My favourite Juicy Couture scent
While I can understand why so many people dislike Couture Couture, I personally find myself rather enjoying it. I do not consider this fragrance unpleasant at all.

In fact, Couture Couture is my favourite from the Juicy Couture fragrance range. It's a somewhat odd smelling fragrance, not something that I'm particularly used to trying.

In some ways I find it a little similar to the newly released Christian Audigier For Her. It seems as if loud florals with strong fruity notes are becoming fashionable again in the fragrance industry.

I don't think Couture Couture smells cheap at all. I also don't find the bottle tacky or ridiculous in any way. The composition has ensured a perfect blend of fruits, flowers, woodsy notes and vanilla.

Upon first application the mandarin orange, orange blossom and grapefruit top notes are smooth and strangely intriguing. What follows is mostly plum, rich and jammy. The honeysuckle and jasmine sit lightly in the background, providing subtle hints of softness and femininity.

The drydown isn't particularly ground-breaking, however it is extremely pleasant and soft. The sandalwood, amber and vanilla provide a nice, basic conclusion to a rather unique fragrance.

The lasting power is very good and the same can be said for the amount of sillage. I am somewhat disappointed that there aren't many people appreciating this fragrance. I wonder if it had been under a different brand name, whether it would have the same bad reaction.

Floral hairspray and grape flavoring
Juicy Couture as a brand is a bit hit or miss for me. They churn out some really basic fruity florals and samey VLJ flankers, but they also have some gems in their lineup. I thought Couture Couture would be one of them because it has been around for so long and the notes sound good, but now that I tried it, I have to admit that I don't find it very special. I suspect I perceive it differently than the people who love it, which is a bit of a pity.

To me this starts out with sharp white florals that have an unfortunate hairspray-like undertone to them. I had the same problem with Avon Rare Amethyst, which has 10 votes as similar at the moment, so I think if you like one of them, you will likely not hate the other. The pink grape note is definitely very noticeable, but it's more akin to grape flavored candy/soda than real grapes. After the drydown the hairspray-esque notes finally cool off and the scent turns into a pleasantly clean, floral amber.

Around the web this gets compared to many other fragrances, so I want to add that I don't find it similar to Pleats Please, Alien or any 90s/retro/"mature" florals. Honestly, I wish I did.

Girl Grape
I’m not a girly girl, really. I like movies where blood is splattering everywhere, love Einstürzende Neubauten, and hang out at night in clubs that are so dirty that the aforementioned stereotype of a woman would definitely not sit down anywhere there. Oh yes, conversations about cosmetics and celebrities bore me to death, just like magazines that focus on these topics. I’ve long since outgrown the pink bow phase, and yet I once tried “Couture Couture.”

And what does this fragrance do to me? It awakens the girly girl in me, who occasionally enjoys sitting on the couch with a bottle of Girl Grape at her best friend's place, gossiping passionately and watching Germany's Next Topmodel. And while doing so, she has a healing mud mask on and is dipping vegetable sticks in yogurt dip.
Just like I sometimes want to be a girl and find it great to be carefree, superficial, and unliberated for a few hours, I also need a fragrance that matches this part of my personality and says: “No, I absolutely don’t have to take myself and the box that others put me in seriously!”
And that’s exactly why I really like “Couture Couture”!
First of all, it really smells like Girl Grape. So beautifully sweet and delicious that I immediately feel like treating myself to a glass.
And just like the alcohol, this tasty little water affects me: It lifts my spirits and loosens me up.
In the top note, it reminds me a lot of “In Love Again” by YSL. It has a fine, alcoholic hint, but as I said, it’s more like a sweet white wine that’s best enjoyed with a few girlfriends. Swimming in it, beautifully soaked, is a big handful of fruit: I can sniff out oranges, peaches, mandarins, and even a few pink cocktail cherries.
The jasmine also comes through nicely and makes me feel a bit softer in the head. Heavy, full, and floral. I feel pretty, carefree, funny, and sexy. Wonderful.
Unfortunately, the buzz fades away far too quickly. The longevity is really the only thing I have to criticize about “Couture Couture.” You just have to reapply, yes. Still, what remains of the perfume after two hours is somewhat bland. Really a shame.
Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly recommend the perfume to all young and old girls who love to laugh, gossip, chat, and drink ;) In my opinion, you can really wear it at any age, as long as you like to feel young and carefree.

Bling Bling-Couture Couture
I got to know Couture Couture by Juicy Couture in early 2014, wore it briefly, and then soon gifted it away.
Not that I didn't like it, no. At the time I bought and wore it, I was personally going through a rough patch due to my then "marital drama." The scent reminded me of the painful experiences from that time, and so I gave it away. The past has now been dealt with, and at some point, I decided to give the fragrance another try. I always try to separate negative experiences from a scent, even if it doesn't happen right away and takes time. It's like shedding a prejudice through confrontation.
Initially, I only got a small 30 ml round bottle that resembled an egg, but this time I went for the 100 ml bottle. Only later did I find out here on Parfumo that this egg was a special edition. However, I find the regular bottle to be much more extravagant, while the "egg" is much simpler and more understated.
The bottle is indeed very eye-catching and adds a visual appeal to any collection. It is said to resemble a monstrance, a golden sacred church ornament for the altar that is supposed to hold a host in the center.
Now to the scent. The fragrances from Juicy Couture are usually quite sweet-fruity and gourmand with very kitschy bottles. And sweet is also how this one comes across, yet there is something more mature about it as well.
Overall, I would describe it as floral-sweet with a slightly oriental base.
I detect orange blossom, jasmine, and something fruity, which must be the plum.
The base, as mentioned, has an oriental touch with warm amber, sandalwood, and vanilla.
The scent remains compact and sweet throughout, with a slightly bitter undertone that could possibly come from the plum. I don't consciously perceive honeysuckle, but perhaps it has more influence on the overall impression than I consciously realize.
The sillage and longevity are very good. One has to be careful not to apply too much of it.
I am glad that I have made peace with this fragrance.

I never thought.....
I never thought that I would like plum. But I do like plum.
I never thought that I would like amber. But I like amber.
I never thought that.... -
mmmh, I could continue this sentence for ALL the fragrance molecules used here,
forever.
The fact is: I never thought that all these components, as described in the top, heart, and base notes, would fit together so well that I simply like this scent, that I could wear it every day.
I don't, because I have many, many perfumes, but I could. (Actually, I wear it more often than I indicate here, hihi, but that's my secret)

This plummy fruity experience, which drifts more towards vanilla and sandalwood, is by no means sweet, but rather juicy, combined with mandarin and orange blossom (which, however, does not stand out much), I find it very friendly-fresh even in summer.
But it is also friendly now in autumn-winter, as it has a velvety touch, which surely comes from the amber scent, again connected with the vanilla (or is it the pink grape, no idea). WHAT a sentence. - My German teacher will turn in his grave!!
But it doesn't matter, those of you who know and like this scent might agree with me.
I find the scent very beautiful and the bottle adorns any collection.
So, give it a try, the price is really quite low, but the fragrance pleasure is great.
(Although the longevity is not immense). However, my assigned person says he can smell it on me for a very long time and it smells, he says, simply wonderful. Well then

Uuummm…. No.
This scent is overwhelming and musky!
I’ve smelled something like this in an elderly home.
No. Nope. No.

No beastly jasmine notes here, a la Alien, but rather gentle wafts of florals floating around me. I get a JPG Classique vibe & LOVE IT!

Lots of orange blossom + more peach than plum. Warm-spicy + sweet. Cheerful from the white flowers. Nice. With a vintage flair. The 90s are back!

From a sample, I got a bottle, as it was cheap. I like it, not too sweet, more floral, honeysuckle is in the foreground, but also sandalwood.

Very interesting scent. It makes me think of a burlesque dancer. Sexy and a bit vintage - yet still modern.

90s scent! It reminds me of my BF's fragrance, Amarige Eau de Toilette or Berlin Eau de Toilette

Delicately tangy-fruity-softly sweet peach, no candy or gummy bear vibe, slightly peppery, consistent, fine sillage, miles ahead of Candy & Co.
