Viva La Juicy Noir

Viva La Juicy Noir is a fruity gourmand from Juicy Couture, released in 2013. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, two thirds also find it floral, and a third notice woody, amber and citrus sides.

The opening is wild berries and mandarin orange, a sweet, juicy fruit start. The heart is a trio of white flowers, gardenia, jasmine and honeysuckle, which add a creamy, slightly heady floral layer. The base is where the darkness implied by the name lives: caramel and vanilla over sandalwood and amber, a warm, sweet, dessert-like finish.

Longevity is reported as moderate by most and weak by a quarter; the trail is moderate for about half and intimate for a third. It is voted for autumn and spring and slightly more for day than night, which suggests a sweet, easy-wearing scent for cooler days rather than a heavy evening gourmand.
