Not the Bubbly I hoped for...
This is definitely recognizable as a VLJ flanker, it has a lot of the Juicy DNA, but it's sweeter and fruitier than the original. I have directly compared it with VLJ Noir, and Le Bubbly is even more gourmand and less floral than that one, which already is a warmer and sweeter version of VLJ.
This is very strong on the praline base, with some sparkling fruit notes on top and just a hint of white flowers to tie them together. Like the name promises, it has a fizzy scent texture. I don't think that this smells like champagne or any kind of sparkling wine at all though. Maybe like Robby Bubble, the alcohol free party drink for kids, or just like a soda. It's bubbly, but it doesn't have the dry note a real champagne has. It just smells like sugared berries and mandarins with a non-boozy sparkle.
As a fan of sweet gourmands I find this nice and pleasant, but VLJ Noir is a better balanced fragrance to my nose. I think this would have benefited from a more realistic champagne note or even a stronger blood orange. A slightly bittersweet, effervescent accent like that would have made it more original and truer to the name.
