine, on top of a wood base. It’s sweet and fruity for the most part, great lighter sillage for the warmer months of the year.

Flowers Please

Viva La Juicy Petals Please- This is another one that was released in 2022, that’s actually quite likeable. It takes the Viva La Juicy formula into a much more floral focused direction, that is very bouquet-like with how it comes across.

Petals Please opens up fruitier with its cloudberry note, which while being unique, has a light citrusy type of aroma. It’s interesting, not exactly citrus but kind of hits the same way. With that, you still get vanilla and some salty caramel popping up early.

The rose note is a ‘rose water’, which with the freesia gives Petals Please a very slight aquatic feel at times. Magnolia, gardenia, jasmine, and water lily also make appearances.

Though, overall, it’s more a general impression of floral notes without too much distinction between them.

So, sweet caramel and some amber underneath a bouquet of flowers. Not anything too groundbreaking, but a pretty and wearable release for floral perfume lovers from Juicy Couture.


Top Newer Juicy Release

Juicy Couture Glow 3 Piece Fragrance Gift Set, 3 Count.– Oui Glow is one of the flankers from Juicy’s original Oui perfume. Oui Splash was also a fun one for the summer months, as a pineapple laced aquatic.

Glow is described by the brand, “This illuminating fragrance adds an additional layer of addiction to her already provocative personality and amplifies her edgy yet playful appeal.”

The orange is the dominant fruit, but it is paired with a sweet and bright raspberry in the opening act. Very summery scent with jasmine playing the lead in the floral department. Oui Glow is a fruity/floral perfume that leans heavily towards the fruity end of the spectrum.

It dries down with some slightly woodsy aromas and fresh spice provided by cassis, moss, and pink pepper.  Not super complex or unique, but an easy one to wear and enjoy.


Kiwi and Citrus Floral

Viva La Juicy Soiree- Soiree is a fresh and fruity take on the Viva La Juicy formula. Pink kiwi is the unique main note here, it’s delicious, and supported by a great mandarin orange ingredient.

Soiree, as a perfume, isn’t all that complicated but it smells wonderful. The fruity top notes are joined by lily and jasmine, sitting underneath. Some light musk and wood notes, at the base.

The performance is solid, with 7 hours of moderate sillage, and a clean profile. This is a sweet fragrance, for those who want something lighter, and less ‘thick’ than the original Viva La Juicy. Yet, one which still very much fits that style. Nice spring/summer wear. Viva La Juicy Soiree Full Review


Best White Floral Perfume

Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 fl. oz.
Juicy Couture’s namesake fragrance is a celebration of white floral notes, with lily and tuberose. The opening is where you’ll get the blast of crisp fruit notes.

There’s watermelon and apple, this gets paired with vanilla and caramel. However, these notes get quickly pushed into the background in favor of the floral dominance.

Tuberose is the main attraction, with lily slightly less noticeable, but still totally there. The aroma is creamy and slightly sugary with vanilla and caramel in supporting roles. Juicy Couture can be somewhat brash at the beginning but it settles down somewhat later.

It’s important to note that, the white florals aren’t the usual old-lady flowers in many other floral-centric perfumes. The sweeter notes that surround it help to temper that tendency.

This EDP is a solid choice for someone who wants a modern smelling white floral perfume with good longevity and strength. It’s fresh and conjures up thoughts of a spring day.

Best Viva La Juicy for Summer

Juicy Couture Viva La Fleur Eau de Toilette Spray, 5 fl. oz.
A dynamic and flirty fragrance with notes such as mandarin, berries, caramel, and vanilla. It isn’t overpowering, however, La Fleur is a soft and warm perfume.

It starts out with those same sort of fruity notes that you find in the original Viva La Juicy, but there are red berries in this one, that are quite strong. However, after that initial run, Viva La Fleur takes on its own identity by shifting more into a floral fragrance.

Gardenia is the strongest of the floral notes and is paired with jasmine and honeysuckle. It is quite clean and has an upbeat personality. La Fleur isn’t an overpowering perfume and can be worn daily and is safe enough to be worn on many different occasions.

It does have a more youthful scent, but it isn’t a ‘teeny-bopper’, scent by any means. Though, someone that age could indeed wear it.

Sparkling Champagne, Rose, and Jasmine

Viva La Juicy Rosé– This version opens up with a champagne-like bubbly aroma, as the name suggests. I really like that start, as I find it to be invigorating. It only lasts about 10 minutes, but it’s good.

Rose then move on to a more traditional floral/fruity perfume. You get rose, with that is brought together with fruit notes such as, mandarin and pear. It is a balanced scent, then, goes floral in the dry down.

Peony and jasmine share the most noticeable aspect of the latter stages with rose, amber, and some orris. Finally, it’s mostly rose. But, you do get good performance, and it smells attractive overall. Viva La Juicy Rose Review


Mature Dark Plum and Floral

Juicy Couture Couture Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 fl. oz.
Another sweet scent though this one is much darker and quite rich, but still a floral. Notes include: orange, grapefruit, honeysuckle, plum, vanilla, sandalwood, and jasmine.

The plum note along with the citrus ingredients really do the job of setting Couture apart from the rest of the Juicy perfumes on the list.

The citrus seems to be most present at the start and the plum is the fruit note that sticks around the most. Vanilla and amber flank the floral notes to give it a creamy warmth.

Jasmine takes the lead and has its own little blending experience with the plum note and that great honeysuckle found in these Juicy Couture fragrances is floating around in air.

Couture is skews a tad older than the others, but it doesn’t feel outdated by any means. It’s layered and has complexity, with a solid performance. It’s a nice change of pace, while sticking to the brand’s character.

Viva La Juicy Rosé EDP by Juicy Couture

For today’s entry, I have another ladies’ fragrance by Juicy Couture, and the last sample from this brand, that I currently hold. Viva La Juicy Rosé eau de parfum came out a few years back in 2015 and is one of the array of flanker fragrances to the ever popular original Viva La Juicy. How does this one stack up? What are the notes? Does it perform well? Is it even worth a buy?

Before I get into my own review of Viva La Juicy Rosé, let’s see what Juicy Couture has to say about it: Celebrate with Viva La Juicy Rosé, a springtime toast to the forever bubbly Viva girl. An irresistible bouquet of honey-like pink blossoms pops with fizzy citrus perfection and is kissed by the glow of sensual amber. Cheers!

My Full Wear Review

The opening of Viva La Juicy Rosé is very interesting, as it actually does capture the sparkling bubbly aroma of Rosé champagne. It retains this exact smell for roughly 10 minutes, before moving on into a more traditional floral blend, but that opening is kind of great.

Rose is the main attraction in this fragrance. It isn’t super strong but it is the most noticeable note. At the start, there is more of a fruit influence with the Italian mandarin and pear notes, and the warmth of amber.

It is actually very pleasant and quite a beautiful perfume, at this point. It has a pinkish sort of smell, that strikes a balance between being too sweet and too floral. Bright, but not obscenely annoying. Yes, this is a pinkish rose and not a red one.

As it dries down, the other floral notes become more pronounced and the fruits fall back somewhat. I mainly pick up on jasmine and then some peony. What’s interesting, is that, as it moves further along, the mandarin begins to peak out again.

What I’m ultimately left with is a more floral version of the sparkling champagne opening. The notes at that point are mainly: rose, peony, mandarin, amber, orris, and some pear.


Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, the sillage of Rosé is moderate to strong. It never felt very light on the skin, but this one isn’t a complete bomb, either. It’s a solid projection, with maybe a 3-5 foot radius, around the wearer.

The opening hour or so does bring some power, so, don’t overspray. Thereafter, it’s noticeable and not something that I could characterize as airy.

The longevity is somewhere around 7 hours, maybe a bit longer, but all you can detect is the rose note really, at that point. Pretty solid. This flanker isn’t an absolute beast performer, though, it is certainly passable for most purposes.

Coming back to testing this one again. Yep, about 7-7.5 hours of wear, on my skin.

This is an attractive and upbeat fragrance that is great for the warmer days of the year. It’s light enough to be worn at work, can be worn casually, and has enough sexiness for later in the evening.

It isn’t a serious fragrance, but I do think that it elevates above the standard teenage fair. Sure, it’s bubbly and girly but never feels child-like. It comes across as being quite clean and presentable. There are obviously gourmand elements, but it isn’t an enveloping or dominant sort of perfume.


Overall Impressions of Viva La Juicy Rosé

Overall, do I like Viva La Juicy Rosé? Yes, I think it is a very attractive scent, that is both playful and pleasant. This Juicy Couture never takes itself too seriously and just does its own thing without being presumptuous or too niche to be enjoyable.

I really like the champagne-style vibes in the opening act, along with the fruity notes. Pear gives it the sparkle and mandarin the citrus deliciousness.

It’s got a great energy to it. The dry down, is pretty basic with the floral notes. That along with the amber, is what you can expect from many of these Juicy Couture perfumes.

It’s a very nice addition to the Juicy Couture lineup and a worthy flanker to Viva La Juicy. It’s not an amazing scent, nor is it super unique. It does everything well, though, and if you can get it for a good price; it can definitely be worth a try.

It’ll help if you enjoy rose, peony, and mandarin orange.

Royal Rose by Juicy Couture

Taking a break from the Tom Ford reviews for a minute, I wanted to do a write up on another Juicy Couture perfume sample that I received a while back, this one titled: Royal Rose. It was released in 2017 and with a name like that is obviously going to be centered around that famous flower. How does it perform? How do the other notes interact with the rose? Is it any good?


What does Juicy Couture Royal Rose Smell Like?

Notes include: rose, incense, suede, musk, heliotrope


My Full Review

Before we get into the review itself, let’s see what Juicy Couture has to say about this fragrance: Royal Rose evokes a mystical world of romance and enchantment. Sumptuous rose and heliotrope stir the spirit while suede and incense shroud the scent in luxury.

The opening of Royal Rose is a rather sharp blend of rose and heliotrope. The rose note comes off as sort of a bomb, in terms of how intense it is and the aroma has an oriental sort of flavor to it.

Meanwhile, there is the smoky incense, which serves to warm up the composition and clouds the floral notes, in its mist.

About 15 minutes in, I start to detect suede and more musk. This is where to rose tones down a bit and Royal Rose becomes smoother.

The strange thing about this Juicy Couture fragrance is that the rose which is in the name, gets weaker as the scent moves along, until its almost non-existent. You’ll eventually get lots on incense, musk, some heliotrope, and suede. Warm, smoky, earthy.

There really isn’t much development at all beyond that. The rose just really falls off of a cliff.


Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, the sillage of Royal Rose is actually quite strong. This one will only require a few sprays to be effective and can definitely take over a room. The performance is probably the best attribute of this perfume and better than many other Juicy scents.

The longevity is also really great, with at least 8-9 hours of solid wear, and some extra hours sitting closer to the skin.

Seasonally, this one should stick to the colder months of the year. It’s not going to be great to have on during the summertime or anything like that. It can be worn casually or dressed up.

If you go light, it might be office safe, but one must be easy with the sprayer. It’s not really a sexy or a scent that draws people in, so I wouldn’t call it all that versatile or crowd pleasing.


Overall Impressions of Royal Rose

Overall, do I like Royal Rose? Not really. The Juicy Couture scent just isn’t that good. It starts off powerfully and has good performance, which are its strengths.

However, it doesn’t have a really attractive scent, the rose kind of just goes away, and there’s way too much of a musky smokiness.

The thing is, that aspect isn’t even a great example of this sort of scent. It’s all kind of bland, while being in your face about it. A strange release from this brand which usually tries to go super ‘crowd pleasing’ with its perfumes.

I’m not sure where this fits in or who to recommend it to. It’s pretty niche, in its appeal. I’d say pass on it.

Update: This one has been discontinued, anyway. Unless you can find a bottle for dirt cheap, don’t bother getting a hold of Royal Rose.
