JULIETTE HAS A GUN JULIETTE Midnight Oud EDP 100ml

Product Information

I can still wallow for hours in a slightly smoky intensified Hippie Rose with a touch of Fashion Decree. 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. Citizen Queen is the third fragrance of the Juliette Has A Gun collection in 2008, which comes with a silver top and milky-white color motif of roses decoration on the bottle. The perfect balanced blend of leather, aldehydes, and bergamot as its top notes. Leads into its heart notes of iris, rose, immortelle, tuberose, and orange blossom. These elegant flowers turn rugged on base notes which feature powdery notes, musk, labdanum, French labdanum, resins, vanilla, and ambroxan.

Midnight Oud's main players are supported by geranium, a “crisp rose” shape-shifter if ever there was, and a woody-amber accord that pipes up in the drydown. It's the drydown that's the letdown. The warm woody amber seems so...expected, so...so. 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. 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 Each of his scents is unique in the way that Romano Ricci has given them a personality. Each of us has a little "something" of one of these fragrances within us all. Do you connect with being naive and innocent like Miss Charming, mysterious and seductive like Lady Vengeance, cavalier and dangerous like Citizen Queen, magical like Midnight Oud or feminine yet strong like Calamity J?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 Get in touch with your masculine side with the fifth scent of the Juliette Has A Gun collection. With Calamity J., you can get away from fruity or floral aromas for a fresh, musky woody-amber composition that has all the ruggedness of dandy perfumes but without going overboard and becoming vulgar. With its top note of cinnamon, middle notes of iris and iso e super, base notes of amber, patchouli, musk, tonka bean, vanilla absolute, labdanum, castoreum, civet, and cetalox. Incidentally, Midnight Oud is a limited edition because originally, Juliette Has a Gun director Romano Ricci had only intended to create five fragrances for the line. The distributor tells me that Ricci didn't want Midnight Oud to be his final fragrance (after Citizen Queen, Lady Vengeance, Miss Charming and Calamity J), so he dubbed it a "limited edition". There will be another limited edition fragrance coming out this holiday season called Not a Perfume. 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. 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.

If what he means by that phrase is he wanted to make a less aggressive oud which would be more wearable by people who are not enamored of strong notes, I think he succeeded. The top of Midnight Oud begins with a pairing of bergamot and saffron. This is as strong a saffron note as I’ve come across recently and it is an excellent choice to start off an oud based fragrance. The saffron imparts a slightly dried grass and leather aspect to the beginning which adds a little bit of exoticism to the beginning. The heart begins with the appearance of the oud. The oud is very restrained here, of all of the oud scents out there it is most closely akin to the level of oud in M7.Les options de livraison sont les suivantes : Livraison standard (Colissimo) et livraison express (Chronopost). The top is dominated by saffron. It is followed by middle notes of rose and geranium. As these fade away, they uncover the base of amber, patchouli, musk and wood notes. (Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin, is a flowering plant closely related to mint. However, its smell is very strong and earthy.) The predominantly oriental tone here is filled with mystique and faraway lands. High Price but Large Bottle

In Midnight Oud, the oud smells leathery. Like brand-new leather, along with saffron and crisp, bright rose. Even with the rose, Midnight Oud isn't particularly “floral”. It's the kind of rose that's more fruit and wine than actual flower. A fruit and wine rose in a box, because there's an appealing sweet cardboard dryness to this perfume. I saw a leftover bottle of Midnight Oud offered in exchange. I'm a Juliette has-a-gun fan, at least I tend to be. I am a self-confessed oud skeptic. I had a conflict. I did it: I traded him. Just out of curiosity. I wore it, too. Three days so far. That's nonstop since I got him. Every Juliette gets a comment from me. So does this one. I can assure you: Now I have a new conflict. The smell is great. But... well, but.. 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 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.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. The 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. 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.
