Juliette Has a Gun

Not a Perfume EDP

2010

The take

What works

  • Single-molecule Iso E Super concept: pure ambrette that becomes your skin signature
  • No development, no stages — what you smell at opening is what you get, forever
  • Genuinely useful as a layering base that extends and grounds anything worn over it

Trade-offs

  • If Iso E Super doesn't interact well with your skin chemistry, there is literally nothing else here
  • Not a fragrance in any traditional sense — requires buy-in on the concept
