Thorny Bulgarian rose with lavender and vanilla
Lady Vengeance is among the first rose perfumes of Juliette Has a Gun, presented as the scent of a confident, thorny and sensual lady. The brand's pyramid is brief: lavender essence, Bulgarian rose absolute, vanilla absolute. Roses with this much character split opinion, so a 10 ml decant is a fair way to find out where you stand.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Lavender essence opens with a clear, aromatic, slightly herbal freshness. It puts a cool, sharp frame around the rose and keeps the first minutes dry. What you notice is composure more than flowers, which suits a perfume that talks about thorns.
Bulgarian rose absolute fills the heart, deep and rich with a faint spice, a rose with weight rather than dew. The brand's idea of a thorny, sensual character lives here. The lavender stays behind it as a cool thread running through the middle.
Vanilla absolute rounds off the base, warm and soft. It takes the edge off the rose without making it sugary and lets the scent end in warmth instead of austerity. After the dry opening and the deep heart, this is the gentlest stage of the perfume.
Testing it
Try it on an evening or a cool day, when the dry lavender edge and the deep rose have room. Use clean skin and a restrained hand, as the brand rates its volume as high. Wear it once to dinner and once in a quieter setting to see how the rose behaves.
People who love rose but prefer it dry, deep and a little severe rather than soft and pink. If lavender and vanilla appeal to you as supporting notes, this rose stands out against them. It suits confident dressers and formal moments, and is listed for women.
The three-step pyramid is simple on paper, but a dry rose with lavender can come across as elegant or as stern depending on skin. A decant gives enough evenings to decide, and then you can meet the house through its roses before choosing the 100 ml bottle.

A 10 ml decant of Lady Vengeance, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Juliette Has a Gun is not involved.
Not especially. Lavender essence gives a dry, aromatic frame, the Bulgarian rose is deep rather than sugary, and vanilla absolute only softens the end.
A single spray may work, but the brand rates the volume as high, so a decant is a good way to test how it fits your workplace before you commit.
An Eau de Parfum. At that strength the rose keeps its depth and the lavender its clarity, and a 10 ml decant gives many wearings for testing.
The brand
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.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
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.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
