Who doesn’t like getting a gift? My good, great, fantastic and totally awesome friend bought me a bottle of Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture last Christmas. Now, before I got any further, I must confess, I have been wearing the same Chanel perfume since high school. (Pause for shocked shrieks of horror).
I know, but it seems there are so few perfumes that I really love. I’m just picky I guess. So while I love my fantastic, stupendous and oh-so thoughtful friend for sending me this perfume, when I opened the box, I was a bit, well, nervous.
It’s a gift so you want to accept it gladly and be excited, but in my head I was already trying to tactfully word how much I was obviously going to hate this scent the next time I saw my friend.
To my awesome surprise, I took a whiff and fell madly in love with this scent. If I could spritz this post and have you smell this gorgeous stuff somehow, I would. Let me try and pin down the scent for you. It has tones of berries and mandarin, but it also has a few smells I couldn’t decipher. I’m not a perfume expert, just in case you were wondering. When I looked it up on the web, I found that the gals behind this perfume also used Jasmine, Amber, Gardenia, and Honeysuckle. It’s such a couture fragrance that it doesn’t really matter to me what exactly I’m smelling though.
I’ve worn it a few times and I always get comments and inquiries as to what perfume I’m wearing and where to get it. If I’m feeling generous, I might tell people, even though it kind of a secret I’d prefer to keep to myself.
So if you’re like me and you’ve been going steady with the same fragrance for more years than are worth mentioning, give this perfume a try.
