Juliette Has a Gun
🔹 Juliette Has a Gun – Modern Romance Reloaded in Perfume Form
Juliette Has a Gun is not just a perfume brand—it’s a statement. Founded in 2006 by Romano Ricci, great-grandson of legendary designer Nina Ricci, the house is a modern fragrance rebellion rooted in classic perfumery but laced with bold, punk-inspired attitude. The brand name itself—Juliette Has a Gun—is both provocative and poetic, referencing Shakespeare’s Juliet armed with a metaphorical weapon: perfume as empowerment.
Blending tradition with provocation, the brand crafts unisex, minimalist, and sometimes molecule-based scents, all with a strong narrative edge. These are not fragrances for the passive or predictable—they’re tools of seduction, defense, and identity.
🔫 Perfume as a Weapon of Seduction
Juliette Has a Gun was built on the concept that perfume can be armor. Whether used to allure, to express, or to protect, the scents are about control, choice, and fierce femininity. Each fragrance plays with themes of femininity, power, and rebellion, inviting the wearer to break conventions and embrace both vulnerability and strength.
The bottles are minimalist—usually solid colors with bold metallic logos, allowing the fragrance itself to be the drama.
🌫️ Not a Perfume (2010) – The Game Changer
Perhaps the most famous scent in the collection, Not a Perfume is a radical concept. It’s made with only one ingredient: Cetalox, a synthetic molecule derived from ambergris. Clean, allergen-free, and totally unique, it smells like skin—but better.
Note: Cetalox (ambergris-like musk)
It’s subtle, musky, mineral, and surprisingly long-lasting. Not a Perfume is loved by those who:
Prefer clean, minimalist, or hypoallergenic fragrances.
Like scents that smell differently on each person.
Want a "non-perfume" scent that is both mysterious and intimate.
It has developed a cult following and is ideal for layering or everyday wear. It has also been extended into Not a Perfume Superdose—a more intense, amped-up version for more projection.
🌹 Lady Vengeance – Dark Florals and Bold Seduction
A true modern classic, Lady Vengeance is a perfume for those who embrace drama and allure. It blends Bulgarian rose, patchouli, and vanilla in a bold, sensual, and empowering fragrance.
Top Note: Lavender
Heart Note: Bulgarian Rose
Base Note: Patchouli, vanilla, musk
It’s rich, long-lasting, and deeply feminine—but not in a soft way. This is rose with a leather jacket. It seduces without apology and wears beautifully in cooler months or evening settings.
🕊️ Anyway – Casual, Clean, and Unisex
In contrast to its darker siblings, Anyway is fresh, light, and minimalist—a molecular citrus-floral that works on just about anyone.

It’s a crisp, clean-skin scent, ideal for warm weather or those who prefer uncomplicated yet elegant perfumes. It’s also perfect for office wear or fragrance layering.
💣 Mmmm… – Gourmand Fantasy

Top Notes: Raspberry, neroli
Heart Notes: Tuberose, jasmine
Base Notes: Vanilla, musk, sandalwood
Ideal for colder seasons and romantic occasions, this scent feels like a flirtatious whisper—soft, warm, and edible.
🔥 Vanilla Vibes – Sea Salt Meets Sweetness

Top Note: Sea salt
Heart Note: Natural vanilla
Base Notes: Tonka bean, sandalwood, benzoin
It’s perfect for people who find traditional vanilla scents too cloying. Vanilla Vibes is sophisticated, breezy, and sensuous, like sun-warmed skin on a beach evening.
