About this deal

To give the Fashion Decree away would be idiotic, because it is altogether different from the others and at the very end of the base it tops both of them. Midnight Oud does not know what it wants to be. The initial blast is so overwhelmingly masculine, that I freaked out and rinsed my arm with water. That toned it down a bit, but what was that?! Is that oud??? I've never smelled it before. I don't get the urine bit like other reviewers, but the oud to me smells like something I know but can't really put my finger on...exhaust fumes?...scorched plastic?...burnt popcorn?...it's weird. I'm not a fan. With top notes of damask rose, saffron, papyrus, and bergamot accompanied by middle notes of agarwood (oud), Moroccan rose, castoreum, and geranium. Treading near the base with patchouli, musk, amber, and sandalwood fragrance, fans will find everlasting comfort in achieving that personal signature style women swoon over. Yeah, maybe not for you. But I have an oud-sceptic nose that is adapted to it zero point zero: Oud. It's not too bad. It is not an oud with a bum factor and also not an oud that seems unbearably artificially sharp and harmful to health, but so to speak exactly the kind of not quite oudic oud for oud-sceptics Romano Ricci, the grandson of Nina Ricci, created the niche House Juliette Has a Gun in 2006. The first two scents were Miss Charming and Lady Vengeance. These were rose centered fragrances; Miss Charming was a light and more feminine rose and Lady Vengeance was a darker, more unisex rose. Of the two I regularly wear Lady Vengeance when I’m in the mood for a darker rose fragrance. The most recent release is Midnight Oud which M. Ricci stated in the press materials that he wanted to be a “European version of Oud”.

When Romano Ricci was younger, he rebelled against everything his family stood for, but after the passing of his grandfather in 1988 and the family business being sold in 2000, he returned to his heritage. By 2005 Romano Ricci had his own company and launched his first project in 2006 called ‘ Juliette has a Gun.’ With the help of Francis Kurkdjian, who is one of the best modern perfumers in the perfume world today (he created scents for Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Narciso Rodriguez and Elizabeth Arden), a range of five scents was created for this collection.Juliette Has A Gun Not a Perfume is not perfume but, instead, an ambrox — created by Firmenich and discovered as a perfect non-perfume for modern women to enjoy. Ambrox holds the key ingredient of this enticing concoction; C16 H28 O is its formula. Ambrox replaced grey amber, which was expensive and unavailable on the mass level during its invention. This faux-fragrance will find its way into your life with great success because it smells like no other scent on earth: authentic yet startlingly sensual — just like you deserve! I can still wallow for hours in a slightly smoky intensified Hippie Rose with a touch of Fashion Decree. Oud is the oil made from the resin of the Agarwood tree. It has been a staple of Middle Eastern perfumery for centuries. The best pure oud oils from the region are some of the most expensive and powerful perfume oils to be found. In 2002, Tom Ford in his creation of M7 for Yves St. Laurent brought the note of oud into Western consciousness in a big way. Seven years later, 2009 looks like oud’s coming out party as we have seen a number of different takes on oud throughout this year from Houses big and small. There are six scents with oud in their name which have been released this year. Not to mention the extensive Montale line of ouds, which grows larger every year. Midnight Oud is an oriental fragrance of rose, oud, amber, musk, saffron, geranium and patchouli. Contained within a silver metal cylinder it’s an oriental fragrance blended with Middle Eastern agar wood or Oud which is highly prized and precious and used mainly in Arabic attars or perfume oils. Finally a different twist of his beloved Shakespeare, Romano created Calamity J. This unique scent is the masculine fragrance in the women’s range, a woody melange of musk, iris, patchouli and amber. Housed in a midnight cylinder with flourished writing, this scent is powerful and seductive, masculine yet feminine, perfect for reflecting the strength of women in society.

The oud vanguard becomes softer after only a few minutes and I would now say I smell rather a little incense with typical Juliette Rose patchouli. Juliette has the nerve not to break any rule in the perfume industry by creating a distinctive, unique fragrance. There are no confusing scents or ingredients; it’s all made up of contradictions—comprised only molecules and free of allergens. Let go and be bold with this captivating scent in a small jar. This fragrance is for the sophisticated woman who is playful and full of life. This scent will fill your senses with light, warmth, and charm, a dazzling fusion of warm, spicy, and musky tones. Juliette Has A Gun Sunny Side Up smells like the perfect morning. The sweet, floral, and woody scent will wake you up in the best way while being sweet enough to make your teeth ache with anticipation. Light as air and still grounded in deep sophistication, this scent will have you bouncing out of bed each morning before work or school, feeling perky but not over-indulgent. Knowing that birch tar appears in the pyramid, I now smell that too rather than really oud. It's a bit sweetish and I know this is the rose, the typical Juliette roseThe bold and beautiful scent of a mysterious world of adventures is filled with magnificent and sensual scents. Midnight Oud announces its presence in an elegant yet defiant manner from the first moment. Juliette Has A Gun Vanilla Vibes is the wit and playfulness of a desert sunset in a blue-to-orange glass bottle. This tribute to Californian life feels expensive with its salty edge on the timeless note – which incidentally makes this Eau de Parfum perfect for those who find themselves attracted by luxury fragrances as much as they are vanilla scents. Midnight Oud by Juliette Has A Gun opens up with a distinct, slightly smoky scent of birch tar, softened by the delicate, sweet aroma of rose. As this initial impression fades, the heart of the fragrance emerges, marked by the warm, earthy notes of oud, cedar, and patchouli, tinged with subtle hints of labdanum and papyrus. Here, the Bulgarian rose emerges stronger, contributing a floral sweetness that beautifully counterbalances the woodiness of the central notes. If you’re looking for a fragrance that’s as intimidating, confident, and powerful a woman as she is, then Juliette Has A Gun Citizen Queen has your name written all over it. You will feel empowered and at the top of your game when wearing this scent, created to represent power, elegance, and solidity.

As for the collection, apart from this fragrance, we can expect just one more edition, since it was planned that Juliette Has A Gun series would encompass 5 perfumes. The new fragrance Midnight Oud was inspired by oriental notes, including accords of Moroccan rose, oud, amber, several sorts of musk, saffron, geranium and patchouli oil. Rose is definitely a common symbol of the whole niche line and this time it is combined with special, mystical Oud tact in a wonderful way. Midnight Oud is an artisanal fragrance from Juliette Has a Gun targeted towards consumers seeking an exclusive scent. It has been turning heads since 2009. This long-lasting parfum has considerable sillage since the concentration of essences is very high. Most eau de parfums have between 15-20%. Oud dominants, such as this one, invoke dampened woodand are often softened with fruity-floral accords. For Romantic Hearts Vanilla Vibes opens with mineral-rich fleur de sel, followed by a heart of powdered vanilla and orchid. A sensual base of tonka bean, sandalwood, musk, and benzoin is revealed as the fragrance settles on the skin. When you need to feel romantic but sultry, this fragrance is your perfect companion. Juliette Has A Gun Mmmm…has that decadent, sweet, and innocent smell that are the ultimate aphrodisiacs. The creamy magnetic base will leave you aching for more each time you wear it.Dare to wear something that smells this good. Mmmm… is a seductive and enticing fragrance for women, launched in 2016 by the design house of Juliette Has a Gun. This alluring scent features top notes of neroli and geranium, while the orange blossom, jasmine sambac, and tuberose heart will make you sigh with pleasure. If you’re looking for an intimidating yet intriguing experience, take on one more layer of temptation with your eyes closed – the provocative base made up of white musk, patchouli, heliotrope, caramel, and vanilla. Juliette Has A Gun Mmmm… is about daring to feel good. The notes in this fragrance are mixed into the perfect balance to have you feeling sexy, confident, and irresistible. No further change takes place, but the durability is enormous. Also the Sillage is more intensive than the other two. Juliette Has A Gun Citizen Queen is a mysterious and addictive aldehyde chypre at the modern and classic perfumery crossroads.

This fragrance with quite a lot of personality, not to mention enticing notes. The top features vanilla absolute, Amyris, and jasmine. As the perfume moves to its heart, the fragrance welcomes you with sandalwood, coconut milk, orris root, and jasmine. Leaving you to its base of iso e super and ambrette (musk mallow).

Monthly selection

A sense of freedom, intensity, and creaminess all wrapped up in one scent. Juliette Has A Gun Vanilla Vibes crafted for free-spirited men and women with a modern sensibility. In heart and base it resembles enormously Hippie Rose by Heeley, my favourite patchouli rose leather scent. Midnight Oud is only warmer, sweeter and minimally smoky. But it's the kind of patchouli and that spicy warmth that sets it apart from the rather lighter and fresher Heeley that is found in the beguiling base of Fashion Decree by Atkinsons. I attribute this beguiling spiciness to guaiac wood, which I often like very much. All in all, Midnight Oud Fashion Decree is less similar to Hippie Rose, also because the guaiac wood is less in the foreground than Rose, Leather and Patchouli. But I would like to keep the Midnight Oud as well, it has more power, more intense rose, is not as bitchy as the Heeley and it holds and holds and holds and pleases.
