Juliette Has a Gun is not your typical perfume house name, and that may be the first indication that these scents are anything but ordinary. The company was founded in 2006 by Romano Ricci, great-grandson of renowned fashion designer Nina Ricci, and its name was inspired by the concept of arming and strengthening Shakespeare's ill-fated heroine "Romeo and Juliet," with the gun that is a weapon of temptation, a weapon of liberation, or a weapon of revenge.
Juliette Has a Gun perfumes are a relatively recent addition to the fragrance world, launched in 2006 with two fragrances, Miss Charming and Lady Vengeance. Since then the line has expanded to include Juliette Has a Gun fragrances such as Romantina and Lady Vengeance Extreme. Other bestsellers are Moon Dance, Sunny Side Up and Gentlewoman. Juliette Has a Gun perfume for her is sometimes mysterious, like the aldehydic blend of Citizen Queen, and sometimes sweet, like Mmmm ..., a white flower with raspberry, orange blossom, caramel, and vanilla: Like modern women, Juliette Has a Gun perfumes refuse to be wrapped by labels. Nowhere is this more evident than in Not a Parfume, which consists of a single note: Cetalox, an ambergris-like, clean-smelling fragrance often used in the base of a fragrance blend.
White these fragrances are primarily made for women, those looking for a Juliette's Gun cologne for men can find a few options as some of the company's fragrances work well on either sex. Either way, a simple blend including lime, jasmine, musk and wood, is a popular Juliette Has a Gun cologne for men or women, much like Moscow Mule, which turns heads with bergamot and ginger before pulling you in with applesauce and sandalwood . Oil Fiction is another popular unisex choice, blending oriental tones with saffron and amber.
