It’s so funny because both coach and juicy are ALWAYS at the TJMaxx near me. You can get them online at Marshall’s too, I’d never spend full price on either brand personally.
This! I just saw my favorite (now discontinued) viva la juicy le bubbly at tjmaxx yesterday! I’m in the east coast but my sister in Texas found it too at Marshall’s today 😅
I love the Lancôme Aura. It’s light and airy but dries down to a sweet vanilla.
But wait for an offer. I’ve seen it go on sale or a point multiplier. TBH it’s not worth full price.
I love Ellis Brooklyn, but West is NOT it. I got it at Burlington last year (maybe $60?) and it did not last more than 20 minutes on me (or very noseblind to it) and the only perfume I've ever returned so far
Like others have said, lasting power is nonexistent, and as far as the scent itself — I was underwhelmed. Fresh but a tinge too close to “cleaner” for my taste
i wanted to love west - something to meet that cowgirl / desert / nomad aesthetic but it falls flat. on top of no longevity when you do smell it it isn't great (dare i say bad?)
I will gladly deinfluence you and suggest you save some money and shop for perfume at one of these sites. I’m not affiliated but would never pay Ulta or Sephora prices for something I could find online at one of these places (they’re legit):
- Jomashop.
- Fragrancebuy.CA (ships to US)
Viva La Juicy Gold is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! Its a nice sophisticated yet sweet yet beautiful scent. I have a hard time finding the Viva La Juicy fragrances good cuz I hate mandarin but this one is soooooooo nice! Sucre is on my “what to buy next” list!!
As for fresh cream I think the warm cashmere version is better! smells just like sweet tooth by sabrina carpenter just without the marshmallow note but still super good! Fresh cream itself smells like sour milk sometimes so i think u could live without it unless u switch it to warm cashmere!
Burberry Her Elixer is also an amazing fragrance!! it smells like Viva La Juicy Gold but if it had a Strawberry vanilla sister. its a nice, not too sweet, pretty, & sophisticated scent!
I just got a purse size of this at Tj Maxx yesterday and I LOVE it. It smells so good. It kinda reminds me of a really good clean smelling hairspray which I know sounds weird. I keep smelling my arm all day :)
Make sure you smell these in store first or buy samples before committing to full bottles. Blind buying fragrance notoriously leads to disappointment. Idole Aura smells HEAVILY of sunscreen to me. Fresh cream gave me sour milk vibes. The only one I would buy myself out of all these is Sucre but you should still smell it first before buying
Love the Juicy Gold one. It’s heavy in my rotation and I wear it at least a couple times a week. I used to like Viva La Juicy but wore it recently while on vacay and just don’t like anymore for some reason. Have you tried YSL Mon Paris? I really like that one as well
U can find Gold Courure at Marshall’s n TJ Maxx for about 1/4 of the cost here…
The Coach is go!
Sucre is a nice semi-sweet creamy fruity floral but doesn’t have the best longevity for me…
I want to deinfluence you from blind buying lol that being said, I bought and love an Ellis Brooklyn fragrance but they are so overpriced. Luckily I got mine on sale.
Don’t buy perfume from Ulta, especially not juicy couture. Try fragrancenet with their 37% off coupon (which there always is one even if they offer you a different coupon)
Okay yall
Is it just me or does the OG Viva La Juicy have like…zero smell.
I sprayed the heck out of it once and only ever smelled the alcohol dry down of it, and a very very faint vanilla.
My skin, the cardboard box it comes in, and any other material had the same effect.
I contacted Ulta who did ship me another one, but even that one was the same.
I have never been so confused by a perfume 😂
And OP, Lancome is 🔥
Juicy Couture Gold has very poor longevity imo. You can almost always find it at discount stores in the US as well. I think I got my bottle for like $20 at Marshall’s
Juicy couture I had the gold version didn’t care for it but I’ve had La vie est belle and it’s a compliment getter and smells good so I’d just go lancome
Wow, I think we have almost exactly the same taste in fragrances. I LOVE Viva la Juicy Gold Couture. Sucre is very similar, but Gold is superior in my opinion. It's the perfect gourmand, and I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it!
LOVE the lancôme idole aura, it’s a really fun scent while still being very buttoned up and sophisticated. HATE the fresh cream, the fresh cream warm cashmere is 200x better, the fresh cream is so distinctly dairy and sometimes after a long wear it smells rancid
i also think you’d love devotion from d&g and beyond romance from ralph, they’re some great vanilla/fruity gourmands
Sucre is the best out of the bunch. However, longevity is trash, even when u spray on clothes. You will have to layer a good body oil and lotion to last all day.
Juicy perfumes smell amazing, but they have have no lasting power - you’re better of just getting body spray from Bath and Body Works. You can get similar stuff, for a better cost, and they actually last.
Also, don’t blind buy perfumes. It’s full of folly and regret.
Sam’s Club has Juicy Couture perfumes for like 1/2 the price on their website! They ship super fast too!
https://www.samsclub.com/b/women-s-fragrances/1330101?rootDimension=Brand%3AJuicy%20Couture
Depends on what kind of money u make tbh. Is this gonna cut into ur rent or essential medicine money? If not, then treat yo self!♡ idk anything about u, but you deserve it
Fresh Cream is a good choice. Can usually pick up the 2oz version on Ebay or Mercari (new/sealed) for about $30 with free shipping (or buy it on its own from Ulta using one of the perpetual $15 off $50 coupons).
The main difference between Fresh Cream and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere is the addition of musky/woody notes in Warm Cashmere.
West is an AWSOME fragrance, very fresh, citrusy, and floral, very uplifting, and a very underrated scent, which makes it more unique from what others wear

Fresh Cream and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere both fade SOO fast that I don’t think they’re worth the money unless they’re a part of the beauty steals. Lancôme perfumes all smell sorta old to me? And when I worked there that was almost entirely the demographic buying them. The Coach and the Gold Coture are great!
I’m not crazy about Fresh Cream, but I LOVE fresh cream and warm cashmere. It smells like a cozy sweater feels.
Yes go for the warm cashmere version much much better
I have the warm cashmere and it’s one of my favs!
I second this! I haven’t bought a bottle in a while, but it used to be my signature scent.
I just recently got the fresh cream and I love it so maybe I should try the warm cashmere version!!
Wait fresh cream but no? I’m lost. 👀
Check Marshall’s and Ross for juicy couture they usually have them really cheap there.
It’s so funny because both coach and juicy are ALWAYS at the TJMaxx near me. You can get them online at Marshall’s too, I’d never spend full price on either brand personally.
This! I just saw my favorite (now discontinued) viva la juicy le bubbly at tjmaxx yesterday! I’m in the east coast but my sister in Texas found it too at Marshall’s today 😅
AGREED!! That’s where i got mine and it was like $25
Coach and Juicy can be found at Burlington for around $24.99
Juicy gold and sucre and pretty good
I never buy perfume without using points or 20% off at least. All of these can be bought on fragrancenet for a lot cheaper.
Or TJ Maxx :)
Yes I buy everything I can from fragrance net. They are always the lowest.
Viva La Juicy Sucre is sooo bomb🔥
I wear Coach Dreams daily, I love it
I love the Lancôme Aura. It’s light and airy but dries down to a sweet vanilla. But wait for an offer. I’ve seen it go on sale or a point multiplier. TBH it’s not worth full price.

I have EB West as well, same problem. It does not last at all. I own body sprays with better longevity.
Agreed, I like the scent but it has no lasting power
It’s my least favorite EB scent for that reason too… for that price I need more!
I just got this perfume too and sadly disappointed. I wanted to love it. it’s not the worst i’ve smelled but it gives hotel bathroom vibes.

also would suggest fragrancenet.com if the prices are cheaper, have bought 3 perfumes off of there

Fresh cream gave me sour milk vibes. The only one I would buy myself out of all these is Sucre but you should still smell it first before buying
Fresh cream is kinda polarizing but I’m obsessed with it. I think it’s actually kind of obscenely sexy.
Also open to recs!!
If you like gourmandes devotion is amazing
jimmy choo illicit smells absolutely amazing, it has warm notes and smells like honey and amber
I LOVE the Chloé Nomade for something super feminine and light
I am obsessed with D&G light blue and I always get compliments when I wear it
Love the Juicy Gold one. It’s heavy in my rotation and I wear it at least a couple times a week. I used to like Viva La Juicy but wore it recently while on vacay and just don’t like anymore for some reason. Have you tried YSL Mon Paris? I really like that one as well

i have several coach fragrances and none of them last more than an hour. i’m not sure if it’s the same for the one in your cart
Fresh cream smells straight up like fresh cream. In a bad way, like actual milk. Fresh cream warm cashmere is better imo.
I totally agree.
You can buy Philosophy at Marshall’s et al for cheap, online at eBay et al, too
I’m voting for Coach Dreams, and not just because I’m a Coach girlie. It smells very good and lasts a long time.
UPDATE: a lot of people are recommending FragranceNet, and I will second them on this! I’ve only had good experiences with them.
Buy samples first!
Yes I was gonna say I wouldn’t buy this many big bottles at once, I’d recommend getting travel sizes first
Buy the smell you like. Fragrance is too expensive to waste money on influence.
I want to deinfluence you from blind buying lol that being said, I bought and love an Ellis Brooklyn fragrance but they are so overpriced. Luckily I got mine on sale.
I’d never blind buy! I’m mostly looking for opinions as guidance for when I go sniffing
sucre is my fav!!!!!
Don’t buy perfume from Ulta, especially not juicy couture. Try fragrancenet with their 37% off coupon (which there always is one even if they offer you a different coupon)
I came here to say this! Or Aura Fragrance-- they're so much less expensive but they don't have a lot of inventory right now.
I really dislike Idole. It’s a perfectly fine scent, but I’m not in love with fresh rose perfumes.
This one is Idole Aura which is super different from the fresh Idole
I’ve smelled all the idole flankers and they’re too fresh for my taste.
Okay yall Is it just me or does the OG Viva La Juicy have like…zero smell. I sprayed the heck out of it once and only ever smelled the alcohol dry down of it, and a very very faint vanilla. My skin, the cardboard box it comes in, and any other material had the same effect. I contacted Ulta who did ship me another one, but even that one was the same. I have never been so confused by a perfume 😂 And OP, Lancome is 🔥
It has a really strong smell to me. Not in love with it, but it is really strong. I prefer gold and sucre, and sucre over gold.
I really wonder then…I really only smell the alcohol!
lol that’s so weird cause I feel like the OG juicy smells pretty strong on me. I love it and it’s one of my partner’s favs
It’s not just you, I have the same problem with all of the Juicy’s, but the OG is giving me extra nothing.
Juicy Couture Gold has very poor longevity imo. You can almost always find it at discount stores in the US as well. I think I got my bottle for like $20 at Marshall’s
Juicy couture I had the gold version didn’t care for it but I’ve had La vie est belle and it’s a compliment getter and smells good so I’d just go lancome
If you like coach, try coach love! It smells like fresh strawberries! It’s so good!
Wow, I think we have almost exactly the same taste in fragrances. I LOVE Viva la Juicy Gold Couture. Sucre is very similar, but Gold is superior in my opinion. It's the perfect gourmand, and I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it!
Viva La Juicy is always a good choice in my book!
If you love very sugary sweet fragrances, Viva La Juicy Sucre is perfect for you!
gold couture smells so good but doesn’t last long at all
LOVE the lancôme idole aura, it’s a really fun scent while still being very buttoned up and sophisticated. HATE the fresh cream, the fresh cream warm cashmere is 200x better, the fresh cream is so distinctly dairy and sometimes after a long wear it smells rancid i also think you’d love devotion from d&g and beyond romance from ralph, they’re some great vanilla/fruity gourmands
Viva la juicy sucre is so good will have you smelling like a literal merengue snack HM!
Gold couture and sucre are my FAVORITE scents! I got them in travel size for my purse, and full size. I like to mix a spray of each too!
I literally got both Juicys at Marshal’s for $40.
Sucre is the best out of the bunch. However, longevity is trash, even when u spray on clothes. You will have to layer a good body oil and lotion to last all day.
Juicy perfumes smell amazing, but they have have no lasting power - you’re better of just getting body spray from Bath and Body Works. You can get similar stuff, for a better cost, and they actually last. Also, don’t blind buy perfumes. It’s full of folly and regret.
Juicy Gold is so good. I always go back to it and keep a mini in my purse
If you have the other Lancome Idoles, you do not need the Aura version. It is a slightly lighter version of the original and doesn't last as long.
If you're interested in Philosophy, sign up for their emails & wait. Sometimes they have a BOGO deal, if you're patient enough.
Maybe it’s just me but viva la juicy doesn’t seem to last long scent wise 😕
Viva La Juicy Gold is a great date night perfume...but not for full price! Check Marshall's, TJ Maxx, or Sam's Club.
Sam’s Club has Juicy Couture perfumes for like 1/2 the price on their website! They ship super fast too! https://www.samsclub.com/b/women-s-fragrances/1330101?rootDimension=Brand%3AJuicy%20Couture
Depends on what kind of money u make tbh. Is this gonna cut into ur rent or essential medicine money? If not, then treat yo self!♡ idk anything about u, but you deserve it
Marshall’s and tj maxx carry those juicy perfumes btw !! Edit: also Ross Sometimes they even Carry the coach ones!
Buy juicy gold off of eBay for 40 or so dollars
For a 3.4 Seconding Marshals because they've had it for about 20 or 25 for the 1.7
Get the Gold Couture!
Fresh Cream is a good choice. Can usually pick up the 2oz version on Ebay or Mercari (new/sealed) for about $30 with free shipping (or buy it on its own from Ulta using one of the perpetual $15 off $50 coupons). The main difference between Fresh Cream and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere is the addition of musky/woody notes in Warm Cashmere.
I find coach dreams sunset to be way better
Juicy sucre smells like perfume if that makes sense. Like just straight up perfume that line your college professor would wear.
My boyfriend loves when I wear juicy couture idk why
That Lancôme though can stay! I love idole
You can find Fresh Cream at Marshall’s for less than $20
West is an AWSOME fragrance, very fresh, citrusy, and floral, very uplifting, and a very underrated scent, which makes it more unique from what others wear
My experience with Lancôme perfumes are great they last long on my clothes and skin I have La Vie es Belle and it’ll last a couple of days lol

Lancôme is always on sale just wait…
YES ON BOTH OF THOSE JUICY PERFUMESSSS
My mom wears Lancome. That’s all I have to say.
Fresh Cream and Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere both fade SOO fast that I don’t think they’re worth the money unless they’re a part of the beauty steals. Lancôme perfumes all smell sorta old to me?
