Viva La Juicy Sucre

Viva La Juicy Sucre, inspired by Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Sucré (2016)

Sucré opens with mandarin and tart red currant, a fruity sparkle before the sweeter material takes over. Orange blossom and jasmine give the middle a floral lift, but peach nectar and almond cream set the tone, so the heart reads more like a pastry case than a bouquet. Vanilla and a dusting of cocoa powder carry it to the end. Sugar is the point here, from the first spray to the drydown.

About the original

Juicy Couture released Viva La Juicy Sucré in autumn 2016, and it was first sold through HSN in the United States. It belongs to the Viva La Juicy family that began in 2008, alongside later flankers such as Glacé (2017) and Elixir. The bottle sits in a gold cupcake-tray base topped with a pink polka-dot bow, which signals the dessert theme before the cap comes off. Published note lists differ slightly: some retailers add whipped cream and sandalwood, and one gives blackcurrant in place of red currant.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Juicy Couture stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Its dessert theme is the whole idea: a playful, sugary gourmand with almond and cocoa rather than a floral with a little vanilla. Retailer copy is clear that it is sweet, so wearers who find sugary gourmands cloying may want to look elsewhere.

Notes of the original fragrance, as listed in fragrance references.

Top notes: Mandarin, Red Currant, Gardenia

Heart notes: Orange Flower, Jasmine, Peach Nectar, Almond Cream

Base notes: Vanilla, Cocoa Powder

Mandarin and red currant open the scent with a tangy fruit note, and gardenia adds a pale floral edge behind them.

The heart pairs orange blossom and jasmine with peach nectar and almond cream, giving a sweet, frosting-like texture.

Vanilla and cocoa powder form the base, with the cocoa kept as a light note.

How is Sucré different from the original Viva La Juicy?

Sucré is a 2016 flanker of Viva La Juicy (2008) with a dessert theme. Its almond cream, vanilla and cocoa powder make it read as a pastry-style gourmand.

Is this Viva La Juicy Sucré or Glacé?

This page is Sucré, the 2016 cupcake-bottle flanker. Glacé (2017) is a separate flanker.

Does it smell of chocolate?

Only lightly. Retailer and press copy describe a light cocoa note in the base, under vanilla and almond cream.
