Juicy Couture Peace Love And Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum

I was bought a bottle of this perfume and a body cream set for Christmas this year from my partner's mother. She usually does a lot of research and smelling before she buys a perfume so I was sure that it would be lovely. I have not had anything by Juicy Couture before but know it to be a very fashionable and glamorous brand.

Packaging

My perfume came as a set with a 250 ml body cream. The perfume and body cream came in a lovely bright pink box with a luminous pink bow and some funky multi-coloured artwork all over it. The items were set in a velvet casing that kept them safely set in place. The perfume set looks really fun and jazzy and expensive.

The Bottle

The perfume bottle is gorgeous and really stands out set alongside my other perfumes. The bottle is a heavy and thick glass that is rectangular in shape. On top of the glass perfume holder is the spray nozzle that is inside what I can only describe as a sort of cut glass bottle stopper. The set looks a bit like a mini crystal decanter.

On the front of the bottle is the Juicy Couture gold crest that is set into the glass. Also wrapped below the stopper on the neck of the bottle is a sort of bangle with pale blue stones, pink tassels and the peace and love sign hanging off as a pendant. I guess this I to wear but I really like the look of it on the bottle.

Peace Love and Juicy Couture Scent

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous to smell! It is light and fruity and floral but in a delicate balance that work really well. On the first spray you get the aroma of lemons and the wild hyacinth coming through foremost which are really fresh and remind you of the crisp spring mornings. After this first burst the fragrance settles down and the more musky and jasmine scents come through and settle on your skin. The staying power of the latter is quite good but as I said the first fresh bursts don't stay too long

The exact notes are:

Top Notes: Meyer Lemon Blossom, Wild Hyacinth, Sweet Apple, Blackcurrant

Heart Notes: Sambac Jasmine, Star Magnolia, Malibu Poppy, Honeysuckle

Base Notes: Orris, Patchouli, Musk

This scent is said to be based on the laidback hippie style of Malibu in the 1960s which I cannot comment on but it is certainly fresh and groovy once on your skin. It is quite a sweet perfume which can be slightly overwhelming if you spray too much on at once, but once on it settles down into a more mellow smell. I wouldn't wear this perfume every day, I would say it is more of a spring and summer outdoor fragrance and will definitely be making the most of it next year!

I have the 50 ml bottle and this retails for £46 RRP, but it is often on offer and in gift sets at a more reasonable price in department stores and high street shops. 4 out of 5 stars for this from me!
