Juicy Couture Peace Love and Juicy Couture

Are you a fan of Juicy Couture's fragrances? Do you like the sweet, gourmand, floral vibe that most of them have? Well get ready for a surprise. Their latest offering is totally different from what you are used to from this house. What comes to mind when you think of the swingin 60's? Marijuana aside, it was all about Peace, hope, freedom, new beginnings,experimenting with new concepts,the Beatles and of course hippies :) Juicy couture has captured that psychedelic era beautifully in this perfume.


 Juicy Couture describes it as: Celebrate the freedom of being both hippie and chic with this fragrance that brings alive the free-spirited, sixties-style vibe of Malibu! Drenched in floral accords, this juicy treasure is an aromatic revolution. It allows the wearer to savor the fusion of freshly cut blossoms soaked with wildly feminine wood harmonies. Give Peace, Love & Juicy Couture a chance!
The bottle features groovy turquoise gems, bohemian charms, and girly pom poms.

Peace love and juicy couture is a fresh green fragrance with a teeny bit of sweetness to it. I detect patchouli and hyacinth mixed in with lemons and something herby maybe it's the linden blossom.The florals in it are not too strong making it fresh, outdoorsy and almost unisex. It's the perfect perfume to get for people who hate perfumes if I make any sense.Or that tomboy friend who can't stand sweet girly scents. It reminds me of fresh cut grass mixed in with wet earth after the rain. How can we talk about the 60's and hippies and not mention patchouli. This perfume has a healthy dose of patchouli in it too and is a must for all Patchouli lovers. Unfortunately for me, I can't stand patchouli, so I rarely reach out for this perfume. But I think it's the perfect tribute to the 60s flower power generation.I do not get any sandalwood on my skin and the longevity is 8+ hours on me. I really like the falcon too, very boho chic and the pictures don't do it justice. The cute dogs come with a peace heart between them adorned with a crown this time. Very 60's baby. So get out there and embrace your inner hippie! Peace........

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn’t the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility – John Lennon

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume Review

The perfume Viva la Juicy was presented as a gourmet floral fragrance, which opens with notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin. The heart encompasses a floral blend of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, while the base notes await us with a gourmet rhapsody of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines.

The perfume arrives in a typical Juicy Couture bottle with a charming ribbon of fuchsia colour, as 50 and 100 ml EDP, as well as roll on edition in the amount of 7,5 ml EDP, appropriate for your purse.

Besides the perfume, the collection includes 200 ml rich, luxurious body cream, 250 ml bath and 250 ml body lotion. Viva la Juicy was launched in 2008. Source

Viva La Juicy is the second perfume that juicy couture came out with. To me, it`s a true gourmand. This is a very tasty fragrance ladies. Dominating notes to my nose are, juicy blackcurrants, mandrain orange and nutty praline.Its very cheerful and easy to wear. The bottle comes adorned with a hot pink ribbon and golden juicy couture charms. Isn`t this bottle the cutest!! I just love  bows. The juice inside is as playful and sweet as the bottle.

 I would also like to explain to people who are new to perfumes that top notes are what you smell the minute you spray on the perfume. Top notes stay with you for 5 to 10 minutes in most cases. Middle notes tend to stay for more than an hour or two, sometimes more, depending on the ingredients used. The base notes are which lingers the longest on your skin, and you can smell them as the perfume fades away.


Good For: Spring and summer daytime. People who like sweet gourmands would love this.

Juicy Couture Juicy Couture Perfume Review

My 100ml botttle is from MEDIPLUS Islamabad for $78

Oh how I love Juicy couture. I know. I know, their tacky candy colored overpriced track suits aside, they make cute stuff. And their perfumes are very very nice (to my nose anyway) I got my bottle of their very first perfume release last year. I had a love hate relationship with it for quite a while. It was love at first sight when I saw the gorgeous bottle. Very old school, and comes with a bracelet with charms and I loved it at first sniff. It was summertime when I bought it and very hot and humid. When I put it on for the first time, I liked the opening, but then the scent became too thick, laden with a very strong tuberose note. It was all tuberose for me from the beginning till the end, and I hated it, and got bored with the stuffy old lady smell. I had lost all hopes for it, when in the winters, I gave it another try. OMG! IT WAS GREAT.I could actually smell other notes that everyone kept talking about. The caramel/creme brulee came out the loudest and I could almost taste the burnt/bitter sugar on top of creme brulee. Love it.Very cozy for the winters. Just dont touch it if you live in very hot humid climes. Lasts up to 12 hours on my skin.
