Fruity-sweet summer dream
I actually got to know the Viva la Juicy Bowdacious through YouTube. No, not Jeremy Fragrance, although Juicy Couture seems to be particularly fond of fragrances. No, it was a YouTuberin, who is not even to be seen in her videos. She presented fragrances to some men in her life, her boyfriend and friends, and they were asked to rate which fragrance they found most appealing. And at the top of the Top 10 list, Viva la Juicy Bowdacious, ahead of - hold on - La Nuit Trésor, Black Opium, Addict and Hypnotic Poison EdT. According to her, one of the men described the fragrance as follows: "It smells as if the wearer was saying, "Come closer," to put it nicely. So very sexy and attractive. That made me very curious about the scent. Sure I wear scents mainly for myself, but who wouldn't like to be attractive to the other (or their own, depending ;) ) sex?
The fragrance was of course selected directly by me here on Parfumo. Hmmmm, pear, tangerine and honeydew melon. Sounded very tasty and promising before. And in addition tiaré and coconut milk, which immediately made me think of summer. And I like tonka bean anyway. The score of 8.2 out of 10 here on Parfumo also made me expect a lot from this fragrance. In the internet I found the Bowdacious at a US-American supplier (I am in the USA right now) for no less than 30$ for 50ml. EdP mind you. Although I usually avoid blind purchases, I did not hesitate to strike here. And I am glad that I dared to do so
Right from the start the Viva la Juicy Bowdacious smells juicy and fruity like pear and honeydew melon. So the word "Juicy" is very appropriately chosen in the name. I can't really smell tangerine, but I think it gives the fragrance a refreshing accent. It turns out to be quite sweet, but fortunately not so sweet that it gives you a toothache. As the fragrance progresses, the tiaré blossom becomes more apparent, flowery-creamy I would say, with the pear continuing to dominate. The whole thing is gently supported by sweet tonka bean and melting coconut milk, both of which are discreetly kept in the background. The main note here is actually a delicious, juicy pear, accompanied by honeydew melon. Despite the sweetness, I find this fragrance somehow light and summery. It seems very feminine and definitely very attractive.
That according to the YouTuberin it should be sexier than "the ultimate sex perfume" Hypnotic Poison EdT (quote from a review here on Parfumo), however, surprises me! I think I'll try an experiment and show men I know the la Nuit Trésor, Light Blue Intense, Hypnotic Poison EdT and the Viva la Juicy Bowdacious under their noses! Let them say which scent they find most appealing. Let's see what comes out of it. Now, because of the quarantine, certainly not an easy task, but by no means impossible. I will of course keep you informed :))))
I think that Viva la Juicy Bowdacious very much emphasizes the feminine side of a woman and can be worn all year round at day and night times, and it fits especially well in spring and summer. For formal occasions or in the office it would be too playful in my opinion. I think a dress and loose hair go well with it. Maybe a little bit of make-up. Ready is the summer beauty!
The Sillage is rather moderate, so that one can spray calmly, the shelf life is good with about 7 hours.
The glass bottle is pretty kitschy with its huge pink-metallic bow, but it's also quite something. It has a small bow at the bottom of the front, back, left and right sides, the Juicy Couture emblem in gold in 3D, and a large crystal glass cap. So it's actually far too good to store this bottle in a cool, dark place, away from view. But maybe I have a solution: once the bottle is empty, it could be used as a decoration. It is always girlish and eye-catching.
Another side note: the fragrance reminds me slightly of the Signorina Misteriosa. What both fragrances have in common is that they both combine fruity notes in the top note with creamy floral notes in the middle note and creamy-sweet notes in the base. In the Bowdacious - Misteriosa juxtaposition, this would be: pear, honeydew melon, tangerine - blackberry, neroli; tiare - tuberose, orange blossom; tonka bean, coconut milk - black vanilla. However, Signorina Misterioasa looks darker and heavier with the addition of patchouli. In addition, the blackberry makes it smell more acidic and, as some people here wrote on perfume, it has a squeaky chewing gum note. So if you liked Signorina Misteriosa, but were bothered by the chewing gum note, Viva la Juicy Bowdacious is certainly a good alternative for you.
I hope I could help you with my comment and wish you all a nice weekend!
