Juliette Has a Gun samples

Juliette Has a Gun imagines Shakespeare's Juliet in the twenty-first century, armed, with perfume as her weapon. Romano Ricci created the Paris house and steers it as artistic director, and he writes his formulas short: often one note per level, in one case a single ingredient from top to base. Perfumes this minimal behave differently on every skin, so a 10 ml decant worn for a few days tells you more than any description.

About Juliette Has a Gun

Start here: four Juliette Has a Gun samples

Not a Perfume is the house's bestseller by its own account: cetalox and nothing else, a clean woody, musky, ambery skin scent. Vanilla Vibes crosses natural vanilla absolute with sea salt over musk, so the sweetness turns mineral. Mmmm... is the gourmand floral, neroli and orange blossom absolute on patchouli. Pear Inc. is the fruity musk: green pear, ambroxan and musks.

From clean skin to milkshake

The quiet side continues with Musc Invisible, jasmine absolute, cotton flower and white musk, and Ode to Dullness, where badiane and freesia meet cashmere flower, sandalwood and tonka bean. The louder side: Miami Shake stacks wild strawberry on whipped cream, an ice cream cone note and vanilla absolute, Lust for Sun veils gardenia, ylang ylang and orange blossom in monoi and coconut. Lady Vengeance is the rose, between lavender and vanilla.

Juliet, armed

By the brand's account it was born in France, between Paris and Grasse; its creator Romano Ricci is a great-grandson of Nina Ricci. The gun in the name is a metaphor: perfume as a weapon of seduction. Not a Perfume Superdose repeats the single-ingredient idea at a concentration of 20%. Our decants are filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us; they are not official brand samples, and we are not affiliated with the brand.

Frequently asked

Which Juliette Has a Gun sample should I try first?

Not a Perfume, because it is the idea the house is known for and it comes across differently on everyone. Add Vanilla Vibes if you like sweet with salt, or Pear Inc. for a fresh fruity musk. Mmmm... is the one to pick if you want a gourmand.

What is the difference between Not a Perfume and Not a Perfume Superdose?

Both are built on cetalox alone. Not a Perfume is the original Eau de Parfum; Superdose is the intense take, with a concentration of 20% that the brand compares to the power of an essence. Wear one on each wrist and you will know which volume suits you.

Are Juliette Has a Gun perfumes only for women?

No. In our data Not a Perfume, Vanilla Vibes, Lust for Sun, Ode to Dullness and Musc Invisible are unisex. Mmmm..., Pear Inc., Lady Vengeance and Miami Shake are filed as women's perfumes, which says more about how they are presented than about who can wear them.

    Rudy Review of the FragranceGems shop
  • Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
