Ahhh… the famous Pucci fabrics and designs. Colorful graphics, black lines, and a feeling of luxury and life. That’s what I feel when I see his work… of course, you might think something entirely different. And that’s part of the joy of art!
So why am I going on about Pucci and art on Bionic Beauty? Emilio Pucci has a new limited edition fragrance: Vivara Turquoise. It’s fresh, clean, and modern; without being over-powering.
That's one gorgeous bottle!!
The Vivara fragrance breaks down as follows…
Top notes – Galbanum, Calabrian Bergamot, Amaretto
Middle – Sambac Jasmine, Narcissus, Orange Flower
Under – Florentine Iris, Vetiver, Patchouli
And a bit from Pucci about the meanings of Turquoise…
“Rich in symbolism, the Egyptians associated turquoise with every life form in the waters of the Nile. For the first North Americans, the stone was worn as an amulet while for Tibetans, it represents both sky and water. Turquoise is a symbol of success and strength with an exceptional colour that lies between the green of Jupiter and the blue of Venus.”
Pucci’s limited edition Vivara Turquoise can be purchased this summer only at Disney’s Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida.

Love perfume, I just have a hard time finding one that I like on myself.
The bottle is gorgeous! Can’t wait to try the perfume.
Wow I adore this bottle!! Love to try it!! xo
Having a topnote of amaretto and an undernote of patchouli makes me think I’d like this fragrance. I don’t prefer perfumes that are too too flowery. Pretty bottle too!
Hi! I love reading ur reviews and llok forward to ur e-mails every day! They are very informative . wOULD love to try this perfume.
Have a great week
I would love to have this for the gorgeous Pucci design alone!
However, I do love fresh, clean scents and this fragrance sounds
terrific!!!
Thanks for the giveaway! I sure would like to win!
I am looking for a new summer scent so if I win this it would make my life a whole lot easier !!! Saves me all the time shopping from counter to counter at the store.
I have always loved patchouli but some ppl find it a little over powering, this blend sound so nice, thanks!
My DIL loves perfumes. This would be great for her.

Ohhh love new perfumes! And I am going to Disney so I will be checking it out! Thanks
This sounds like a great perfume. I love the middle notes of jasmine and orange flower. I’d love to try this fragrance!
I wear just one fragrance, and have wanted for a long time to find a second one, for when my mood changes. I’d love to try such an exciting new perfume such as this! And I do love the Pucci designs — very cool bottle.
Pucci always has the most fabulous designs. I am sure that this fragrance is just as fabulous as the container.
I would love to try the new fragance from Pucci the bottle is gorgorous and the article was very informative about turquios. I certainly didn’t know the significgancde of turquios before. And since we are not planning a trip to the Epcot Center I really would love to win this Thanks
I have never heard of this brand before? I live in a small town in Indiana and often the latest and greatest doesn’t reach my area, even when I visit a larger town to shop. Anyway, love the colors – green and purple – these were my wedding colors when I got married 20 years ago. I love something light to wear for summer. You may be able to order this from disney on their website??? Sometimes they offer things that they sell in their parks on the web. It’s worth checking out. Thanks for this great offer.
I just posted a link to your contest on my Facebook page… I try to keep my friends abreast on the latest and greatest that I stumble upon online.
This is such a fabulous prize, if I don’t win it it would be nice if one of my friends did.
since I’m not planning a trip to Disney’s Epcot Center I’d love to win and sample this perfume
I have heard of this brand, and I think it would be really nice to try!! I would love to go to Disney World to get it, but I cant right now, so it would be really cool to win it!!!!
This is the first time I hear about Pucci’s perfumes. I would love to try it!!! and by the way I love the design.
Why are they only selling it at Epcot Center? That’s unfair to the rest of us who can’t make it there!
Oh my gosh, what a wonderful gift. This is something I would only dream of having. I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish that I would win this tonight !
Reading the top middle and under notes ….wow! This combination sounds delicious. Can’t wait to smell it in person. Thanks for the chance to win!
When Sephora first had Pucci’s Vivara I was able to smell it in one of their magalog samples, and I fell so in love with everything he has done. I will admit I have passed up purchasing the fragrances mostly because of price, but also because I can’t find them anywhere to try on myself, and my closest Sephora is about three hours away.
I am a bit of a fragrance freak, though, and soon I hope to save enough to add his signature scents (and the bottle art, hello!)
But anyone looking for interesting scents might want to try Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline (my fave!), Vera Wang Princess, Burberry Brit Red, or Amore Amore by Cacharel.
Wow. It looks cool and sounds very interesting, complex and a little exotic.
I will definitely look out for it if I make it out to Epcot this summer.
I am a current user of Pucci Acqua 330, I purchased the the travel spray at Sephora for about $25, it’s wonderful and perfect for spring/summer. I love all the Pucci Fragrance collection. I will be going to Disney’s Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida in August an can’t wait to sample this. If I don’t win, I wonder if Sephora will have Vivara Turquoise soon. I must have these the notes sounds like a creative combo.
Top notes – Galbanum, Calabrian Bergamot, Amaretto
Middle – Sambac Jasmine, Narcissus, Orange Flower
Under – Florentine Iris, Vetiver, Patchouli
I heard of Pucci designs, but never perfume. This scent sounds like an interesting blend and I’m wondering what ingredient stands out the most. I would love to smell this one–even better win it! It’s clean, fresh and modern, but what exactly is it classified as? Floral, woodsy, oriental, etc. Could you explain the difference of these top, middle, and bottom notes in a future article. I know I would love to read that since I’m a perfume fanatic and adore the stuff.
I have a few Pucci knockoff dresses but have never tried a fragrance from them, would love to though!
That is a great fragerance and a great find! I have a hard time getting any perfmes because of allergies, however this one is great for me. I recommend it to all of my friends. Actually one of them showed me this site!
What is everyone elses’ favorite perume?

I have never tried Pucci but i love this bottle it’ s beautiful. I would love to try this fragrance.

Jami
OK, THE TRUTH IS THE SMELL SOUNDS LIKE A BIT OF HEAVEN TO ME, SO I AM READY TO WIN THIS. THE BOTTLE IS WHAT I WOULD KEEP FOREVER……….A COLLECTOR ITEM ……………
I bought some Pucci at Disney World last summer, as soon as I tested it!
I adore Vivara and its quickly becoming my favorite summer scent. I think the bottles are works of art and look wonderful on my dressing table. The giveaway is a great idea, good luck to everyone.
