Summer Perfume Spotlight: Juliette has a gun
If you’re searching for a summer fragrance, the niche parfumerie Juliette has a gun may have just what you need. The brand’s collection has expanded significantly since it first dazzled the perfume world with its debut in 2006. Explore the most enticing scents below.
Romano Ricci founded Juliette has a gun to “challenge the highly codified perfume industry,” its site explains. The tongue-in-cheek names (see MMMM…) and distinctive, imaginative scents have certainly done just that. The eponymous “Juliette” is none other than Shakespeare’s tragic heroine, and with the help of Ricci’s imagination, she has been furnished with a symbolic gun. The gun in question is her perfume, a powerful “weapon of seduction.”
The brand is as reputable as it is seductive, boasting cruelty-free and vegan labels in addition to long-lasting wear. It’s refreshing to see a collection so pure in its purpose.
Hailed as the most summery of the brand’s scents is Lust for Sun, delightfully presented in orange-colored glass. One perfume aficionado shared their support online for the floral, coconut-infused fragrance.
Other notes in Lust for Sun include ylang-ylang and monoi, which lend the perfume a certain sweetness. The overall effect is tropical and sun-soaked, ideal for splashing on after a day at the pool. If you’re planning on bringing a sample size along for a day on the water, it would agree with, well, just about anything from Vacation, another brand we’ve got our eyes on this summer.
This isn’t the collection’s only gourmand scent. Another favorite is Vanilla Vibes, which has an undercurrent of saltiness. The vanilla notes envelope the wearer with a warmth that transcends seasonality. Like the brand’s most famous scent, Not a Perfume, this fragrance’s greatest strengths are its purity and simplicity.
Not a Perfume is a one-note wonder, dedicated to bringing the adaptable Cetalox scent to the people. The compound smells a little different on everyone since it interacts with the skin’s natural oils, so it’s best to try it before you buy.
The last perfume we’ll suggest for the season is Sunny Side Up, a cheerfully yellow-capped bottle filled with jasmine, sandalwood, and iris butter goodness. Less overtly feminine than the other fragrances listed here, Sunny Side Up delivers a creamy, woody, and sweet aroma. Its subtlety makes it quite wearable.
While there are countless summer perfumes to sample, these caught our eye. The bottles have a delicious heft, reflecting their high quality. From the first spritz to the last notes lingering on your collar after a long day, Juliette has a gun perfumes are a pleasure to use. Readers can purchase the scents mentioned on the brand’s website. Happy summer and happy spritzing to Juliettes everywhere.
