Vanilla with a pinch of sea salt
Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes sets two opposites in one Eau de Parfum: natural vanilla absolute and sea salt, over a base of musk. The brand ties it to desert adventure and freedom. Vanilla is the note people judge most personally, and the salt twist makes it harder to predict, so a decant is a good way to meet it.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Salt comes first, which is unusual for a perfume built on vanilla. It brings a mineral, dry edge that recalls skin after a swim more than a sweet opening. The sweetness is held back for the moment, so the first minutes feel clean and airy.
The heart is natural vanilla absolute, and with the salt still in the air it reads as a warm, soft glow rather than a dessert. Here the two opposites sit together, sugary next to mineral, and you will soon know whether the idea appeals.
The base is musk, soft and clean and hugging the skin, a smooth bed for the vanilla to settle on. The brand calls the scent sensual and free-spirited, and the musk is what keeps the overall impression rounded rather than sharp.
Testing it
Wear the decant on skin that is not covered by clothing, such as the inside of the wrists, and use a moderate amount. Try it on a warm day to see how the salt behaves with heat, and again on a cool evening to see whether the vanilla becomes more cosy. Compare both impressions.
This sample is for people who like vanilla but find it too sweet on its own, because the salt gives it air. It also suits those who enjoy a gourmand with a fresher face and want to be noticed gently. The brand lists it among its relaxed, social, outdoor-friendly moods.
Vanilla and sea salt is an uncommon pairing, and no written description can say how much mineral or how much sweet you will actually smell. FragranceGems fills the 10 ml decant from the original bottle, and we label it. It is not a brand sample, and the house is not involved.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.

The vanilla is real, but sea salt turns the sweetness mineral and airy, so it should not feel like dessert. How sweet it seems depends on your skin, which a sample shows.
Yes. We fill a 10 ml glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it. It is a decant and not a Juliette Has a Gun sample, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
The brand places it between gourmand and fresh, with a sensual, free-spirited character. The pyramid is short: sea salt, natural vanilla absolute and musk.
It can be both: salt feels welcome in warm weather, vanilla in cooler weather. Trying the sample in both conditions shows which side you notice more.
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
