Not a Perfume

Coconut, monoi and white flowers by the pool
Lust for Sun by Juliette Has a Gun is an Eau de Parfum from 2023, created by Romano Ricci as a summer scene by the swimming pool. Coconut and monoi sit over white flowers such as gardenia, orange blossom and ylang-ylang, while bergamot and freesia brighten the top and ambroxan, musks and vanilla round it off. Coconut perfumes divide people, so a 10 ml decant is the cautious way in.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening mixes bright bergamot and freesia with coconut, which arrives early. Rather than a cooling citrus start, the first minute already feels sun-warmed and slightly creamy. If you dislike coconut, you will know within these first few minutes.
In the heart, gardenia, orange blossom and ylang-ylang meet monoi, a Tahitian-style floral oil with a tropical, buttery feel. The flowers are lush rather than delicate. This is the stage that makes it summery, and the part that sits well on warm skin.
The base is smooth and slightly sweet: ambroxan adds a clean, salty-airy glow, the musks a soft skin layer and vanilla a mild sweetness. The brand notes high volume for this perfume, so the finish tends to stay noticeable on clothes and in a room.
Testing it
Wear it on a warm day, one spray first, and see how the coconut and flowers evolve in the heat. Then try it in cooler air to see whether it still works. As the brand describes high volume, apply lightly and give it time before deciding whether to add more.
It is listed as unisex and described as solar and floral. It suits anyone who wants a holiday mood in a bottle: sunscreen-like coconut, white flowers and a sweet musk. If you favour dry, woody or green perfumes, treat this as an adventurous choice.
Coconut and white flowers are two of the notes people react to most strongly, and together they can feel either like a beach or like an overdose. With a strong projection, mistakes in a full bottle are noticeable. A decant filled from the original bottle lets you test it before 100 ml.

A 10 ml decant of Lust for Sun, 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.
Coconut and vanilla bring sweetness, but gardenia and ylang-ylang make it floral and the ambroxan adds a clean edge. The balance between them is something to judge on your own skin.
Its mood is summer, as the brand makes clear. Spring and warm days suit it, and in winter it can feel like a holiday memory. Try it when the weather matches.
Romano Ricci, the founder of Juliette Has a Gun. He imagined it as a playground for Juliette in a bold summer, with the pool as the setting.
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
