My Perfume Collection - Updated, featuring Marc Jacobs & YSL


I'm a big fan of perfume as it always makes me feel expensive and special whenever I wear it. There's just something about particular scents that give me a warm nostalgia feel, so I thought I would share with you my updated perfume collection, as I haven't done one of these since 2013.

I will pop a link (highlighted in pink) to an amazing website, for all the perfumes I have listed so you can check out the top notes of each fragrance

What's your current perfume favourite? Leave a comment down below or tweet me.
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy
Viva La Juicy I first bought on my last trip to New York about six years ago. At the time I was obsessed with anything Juicy and purchased this in the Juicy Couture shop on 5th Avenue. I have bought this ever since as it has strong memories for me, from my time in New York.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Fleur
Viva La Juicy La Fleur is one of my favourite perfumes for the Spring and Summer. If you like the original I think you'll like this, it's a slightly more fresher, lighter scent than the original but nether less beautiful.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight
Another one of my much-loved perfumes for Spring is this Daisy Eau So Fresh. I wouldn't typically go for these more fresher scents, but there's something about this, that is perfect for everyday.

YSL Manifesto
Manifesto is one of my newer scents I've added to my collection and is actually fast becoming my favourite! This is a gorgeous deep, musky scent that lasts all day on the skin for me.

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, is a perfume I have worn ever since I was a teenager. As the name suggests this is a classic fragrance that never gets old for me.

Vera Wang Princess
The packaging alone sold this too me a few years back now and ever since Vera Wang Princess is a perfume I have bought time and time again. This is a strong perfume that lasts all day, but it does have a lovely freshness running through it and is one that every girl should own!

Gucci Rush
Gucci Rush is another one of my signature teenage scents, I love this I think purely for the nostalgic memories it brings back. I admit this is a super strong scent hat is not to everyone's taste, but it does last all day.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Roller Ball
I also got this little roller ball travel edition of the Viva La Juicy scent in New York as it's great to pop in your handbag for a night out or on the go touch ups.

Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is another nostalgic scent for me and one I must get again soon. This perfume stick I've had for a while now and should probably throw out, as I really don't use it that much because it leaves a greasy residue on the skin, that can be messy at times.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur Review & Photos

Viva La Juicy has always been on the top of my fragrance list ever since it was released back in 2008, so I was excited to hear that Juicy Couture had bought out a sister perfume in the Viva La Juicy line named Viva La Juicy La Fleur. This beautiful fragrance looks very similar to its first perfume but with a different bottle shape and a fresher feel.

La Fleur is an Eau De Toilette which comes in a 40ml, 75ml and 150ml, they are also doing a beautiful Christmas set which includes a 40ml Eau De Toilette and a dual ended roller ball which has 5ml of the original Viva La Juicy and 5ml of the Viva La Juicy La Fleur. The Roller Ball is also sold separately.



Check out the Viva La Juicy & Viva La Juicy La Fleur Campaign Video Here from Juicy Couture.
The Fragrance is described fully on the Juicy Couture website, where you can also buy the fragrance!
http://www.juicycouture.com/Juicy-Couture-Fragrances-Viva-La-Fleur/Fragrance-LaFleur,default,pg.html
I also found this perfume at most good department stores, perfume shops and online retailers.

PACKAGING
Like all the other Juicy Perfume's this is beautifully packaged in a Pink floral print box, with Gold writing. The Perfume itself has the signature Viva La Juicy Pink Ribbon Bow and the gold J and Couture name chain. Inside the bottle is has a stunning Rose print which you can see through the bottle.
APPLICATION
This a spray applicator, with a gorgeous jewelled lid to preserve the perfume.

SCENT
This is a beautiful fresh scent perfect for everyday, I can smell the fresh gardenia petals and the Waterlily Top Note. This is described as a romantic fragrance which I sense from the musky Sandalwood Base note which you get in the first fragrance mixed with the innocence of the fresh floral accents.
LONGEVITY
As this is an Eau De Toilette the scent didn't last as long for me as an Eau De Parfum, it had worn off by 12.30pm so I re-sprayed this again and the scent did ware but I could smell a slight scent at the end of the evening, so it would be great if they could do a Lotion to compliment the fragrance and help the scent last longer throughout the day.

PRICE
The 75ml pictured is around the £45 mark as this varies depending on where you shop as I also found the cheapest to be £39.10 for the 75ml, so it pays to shop around. The 40ml you is priced on average of about £33 and the 150ml is about £60.
FINAL THOUGHT
I adore this perfume as I do the original, but I do think Perfume is a personal thing so everyone has different scents they prefer whether it be floral, fruity or a deep musk. But if you like the Original Viva La Juicy then you're sure to like this lighter version of it which is a perfect daytime fragrance.
I would love to see Juicy introduce a shower Gel and Lotion to the range too, to maximise the La Fleur experience.

I award the Viva La Juicy La Fleur 4.9 out of 5
