Juliette Has a Gun
Lipstick Fever EDP
2020
“The smell of a vintage lipstick tube opened for the first time — powder, iris, desire.”

The take
What works
- ●Violet-iris-rose captures the powdery, waxy quality of lipstick perfectly
- ●Orris adds depth and creaminess that elevates the powdery concept
- ●Cedar base keeps the vintage powder vibe from tipping into grandma's dresser
Trade-offs
- ●Powdery-violet concept is very specific — those who dislike powder will find it relentless
- ●Lacks the wit of Not a Perfume or Moscow Mule
