I really like this one, but I don't see myself wearing it too often. Moschino's Funny is still my all time favorite fragrance. But anyways, this one smells really sweet. I hate the old Juicy Couture fragrance..i don't get why so many are crazy about it, esp.teens, but damn does it give me a headache/nauseous feeling! The bottle was very inviting and the hot pink packaging with gold letters was super cute. I have to say I LOVE the bottle...it's the same as the old one, but it has a cute gemstone-like cap with a fuschia ribbon and a juicy couture gold chain...so cute. I was going to buy the little rollerball, but that was too small and i felt like i was going to regret not getting the big one because i was able to get a bigger discount that day (I work at Ulta) This is a very sweet smelling fragrance with vanilla/caramel and fruitiness to it. All you really need is like 2 spritzes because it's strong. I do like it, but it gives me a headache sometimes...i know it would get tiring if i wore it everyday, i don't want to get sick of it. I bought the 1.7 oz which is 65.00 and will last me a long time since I won't wear it daily. It doesn't help that almost all of my co-workers spray it on too lol. This is def perfect for fall/winter...a very warm fragrance.

Gotta admit I haven't bought this yet, but my friend got some and it smelled like heaven! OMG I'm going to be tortured until I can buy a bottle of my own. It does smell somewhat SIMILAR to a lot of the other scents out there, but not exactly identical to anything I can think of.

If I had to find a way to describe it, I'd say it's a little like Victoria's Secret Warm Vanilla comfort mist, mixed with Burberry London mixed with B&BW Creme Brulee, a little bit of Amber Romance, and a touch of some type of fruity smell.
Very soft, a little sweet, and a tiny, tiny bit fruity, and very fresh and lovely.
Probably one of the yummiest scents ever.

I'm so jealous and I'm dying to get my own.

I got this as a sample after ordering online at Sephora. At first i didnt spray it.. i just smelled it in the little bottle and it smelled really gross and i put it in a random bag and it sat there for a few weeks. Yesterday i was cleaning a little bit and i stumbled across this. I decided to spray it on and i was surprised. It was nothing like i smelled before. I wouldn't really purchase the full size bottle just because i can imagine myself getting sick of this scent, but i will deffinatly use up my little sample size!

Love this! I agree with the reviewer below - I much prefer this to the original Juicy Couture scent. This isn't a flanker, but an entirely different scent. My true fragrance love is Narciso, but I wanted something girlier and yummier for those days when you don't need an all-out, full-on scent. I smelled this in a magazine, then checked it out at Sephora - and I was surprised to find that I loved it so much! I do generally like gourmand scents, so if you dislike vanilla, etc. this may not be for you. But I'm hooked - and the bottle, with its faceted top and fuchsia bow, is just darling.

I don't care too much for the original Juicy fragrance, but this one I really like. It is a deeper, warmer, richer version of the original. It's a gourmand fragrance with caramel notes. It's soft but lasts long on me. It is not sickenly sweet. Received compliments on this when I sampled it. Hope to own a bottle some day!

First off, I am VERY migraine prone. Original Juicy nearly hospitalized me. I don't smell the vanilla notes that some comment on. I can't do super sweet smells. This....is....wonderful. I put it on in the car after I bought it and did some shopping. When I got home a few hours later, my 15 year old son (who is BRUTALLY honest) said "Mom, you smell REALLY good!" So although I really don't WANT to appeal to teenage boys, it's better than being told I smell like an old lady who peed herself. Only complaints are the bottle is SO heavy and bulky. The price tag of $85 was hefty but that's pretty much what a 3.4 oz of anything runs. Don't think it's a "teen" fragrance. It's complex and sophisticated.

I absolutely love this. The caramel notes definitely come out on my skin. This fragrance makes me feel young, alive, and just over-all happy. I sprayed some on my wrists and shirt when I first arrived at work. I saw my older brother about 6 hours later and the first words out of his mouth were "You smell like a girl." LOL It's definitely a girly fragrance. I much prefer this to the original.

I don't like this fragrance at all, although the original Juicy Couture perfume is excellent. They smell very, very different - although they are both floral. I was expecting this to be more fresh and vibrant because it is "Viva". But the opposite, it smells old and musky - a little like men's cologne or cheap "grocery store" perfume.

I really like this perfume. It actually smells a lot better than the first juicy. I love the bottle it's really cute. I like the fact that at first spray it's strong and then when it dries down it smells even better. The caramel comes out and it smells lovely. I would probably buy again but lets see since I have the 3.4 oz bottle how long it'll last me :-)

We all know that there are certain cosmetics and skin care products that make you look younger, well here's a fragrance that will make you smell younger (and not in a 12 year old kind of way). It takes years off you with it's intoxicating fresh and fruity scent. This lovely concoction marries rich pralines and vanilla with deletable fruit and musk. The honeysuckle, wild berries and mandarin oranges work beautifully together. It all comes together to make you smell incredibly fresh and delicious. I have been getting quite a few compliments on this fragrance with everyone wanting to know what it was. I adore the bottle with all of it's cute charms and pretty bow, however I think the little gold safety pin is a bit tacky (I think it's odd looking so I removed mine). I was not impressed with the original Juicy Couture fragrance, however this one is delightful, youthful and completely alive.

I agree this smells so similiar to so many others. It does smell good but gave me a little headache. I bought it and will be returning. Very dissapointing.

This fragrance smells like SOOOO many others. Fruity and sweet. It smells like it belongs at Walgreens, and one day it will probably end up there. The difference between this perfume and so many of the other fruity department store fragrances is this one gives me an immediate headache. Pity because I can't seem to get it off of my skin. PASS!

Girls, Girls! Stop the presses. This is the same exact scent of Merveille by Johan B. (Paris)- Retail it's about $25-30 for 3.4 oz, and probably cheaper on Ebay. You can find this in your mall at any of those fragrance kiosks and maybe at Perfumania. I rated it so low because there is a cheaper dupe, with amazing staying power currently available--but don't get me wrong it smells divine. Please try it and you will see.....the light! No need to spend all that $$$$$$$$. For reference >>> Site---

I generally don't like Juicy and their products but they really caught my eye (or should I say my nose?) with Viva la Juicy. I smelled it in a few magazines and I HAD to have it. I'm very picky when it comes to scents so I got a small tester at Sephora before I bought a bottle. After a week I was hooked. I'm terrible at describing scents and I won't even attempt to name what it has in it but to me it's just a sensual grown up scent. It's not too strong or overbearing nor is it soft or floral. I feel very sexy in it. I don't smell anything sweet or candy-like like people have stated nor does it smell like food. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't last too long or not as long as I'd like. Otherwise this is a complete winner for me! Even the bottle is gorgeous with its huge teardrop top! It's so girly and it just really is the complete package: scent and bottle design.

Brings back old memories of Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth, in a good way. Sweet but not overly teeny-bopper sweet. The carmel warms it down.

I love this perfume! I love the vanilla praline mix, but yet I love the fruity scent. I live in the South, so allergies are a huge problem, but this perfume is allergy friendly. The bottle is cute (I've never rated a perfume bottle before!). I've received wonderful comments. At first I thought it didn't have great lasting power (I have to layer perfume, because they don't last), but after wearing it all day at work, one of my coworkers asked at the end of the day if I had just sprayed. I was very pleased with that. As for price, check around. I was able to get the gift set with the 3.4 oz spray, 4.2 oz shower gel & lotion for less than just purchasing the 3.4 oz bottle. Oh yeah, i didn't have to bid!

UPDATE: I was deceived and very hurt when I received my giftset in the mail! I received a 1.7 oz instead of a 3.4 oz as advertised. I have since returned that giftset and purchased the giftset with the 3.4 oz.

This bottle is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Giant diamond for a cap. Pink bow with gold saftypin with a J and a couture charm hanging from it. I love the bottle. The smell is very strong sweet. One spray is enough. I really like it. But I can see how some might think it makes you smell like a baby hooker. ;)

I like sweet smells, but this is too gourmand for my taste. The caramel and vanilla is overwhelming. It's deceiving, though, because the other notes in this fragrance are actually quite nice (such as honeysuckle and praline). The bottle is pretty though, with a very Juicy Couture style to it, with charms and ribbons. The staying power is great as well. Wouldn't buy again though.

I got this as a gift from my bf and didn't have guts to tell him how much I hate it. Some idiot sales gal at Macy's recommended this new fragrance and he fell for it not giving it much thought or 'sniff'. He sprayed a fair amount on me, and I had to cover my disgust with a fake smile, but the minute he left I had to take a shower to wash it off. There is way too much vanilla in it, and it reminds me of cheap deodorants they sell in dollar stores. If u are used to classy fragrances - this stuff won't work for you. Btw, I wonder who thought of this hideous bottle design? Cheap smell, cheap look!
