Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume Eau de Parfum 50ml

Description

Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume is a 50 ml eau de parfum (EDP) whose scent is built around a single molecule called Cetalox. It is clean, light and minimalist, just like the white bottle it comes in.

What is Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume?

Not A Perfume is a fragrance from the Paris perfume house Juliette Has A Gun, created by Romano Ricci. The name is a play on words: it is not a traditional perfume composition but one synthetic molecule. Cetalox is an ambroxan-type aroma ingredient used as an alternative to ambergris, and here it makes up the whole scent. Because there is only one component, the fragrance does not move from top notes to heart notes and base notes on the skin. It stays the same from morning to evening. The scent is strong and long-lasting, and the profile is woody and musky.

One molecule, one character

Most perfumes are made of dozens of ingredients that open in layers. Not A Perfume works the other way round: the scent is there at once and stays unchanged. That makes it a calm, predictable fragrance that is easy to wear every day and needs no matching to an outfit, a mood or a season. The white colour of the bottle and its clean design underline the same idea: a blank page rather than a complicated story.

The scent suits people who prefer a close-to-skin, understated aroma. As an eau de parfum it is strong enough to stay on the skin for hours, and one or two sprays leave a clear but not overpowering trail.

Who Not A Perfume suits

A minimalist aroma appeals to people who want to wear fragrance without big statements. The perfume suits women and anyone who likes clean, musky and woody scents.

• an everyday scent for work, university or a café
• anyone who likes one lasting scent that does not change during the day
• a minimalist addition to a fragrance collection
• a gift for someone who values design and simplicity

How to wear the perfume

1. Spray the scent on clean, dry skin, for example the wrists and the neck.
2. Start with one or two sprays and add another on the chest or behind the ear if you like.
3. Let the aroma dry on the skin without rubbing: it stays cleaner on the skin for longer.
4. Spray again whenever you want the scent to come forward more clearly in the middle of the day.

The fragrance goes well with unscented or lightly scented body care. Because the aroma is simple, it does not compete with the scent of creams and shampoo but stays in the background of them.

Bottle and packaging

The bottle holds 50 ml of eau de parfum with a spray nozzle. It is white, with silver lettering Juliette Has A Gun and red NOT A PERFUME lettering. The box is white as well, with black sides, and looks like a present that needs no extra wrapping. The 50 ml size fits in a handbag and lasts a long time. The white box and minimalist design make it a fitting gift for a birthday, a thank-you or simply to cheer someone up. Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume suits a person who prefers clean, simple scents and appreciates a beautifully designed bottle.
