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!

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

My Perfume Collection Featuring Vera Wang & Juicy Couture



I love wearing perfume as it always make me feel expensive and nostalgic and it seems to complete's my outfit like an accessory. I mostly adore musky deep perfumes as I like the longevity and the distinctive scent they leave on your clothes and your skin as it always makes me feel special and individual.

I thought I would share with you my current Perfume Collection and some of my classic signature perfumes I tend to wear of an evening or weekend occasion, hope you like! 

I found a great website that describes fragrance in detail, it's called Fragrantica which is a fragrance encyclopaedia of every perfume imaginable and is super useful if your buying presents! I have attached a link under each perfume that describes each scent in detail and the top notes if you would like to discover them further.


Viva La Juicy La Fleur
 I am a total fan of the classic Viva La Juicy below, so I was excited to try the La Fleur edition, it smells beautiful and floral which I don't usually go for, so this was a nice surprise. I prefer to wear this during the day as it is a light fresher fragrance. 
I also did a review on this last year on the blog so feel free to check it out.


Viva La Juicy
I discovered this perfume in the Juicy Couture shop while in New York a few years ago, I already had an obsession with Juicy so was keen to discover what Juicy Couture Signature perfume had to offer. 
I love this for day or evening and it always brings back memories of beautiful New York.
HUGO Deep Red
This is another of my classic nostalgic perfumes from my youth, it's a really deep distinctive perfume which I like wearing for everyday.

Vera Wang Princess Night
If I enjoy an original perfume I tend to like the release of the follow up perfume in the brands fragrance family and this is no exception, Vera Wang Princess Night is a really beautiful stronger edition to the princess family and I love wearing this when I am going out, it always makes me feel complete when I wear it.


Vera Wang Princess
My boyfriend bought me this perfume one Christmas and ever since it makes me think of my boyfriend and Christmas, random I know, but apart from that it is a beautiful day perfume, it's lighter than princess night but still has a strong scent that makes you feel feminine and pretty, just like a princess! 


Jean Paul Gaultier Le Classique Summer Edition
I always love the Original Jean Paul Gaultier perfume it is so classic and never goes out of fashion, which is why I always love the Summer Edition Jean Paul releases, I had this when I was a teenager and it brings back lots of nice memories and plus it always looks pretty on my vanity!


Gucci Rush
This was my signature perfume when I was 17, I had the body lotion, the shower gel the whole line and even now I still love this perfume, it's defiantly an evening fragrance for me as it screams expensive and powerful.

Viva La Juicy Roller Ball
I really like a handbag size of my perfume especially the fragrances I like to wear in the evening, so this roller ball is perfect.


Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Shimmer Stick
I got this as a gift in a set with the Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely perfume, it was a special Christmas edition and has a beautiful shimmer as well as smelling of the pretty Lovely fragrance. It is quite greasy so I don't tend to use this often but it is pretty for special occasions.

Vera Wang Princess Perfume Pencil
This solid perfume pencil I received in a Christmas Gift Set one year too, I don't use this that often as it's quite greasy on the skin which is a shame as it is one of my favourite perfumes. 


Diesel Fuel For Life Femme
This was given to me by my mum, I think she had too much of it and went of the scent quickly, I have used it up all now and wouldn't buy it myself as it's not a scent I tend to lean towards often, but it was great for an everyday scent.
