“I really wanted to redefine what a juicy scent is. Juice centers on succulent, vibrant fruits, but the ingredients I paired them with make this scent unique. Bulgarian Rose and fresh Cyclamen add bloom and breath rather than classic floral facets. Amberwood brings modernity and depth, elevating the idea of juice as we know it. Juice Expressive is an explosive, colorful, unconventional twist on the juicy, fruity fragrance profile."—Nathalie Benareau
A sparkling interpretation of Juice that showcases the lighter side of ripe red fruits. Strawberry, Rhubarb and Raspberry Pulp are stirred into transparency with ethereal Amberwood and fresh Violet Leaf!.
I recently saw that the limited edition Glossybox For Mum Edit contains a 30ml bottle of the Commodity J̌uice fragrance - and the six-piece gift set costs less than a 30ml bottle alone [then you also have the other individually packaged items which make perfect gifts for others] - so yeah, I ordered a set as soon as it became available for purchase...
I've now had it for a couple of weeks and feel familiar with it enough to go into a deeper exploration, so that you can decide if it is worth getting the GlossyBox edit for the chance to save yourself some money on the bottle of the Commodity, before stock sells out.
Strawberry notes in bodycare products are very nostalgic for me as I was all about strawberry body sprays & bath products as a child - so Juice immediately scores points for me because the sweetly fresh strawberry is very authentic seeming and lingers thoughout the entire weartime. A tart raspberry accompanies the strawberry, to prevent the sweetness of the strawberry from being overt.
Cyclamen is not a floral scent that I'm familiar with; the Bulgarian rose is very rich & freshly dewy not powdery, with a sprinkling of peppery spice behind it, and I believe that this is all due to the cyclamen boosting the rose up several notches [the scent of cyclamen is described as being similar to rose]. The listed rhubarb and sprinkling of violet are the only other scent notes that I can confidently separate, but I'll take a guess at there also being lily & peony here too. The ambery wood blend comes through as the projection softens and makes it hard to separate the woods apart - sandalwood and a drop of cedar?
The longevity isn't as good as the other Commodity fragrance I have experience with; Juice typically wears for around six to seven hours. The projection isn't as soft as I had been expecting - it's on the softer side of moderate for the first hour, then softens but not quite to the expected level of being described as a skin-scent.
Officially listed scent notes: Raspberry, Strawberry, Bulgarian Rose, Violet Leaf, Cyclamen, Rhubarb and Amberwood.
My impulsive Glossybox purchase has turned out in my favour - I really enjoy this fragrance. I'll definitely be considering a repurchase when my bottle is empty - but like with Milk, I can't say that I ennjoy it enough to the point that I can say that I will definitely repurchase it since it is pricy for what it is.
Between this and Milk, I'm not sure which one is my favourite overall scent-wise, but I do think that Juice is definitely the easiest to wear; I'd say that you can wear this day or night, and it'll be suitable in any season.
You can buy Commodity fragrances from Sephora, Space NK, Liberty, Harvey Nichols and Cult Beauty, as well as from the Commodity site.
10ml perfume pens are £30, 30ml bottles are £68 and 100ml bottles are £140 - I have only noticed the 30ml bottles on the Commodity site - are they so popular that other retailers can't keep them in stock?
