Viva La Juicy Sucre!

Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Sucre has recently hit stores in the UK. 

The bottle design is as over the top as ever. I like the pink spotty bow on this one.
It has top notes of gardenia, mandarin orange and red currant, middle notes of orange blossom, jasmine, peach and almond cream and the base notes are whipped cream, vanilla, sandalwood and cacao. The notes are completely different to the original Viva La Juicy, but I have heard it does smell similar to the original.
I am intrigued to try this fragrance but I am not planning on adding it to my collection. I think it might be too sweet for me.

The Viva La Juicy line has become huge.

There is Viva La Juicy Sucre, the original Viva La Juicy, Viva La Juicy Noir, Viva La Juicy Rose, Viva La Juicy Gold Couture and Viva La Juicy La Fleur.

I am a fan of this line but don't have the Sucre or Gold Couture versions.

The original is by far the most popular. It was first launched in 2008.


There are more Viva La Juicy versions in the range.

Viva La Juicy So Intense, second left, was launched in 2014.

Viva La Juicy Extrait de Parfum was launched in 2016. I like the detail on the bottle for this one.

Viva La Juicy Luxe Parfum was launched in 2013. I'm not keen on the white bottle design.

There is also a 2012 release called Viva La Juicy Nice Stuff For Nice Girl, which comes with a different bottle design, but still has the big, pink bow on it.

It is clear that Juicy Couture is not afraid to cash in on the Viva La Juicy range. I don't think I'll be adding any more Viva La Juicy fragrances to my collection, but if the right one came along I wouldn't rule it out.

Viva La Juicy La Fleur is one of my favourite fragrances and I love the Rose version as well. Of course the original is great too.

I look forward to trying Viva La Juicy Sucre but I'll be surprised if I like it enough to buy it. I expect that it may be too sweet, but I have heard good things about it so you never know!

My Juicy Collection (so far)!

I still haven't purchased Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Noir fragrance, which I was so desperate to try when it first came out earlier this year, but I have plenty of other fragrances from Juicy Couture to keep me going for now.



I love them. I bought them all online (on different occasions) at www.cheapsmells.com, which has now changed its name to www.allbeauty.com.

The site is genuine and often has significant discounts on fragrances and cosmetics.
These are the years which each fragrance was first released.


My fragrances are all 100ml bottles except for Viva La Juicy La Fleur, which was released in a whopping 150ml bottle so I bought that and the original 2006 fragrance, Juicy Couture, which I bought in a 50ml bottle.

I regretted buying the 50ml as it doesn't look as good as the larger chunkier bottles. The lid is the same height as the bottle, whereas the 100ml bottles are taller and also quite a bit wider.
I love the scent though. It has a sharp scent of hyacinth and is a more mature scent than the other Juicy Couture fragrances, which tend to be a bit more young and girly.



The recommended retail price for the 100ml bottles is around £63.00 each, but I have managed to get them online for around £37.00 each, which I think is great value.

I love Viva La Juicy. It is a fruity-floral fragrance and it smells amazing. Covered in bling, with its big, pink, satin bow, the bottle for Viva La Juicy is a beautiful ornament.

Couture Couture has a very different bottle design to the others from Juicy Couture. I love the detailed metal on the lid.
The fragrance has a lovely fruity-floral scent.

Peace, Love and Juicy Couture came next in 2010. It is another fragrance with the same bottle design as Juicy Couture and Viva La Juicy.
If you are not familiar with Juicy Couture's fragrances it is easy to get them mixed up.



My favourite Juicy Couture fragrance is Viva La Juicy La Fleur. The scent is gorgeous. It is the only fragrance that is available in a 150ml bottle, which is lovely and chunky! I even love the box - I love everything about this fragrance.
It does have a similar scent to Viva La Juicy. It is fruity and floral.


Couture La La was released at the end of 2012. Another fruity-floral, but a bit more of a mature scent with lily of the valley giving it a harsher edge.

I do hope to be purchasing Viva La Juicy Noir in the coming months. I have tried testers of it and it is gorgeous.
