I was in a shop that had all their perfumes in cabinets with tiny gaps that you could reach through and press the sprayer to spritz onto your sample cards but being that the gaps were so small and me being fairly uncoordinated I managed to spray both this Couture Couture fragrance and La La Malibu onto my hand. Surprisingly, the mixture of the oriental Couture and the fruity Malibu complimented each other perfectly - not too deep but also not too fruity sweet. I ended up buying them both so I could layer properly.
The Couture Couture on its own is very strong so a little goes a LONG way. It has a very warm oriental scent, the description is an oriental floral but to me it's not especially floral. I'd really only wear this one on a night out or on a cold winters day.
I'm not a fan of the bottle itself. It's quite tall and has a metal emblem/crown at the top. The part that I'm not so keen on is the pink zip around the neck of the bottle, it cheapens it and doesn't really say "Couture"
I probably won't repurchase as it's too strong of a scent for me.
I managed to purchase the 100ml bottle on holiday at an amazing price, one of my favourite holiday purchases.
I also tried to write a review for another fragrance while wearing this one, totally did not work for me. This is a stunner!
The bottle, Juicy never do a dull bottle. Such a grand looking bottle, clear glass with embossed patterns around the base and middle and top. The lid is a clear plastic one with a metal crown like top. Very grand.
I actually cant believe this fragrance has been around since 2009 and I have only just discovered it, what a loss on my part.
At first, you get the scent of citrus, as in mandarin and grapefruit. The middle scents are more floral, as in jasmine and honeysuckle and finishing with my favourite sandalwood, amber and vanilla.
I spray behind my ears, on my wrists and in the crook of my elbow. It lasts for an age, and people notice!
Wearing this fragrance makes me feels like I can take on the world. It is feminine and sexy and fabulous, and that's how you feel when you wear this.
Tips: Always try on your body before you buy.
