Original juicy couture was to sharp for me, viva la juicy was too musky sweet. This really is a blend of the two like other reviews say. Not cloyingly overly sweet, not bam florals in your face. So I'd say if you almost loved original juicy, and almost liked viva, Hollywood would be a safe buy. It isn't long lasting, it opens really nice and fries down creamy and can be skin smelled after that. Holds onto clothes thru the day lightly not offensively. I have the EDT and for a light silage/throw it's actually really nice. I had sworn off EDT's, but I did some thinking and decided it's good to have some soft close scents. I have kids I cuddle and a soft close scent is just right for their little noses, and I have a husband I cuddle too and a soft close scent isn't overwhelming for his nose either.
