Latest Reviews of Viva La Juicy Noir
The beginning of this fragrance doesn't do it justice... the dry down is much more convincing. This goes on very strong-and this is the part that you have to be patient with. Then you get berries with a hint of christmas tree.It developes into forest and a rich floral-fruity bouquet. It's hard to imagine those two side by side but it smells truly lovely. Fresh but sweet and playful at the same time. An hour later the woods step up and you get the vanilla.
Slowly the remains of the top notes fade away to be replaced by sandalwood and caramel with hints of something woody, amber and vanilla. Viva La Juicy Noir would be great for dancing, something light, fun, playful. Give this some time. You may really like this!
Opens with an appropriate burst of juicy berries, and a tangy citrus bite. It quiets down rather quickly, where the sweetness emerges and the amber and floral notes lend it sensuality. To me, it's light and fruity, not quite 'noir'. I personally tried it because I try anything with 'Noir' in the name - but this one is upbeat and flirty rather than dark and sultry, which is worth mentioning. Delicious, but not quite Noir.

Nothing 'noir' going on here; just another berry white floral atop some desserts. It does bring to mind the scene in the original Bedazzled in which the Devil convinces an old woman to leave her house, after which he helps himself to her raspberries and cream.
Fairly nice fruity -floral-musk . Doesn't have the bitter aftertaste whang that the cheaper BBW smellalikes have. Smells a bit smilar to Sarah Jessica Parker's SJP NYC the multi-patterned canister bottle that smelled rather strawberry candyish. I expect there is also some similarity to the Miss Dior Cherie strawberry though I can't verify that as I didn't smell the early iteration of MDC that is acclaimed as the best.This still smells very similar to it's parent Viva La Juicy but with a stronger berry/Strawberrry emphasis.
Viva La Juicy Noir is probably one to wear when you want to be feminine and non-threatening.
