    Oh good heavens. The Dirty English description should be part of the Prix Eau Faux contest. “Manarchy?” How do you top THAT?

    R, I gave it a quick sniff on a card & didn't wow me, but that is usually true from any quick sniff on a card so is meaningless. Sample goes off to Kevin today 🙂

    Kevin – resident male guinnea pig. heehee 🙂

    *You have to give the Juicy Couture girls some credit for their crazy sense of humor: mulitcolored lap dogs, Marie Antoinette wigs and a logo like “Smells like couture!” those girls are laughing all the way to the bank!

    Exactly!

    And so agree on JC — I don't love the first scent, but they really do a great job on packaging & advertising.

    Umm…. I think I saw this tester in Bloomingdales the other day. I remember freaking out, thinking OH GOD I didn't know Juicy had a men's fragrance! I'm so behind-the-times, and I need to go on nowsmellthis as SOON as I get home!

    Well… haha, I guess I wasn't behing the times. But what I smelled didn't really thrill me. It's as un-edgy as the women's one. Unless there was seriously something I didn't get, I certainly wouldn't call lit anarchic.

    No, you're ahead — it isn't on the Juicy Couture website yet, and all Bloomies has is an “event” listing. Nope, nothing anarchic (MANARCHIC!), although I didn't give it a very thorough test.

    I have to agree that their first scent was a nose burner.

    I felt like I had been stabbed in the nose countless times by small samurai swords.

    Who knows, this might be an improvement, but whenever I look at the advertising I think about a bottle full of clumpy, smelly dirt.

    LOL — but as we all know, JC was a HUGE seller. I'm sure it outdid their expectations by a mile.

    I own JC and happily wear it often. I just wear it lightly, as not to burn anyone's nose off! 😉 LOL!

    You know, I think this post has finally cemented my perfumista status. I'm at peace with just liking what I like. Even if other people (who's opinions I happen to respect on this board) don't. I'm sure someday I'll look back and say “ugh, I can't believe I used to think that smelled good!”, for now I'll just follow my nose. 😀

    I don't know if I want to smell this, but I love the bottles! I do love the Juicy Bottles. I avoided the JC womens for as long as I could and was given a cutesy sample. I did spray it on, and wanted to hate it, not sure why, is the name Juicy I hate? (might be). But it was okay. Like the Ms. Dior Cherie family, but I like Ms. Dior Cherie and love the bottle..but I digress..
    I LOVE the name Dirty English (I teach English as a foreign language and I have to have the bottle.

    They really know how to package — I'd love to have one of the travel bottles of Juicy Couture myself.

    Well, if you want an empty of the full size let me know. I've got 2 bottles (gifts) and one is almost empty.

    You are so sweet! And I'm so picky — I'm after that nifty little metal travel size with the charms hanging off it, LOL!

    Picky is never a bad thing! And that little bottle *is* way cute – like a tiny zippo or a flask. If I had it I doubt I'd be nice enough to part with it! 🙂
