Juliette Has A Gun - Fragrances

Founded in 2006 in Paris by Romano Ricci — heir to a perfume family — Juliette Has A Gun carved out a niche fast. The house became known for clever names, modern takes on classic accords and a tiny revolution: making perfumes that feel both luxe and approachable. Early milestones include the launch of a pared-back, iconoclastic hit that put the brand on perfumery maps. Today it focuses on fragrances plus body and home products that broaden the scent story for lovers and newcomers alike.

House style & materials

Juliette Has A Gun favors clear, modern accords: ambroxan, rose, patchouli, oud, musk and soft vanilla. The blends often balance a bright top with a warm, lingering base so each scent reads like a small story on skin. Bottles are chic and minimalist, usually glass with clean labels that feel editorial and contemporary. Products come in standard eau formats and a range of body complements to extend the fragrance experience.

Skincare & hair

The brand is fragrance-first and offers mainly fragranced body care rather than clinical skincare or dedicated hair lines. Body washes and lotions match perfume themes and aim to layer with the house scents. If you seek active-packed serums or hair treatments, this house isn’t built around those categories.

Audience & occasions

Juliette Has A Gun is for curious scent-lovers who like moods over labels. Many releases read as unisex and suit both daily wear and evening moments. Pick lighter, ambroxan-forward pieces for daytime, and richer roses or ouds for night. The bottles make easy gifts for trend-forward friends who love perfume as fashion.
