Water pump switch replacement: this article describes how to replace a water pressure control switch which is not working properly or perhaps is not working at all. We describe and illustrate how to find the pump switch, then we detail how to identify, remove, and replace the water pump pressure control switch for both above-ground pump and submersible well pump systems.

In the sketch at page top the water pump pressure control switch is item #4 - we show this switch in more details in photographs provided below.
How to Remove and Replace a Water Pump Pressure Control Switch
This article explains the detailed steps to follow in removing and replacing a water pump pressure control switch. If you want to take apart, inspect, and try cleaning up an old pump control, use the directions here to remove or reinstall it, use the information at PUMP PRESSURE CONTROL REPAIR to inspect and clean the control.
Here are a few tips that will make removing and replacing the water pump control switch easier, and which will reduce the water spillage (or spray) into the room during this operation.
we like to prepare the new replacement parts with pipe dope or teflon tape before taking apart the old ones - that makes it quicker and neater in reassembling the pump pressure control switch with minimum water spillage.
Reconnect the electrical wiring to the water pump control just as the previous control was wired.
For a 120V circuit, there will be four electrical wires, two line-in wires (hot and neutral wires) from the power source are connected to two screws which may be indicated as "Line" by markings on the switch, and two line-out wires (hot and neutral wires) bringing power out of the control and on to the water pump.
If your pump pressure control switch is controlling a higher capacity submersible well pump, the electrical wires leaving the control may feed a separate heavy duty pump relay switch rather than going directly to the water pump. Well pump relays are discussed at WATER PUMP RELAY SWITCH.
Wipe dry any wet parts, especially around the bottom of the pump control and where the pump control mounting pipe or fitting mounts into the water pump or water tank fitting.
Inspect your plumbing connections closely for water seeping out - if you have leaks go back to step 1 or 2 and re-make your connections with better preparation of the threads with pipe dope or teflon tape.
IF the well pump is still not turning on and off properly you probably have another or a different problem. See the other water pressure and water pump control diagnostic articles listed at the left of these pages.
A Guide to Building Water Pressure by Adjusting or Repairing the Water Pump Pressure Control Switch
Reader Question: how do I replace the well pump pressure control switch shown in this photo?
Regarding your text stating that
There is no such tubing [visible] on my system (see the photo at left), yet switches I looked at, at HomeDepot.com mention "1/4 in. pressure connection".
Am I going to run into a problem if I don't have this tubing? Can I still use such a switch? Here is a picture of back of the pressure control switch.
Reply: You'll be fine with a new pressure control switch, a close nipple (iron pipe thread) of brass or galvanized steel, and some teflon pipe tape or pipe sealant.
It looks like your switch a 1/4" rather than 1/8" diameter iron pipe though I'm not quite sure from just the photo. Larger diameter gauge and pressure switch mounting pipe means less likely for the pipe itself to clog with sediment, rust, debris. But the principle is the same.
The reason you don't see a "tube' or mounting pipe is that your pressure switch connecting base (red arrow in photo above) is screwed directly into that galvanized iron tee (green arrow), almost certainly using a "close nipple". See our brass close-nipple photo at left and see the white marking line in photo above showing where that part is hidden.
A close nipple is nothing more than a very short section of threaded pipe. (photo at left). For comparison, here is a photo of a standard pipe nipple, also made of brass in this case. You can see another close nipple in your photo above - between the galvanized pipe tee and the metal to plastic bushing that adapts the whole setup to fit into that white plastic fitting (between the green and yellow arrows in our annotated photo).
When you unscrew the pressure control switch from the pipe tee shown in your photo, the close nipple will either come out with and remain attached to the switch bottom or it will remain screwed into the tee. If the close nipple remains screwed into the tee and does not move at all, you may be able to screw the new switch right onto it.
Watch out. If the close pipe nipple moves in the tee but you try just leaving it in place you may have a leak when you repressurize the system.
To change out the pressure switch shown in the photo above, you'd turn off power, remove wiring from the switch, drain pressure off of the water pressure tank to reduce the spillage when you remove the switch, then carefully unscrew the switch (attach a wrench to the fitting on the bottom of the switch) from the pipe. I'd probably use a small pipe wrench or Vise-Grip™ tool to remove the old close nipple from whichever side of the fittings it remained, and I'd install a new one to be sure my installation didn't leak.
Your plumbing supplier can supply you with both a threaded pipe nipple of the proper diameter and a new pressure switch (whose bottom typically includes a mounting fitting sporting a female NPT threaded fitting intended to screw onto a pipe, tube, or close nipple). (Some pressure switches might be supplied with a male threaded bottom fitting instead of female - check the parts before you leave the supplier so you have what you need to make the new connection.)
Watch out: because your whole setup of switch and gauge are mounted in a larger diameter PVC plastic pipe fitting (yellow arrow in photo above), if the switch is hard to unscrew you risk breaking that plastic part - which would mean more work to repair the system. Avoid this problem by using two wrenches, one holding the metal pipe tee into which the switch base is screwed, and the other turning the switch base against the tee. That will avoid stressing and breaking the plastic.
Use a bit of teflon tape or pipe dope when mounting the new switch but don't blob pipe dope or tape into the switch bottom where it might block the sensing switch diaphragm orifice.
Is a Pressure Control Switch Required in Water Pump Installations?
Reader Question: the switch that turns my pump on and off broke off: can I just wire the pump directly?
Hi I have a sta rite well pump that I had to pull up to replace the foot valve in but after replacing it and putting the pump back in my switch that turns it on and off broke and the pump wouldn't turn on. So my father in law has the same pump but doesn't have a switch it's just wired in with the 4 screw diagram in this tutorial so my question is how would I wire this so it will come on and just just by pass the switch and let the breaker control on\off? Thanx for any help - R.V. 10/17/2013
Reply: Yes. Where to find Pentair's Sta-Rite well pump installation guides & wiring instructions:
I'll be glad to help,R.V., but to do so I need to know which pump you have installed (there are several Sta Rite models); we'll review the manufacturer's installation and wiring instructions. Since I'm not sure what's going on at your pump or what you meant by "this tutorial", and not knowing just what broke, I describe two possible cases:
Watch out: in general we would not want to wire up a well water pump to simply be "always on" nor would we wire a home water pump to run without a pressure control switch for several reasons:
Certainly a review of typical installation instructions for a Sta-Rite deep-well jet pump makes amply clear that the company expects the pump to be powered and controlled through a pressure control switch.
In an emergency I would not hesitate to wire a pump to be turned on and off manually provided that a competent person were standing by the power switch to turn the pump on and off as needed; I would never leave such an emergency hookup in the "ON" Position for the reasons cited above.
Send me some sharp photos of the pump, its identifying labels, and also photos from a distance so I can see how the pump is hooked up and wired presently. When I have seen which pump you have, we can figure this out together.
If you want to contact the company directly, Sta Rite well pumps are provided by Pentair under the brand Sta-Rite - their website is at http://www.sta-rite.com/ and their page on water pumps and systems is at http://www.sta-rite.com/

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: add a switch to protect water pump from damage?
(Apr 25, 2012) Ernie Parsons said:
I live in the North (Nunavut) and our water is supplied by truck and held in a 700 gal. tank. Sometimes when it storms and the trucks fall behind schedule and we run out of water. The problem is when this happens the pump continues to run and if we don't catch it quickly it heats up and ruins the impeller centre or the bearing. My question: is there a shut off I can install on the pump or water line that will shut the pump off when the tank is empty.
Certainly, Ernie. Take a look at the controls described at WATER PUMP PROTECTION SWITCH
Question: what's the right air charge for a bladderless water pressure tank?
(June 14, 2012) Mack said:
Replacing pressure switch on bladder-less tank. After I drain tank and replace switch, should I add some pressure to the the tank a few pounds below cut in (28 for a 30)as one would do with bladder tank or is this unnecessary? Thanks
Mack, for a bladderless water tank if you empty the tank completely of water then most likely you won't have to add more pressure for the tank to work just fine when the pump is turned back on.
Question: pump won't come on
Aug 21, 2012) Dawn said:
When I turn on the watering system the pump does not come on but the relay switch box clicks and it clicks when I turn it off as well. I was told it could be this. New to this so I just wanted your opinion
(Jan 15, 2013) Stacy V. said:
I replaced the switch and rewired everything correct. I can't get any spark or anything. I have power coming to the switch, but still nothing??? HELP!!! I have no water...
Dawn and Stacey V:
take a look at WATER PUMP DIAGNOSTIC TABLE and let us know if that doesn't solve the problem you describe.

|I finally dropped one of these a few days back. Very much like the blue bosses i posted up. Almost identical press and roll experience. Exceptional pills. These and the bosses are the most potent and clean pills I've come across in awhile. Nice, long roll with a nice, long peak, Eye wiggles like crazy. Very euphoric. Easy come down. I fell asleep easily after my roll was over. If you happen to come across these pills, don't be scared to pick them up. Quality pills.

I had some lavender playboy's in Denver about a month ago and they were pretty good in my opinion. They had the slit on the back just like these one's and the bunny head on the other. 1 had me feeling nice, 2 had me rolling balls.

Thanks for the testing results! Those look nice, not like the 'normal' bunny presses you see. Don't forget to update! :-) ~R*Mod

These were without a doubt some of the best pills that I have ever come across and honestly I think you should change the rating to MDxx High, because these blew me away with just one and then the other one hit me.. Yea, I'ma have to stop dropping a second before the first fully hits me.. that was crazy!
|Posted on May 9, 2008, 3:23 pm GMT by westside (member since January 24, 2007)
by the way, have to say I almost shat myself when I saw these tested.. I mean for once we have good, clean pills around MPLS.. Crazy...
|Posted on May 17, 2008, 10:04 pm GMT by littlela22 (member since May 17, 2008)
These are great. I was rolling balls after just one. They hit really suddenly, and come down just the same. Once I'm down, I'm ready for bed instead of being speedy for a few hours.
|Posted on May 20, 2008, 9:19 pm GMT by seansterxtc (member since May 20, 2008)
yep, this looks just like the ones i got.
i parachuted one on a friday at about 11:30pm with a few friends. i didn't even feel mine. one of my friends took about 3hours to hit him. then saturday i got another and popped it late again and this time felt it within an hour but only peaked for about half hour. and it wasn't really the hyper type of roll i like. it was more just sitting there feeling really good. not running or dancing kind... if that makes any sense ha.
does anyone know some really good ones going around in this area?
|Posted on May 23, 2008, 5:02 am GMT by pendulum909 (member since February 2, 2008)
do these have sparkles on them???
|Posted on May 24, 2008, 6:35 pm GMT by bergy121 (member since April 19, 2007)
Just parachuted one of these an hour ago and I feel nothin.
I'll wait it out a bit longer but I think my body has somwhat made it so I'm immune to MDMA.
Same thing happened few months back, last time I tried X. NOthing
I think my time is up. :(
|Posted on May 25, 2008, 7:49 pm GMT by kylej608 (member since January 6, 2008)
chewed up three at once last night. rolled fucking balls its been 24 hours and my eyes are still a little dialated lol
|Posted on May 26, 2008, 6:50 am GMT by ayzee (member since May 26, 2008)
Havn't gotten a chance to take these yet. picked up a few others with them hoping they are good but im wondering why 2 er 3 people said they took them and didn't roll at all? yet the others rolled balls. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens...
oh and bergy, there's no way you can be immune to them, it's a small possibility but your tolerance for the ill is much higher than one pill. take more next time ;]
|Posted on May 30, 2008, 10:50 pm GMT by purplebosses1 (member since May 31, 2008)
yeah seanster. me and my friend parachuted one, he felt it after like 2 hours.
we were about to fall asleep then he woke me up and said he was peeking.
then we popped another one the next night. i felt it walking home from a gas station and he didnt feel his all night. in need of some good rolls!
|Posted on May 31, 2008, 6:34 pm GMT by jstchl09 (member since May 31, 2008)
I chewed up one of these, a red playboy, and a green pistol and i gigged for maybe an hour tops. But all of my friend only popped one and were rollin so hard. Good pill but for sure take two atleast if you come across
|Posted on June 2, 2008, 1:00 am GMT by mohawkmonsoon (member since March 26, 2008)
i just bought 2 of these and they have sparkles...and no line. any thoughts?
|Posted on June 2, 2008, 6:45 am GMT by thizzle master (member since June 2, 2008)
i must agree that these pills are some of the cleanest pills around the twin cities. at least out of the ones ive been getting my hands on lately.
i highly recommend these.
great peak and long roll.
|Posted on June 10, 2008, 3:02 am GMT by kylej608 (member since January 6, 2008)
these pills are dank as fuck.
same as the purple/lavender pb.
best mn has seen in a while.
|Posted on June 13, 2008, 8:08 am GMT by hxccxh (member since June 13, 2008)
I popped two of these and as my roll kicked in and my god I haven't rolled that hard in a long ass time! Nice clean fuckin rolls you can't go wrong with these! I'd recommened only eating two though the snorted half made me breathe a little messed up
|Posted on June 13, 2008, 8:14 pm GMT by rollinsti7 (member since March 26, 2008)
these look really really nice if i saw em id def pick up a quantity for sure. the press looks very professinal and clean as well. Id much em.

If anyone can find any like this around the MN area, give me some links!!!!
|Posted on June 30, 2008, 4:09 am GMT by mohawkmonsoon (member since March 26, 2008)
i took these, they didnt have lines in the back of them. they had silver and pick sparkles. they were great. rolled hard, it was a chill enough roll to talk to people but speedy enough to dance for hours. excellent. lights were cool
|Posted on July 12, 2008, 7:42 pm GMT by skyline142 (member since June 22, 2008)
Fuck, I miss these things. Around the Western Wisconsin area, it used to be all these, crowns, bosses, all the good pills. No we are gettign bombarded with shitty pills.
|Posted on August 24, 2008, 6:29 pm GMT by jakki (member since August 24, 2008)
NO.My experience here in the twin cities with these pills wasn't that great. I literally felt the pills 20 minutes after i had bit them in half and swallowed the 2 pills at once. And the crazy thing is, It was like I was peaking right away. 15- 30 minutes later I was done, and I wanted to leave the rave. I was already coming down.=[
|Posted on September 10, 2008, 2:29 am GMT by kylej608 (member since January 6, 2008)
Their mda thats why you just get the good feeling and not the hyper lovey feeling. nothing like mdmda =[

Notes from New Zealand, 2011

These notes accompany our in-depth feature on
New Zealand 2011
UK importer for Ostler is Berry Bros & Rudd. See all stockists on
Ostler Vineyards, Blue House Vines Riesling 2008
From vineyards on an alluvial river terrace, not on limestone. Nice, light, lemony nose with a touch of light saline. The palate is very dry, with a racy, lime and lemon freshness and lovely delicacy. 88/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Blue House Vines 2010
Quite an elegant, lemon rind and lime and note that is a little more sparky, lightly waxy note. Fantastic punch and verve on the palate with that same delicious shimmering balance. Long and beautifully tapering and elegant in the finish. 91/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Audrey's Pinot Gris 2009
One third in big, old oak barrels. Whole cluster, wild ferment. A tiny little pear skin note and a touch of lemon rind, very much focused on a tight fruit quality. The palate has a dry character, with lots of that lovely pithy, lemon and grapefruit punch to the acidity. This is fine and very racy, and has a real bite and lightness. 13.5% alcohol with plenty of punch. 90/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Audrey's Pinot Gris 2008
Has a lot more fat and sweet vanillin richness on the nose, a clean melony fruit and a lovely, with a touch of honey and lots of apple pie fruit. Slightly short on the finish, but really nice crisp acidity and balance. Drinks beautifully. 89/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Blue House Pinot Gris 2009
From a clay-rich limestone moving into alluvial soils. Partially foot-trodden, this has a rounded, appealing, lightly honeyed quality, lightly honeysuckle. Has a touch of melon and peach ripeness, but the stone fruit comes through and is delicious and taut. Very nice palate, plenty of dry acidity and a tight fruit definition into a long finish. 89/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Caroline's Pinot Noir 2009
100% wild yeast and 25% new French oak. Grapes were 100% de-stemmed, but that philosophy is changing. 14.3% alcohol, the highest to date. Lovely fragrant oak, with a tight spiciness and light cherry and cherry skin fruit, a touch of liquoricy concentration. Superb palate, a tight raspberry and cherry juice quality, wreathed in delicate smokiness and with a tight, lightly herbal edge that really focuses the finish. 92-93/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Caroline's Pinot Noir 2008
Lovely soft nose, with more earthy open-textured raspberry and red cherry fruits. There's a big orangy acidity here, a real tang of fresh, citrusy acidity as it hits the palate, with tight structure of the tannins. Again that chicory and liquorice bittersweet quality is lovely and has a tight, structured palate that will soften over coming years. Less bold and deeply-fruited than the 2009, but has energy and edge. 92/100.
Ostler Vineyards, Caroline's Pinot Noir 2006
Still quite a solid, deep colour. Gorgeous Pinot development here, with some truffle and damp, undergrowth notes, the soft red berry fruit nicely mingled in there. The palate has a little vegetal quality suggesting less ripeness than the 2009 certainly, but it is attractively lithe and sinewy, with tight acidity that is perhaps just a little prominent, but again a very fine wine. 90/100.

19But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
20And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:
21Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
22And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
23And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
24And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia:
25And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
26And when they were come, and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
27And they abode no small time with the disciples.
19But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

There's something old-timey about Ann M. Martin's Main Street series, and as I read book 3, 'Tis the Season (you can listen to an excerpt here!), I struggled to put my finger on it. Maybe because it's set in a small, almost retro-feeling town called Camden Falls; maybe because no one seems to use cell phones or even computers. Or maybe it's because the challenges the characters face feel timeless — as if the series could be set in the early 1900's rather than here and now.
Flora and Ruby are the two main characters of Main Street. They are orphan sisters who in book 1 moved into their grandmother Min's house in the idyllic Camden Falls (idyllic only if you enjoy small towns where everyone knows everyone else!). They're supported by a large cast of characters, both young and old, and we readers are given ample glimpses into almost everyone's minds.
In 'Tis the Season, Flora and Ruby are excited about the holiday season and all the magic that Camden Falls has to offer, yet their excitement is tinged with sadness too. It's their first holiday season without their parents, and everything is different; plus, their aunt is coming to town, and she doesn't seem to like spending much time with the girls.
Meanwhile, there are lots of events and parties happening at Needle & Thread, Min's sewing shop in the center of town, so Flora and Ruby (along with their best friends, Olivia and Nikki) are busy helping out.
Both Olivia and Nikki are dealing with their own struggles in 'Tis the Season as well. Olivia's parents, who have both been out of work, are considering moving the family out of Camden Falls, while Nikki's father (though he's not much of one) has left town with a promise to send money back. He doesn't, though, and Nikki is worried about their family's finances, whether her mother will be able to support them, and perhaps most of all, whether she can help make her little sister Mae's Christmas dreams come true. (Her friends, and the town of Camden Falls, come to the rescue!)
If this sounds like a lot for one book to cover, it is! I was impressed with how much action was included in this title. Each chapter is jam-packed with events that help move the story forward. But there are some incredibly touching (yet subtle) moments, too — when Ruby wakes up to the hushed, gray light of the first snowfall of the season; when the girls tag along with their neighbor to visit the elder-care home his sick wife will soon be moving into; and when Min, at the end of the book, reflects back on how her now-bustling house used to be so quiet. Instead, now it's full of life, noise, and energy.
Any Main Street fans out there? What do you think of book 3 'Tis the Season?

I have it: 254 I had it: 42 I want it: 471 My signature: 4
Another fragrance—limited edition by Juicy Couture—joins the trendy wave of Noir editions. It will arrive in selected stores in July 2013, and globally from August 2013, as announced by moodiereport. The officials of the house of Elizabeth Arden accentuate that Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir explores the seductive face of the original Viva La Juicy editions.
Top notes of the composition await us with a juicy union of berries and mandarin, announcing the floral blend of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine in the heart of the fragrance. The base closes with amber, caramel, vanilla and sandalwood.
Viva la Juicy Noir will be available in metallic pink flacons with a black satin bow ribbon. The outer carton is colored in a combination of pink and black. The fragrance arrives as 50ml and 100ml EDP, along with a rollerball duo which contains Viva La Juicy 5 ml and Viva La Juicy Noir 5 ml.

The sexier twin. Nothing dark in this just fruity caramel. Very easy to wear and moderate in intensity and stays a good while. Very commercial.
My favorite Viva La Juicy is the Gold edition. I am not crazy about the original, because as many have described, it has a synthetic quality that just doesn't work for me. The 'Noir' update is better than the original, but on me, not as good as the Gold. The Noir name doesn't really fit, because the fragrance isn't extra sensual or night-time feeling. At first spray, this comes out with a burst of berry notes, like a fruity shampoo scent. It settles down and the jasmine picks up pretty strong. Then further, it mostly settles into a berry/musk scent that is very light and not incredibly unique. It seems more like an EDT than EDP, because the longevity and sillage are very moderate to light and it doesn't last long enough. I prefer a stronger vanilla/caramel - which is why I love the Gold. If you love the berry notes, minus the synthetic-ness of the original, you will probably really enjoy the Noir. I would definitely try before you buy to see how it works with your chemistry and if the longevity is better for you than it was for me.
That's honestly how this fragrance smells to me.
This is definitely a fragrance many girls need...
Not a "staple" item that every girl SHOULD have such as the Original Viva La Juicy from Juicy Couture, but definitely a nice runner up as this is a very classic yet "why isn't this booming yet?" fragrance.
Extremely cute and makes me feel all dainty and luxury at the same time and honestly makes me feel like a young and blooming princess.
TOO much glass around the actual bottle.
4/5: simply because the heaviness.
Very obvious notes of berry, honeysuckle, and caramel. Smells like a berry vanilla yogurt with a drizzle of melted honey caramel over the top. Sweet yet doesn't make you hungry, warming yet not too oriental, and very fragrant but won't give you headaches.
Yet I agree there is nothing much "noir" about this, even to a teen's perspective as this is really simply a cocktail blend of berries, warm caramel honey, and vanilla (making it quite playful and flirty). Has a lot of depth and floats more in the deeper range, not very fresh or lime.
5/5: balanced and creamy ornate.
Something extremely UNIQUE about this fragrance is that while it's three dimensional, unlike most perfumes, this doesn't change much throughout the day and tends to have the same top, heart, and base notes lingering all day, just fainter and in balance.
Just like Atelier Cologne fragrances.
+5: this unique aspect really is something to "woo" over.
What I personally find ICKY about this is the way this... well, radiates. It's not a very versatile fragrance to start off with (not very sophisticated).
Regarding that, it's actually kind of hard to tell if it begins getting too fragrant on the skin (I know that sounds extremely odd, but you truthfully don't know if how much you have on is too much) unless someone comes and notifies you.
=0: honestly doesn't shift my opinion about it too much but it's still something I'd rather not deal with.
NOT GOOD FOR... professional work, fancy events.
GREAT FOR... school, romantic dates.
Strong sillage, lasts a moderately long time, and smells warming without being too strong or base-toned. Lovely fragrance, in my opinion :)
P.S. On my friend, it smells of watermelon and dries down to a more tropical that isn't coconut, but quite summery. On me, it stays the same as once I've sprayed it, so it's definitely quite another unique aspect about this self-fitting perfume.
The berries were overwhelming to me from the beginning and that was all I could smell all day. Staying power is good though, can still smell on my wrist after 8 hours. Prefer the original.
Just bought a big bottle of this today ughh!!! I love it! it smells very creamy with a hint of berries, it smells nothing like the original viva la juicy like other ppl are saying, in my opinion, I own both, and this one is deff for a night out, or on a dark foggy day, Noir fits this perfume
This is almost exactly like the original except with a more intense burst of berries. Far into the dry down the two are almost indistinguishable. There's really nothing "noir" about it unless Juicy is playing fast and loose with an artistic interpretation of the color of blueberries.
If you like one, you'll like the other.
It smells like the orginal just with berries :) but the berries fade away fast, which makes it the same as viva la juicy
first spray is really good, with a kind of toned down, creamy, berry smell. it shoots off you, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. the dry down is really subtle and nice. a really nice foggy day, gray skied evening or late night perfume.
It is amazing how I apparently have 4 juicy couture perfumes in my collection. I bought each of them because, well, I just wanna have them.
My favorites are juicy couture edp and this.
It smells like creamy berries, sweet caramel, and soft vanilla. LOVE this perfume.
Just going along with what everyone else said in terms of the type of scent; it is ripe berries, juicy and bright. I just love the creaminess of this scent. In general, love the scent for the first 10 minutes and then I get no more scent projection at all! This has the equivalent lasting power of a body spray (or worse). It's such a shame that none of the Viva La Juicy's last on me.
it smells musky fruity and juicy and "dark" so noir is the right name for this perfume.
i really like this, its more calm than viva la juicy...i have them both, and when i want to have a more calm dark version of viva la juicy, i wear this!
It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long! I have no idea what is "noir" about this fruity scent that opens heavy on the mixed berries and then turns into barely-discernible caramel and vanilla within an hour or so. This is the kind of scent that might trick an unsuspecting shopper into buying it based on the first fruity whiff, without realizing that a fro-yo will last longer. Truly, its most notable characteristic is the speed at which it disappears...
@mariafr91 - maybe you got a tester.
Hello,could you tell me if it's normal that the box is white inside without any decorations? Or is a fake that i've received?
This is nice. One of the very few berry, fruity, bodywash fragrances I would buy.
I don't get the 'noir' - this is bright, perhaps more noir than the original, I don't know - but it's no dark, mysterious fragrance (then again, I am a diehard oriental lover so this may appear 'dark' to others). Well done. This is my favourite of all the Juicy Couture fragrances. That being said, I wouldn't spend $100 on this.
Viva la juicy noir, really there isn't something noir on it. Juicy does two things. If a perfume goes well, it gives out many editions on it. Like Viva la juicy born viva la juicy la fleur for younger ages and an EDT/softer edition. Couture La La born Couture La La Malibu and it goes on...So let's get back to VLJ Noir. For me smells just like the original BUT with a more mature taste. There is no praline like the VLJ, so it isn't too 'sweet' and there's an intensity on top notes. So, it's strawberry/berry strong notes that mixed with the middle, the flowery one and then vanilla/caramel/sandalwood do the work. If I were you, I would choose VLJ and not VLJ noir except if you're 30+ or you prefer the more fruit-sweetness. Because I've heard about Couture La La & VLJ noir weak powers, I will only tell you that it depends on your skin. There are times that I spray 2-3 and I can't smell them after some hours and days that I only spray once and could smell them after 8 hours! 6/10 for me. Sorry VLJ Noir, VLJ will always be a winner ;)
SO FRUITY, ohmygoddd.
this one is so far my favorite out of the Juicy Couture fragrances.
It's like fruit, with a bit of vanilla drizzled over top, with an underlying woodsy/sandlewood note.
Totally want to get this, but not willing to dish out 100$ for a bottle : /
(It's good, but definately not worth the price)
There's nothing noir about this perfume. It smells cheap and common just like the original
Not identical to the original! When you spray this one you will get a blast of berries (mainly strawberries) right at the start, then it mellows down similar to viva
This one is just like Viva la juicy. It doesn't contain praline note, as I see. But I don't smell much of a difference.
Very juicy, sweet and girly, nothing "noir" about it.
I don't enjoy it, just like I don't enjoy the original.
Good... for someone else.
Have Viva la juicy too and it smells very similar to this, but I love both of them! It's so sweet, fruity, girly and makes me feel young.
is it really weak longevity and sillage? ;(
I was coaxed into this purchase due to the bottle as I like pink. the perfume was tooo sweet and sugary. it left me feeling like a kid who just finished eating cookies and milk. I returned and purchased the juicy coutoure la la Malibu, I returned that one too because of the poor sillage a poor longevity
Smells EXACTLTY like Viva La Juicy just a tad stronger though. I wouldn't buy it if you already have the first Viva.
Update: If you want something that has more berry, try Big Pony 2 for women. Smells reminiscent of Viva La Juicy Noir but better in my opinion as well as cheaper. I also prefer Meow to this as well of which I layer with Sexy Little Things Noir Tease body lotion.
I have both this and Viva La Juicy. I think this is stronger and better silage on my body. I hold this scent better. I personally would rather keep just this. Viva won't last as long on me and Noir is deeper so I have more longevity. Love the hot pink and black just wish it was a tad bit spicy with the floral fruity I think that would have given it a kick.
This is possibly the worst perfume ever for me. I received a tester vial through Birchbox and was immediately skeptical. The styling of the packaging is tacky and cheap looking. I spritzed a little on my wrist to test it. It opened with the cotton candy effervescence of Betsey Johnson's original fragrance. Definitely younger than I like. Seconds later, I caught the vanilla/caramel and a little sandalwood. And then I was assaulted by the horribly synthetic dime store musk. I got an instant headache and had to wash it off before I got sick. The middle notes on this are almost non-existent, the base notes are obviously synthetic with no "noir" to speak of. The top notes evaporate and are quickly overtaken by the heavy base. This starts youthful and cheap and ends like a 1980s designer imposter mishap. Noooooope.
YES! Juicy Couture, you did it! You hit a home run with this one!
I used to have the original Viva la juicy, which I bought on my travels in the States a few years back, before they began selling it in my country. I remember smelling it at Macy's and being almost floored by the beauty of it, like that perfume had been custom made according to my tastes, so I simply had to grap a bottle right then and there. I did enjoy it, but for some reason did not wear it very often. I found it a bit too strong and too sweet for me to be comfortable in my own skin, when wearing it. It made me feel a bit self conscious every time I had sprayed some on. So when they started selling it where I live, I gave my bottle of Viva la Juicy away.
Viva la Juicy Noir is excatly what I neeeded from Viva la Juicy. It's a more refined version. Still sweet, don't get me wrong, but in a little less cloying way, a bit more airy and the amped up berry note adds a slight freshness to it. Skipping the praline and kepping the caramel was a good decision IMO. The heavenly berries (which to my nose sometimes feels like cherries, even though I know it's not). are the star and saviour of this perfume. So delicious!
I feel Noir is an improved version of the original Viva la Juicy. I don't have a problem with lasting power or sillage, but I like that it's a little lighter that the original. This I can leave the house with, without being overly self conscious of what I'm wearing.
For me Juicy Couture nailed it with Viva la Juicy Noir and I think they are crazy to have made this a limited edition only!
Amazing scent!
Amazing bottle!
Will be amazing to have it!!!
In my opinion, this is way better than the original, it's smells really fruity and nice,without being that caramel/vanilla bomb like the first one.
It did not smell NOIR to me, it smelled very nice, fruity, flirty (on the paper mouillette). On me= It does not smell. At all. My mom's verdict after smelling me: way too discreet ...
I love this scent. This is a more intense version of the original and it's amazing!!!
One spray and 1 minute was all that was needed for me to grab the rollerball and buy it! I WILL be getting a bottle of this stuff, it is perfect! It is VLJ light on me, pretty much exactly VLJ but lighter. i like VLJ but it gives me a headache so this stuff is awesome!! Only problem is it's not terribly strong, the sillage is very close to the skin. I also love VLJ Fleur!!
My husband got this for me for Christmas. I like it, it's quite different. Very fruity at the beginning and then caramel after a while. I agree that it does not last, but if I spray a lot on, it seems to stay for a lot longer. I am 30, and this scent is not really what I want to portray. I feel like I should be wearing glitter and going to a club when I wear it. I think it's a nice and playful scent to wear during the day, out with some girlfriends.
i'm surprised at the bad reviews ,i love this its light and airy and doesn't bother my allergies its [pricy but its a keeper for me and i love thge bottle.
Very disappointed by this one. When I first smelled it, I was out to pick up more "Couture Couture." When I saw that CC wasn't there, I opted to come back for the VLJ Noir because I thought it was the closest thing. At first it smelled like a toned down version of "Couture Couture" to me.
When I came back for the VLJ Noir I sprayed it on my wrists and neck. The first thing I thought was "Cotton candy. This is cotton candy." When I got into the car I asked my boyfriend to smell the scent and he said the exact same thing, without me telling him.
I find this fragrance to be either very over powering or very limited. Too much of something, or missing that key note that would make it right. I am a caramel lover but I find that this fragrance is either too heavy on the caramel (over whelming.) Or UNDERwhelming...Like a disappointing bouquet of Cotton candy, berries, and potpourri which lacks distinguishable notes or complexity. Mainly just cotton candy and potpourri. But not a good cotton candy (see Britney Spears "Curious").
I agree with fragantica that those who like Britney Spears Fantasy would enjoy this. Same fragrance, except Fantasy is better.
Quite a shame because it has a lovely bottle and packaging.
It could be worn as a summer night perfume, however its alittle lighter than the Viva La Juicy ,so Idnt get why this one is called Noir. Im not a fan of the original Viva La Juicy. So this one to me is slightly better, something less cloying about it. I have the La Fleur btw and if I wanted to experience a richer version of the same beautiful scent of the Viva La Juicy La Fleur Id go for the Noir, NOT the original.
love it, remiinds me of Electric Youth from the 80's
huh so i wasnt crazy to think i was smelling woody caramel... not nearly as nice as the original sadly; still sugar sweet but this one strikes me as far more synthetic.
this one is better than the original . noir smells more fruity
It almost smells like the original, but it is quite syntheticy and plasticy smelling though.
And not to mention, there is nothing "noir" about it.
My search for a mature-ish fruity fragrance began almost two months ago, and since then, I have sprayed, sprayed and sprayed to my heart's dismay. Too childish... too pungent... too much this... too little that...
Then one day, I saw this very metallic bottle beckon me. One whiff later, I was in love! This is like the big sister of Ralph Lauren Big Pony 2 (My favourite girlie scent). Playful, sweet (but not sickeningly sweet like Pink Sugar). Definitely juicy, ripe berries with a creamy base. So amazing!I bought the 100ml on the spot (which is rare for me, because I have so many perfumes that any addition requires me to scrutinise the scent many times over before I deem it worthy to enter my collection).
The only problem is that it doesn't last very long on the skin. Actually, more like the sillage reduces considerably and it becomes a skin scent very quickly on me (the potency is still there, but only if you whiff hard enough). However, I am not fussed, since I love to re-spray this gorgeous scent anyway.
Oh, and I do own the original Viva La Juicy. I definitely think the Noir version is way better. It doesn't have that strange animalic note that develops on my skin as the scent dries down. The Noir version is glorious berries all the way.
The search is over... for now... this scent is girlie, playful, youthful, and I am not ashamed to wear this, even as a 30 something year old.
I purchased a coffret set consisting of a tiny pair of Viva La Juicy and Viva La Juicy Noir bottles. I also have a 5 ml Juicy Couture sample. In "side by side taste comparisons" of the three over several days, I and my husband rank the Juicy Noir as best, the Couture second, and Viva La Juicy as last. All three are good, though. I agree with other reviewers in that Noir is basically Viva la Juicy with less praline and more berries 'n cream, being sweeter than the Viva la Juicy. The Couture was actually the darker smelling fragrance of the three.
Noir smells so much better than the original Viva la Juicy in my opinion. I really really like it.
I went to Sephora the other day and I noticed there was a new addition to the Viva La Juicy collection, It's probably been out for a good few months, but I haven't been to Sephora in a long while. I honestly really liked this perfume a lot, And I usually don't use Juicy Couture But what I did notice about Viva La Juicy and Viva La Juicy Noir is that there's no dramatic difference with the two. The only "significant" difference in the notes is there's no pralines in the dry notes. But other than that they both smell very nice, they just smell almost exactly the same.
I have to say I actually prefer this to the orignal Viva La Juicy. This smelt beautiful from the very first moment and then settled into a womanly scent.
I have been wanting to get a bottle of Viva La Juicy for a while now, but I think this one might have bumped up the list instead :D
I used Viva La Juicy to the point that both I and everyone in my vicinity got sick of it. Viva La Juicy Noir recently got released in Australia and the first smell sucked me back into the Juicy Couture family for my 42nd bottle of perfume (excl finished ones!)
Firstly, the bottle is typical J.C - Different, cute, pretty and looks AH-MAZING on any perfume shelf.
The scent is nothing short of beautiful. Hints of juicy berries mesmerize you while gardenia and jasmine work in harmony to give you a 'pretty' smell/feeling.
Problem? The scent does not last at all. I wanted this perfume to be perfect so badly but after an hour, you can't smell anything unless you are sniffing your wrist closely... my boyfriend thought I wasn't wearing anything at all! Such a shame because the initial spray envelopes you in a cloud of pleasures.. My recommendation is stick to the original unless you like re-applying every hour.
This is so yummy and the vanilla/caramel really shows up with my chemistry! I don't own any of the other Juicy fragrances, so I figured this pretty hot pink bottle should be the first! LOVE IT!
Currently one of my most wearable scents.
Yes, it does smell a bit like original Juicy Couture, but I personally prefer this one - maybe the berries does it.It's definitely not "noir" scent, which is a shame, because I need a good evening fragrance.
Opening is all berries and fruits, I get cranberries and raspberries. Later it mellows down, and the drydown is absolutely delicious caramel-vanilla.
Lasting power is quite weak, and sillage really is moderate, but I never expected something super high-quality from Viva La Juicy.
The bottle is very cute, but the diamond on the top bugged me (tacky!), so I ripped it off and my 30ml bottle now is very elegant and looks great on my night table. :D I did the same with my Couture La La fragrance, and even ripped off its ridiculous pink ribbon with beads. Now both of my bottles look more expensive and elegant! :D
Smells just like Viva La Juicy but in a pink bottle!
My favourite Juicy Couture fragrance.
At first splash, it's a cool mixed drink.......cranberry vodka. Then, it settles into something deeply sweet that would be easy to lap up.
The sexiness, to me, of this fragrance is its positively GOURMAND attributes. Ripe, swollen berries (cranberry to be precise), sweet, silky caramel-- enticing.
The unacceptably short-lived dry-down (which, IMO, is this perfume's only weakness) bridges Viva La & Viva Noir.
I wear Viva La Juicy Noir with Viva La Juicy as a base to help with Noir's premature evaporation issues ;}
The only thing noir about this one is the black bow! And I think the metallic bottle is a wee bit tacky ,would have loved a hot pink glass bottle more and the smell is just the same . Yaawwn
This fragrance is more "berry" than the original Viva la Juicy but it is similar in a way. I like the berry notes and think it worth trying it ! The bottle is as cute as the original with fuschia body and black bow, great item on your shelves, bathroom or bedroom !
This is not what I was expecting from a "noir" fragrance. It does have a much more pronounced berry presence, but it's a far cry from an evening scent. Incredibly similar to the original and not something I feel needs to be added to my collection as I already have Viva La Juicy. I think you could get away with owning either one or the other, the original if you prefer sweet, gourmands and Noir if you are a berry fan
you know i started out in love with this but as i moved on to different fragrance houses ive fallen out with this one. its fun and nice but not unique enough for me to really love. i will be returning this.
This smells EXCATLY like the original Viva La Juicy. I own the original one and I tried this today and was very very dissapointed. They just changed the bottle!? I even sprayed the orginal one next to the noir on and I couldn't tell which one was which.
I agree with everyone who says there's nothing "noir" about this fragrance. If you take out a good amount of sweetness from the original VLJ and add a bunch of berries, you get this. It definitely smells good, but I love the praline note in the original VLJ...so I won't be purchasing this despite how excited I was when I first learned about it.
I don't find this to be particularly "noir". This does resemble Viva la Juicy. But what also strikes me that it bears more than a passing resemblence to Pink Chiffon by BBW(which I own).
Sweet, fruity with some vanilla-that pretty much summs it up(and original was heavier on caramel and not as fruity). If you love the original, you will like this one, I am sure. Smells nice but I was kind of meh. Nothing unique
It's a bit of a shame, because I fell in love with this one at first spray. It opens with deliciously intense, mouth-watering berries but, in practice, that fragrance doesn't last. As many others have said, Viva La Juicy Noir just isn't that different to the original Viva La Juicy. The dry down is a similar caramel-meets-vanilla with maybe a fraction more depth to the scent when the two are compared side by side, but it's a tiny difference that doesn't make Noir stand out from its predecessor.
On paper, the dried down fragrance lasts several hours without any trouble. I did find that it seemed to disappear a bit faster on the skin, and the sillage when worn was moderate at best.
If you've already got the original, I'd say this isn't really worth the money. If you're torn between the two, I think this is the better investment... if only for that burst of berry at the start and the far prettier bottle!
I like this one better than the Original Juicy, however the staying power absolutely SUCKS! I love the caramel drydown (as I prefer darker/ sweeter scents versus florals), just wished it had better staying power on my skin.
Since I sampled Juicy Noir in Macy's I've been stuck on it for days! The opening is similar to Viva La Juicy but different in a way which Noir has a longer lasting power & highlights its sister's original notes. The packaging is just as gorgeous as the smell. I'm a sweet frag fanatic, smelling Noir beats my sugar cravings!
smells similar to the original viva la juicy with the exception that there are more fruity berries than candies. At least this newer one doesn't give me a throbbing head ache like the original VLJ. original VLJ has more of a candied caramel sweetness. I don't love this scent , nor do I hate it. It reminds me so much of Victoria's Secrets Fragrances especially Dark Orchid perfume. When I first sampled this fragrant, my initial reaction was "....wow....nice..". But I wasn't flopping around in ecstasy with a crying out yearning ..."I must get this !..". It's not a bad scent. It's just that it smells like many perfumes that are already out there on the market, especially celebrity perfumes from Britney's Midnight Fantasy , Katey's Purr, to Mr. Beiber's Girl Friend perfumes. They all smell nice, but not too memorable. I still recommend it since it is nice smelling and non offensive. VLJ Noir has an amazing presence with it's gorgeous deep reddish burgundy contasting blackness bottle. I think many will love this scent.
All I can say is berry kissed, sexy and ultimately juicy! The pink bottle and black
ribbon is like an expensive lingerie box begging to be opened!
I adore the bottle, but to me this smells exactly like the original! The only difference is that thia one fades sooo quickly
Pretty scent. Even prettier bottle. I really wanted to love this for that bottle alone, but like a few earlier reviewers, I really don't feel like the quick-fading fragrance is worth $90.
عطر نسائي رائع ..
Smells like the original Viva la Juicy. Nothing noire here!
I wasn't excited about trying this until I got a bottle of Eau de Couture in a swap, and it inspired me to give Juicy Couture scents another chance. I figured I'd try this one, since I've had a couple of good experiences with "noir" fragrances lately. Well...that didn't go as planned. I'm not impressed at all with it. It has a very synthetic berry-and-caramel thing that just doesn't work. The sweet, sugary berry thing wasn't going to work on me anyway, but the fact that it has such a strong artificial, chemical smell is what takes it from "meh" to "Oh. NO. not happening" on me.
I got a sample in the mail. It's a little more amped up than the original, but not unique. Maybe 'Noir' for a teenager, but I'll pass. People will spot the pink and black and go right for it, though. So that was good marketing.
Just picked up a bottle of JC Noir to replace a bottle of Marc Jacobs that did not mesh with my chemistry. I love this one, more so than the other JC fragrances and I own two others. Noir is a more dark scent that has a sweeter candy scent than its other JC sisters. It reminds me of dark candied berries and grapes, if that makes sense. Definitely the sweetest of all JC scents. I love it. Lasts a decent amount of time, about half of my day. Its a deep, dark sweet fragrance that works very well at night.
Ok so all we're getting out of Noir here is a better looking bottle...well to me I like this one better, when I tested this out I was not blown away, sorry for saying this, I said wow this smells exactly the same as the original...yeah it's nice && I like it but it's only b/c I already like the original...yeah it's slightly diff it has more of a berry tone to it with the undertone of the original which just when you smell the berries the original quickly takes over again...so It's really more of the same to me, If you're deciding b/t this or orig. it really doesn't matter...If you want more fruit then praline && a prettier bottle then I say go for this...it is really nice still...I was just hoping for more Noir...give it a try. :)
Overall: 7/10
Yes Noir is similar to the original in style and drydown, fitting for a flanker, but I disagree you shouldn't own both. I prefer Noirs berry laden opening and have been wearing it often. I enjoy, but rarely wear, the original. And yes the bottle is pretty nice as well. Definitely don't blow this one off before you try it.
Noir is much fruiter than the original, but is too similar as far as the other notes go to purchase a bottle. I get berries in this but the undertones smell the same as Viva La Juicy. Maybe If the middle and bottom notes didn't remind me of the original, I'd want to purchase this, but like La Fleur, it's the same scent with a tiny difference.
i had some left over gift cards from nordys...so picked this fruity version of the original viva la juicy....on my skin this has that punch..compare to the original..so i have both..well what i did was spray both versions on together...make a viva la juicy twist..that lasts all day...mix them yall!
this is the best juicy couture fragrance for me by far. it smells like some kind of popsicle I love it! the bottle is amazing too!
It starts off more oriental, which is great, but it goes to a sweeter drydown like the original...so is it really that different? No, if you already have the original, this isn't really worth it!?
It is the best of the 3, but the differences are minimal, I wish the soft oriental edge from the top notes would have developed further, instead it gets drowned in overdone sweetness...
But it is a real caramel sweet scent, it smells good in that way..
Very berry. Juicy. Light. Sweet. Playful. Flirty.
This really isn't dark in any sense, quite the opposite it's bright and light! Lots of berries which are juicy and inviting. It does get creamier with the caramel notes but not as creamy as the original. It stays very berry through-out. I thought this would be great for summer but the lasting power and sillage is quite poor so I'm not sure if it would be worth purchasing but I definitely enjoy the scent.
It's not unique in any sense just a berry vanilla, but who can resist one of those? :P
I just received this as a Canada day gift!! :O I LOVE it!!
It is very similar to viva la juicy.
This is the way I think they are :
Viva La juicy - original scent. Amazing & sweet
Viva La juicy La fleur- same as original with a hint of flowers. Very nice scent
Viva la juicy Noir- Same as original, with a fruity twist!! love this one.
Out of the 3 I would say this is my fav!!! The bottle is beautiful, as are they other 2. Huge Viva la juicy fan!!
Updated review-Just received this today and it is what I expected.I kind of told myself not to order this but I was hoping it would be richer and longer wearing and have stronger berry notes.IT DOES NOT.I don't know what's wrong with these companies.I sprayed this on and it immediately went to soft and I mean soft caramel dry down.Yes it smells nice but this is not worth the money.Now if your a juicy collector by all means you'll want this but as far as the scent goes you'll get caramel and sandalwood and that's pretty much it.This is getting returned as its just not worth 95.00$ to me.Had this been stronger with more floral notes and more fruity notes I would keep this.This stays very close to the skin and I put 4 squirts on 1 wrist.The original is more vibrant and much better in my opinion.The only thing going for this scent is the bottle.It is for pink lovers and is very elegant and gorgeous but I will not keep a fragrance for its bottle.This is more of a young girls fragrance so this is a big NO for me!
I rec'd my bottle from JC's website a few days ago...I haven't tested it yet for longevity but will this week. I can definitely smell the berries along with the familiar notes of the regular Viva La Juicy. I love it and the bottle is DIVINE - just wish it had a charm on it like the other bottles.
Waiting for this in the mail I will review as soon as I receive it.I love the smell of berries.I wanted the original to have more of a fruity berry smell so hopefully this will have what I'm looking for.Check back for my review!
Very sweet and not different enough from the original to merit the purchase. VLJ hard core fans will love it and the neon pink bottle is quite eye catching!
I agree with the person below.. it is basically the original amped up with fruits!.. I get almost a grape smell.. like juicy meets couture couture... at least on my skin.. I already own the original BUT I will finish that one first then purchase this to replace it :-)
Absolutely LOVE the bottle though, in person its a metallic pink.. gorgeous!
I finally got to try this at the Juicy Couture store! I was so excited when. I saw it because I didn't expect it to be out yet, but this perfume, ugh... This perfume is basically a copy of the original, with a fruitier top.
The start of this perfume is MUCH more fruitier than the original. It's basically the same scent but add a bucket full of berries and sweet fruits.
Now lets talk about the "Noir". Nothing about this perfume is "noir" it's not sour, dark, or anything like that. It's just very sweet, fruity, & "juicy" compared to the original.
The original is definely a lot creamier due to the white creamy florals and the caramel. This one is focused on the fruits.
So if you liked the fruity aspect of VLJ, I would definely recommend this one. Don't get me wrong, I love this "new" fragrance, but it's not very new.
Amazed that I got to try this at Nordstrom today! My good friend had a lab tester of it and, bottom line, NOTHING NOIR about Viva Noir, IMHO. It is just a MUCH more FRUITY top, with a big dose of strawberry. The mid and base notes smell just like the original. That being said, what with my juvenile taste in fragrances, I ♥ it! Greatly! I can't believe I have to wait till July to own a beautiful bottle! What's a month? FOREVER in my mind! Haha! : )

ABC Radio this morning broadcast the voice of a "Pentagon official" who explained that the maniac who murdered all those people at the Washington Navy Yard was not able to just walk in with a shotgun and begin blasting away because of the government's asinine gun-free-zone-on-military-bases policy, or its grotesquely inept "security" policies, but because of "budget cuts."

Brad Pitt believes there's a little Tom Selleck in everyone. Using his upper-lip to make a point, Pitt wants to ad credibility to moustaches everywhere.
"That's my goal," the actor, 44, told Extra at the Monday screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in New Orleans. "I don't think 'staches are respected enough."
Brad's buddy George Clooney is also sporting a 'stache. I can already see a big screen movie adaptation of their bromance:
Pitt also thinks that a moustache is a "political statement". Hey, Hitler sure thought so.
At least Brad's moustache doesn't look as bad as Twilight star Robert Pattinson's! Rob looks like he has black licorice coming out of his nose!
