Juliette Has A Gun And A Very Powerful Smell

written by:Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

I was just turned on to the great collection “Juliette Has a Gun,” a perfume collection from Romano Ricci, great-grandson of famed couturier Nina Ricci. I have not gotten myself this collection just yet…but I am sure when I do, I will find a favorite out of these decadent perfumes. As I type this, I can smell the rose and vanilla scents in my hair and I feel like I should be wearing a pair of sexy Christian Dior black leather boots. Inspired by one of Shakespeare’s most-beloved heroines, Romano’s first two scents in the collection -Lady Vengeance and Miss Charming-were created with the assistance of master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. Citizen Queen, the new scent, I think will be my first purchase.


Elegant yet bristling with wild, thorny rose, Lady Vengeance hides its claws under velvety rose petals, soft patchouli and seductive vanilla. Sly and charming under her rosy exterior, Lady Vengeance lays waste to the non-believers in the seductive powers of rose by wrapping her legs around earthy patchouli and dipping her fingers in the time honored man slayer of golden vanilla, a combination that’s impossible to deny. Resistance is futile! Lady Vengeance top notes are Bulgarian rose, vanilla, patchouli.



Miss Charming bats her eyelashes with innocence and virginal sweetness, a gentle rose scent sweetened with a burst of wild fruits resulting in a wispy and flirty perfume that brightens any occasion. I bet your friends and coworkers will stand a little closer when you wear this, smile a little more and chat a little longer. It might be your sparkling wit and scintillating conversation, suspect it’s just Miss Charming working her sweet, sweet magic. Miss Charming notes are Moroccan rose, musk, wild fruits.

Juliette had a gun, now it also has a crown. Citizen Queen the third weapon in this hip series of rose fragrances is the most powerful one yet. Blended with amber and patchouli, the dark, leathery rose at the center of the composition takes no prisoners. Violet and iris soften the striking mix, adding a charming retro quality to the perfume. Veiled by this delicately powdery accord, the rose is mysterious, elusive, endlessly intriguing. Citizen Queen main notes are Leather, Bulgarian Rose, Iris, Amber, Immortal flowers, Labdanum.
