Review: Juliette has a Gun: Not a Perfume

This is a soli-note fragrance... and that note is Ambroxan. I like this scent... Ambroxan is a substitute for Ambergris, yes that ambergris that I love!!! Its sweet but deep and musky...I can see why they use it as a substitute. While it has characteristics of Ambergris, the musk and warmth, you can never really compare it to the real thing... Its sweetness is just too floral to be Ambergris... who's sweetness is more.... animalic I suppose... Its interesting and I like it, but not as much as Ambergris.

This just in from Wiki... "It shows aphrodisiac effects on animals."
See for yourself!!!

Review: Juliette has a Gun: Calamity J

This is an interesting scent, a little spicy, a little sweet, and a little airy. You take the scent into your nose, and then it pretty much disappears until you take another breath. Patchouli, brings the spice, so its a sort of woody spice. Its very light though, like you wouldn't guess patchouli as an ingredient. The Amber supplies the warmth in this perfume. I don't smell Iris, but I'm thinking the Musc is the really airy note. Overall, its pleasant, but Calamity just doesn't have enough substance for a girl like me! 6 Stars.

Bois D'Iris and Midnight Oud

Bois D'Iris definitely softens the blow, but plastic win out. Honestly, I'm kind of liking theses two. Bois has a tendency to up and leave mid-sentence and Midnight is just hostile! The plastic is starting to become hushed; this is about five minutes in. Its a little nice with the dryness of the iris, they are the odd pair that actually might have a chance at happiness, as well as everyone around them! Its still artificial, but I think I can wear this!

Citizen Queen and Tiptoeing!!!

These two, Juliette Has a Gun; Citizen Queen and Tiptoeing Through the Chambers of the Moon, smell mouthwatering-ly good together. No surprise there, but Tiptoeing does sort of take over, while Citizen Queen just fades to black. But Citizen Queen seems to add a sort of oudy note, a PLEASANT Oudy note! Unlike the oud in Midnight Oud, this note is like vanilla plastic... new doll plastic. Its kind of wonderful, soft and dry and nostalgic... Maybe the Coconut in Tiptoeing mixed with the Labdanum in Citizen Queen... Idk, but I do recommend this as a try out!

Fragrance: Lady Vengence + Miss Charming

I recently mixed these two scents, and it ended up being AMAZING!!! The rose really intensified!!! The sweetness was dampened and a somewhat smokey musk came into being. I can't wait to try mixing the others, I hope I can 'fix' Midnight Oud.... So at least I can wear it out in public.

Review: Juliette has a Gun: Midnight Oud

(Woman's)(Plastic???!!!) This fragrance is VERY oud-y... on the front it almost smells of burnt rubber... Now I'm getting a little bit of the rose, but it still smells industrial... I get the amber, the incense, but it smells like smog, in Shanghai.... After about three minuets it starts to sweeten and smooth out a little. But then it smells like doll... like new doll out of the box. And there is also something medicinal about it.... It kind of weirds me out in a weird way... Jeeze I can't even describe it... It's kind of like that weird awkward friend.... You like it but a little goes a long way! 5 out of 10(this might change...maybe)

Review: Juliette has a Gun: Citizen Queen

(Woman's)(Amber Incense) I like this one... I'm not in love yet though... Top notes: Amber, Iris, and something like vanilla. Mid Notes: subtle leather... Bottom Notes: Labdanum. But its a very sweet labdanum. Now that's its worn, its kind of grown on me... The sweetness has mellowed to a cognac sort of sweetness... But the Iris gets powdery, which is a little disappointing, I was hoping for a drier Iris. Still, its appealing! 9 out of 10

Review: Juliette has a Gun: Lady Vengeance

(Woman's)(Sweet Incense)Top notes: at first I got a rose, but it suddenly disappeared!!! Then something smokey and soft comes billowing in... But there's also this sweetness... Like sweet apples...or berries.... and then I get the vanilla. This fragrance is soooooo much sweeter than I thought it would be... I was hoping for more musk, leather, deep rose, and smoke, less silk and cashmere... Don't get me wrong, its a great scent, but not what I was really hoping for... 7 out of 10

Review: Juliette has a Gun: Miss Charming

(Woman's)(Rose)Very simple, elegant, and sweet, but in the best way!!! Top Notes: Rose and soft musk, the musk then sweetens and blends amazingly with the rose. This fragrance is so soft and sweet. I love it and I think it would be great as a first date perfume. 10 out of 10!
