Their fragrance collection offers wearers unique sophistication and style straight from the streets of Paris and approaches perfumery as an art.
10 Best Juliette Has A Gun Perfumes
We’ve curated a list of the best Juliette Has a Gun perfumes to make your next online or in-store fragrance shopping trip that little bit easier.
1. Lipstick Fever Eau de Parfum
Review
One of the newest 2020 fragrances from Juliette Has a Gun, Lipstick Fever Eau de Parfum takes its inspiration from a streak of lipstick: sexy, bold and unapologetically glamorous. It focuses on historical notes in lipstick to create a contemporary composition that’s a gourmand and ultimately feminine.
Lipstick Fever opens with fragrant top notes of violet and sweet raspberry. A stunning heart of iris and patchouli are soon revealed and bloom triumphantly. Upon dry-down, vanilla and cedar filter through nicely resulting in a beautiful fruity floral fragrance with a sensual base.
It’s average in terms of longevity – lasting around 4 hours – with a soft, subtle sillage that dances on the air gently. It’s not a fragrance that lingers too strongly.
Lipstick Fever Eau de Parfum is an ideal spring perfume, with its light fruitiness. Despite this, it’s still versatile and can be worn in daytime or evening equally as well.
The bottle is presented in a way that’s reminiscent of lipstick, without being a pastiche. It’s bold, red and encapsulates the name and fragrance within.
Top Notes:
Violet, Raspberry
Mid Notes:
Iris, Patchouli
Base Notes:
Vanilla, Cedar

2. Mad Madame Eau de Parfum
Review
Mad Madame Eau de parfum is a green chypre feminine fragrance that’s explosive, floral and woody. It’s definitely bold and won’t go unnoticed.
Mad Madame begins with a grand opening of soft rose and juicy blackcurrant. A beating heart of floral and green emerge, featuring peony, patchouli, tuberose, and a touch of jasmine. Upon dry-down, white musk and vanilla provide a sensual base. The star of the show has to be the animalic scent of castoreum, which adds a deep sensual vibe.
Mad Madame Eau de Parfum is a long-lasting scent with a moderate to heavy sillage – it’s not for those who don’t want to be command attention! The slight heaviness of the scent lends itself more to autumn and winter, despite the floral flow, and evening-wear rather than spring or summer days.
It’s another distinctly glamorous bottle from Juliette Has a Gun; bright red with overlaid blackthorn damask pattern and black writing.
Top Notes:
Rose, Amber, Black Currant, Freesia
Mid Notes:
Peony, Patchouli, Tuberose, Moss, Jasmine
Base Notes:
White Musk, Tolu Balsam, Vanilla Absolute, Castoreum

3. Vanilla Vibes Eau de Parfum
Review
Vanilla Vibes Eau de Parfum fuses two different scents together, creating an atmospheric, elegant fragrance. It expresses sensuality, power and free femininity. It’s inspired by adventure and freedom and is best described as ‘oriental’, though that doesn’t tell the full story.
Opening with surprisingly salty top notes that are soon followed by attention-grabbing sweet vanilla and lush orchid in the heart. Base notes of sandalwood, creamy tonka bean, sensual musk and resinous benzoin develop during dry-down, culminating into a sophisticated and elegant feminine fragrance.
It’s definitely a summer daytime fragrance that invokes beachiness and summer days. Vanilla Vibes has a moderate sillage and longevity, which again makes it more suited to warmer months. The packaging is light, airy and definitely inspired by the beach, with a gold and blue bottle reminiscent of the sea and the sky.
Top Notes:
Salt
Mid Notes:
Vanilla Absolute, Orchid
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Musk, Benzoin

4. Moscow Mule Eau de Parfum
Review
Moscow Mule Eau de Parfum is a sunny, fruity fragrance with a hint of spice. It has a warm olfactory trail with underlying woodiness and sweetness. Juliette Has a Gun describe it as ‘dangerous and unforgettable’, as well as being inspired by the Moscow Mule cocktail.
Don’t worry though, it doesn’t smell like a smokey winebar!
The opening begins with the citrus zing of bergamot, lemon and lime. These soon relax to allow heart notes of ginger, apple and the jasmine-clone of hedione, to add both sweetness and spice. Upon dry-down, woody notes combine with musk to create a sassy feminine fragrance.
The fragrance has more of a daytime, summer feel to it. This is further confirmed by its soft sillage and relatively short longevity. It’s far more subtle than some of the other fragrances by Juliette Has a Gun.
Moscow Mule’s packaging is fresh and light too. It consists of transparent and white glass with gold metallic accents and lettering.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Lemon, Lime
Mid Notes:
Ginger, Apple, Hedione
Base Notes:
Woody Notes, Amberwood, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), White Musk

5. MMMM…Eau de Parfum
Review
Juliette Has a Gun describes MMMM… Eau de Parfum as an ‘olfactive sweetness that regales the senses and provokes immediate pleasure’. We definitely agree that it’s a sweet and fruity fragrance that’s fun and feminine.
MMMM… opens with top notes of soft neroli, geranium and a blast of sweet raspberry. The heart of this fragrance is similarly sweet and fruity, with orange blossom, tuberose and iris being most prominent. A base of caramel sandalwood, vanilla and white musk adds a soothing yet provocative vibe.
MMMM… Eau de Parfum is long-lasting on the skin and has a soft to moderate sillage that is not overwhelming or sickly sweet. It’s more of an autumn/winter fragrance and probably suited for daytime wear because of its slight sugariness.
The packaging is a raspberry pink with an overlaid floral design. It’s really feminine and unmistakeably on brand for Juliette Has a Gun.
Top Notes:
Neroli, Geranium, Raspberry
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Jasmine Sambac, Iris
Base Notes:
Caramel, Heliotrope, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, White Musk

6. Lady Vengeance Eau de Parfum
Review
As you’d probably expect from an Eau de Parfum called Lady Vengeance, this is a powerful, dramatic and seductive perfume that’s also feminine, confident and sensual.
Opens with crisp bergamot that provides subtle freshness combined with bright lavender. Soon a floral heart of roses and geranium bloom to mingle with earthy patchouli for a sensually charged vibe. Dry-down reveals vanilla and white musk with a hint of ambroxan to produce a sweet, woody, cedar-like scent gives a gentle warmth. Delightful.
Lady Vengeance Eau de Parfum is a fragrance which lasts relatively well – usually well over 4 hours – and has a moderate to heavy sillage. It’s a great one to wear to get noticed and great for autumn/winter wear. It’s probably best suited to evenings, but you could get away with it during the day too.
Its packaging is matte black with slightly shiny floral overlay, and the bottle shape is distinctively apparent as a Juliette Has a Gun fragrance.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Lavender
Mid Notes:
Bulgarian Rose, Moroccan Rose, Iso E Super, Patchouli, Geranium
Base Notes:
Ambroxan, Vanilla, White Musk

7. Vengeance Extreme Eau de parfum
Review
Vengeance Extrême Eau de Parfum is an intense and provocative chypre scent that radiates sensuality. It’s a follow up flanker to Lady Vengeance.
A bright opening of bergamot and lavender swiftly combine with sensual rose and intoxicatingly dark patchouli – similar to Lady Vengeance. Drying down to spiced vanilla, white musk, creamy tonka bean and sweet labdanum with touches of ambroxan creates drama with a bit of daring thrown in for good measure.
Vengeance Extrême is a dramatic feminine fragrance that’s perfectly suited to autumn and winter wear. It’s decadent and long-lasting, with a moderate to heavy sillage.
The bottle works perfectly with the fragrance, again combining a matt black glass bottle with shiny floral overlay but with the addition of red text. The colour combination alone invokes drama and naughtiness, which is exactly what this fragrance professes itself to be.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Lavender
Mid Notes:
Bulgarian Rose, Patchouli
Base Notes:
Ambroxan, Vanilla, White Musk, Tonka Bean, Labdanum

8. Another Oud Eau de Parfum
Review
Another Oud Eau de Parfum is an oriental woody fragrance that displays modernity, exuberance and grandeur. It’s a lush and opulent scent that’s really rich with glamour. It’s also a sequel to the other famous Juliette Has a Gun fragrance, Midnight Oud.
The opening of Another Oud Eau de Parfum begins with top notes of bergamot and sweet raspberry, swiftly met by a heart of sweet, warming woody oud. A charming dry-down expresses base notes of musk and the slight tobacco scent of ambroxan. It’s a heady mix that isn’t too heavy or overwhelming and will undoubtedly turn heads.
This fragrance lends itself better to autumn and winter wear, with its sultry profile making it perfect to wear in the evening. It’s a long-lasting fragrance with a moderate sillage that will last well into the night. The bottle is matte white with a shiny floral overlay and gold accents on the lid and on the bottle branding.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Raspberry
Mid Notes:
Agarwood (Oud)
Base Notes:
Musk, Ambroxan

9. Sunny Side Up Eau de Parfum
Review
This delightful fragrance is called Sunny Side Up for a reason – it’s a luminous sandalwood composition with a woody, creamy trail that expresses lightness, warmth and positivity.
The top notes of woody amyris, sweet jasmine and delicious vanilla absolute create a sensual feminine opening. Heart notes of sandalwood, orris root, jasmine and coconut milk add depth. Dry-down introduces the musky scent of ambrette fused with Iso E Super, which adds a pleasant woodiness to the scent. Overall, a light and fresh sandalwood/coconut combo.
Sunny Side Up Eau de Parfum is another long-lasting fragrance with moderate sillage and is the right choice if you want a perfume with more staying power. It’s a scent that works best from summer until autumn and definitely lends itself to daytime wear.
The bottle is relatively minimalist, with a white glass outer and bright yellow cap. The lettering is black with yellow accents, reflecting the sunny name and nature of the fragrance contained within.
Top Notes:
Amyris, Jasmine, Vanilla Absolute
Mid Notes:
Sandalwood, Orris Root, Jasmine, Coconut Milk
Base Notes:
Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Iso E Super

10. Citizen Queen Eau de Parfum
Review
Citizen Queen Eau de Parfum is an aldehydic chypre with an edge. It combines classic perfumery with modern scent to create a fascinating and mysterious fragrance that intrigues.
A grand opening of soft leather, crisp bergamot and refreshing aldehydes soon melt into a fanfare of lush, sweet florals. Iris, tuberose and orange blossom bloom beautifully to create a graceful heart. Dry-down is an intriguing musky/powdery combination of ambroxan, labdanum and creamy vanilla. Overall a luxurious powdery fusion of iris and leather.
Another fall/winter suited fragrance from Juliette Has a Gun but is more versatile than some others and can easily be worn from day till night. It’s long-lasting with moderate to heavy sillage so isn’t for the faint-hearted.
Citizen Queen comes in a regal, reflective silver bottle that’s distinctly on-brand with the contrasting floral overlay and matching lid that so familiar with Juliette Has a Gun.
Top Notes:
Leather, Bergamot, Aldehydes
Mid Notes:
Iris, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Immortelle, Rose
Base Notes:
Ambroxan, Labdanum, Vanilla, French Labdanum Resins, Musk, Powdery Notes
