Have you worn Viva la Juicy Gold Couture?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. It’s dispensable; smells like caramel and vanilla with an almost imperceptible fruity touch. It’s not ugly, but it doesn’t surprise; in 2014 it might have been novel, but not today. I’d only buy it for the bottle, but I won’t. It reminds me of dupes or Zara scents I already own.

    Sweet without being cloying, a semi-fruity and talcum-like caramel, Prada Candy or Bonbon de V&R style. I bought it blindly and although I liked it, since I don’t wear this type of scent, I ended up selling it.

  3. It’s quite sweet and on my skin it becomes very cloying. I don’t recommend it for hot days because it smells like melted caramel.

    It’s exquisite; caramel and the packaging dominate, but for the price, I don’t think it’s worth it. It has no projection and after two hours I can’t smell it anymore. I’d love a perfume with this scent that lasts longer.

    If you like caramel and praline, this is for you. It gives a vibe similar to Pink Sugar by Aquolina but projects much more. Perfumes don’t have an age, but this one is more for young people. You have to like sweets. It smells like sugar you’re caramelizing right before it burns, or that hard milk caramel. They are ultra-sticky and hard to chew through.

    I love the Viva La Juicy line; although the longevity isn’t great, I adore it. Gold Couture lasts quite a bit because it’s from 2014, the year it launched, so it’s very mellowed out. I don’t find it as similar to Fancy since I owned it and didn’t like it; I’d prefer my Juicy Couture a thousand times over.

  7. El Manifesto and El Elixir come to mind, why not? It’s not that they share the same notes, but the overall impression. Separately and the notes they don’t tell us about, they are similar. I just discovered this; I own both.

  8. I’m completely in love with this perfume; I searched for it for a long time because it was hard to find in physical stores. Finally, this summer I bought it. It smells divinely, especially on me; I like sweet scents without being over-the-top. I agree with other reviews: for the price, it lasts very little. It’s a shame, but I still like it.

  9. It’s a perfume that doesn’t evolve and yet I like it. I wish it lasted longer and left a trail, but it’s very poor. For the price, it’s disappointing, especially since it’s an EDP. I didn’t buy it blindly; I smelled it at a mall and fell in love, but since I was testing other fragrances, I didn’t realize it didn’t last at all. Even though I love the scent, I wouldn’t buy it again. P.S.: I’m keeping the decorative bottle.

    I love this fragrance. It seems super sexy and soapy, smelling clean like a cream. It’s sweet. It lasts a long time on my skin; I tested it with Narciso Rodriguez and Scandal Le Parfum and it was the one that lasted the longest (and I must say, fragrances don’t last long on me; I think it’s because I have dry skin). Anyway, I love it.

  11. Smells like pure caramel, super sweet and rich, like a creamy vanilla lollipop. The truth is, it fades very quickly on my skin, which is a shame, but for that scent and the bottle, I’d buy it again without hesitation.

    It’s a very sweet perfume with lots of caramel. It doesn’t last long on my skin and doesn’t evolve much either; it’s a sweet, classic scent that never fails. I love it, but I wish it lasted longer.

    It gives me a headache and makes me dizzy. I couldn’t stand wearing it for hours.

  14. I bought it blind and nailed it. It’s a gorgeous fragrance; the caramel and vanilla smell wonderful. Although people say it doesn’t last, on my skin it’s been over 7 hours and it’s noticeable even through a mask. I recommend it and would buy it again.

    Beautiful bottle that deserves a spot on the shelf, but the scent is about 95% identical to Jessica Simpson’s Fancy. The rich caramel lasts about 5 hours; it’s not magic, it’s basic. The sillage is moderate. I keep it just for the bottle’s aesthetics.

    I bought it blind and it was a total hit. I loved the scent; at first, it smells like another Viva la Juicy because the base holds, but then the caramel kicks in, rich and very sweet.

    I was looking for something mega sexy, even if it wasn’t long-lasting. In the end, it smells musty and like a very basic sweet, nothing more.

    Definitively, this is the quintessential sweet, delicate, and feminine perfume. I love Gold Couture; it’s become one of my favorites. It’s super gourmand, with vanilla and caramel notes standing out with good sillage and longevity. I think it’s far from being overwhelming; if you like sweet perfumes, this is the one for you!

    Gold Couture is PURE CARAMEL. It’s a caramel explosion, super vanilla, super gourmand, very feminine, and incredibly rich. I love it and would definitely buy it again because it’s worth it. Regarding similarities, it’s super similar to Carmen Electra’s Rrrr; it’s the same essence and DNA. Just this one is more concentrated and lasts longer. I also found it very similar to Jessica Simpson’s Fancy, thanks to that caramel note. I loved it, and the bottle has a unique charm. For lovers of caramelized, vanilla, feminine, and sweet scents, it’s an excellent option.

    Simple, simple, and effective. Edit: Months later and having tried several fragrances, I understand ‘sexy’ better. It still seems simple to me, but now I see that you don’t need much complexity to deliver on its promise. Despite the hype, this jasmine is smooth; the amber is subtle, not sharp like in others that give off a ‘cheap’ or ‘old’ vibe. That gives it a youthful touch. The vanilla is soft, not powdery or invasive, nothing sharp. It’s crisp, with the caramel standing out over the red fruits without being cloying or sticky. I maintain my first comment: simple but it works. I liked it more than other Juicy line fragrances. It also reminds me of Jessica Simpson’s Fancy and Britney Spears’ Private Show.

  21. I bought it blindly based on the notes. At first, it smells like alcohol, but a few minutes later, it turns the tables—it becomes sweet, caramel-like, and I absolutely love it; it’s already one of my favorites. It doesn’t last long on the skin, but on clothes, it’s eternal. I’m completely smitten.

  22. I don’t get it… for me, it’s not wild berries; it’s pure alcohol. Once it settles down, it smells nice and feels chocolatey, but on my skin, it never quite ends up sweet… I just don’t like it. Definitely, Mr. Fragrances on YouTube missed the mark… or maybe he had other interests…

    On me: caramel and flowers, more caramel and flowers, and even more caramel and flowers. A sweet, sensual scent that’s discreet and short-lasting. Too bad the price is so high for the longevity it offers.

    It’s delicious and affordable (at least here). What doesn’t stand out is its poor longevity. It disappears without a trace, which is a shame because it’s so tasty.

    For some strange reason, I still adore the classic Viva la Juicy. I bought a dupe of Juicy Gold and it just doesn’t convince me; it’s meant for full winter, yet I don’t sense any florals—it’s a bomb of sweetness. I agree with those who say it smells like toffee candies. I don’t dislike them, but I don’t love them either. I have it almost full and use it occasionally. I just sprayed it twice, and wow, since it’s summer, it gives me nausea.

    Does anyone know where to get this fragrance (or any other Juicy Couture scent) in Chile?

  29. Franny777

    It’s a pleasant aroma, nothing new under the sun. It lasts 4 or 5 hours on my skin. It feels quite sweet; I don’t notice much fruit, just caramel and vanilla. Sometimes I notice it feels a bit synthetic. I only use it in summer because in winter, it doesn’t come across at all. Sexy? Absolutely not, in my opinion. The bottle is nice, but I won’t be buying it again. I think there are better options and they overrate this fragrance. Anyway, in matters of taste, nothing is written in stone.
