Finally, a candidate...
Juicy Couture VIVA LA JUICY LA FLEUR is decidedly more floral than its namesake, VIVA LA JUICY. I don't believe that I've ever reviewed the latter, but since I have a few carded samples, having been plied with them by Sephora over the past couple of years, I'll have to review that perfume soon.
Today, in a side-by-side comparison, I find that VIVA LA JUICY LA FLEUR is literally a flanker made from VIVA LA JUICY with a triple dose of the floral elements: gardenia, jasmine, and honeysuckle all do sound plausible to me, since this is a white floral parade. I do not detect the lily listed among the notes.
The quality of this perfume is similar to the original JUICY COUTURE, which I own, and the spirit is similar as well, but the tuberose has been replaced by a different cluster of big white flowers, and there is patently caramel here, where in JUICY COUTURE I am struck by the literal butter note, and all the more in the solid perfume format.
Under the helm of Elizabeth Arden, the Juicy Couture perfumes, for better or for worse, depending upon one's perspective, have maintained their original identities and a kind of integrity. I consider VIVA LA JUICY LA FLEUR to be an above-average floral-gourmand fragrance with more florals than sweets and enough natural-smelling stuff (though it probably is all synthetic...) to be wearable by me. There is at least the skeleton of a perfume here, what cannot truthfully be said for some of the juice being pumped out of the other megacorps, which seem to be trading more in corpses than perfume...
