A new beauty, named Midnight Oud from Romano Ricci's niche line Juliette Has A Gun has just arrived on the market. Designer's ambition for launching this fragrance is to introduce a combination of rock and elegance, creating this romantic and original concept this way, which accompanies the whole collection and creates an image of modern and fragrant rebel.

As for the collection, apart from this fragrance, we can expect just one more edition, since it was planned that Juliette Has A Gun series would encompass 5 perfumes. The new fragrance Midnight Oud was inspired by oriental notes, including accords of Moroccan rose, oud, amber, several sorts of musk, saffron, geranium and patchouli oil. Rose is definitely a common symbol of the whole niche line and this time it is combined with special, mystical Oud tact in a wonderful way.

Midnight Oud arrives in a metallic flacon with engraved name and ornaments. Outer carton has cylindrical shape, just like previous editions, and is dressed in dark velvet with a satin ribbon as a feminine detail. The fragrance is available exclusively at Colette.fr in amount of 100 ml EDP for 98 euro.

I had this one and I was so pleased. Actually I still have it, my girlfriend use it, so I don't anymore. But the pattern, no matter how feminine is, is unbelievably romantic and lustful. So floral, so oriental, so Middle Eastern.
Anyway, tagging niche label on it, I say the bottle and packaging idea are original and more niche than the scent. Of course this is a sillage and longevity monster, qualitatively. You barely can find that much stability in indie perfumes.

Sandrina- I am supposed to get a sample next week.Mr. Ricci has 'royalty' in his blood. You seem to know ahead of time about every perfume before the rest of the ezines. Thank you so much for sharing with us, so that we are insiders too

Yes rictor07 you are quite right! Comptoir Sud Pacifique has new Oud collections, Montale has a huge collection of Oud fragrances and this fragrance include oud too... Aoud is so mystic, I like a combination with roses or spices. Feminine and powerful! :)

I really can't wait to try this edition. Other perfumes of Juliette collections are adorable, modern, well blended and specific, based on Roses theme, too. I could guess that Aoud, Moroccan Roses and spices here would have some modern but typical composition for Ricci fragrances. :)

Everyone is getting in on the Oud lately. This brand seems to only do womens fragrance. I wonder what suggestions people have for mens scents with Oud?

I've heard great things about this line but unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I think I may have to go out of my way to get my hands on a sample of this one, though. I can't resist rose and patchouli and the other notes sound lovely, as well!
