Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Always Red
This is a grown-up gourmand that punches way above its weight - if you can get hold of the original formulation. Forget the dud re-release; the proper stuff is a sexy, rich, plum-praline dream with beast-mode performance that's often compared to Armani Si, but at a fraction of the price. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser and a steal if you find it.

Our Verdict - Viva La Juicy Le Bubbly
A sparkling, pretty scent that's pure fun in a bottle, if you don't mind over-spraying. Shame about the woeful performance, which means most people find it hard to justify the price for something that disappears faster than your last-minute holiday plans.

Season and Occasion Fit

Always Red

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, particularly the original formulation, make it less suitable for office wear. However, the rich, sweet, and sensual profile, combined with its impressive longevity, makes it perfect for alluring date nights or making a statement at formal events. It's too heavy for sport.

Viva La Juicy Le Bubbly

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and fizzy nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even sport. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it won't overwhelm an office, but it might not make an impact on a date or formal event.
