Lady Vengeance Juliette Has A Gun for women

Elegant, exuberant, mysterious, seductive, sophisticated...or simply, beautiful. Any of these adjectives and many more could fit into one perfume: Lady Vengeance.

This Juliette starts her magic with a sweet patchouli that has a vintage vibe, setting a delightful stage for a smoky and voluptuous rose reminiscent of the Precious Gulab incense, soon being wrapped by a swanky stole of vanilla *worry not! this is not a plastic or confectionery vanilla* that blends in a seamless fragrance lasting for hours, close to the skin, always like a magnet for noses.

Whether this perfume is supposed to represent a vengeful femme fatale or not, I can't say, but certainly is one that should be worn whenever one has second intentions beneath a bombshell aura :)

Une rose éclaboussé de patchouli, un peu sombre et très sexy, mais pas de vanille sur moi et tant-mieux. Bonne tenue 6-8 heure env. Je l'aime l'hiver.

Everytime I happen to find a tester somewhere I need to spray this one. Everytime I love it for its deep, intense, yet not gloomy ROSE!
Not totally dark, not so murderous but quite going down to deep nature of women with a sense of fresh humidity coming from green leaves. Simple and gorgeous. Elegant, too.

This vengeful lady reminds me of the decadent ballad written by Nick Cave and performs with Kylie Minogue: "Where the wild roses grow".
Perfume "Lady Vengeance" and the ballad sung by Nick Cave are alike: both have something dark, something violent and tender at the same time, something very dramatic, something melancholic, something mysterious and enigmatic ..
Once, I bought myself this perfume but a few splashes of it was enough: I had a feeling like I was "dressed to murder", or feeling of something rotten ..
"Lady Vengeance" had to say goodbye and walk all the way back to the original place from which it came to me - the cosmetics department shelf ...

Lady Vengeance is a dark, damp rose with a bit of earthiness underneath. It makes me picture a bouquet of red roses, slightly wilted, lying on the piled dirt of a fresh grave. Gothy and a bit aloof. Decent lasting power. In the future, I will probably stick to Cabaret for this type of rose scent. It seems a bit more evocative to me, and the price is better.

Juliette Has a Gun LADY VENGEANCE naturally sets up expectations with its name and, yes, they are dashed. This does not strike me as an intense composition at all. Instead, it's perfectly tame and well-behaved. A pleasant blend of rose, vanilla and patchouli, this polite perfume would probably suit anyone looking for a modern rose. The blend is very smooth and not too sweet, and in contrast to many recent launches, the patchouli here is very measured. I would say that the quality is on a par with some of the Parfums de Rosine rose perfumes.

I like LADY VENGEANCE, but she has not captured my heart. Perhaps she's just too nice?

My friend and I discovered that we both had this one. What a coincidence - with all the fragrances out there! It's deep and rosey; roses with the thorns actually. Lots of sillage and staying power. My sis tried it and loved it so I got her a bottle for her birthday. She's estatic!

Dusty rose at the opening and vetiver which doesn't let the note of a rose get powdery. I like it but I agree that the fragrance is very overpriced. Similar to R. Piguet Calypso at least on my skin but a way louder and with better sillage. Longevity is good, 8 hours plus.

Very similar to Narciso Rodriguez for her, especially on my skin, but more sweet and juicy.

Hey,
ahh, this is interesting about Lia`s telling about wearing perfume while praying. For me I have always thought perfume to be a portal to "upstairs office". And now I see similarities here. Smiling wide atm ;D

Lady Vengeance? There's nothing murderous and avenging here. On me: Fresh rose, green patchouli & vanilla. All smooth & sexy. Actually, it's nothing new to me because this fragrance does remind me of those Arabian attars that contains patchouli and rose oils in it. Only this one is very smoothly blended and I can't detect any sharp stinging edges like the effect of some of those attars have on my nose.

When i smell this fume, instantly it will evoke the memories of Ramadhan month, the holy month of Islam in me. This is because as a young child, I always followed my parents to perform Taraweeh prayers at the mosque nearby. My most vivid memory was to smell this kind of smell because most of the older people in the congregation would wear this type of perfume. (It's a religious ritual for us Muslims to wear fragrance when performing our prayers) If not they would have worn something with oudh in it, regardless of gender. I used to hate this kind of smell at first but then it started to grow on me.I started to feel comfortable and loving it. So, for having encounter this type of smell again in a different context, as for this case in a beautiful bottle and a misleading name...well I must say that I'm in love again.

Luckily I found a full 100ml bottle together with Citizen Queen on sale at a warehouse clearance sale in my town. I got it for only USD 40 per bottle. There were still another 9-12 bottles left when i bought them including Miss Charming which seemed to clear off a bit fast than others. (Romano Ricci would've gag if he knew his perfumes would end up in a clearance sale.) Sadly to say, in my place the people here don't seem to appreciate good perfumes. They seem to go for trends, what is popular and something that is generic smelling and safe.I heard that Francis Kurkdjian line is coming to my town, I couldn't wait to test them! Hopefully it will not end end up like this one here.

Overall I love this perfume, I always spray it on my sweater and oh god! what a beautiful trail it will leave behind. Nothing new and solely original about it but loveable in IMHO.

Too expensive for what it is which is an 'ok' perfume.

OMG this is gorgeous. If you like dark rose, patchouli and musk, this is heaven. White musk isn't listed as a note but it's definitely there, in the background - but rose and patch are the stars here. The vanilla is very, very mild, it just gives extra warmth.

Note, this is not a 'dirty hippy' type of patchouli. It's a smooth patch, not at all herbal or earthy.

This is understated, elegant and slightly mysterious. And so delicious! I can't stop smelling my wrists when I wear this.

A definite patchouly rose, I guess it should resemble agent provocateur, but lady vengeance has something that agent provocateur doesn't which makes lady vengeance highly tolerable for me and AP not. It's less dusty maybe, just a clear dark rose. Mysterious and serious :)

Is it only me that finds this perfume more soapy and green than rose? Is it only me that smells the smidgeon of rose as it hits my skin before it runs off into the sunset in two seconds flat? Is it only me that is left with nothing after about 5 mins?

I was so pleased to get my hands on LV but was so disappointed! I even tried it on two other people who both have very different skin to me. Both got a little more rose but within 30 mins it had gone from their skin too!

I suppose it just isn't packing a big enough gun for me! Very down about this one as I really wanted to like it. I love the name, love the bottle and love the notes.

Oh well you win some you lose some!

Gorgeous and seems to have more going on than the few notes listed. Well blended, not one note taking over. A rare thing to find a fragrance which has this fresh zesty quality without being screechy sharp. Also has nice deeper facets. There is none of the off-putting typical cheap synthetic so called vanilla note in this. This is well done.

Normally I don't like perfumes with an overly smell of vanilla, rose or patchoeli, but the mix of these tree ingredients is just great! Not one of the ingredients is overwhelming. It has a lot of warmth, just like Narciso Rodriguez for her, which is one of my favorite perfumes!

Really really nice. It's about the rose but it's rose with a difference. The vanilla complements it really well. Lovely perfume, a bit on the dark side!

Nothing could be more dangerous than a woman who's seeking for vengeance, mostly if she's beautiful and intelligent: this is a rather undeniable statement which Romano Ricci could have considered while he was looking for a name for this fragrance.

This Lady is actually very attractive and smart, but she doesn't look evil at all: an intense shade of pink lipstick, a little black dress and a pair of white leather boots are her signatures...and she's aware she can get whatever she wants when she wears them.
The nocturne air around her is fulfilled with an (utterly sexy) absolute of dark roses and delicious vanilla, slightly tempered with hints of patchouly and woody musk. Her pale skin is one thing with her scent, they will never get apart.

Oh, this fragrance is so simple, so captivating, so perfect..I'm in love with it, no more words needed :)

always having great experience with it:) even in 33 degrees - Celsius:) - summertime! Adorable, feminine and soft.
Vanilla works perfect in this fragrance, even if i don't like vanilla.

I bought it today. In the dark! Thank goodness, I like this.
It 's true that in its evolution recalls Rodriguez For Her, But has its own life.
And, what is fundamental for me, it remains for at least eight hours on my skin!

70% similar to Narciso Rodriguez For Her, only lighter version, they are by the same nose

Rose can be rather too sharp for my tastes. Lady Vengeance is about rose, but the rose isn't quite so loud here, as I found in Miss Charming and especially Citizen Queen. It's quite pleasant and one I'll need to try a few more times to assess whether I'm ready for a rose in my collection. Gorgeous.

I'm just not a fan of this brand. It's the third fragrance from JHAG that I sampled, and it just smells weird. It smells like rose perfume and melted plastic. Like one of their other scents, it seems to have an aspartame aftertaste. I am trying to write this review, and when the scent wafts up to my nose from my wrist below, I keep thinking I smell that yucky smell from when my mom does a perm on herself, an ammonia smell. I can't believe how much this sells for, it's gross.

I tested this on a day when I did, indeed, have vengeance on my mind. I wanted a scent designed for a strong and resourceful heroine, a woman of dark decisiveness, with backbone and fire.
So what have we here? Chloe’s purer, simpler sister, cross that she wasn't bequeathed her share of litchi or peony…
Lady Vengeance opens with a flash of edgy patchouli, but quickly transitions into a big ebullient rose. It is a warm and rich rose--yes, with that metallic glint that kterhark mentions, which I personally don't mind. I think the metal is some sensory undertone of the Rose note, because I find it in Chloe and Pleasures too. It is as if you have sucked on a silver spoon.
After about three hours, the rose stepped back to make room for a very prominent and creamy vanilla--I really lost the rose almost completely. At that point I didn't feel so enamoured of LV, as I can obtain big vanilla from lots of fragrances, and don't usually choose to.
However, about 7 hours into it, having accepted that I was smelling like a warm and girly cream cake, the Rose came back, wafting up from my cleavage, very perceptibly--a strange alternation, to be sure!
If you like Rose and you like Vanilla: you will love this fragrance. It is made with quality ingredients, and it projects it's notes with lovely clarity.
No Vengeance here, however, just tender Lady.

I'm not a perfum expert, I can't easily distinguish the ingredients of a perfum but to me it's definetely the result that counts.
Right amount of ingredients and... here it is! A perfect perfum at least to me! It can be used day- night-summer-winter, it's special and it stays on for long long hours especially on clothes.

The rose, the vanilla and the patchouli are fabulously combined, in order to create a deliciously grown up, luscious and gorgeous perfume. The perfect light rose warmed up with a hint of vanilla with a sense of depth provided by the patchouli. Although I think it´s unique and not a copy, my brain associates it to Midnight Poison because of the similarity of some notes and to Coco because of the “grown up” vibe.

Lady Vengeance has bowled me over. I've struggled to find a rose fragrance which isn't too chintzy or strong, and this is perfect. It's a complex rose fragrance with great staying power - I only used a couple of drops in the morning and still got a few compliments about the perfume in the evening.

Hm.. this is a very interesting perfume , it does inded smell like rose oil but in a good way . I must admit i was a little hesitant to try this , dident think i would care to much for the patcholi. but this is rather nice i think .
I got is as a gift a little sampel to try . i dont think i will go out and buy a bottle of this . but i absoultly will enjoy this as long as i have it.
Very unlike anything iw worn before . i think im growing up..:)
a very nice blend i will say. good for a night out one town or just a late dinner.

Re. the comparison with the original Agent Provocateur: Lady Vengeance is like AP - or rather a lighter AP, an essence of it - but AP mixed with a definite fruity aspect. I'm confused as no fruit notes at all are listed for this perfume but fruit is definitely there.
I normally hate 'fruity' but, as with Miss Charming, this is a delightful, well crafted, quality perfume and very wearable for me.
This is the 2nd of the sample set that I have tried and I'm well impressed with these Romano Ricci perfumes and I love the opaque bottles too!

Lady Vengeance? interessant. but this has nothing to do with any vengeance .... pungent maybe. i would call it lady rose. but that would not sell the product, huh? :)

i think this is a scented rose oil sold as perfume. They added little this, little that and voilá, we can sell it for triple price :)

Maybe i am all going wrong with the above.

Could be that no natural oil is involved ;). oh that was mean!

So all in all, if one wants to exude roses it should be Bulgarian rose oil , imho.

I loved this about an hour ago. Thought it was interesting and familiar at the same time. Gave my daughter a sniff at my wrist...she is six--and she said, "Smells like Grandma!" Now, this is not an insult as my grandmother is the most youthful, stylish, classy woman I know. Her signature scent is Animale...and on second whiff at my wrist, I realize my daughter's right. JHAG is just a bit "softer" than Animale...but they are very similar. "Out of the mouths of babes," as they say...

I tried this along with all of the JHAG frags very extensively before picking my favorite. I thought it would be Miss Charming, but Miss Charming has a citronella scent with the rose, and frankly I prefer the much cheaper Stella, which smells very similar but costs less. For more of a straight forward rose I reach for Jo Malone's Red Roses, I prefer it to Stella despite it being very linear, but it still doesn't hold a candle to Lady V. I am not the biggest fan of roses or patchouli (especially when they are done wrong, which they usually are) I really didn't expect to fall so hard for lady V but I have, it is so well blended and beautiful, sweet rose and vanilla with a small dose of deep patchouli. By far my favorite rose scent. I also own Citizen Queen, which I am not as fond of, but is still a very pretty and interesting fragrance and Not a Perfume, which is a lovely skin scent that has no allergens. I am not sure if I prefer Not a Perfume or Lady V, they are so different, one a light long lasting skin scent that is lovely in its own right, and the much louder lady v- it depends on the occasion, but for my sheets, I don't think anything smells better than Lady V- ever. I cant wait to try the oil! This one layers fantastically well with anything else, too! I love it with a plain vanilla over it, it becomes the perfect scent for me...
I love JHAG packaging too, I am a sucker for it, I can't wait till my oil bullet comes! I will edit my review and tell you all about it when it does!
Right now, Lady V is on my top 10 list, out of about 150 frags. A must try for rose lovers- but my mom hates roses and she loves this scent, I don't care for roses much either, but this is just perfection...



UPDATE:
Got my bullet of oil. I am very unsatisfied with the packaging, it is very difficult to refill and the bottle is not something I would put in my purse because it easily falls apart, I am happy to keep it on my night stand, but I cant say I am not disappointed and I hope it is a fluke. The bottom does not seem to really stay attached if there is any movement and I saw some leakage in my package and noticed the bottle was not as full as the refills. It seemed sturdy at first, but once I opened it, it never snapped into place (I even had my strong male roommate try and he totally agreed it just would not work!)
The fragrance its self is nothing short of magical with a pure vanilla over top. It is a little richer than the spray version, but very true to it as well. I tried layering both lady v's but its way too floral, I need the sweetness of my personal fav tihota or jalaine vanilla mixed with it.

Update again on the bullet:
like I suspected, the bottom popped off and is lost forever (its TINY) so I wont be able to even house the oil in the bullet anymore. I am so sad about the packaging, even the rollerball is bad, the perfume either leaks like crazy or nothing comes out at all. The scent of the oil is fantastic when you can get it out but I really hope I just got a fluke. I will repurchase the spray if I run out but not the bullet again because everything about the packaging is just depressing, the oil is such a rich and pretty smell, its a shame.

è forte! Assomiglianza con A.P. c'è senza dubbio ,anche con il Narciso Rodrigez,ma comunque sento la prezenza di qualche nota strana e sgradevole che pare fosse una medicina o una sostanza di un detergente da bagno.....

Before I tested it, I had in mind the main character from Chan-wook Park's "Lady Vengeance". For those of you who have never seen this controversial film, she is a murderess with a face of an angel, which (I think) helped me to understand this fragrance.

At first I expected something with a kick. Something subversive, and I didnt get it. Then I thought of Geum-ja Lee from the film and the shock when her employer (a pastry chef in a bakery where she was designing the most exquisite cakes and cookies) discovered that she had spent many years in prison. Maybe that's what the fragrant Lady Vengeance is about? Not so obvious at the first sight, making you think she is a lamb, while in fact she hides a knife behind her back? Therefore, I dont think that the fragrance necessarily should smell harsh or powerful.


The fragrance starts with a quiet breeze of a medical exam room (patchouli), but later on sets as as rather soft, delicate sweet rose. Very natural, feminine, elegant. I first wanted to say that it is not that special, but it is slowly growing on me. I must say I am quite introgue and I especially appreciate the fact that it is not too sweet. Overally, it is a bit too faint for me, nevertheless, for fans of discrete roses, definitely something to try out.

This is a nice rose but nothing we haven't seen before (especially for the cost). It is nicely done and a little bit fruity. Very sweet though - i would have expected far sharper from a fragrance with the word 'vengeance' in the title.

Starts very rosy with a patchouli kick to it. very fresh in the beginning and a bit sharp. the dry down gives a warm rosy vanilla. Its a nice scent but not for me. Its to floral for my taste

too me its a bit too dusty rose! did not expect that,i prefer midnight oud ;)

With a name like Lady Vengeance, I was expecting something more powerful and assertive (and sexy). This was not to be, at least on my skin. I got a sharp note of rose and patchiouli for the first few seconds and then it quickly mellowed out to gentle rose and vanilla with a hint of patchouli. It lasted on me about 6 or 7 hours and stayed close to my skin. I bought a sample of this and a couple other Julliette fragrances and so far this is not my first choice.

Lady Vengeance smells rather similar to Agent Provocateur, only a bit more classy, a bit more sophisticated and less loud and aggressive. It's definitely a more wearable (and expensive) version of it, but it keeps the slightly dirty, sensual, animalistic feel that teases, entices, arouses and makes me want to wear it in intimate moments.

A very sexy scent, the smell of a sensuous lady with a dark secret that her lovers would die to know.

Based on th enotes I should be screaming and running away from this, but, I do love to try something I think I might not like. Actually, what "Lady Vengeance" does to my skin is: it opens little bit sharp, but those are probably the first 5 seconds, after that it's just plain mix of the three notes, which work together perfectly. The vanilla is warm, smooth and creamy, the rose is fresh, little bit even sparkling and tiny bit soapy. And the patchoulli just gives a little touch of dirt and sexyness. What there is not to like? Very well made, sexy, feminine and wearable. A must for chypre lovers.

Very pleasant, clean, fresh rose scent, indeed the patchouli here is a subtle one, balancing the sweet rose scent with indistinct woodsy-green nuances rather than making its presence known...still the overall effect of the combination makes the scent quite sharp and on the soapy side...so this could be easily worn by men too. The dry down is softer and scent gets a little sweeter and less sharper, more vanillic/powdery and musky while still maintaining the clean feel. I do like it, it is easy to wear and is the kind of scent I would happily use anytime anywhere without getting sick of it. But it is quite plain and for its simplicity and poor staying power, it is too overpriced...I would rather stick to Crabtree and Evelyn's Evelyn Rose for my romantic fresh rose scent (less costly, much better longevity, and I get more roses) and CK One for my sharp and squeaky-clean unisex needs. LV seems to me like an offspring of those two.

Not at all vengeful on my skin- a very sweet, natural rose. The patchouli is very subtle. Lovely scent- wish it had more staying power though!

This is a strange one. I really enjoy Lady Vengeance when I first apply to my skin. That's when the patchouli really shines with the rosiest of roses. Then the patchouli fades, which makes me sad, and the vanilla seems to emerge as a powder, and the rose becomes a bit too musty and overwhelming the entire composition.

I sooooo wanted to love this.


It is pleasant, but it doesn't work for me. If only the opening lasted and lasted, I would be a happy girl.

Admirable rose but in 2 hours insoportable frsh.Where is rose gone???not for me.

Lady Vengeance reminds me of Voleur de Roses. LV is less earthy and a little more sweet and rosy, with a touch of vanilla. I like it.

I got a sample from this Perfume, and surely it took my heart. Had to buy it <3<3<3 Will truly recommend to people who do need sometimes some cheer ups. No matter if there is sadness, being tired or any kind of low energy level.. this will truly cheer up. Warmly recommend when "healing" needed and extra energy ;))

Be careful with this Lady... because she'll probably win your heart!

First the bottle is great and the package so gorgeous!
The scent itself... is a spicy combo of rose and vanilla with the patchouli - all three well blended, nothing here is too much... I may say, it's perfect!
The rose is a romantic juicy rose, the vanilla adds some sweetness and it's a nice powdery one and the patchouli it's what gives all the sexiness of this perfume.

For me this is not the ephitome of sexy neither of the romantic... this has just the right balance between provocative and dreamy, the classic and the modern!
She is a Lady, indeed! Probably not vengeance, but definitely not cute!
Suitable for colder time or for a cool night at Summer time... and for all ages. I think Francis Kurkdjian has created a new modern classic!

For the women of the the 21st Century!

This is tough, it smells like Midnight Poison Elixir on me but dare I say FRESHER. I must be starting to like the in your face fragrances. This is very sharp patchouli and the rose sceams respect me now, and the remaining is you should move away. I LOVE IT! I must have it again.......

This is a sneaky little half review for I only smelled this from the bottle today and didn't try it on.
As soon as I smelled it I was very much reminded of the original Agent Provocateur...
That's a thumbs up from me so far then, must give it a wear some time.
ps. Ah, just read the other reviews and AP pops up in a lot of people's minds and noses. I think I will go back for this one..

Very lovely. Pure rose with a little vanilla and just a bit of patchouli. It's very gentle and romantic and I like it a lot but I wish it could last longer on my skin and I wish it was stronger, too.

WOW! It's a wonderful chypre! I agree to most of the reviewers below: sexy, provocative, a sweet woman who wins your heart and after takes her revenge...yes, my cup of tea, after Miss Charming.
It has something sweet and sour, you know? Magnificent.

Lady Vengeance starts with sharp, fresh and sweet rose, with a little bit medicine-like tart sweetness(from pachoulli I guess). The start is really mouth-watering and pleasant. The sharpness here reminds me of Bond No.9 Bryant Park, but Bond No.9 is fresher and cooler in a way.

Then it gives off about two-three good hours of rose dominant scent which is sweet, natural and a little bit dark.

The dry down is quite sexy in my opinion, it is still the rose, but softer, muskier, closer to your skin and it’s quite similar to Cabaret but without the ‘sweaty’ feeling.

Overall it’s quite a pleasant perfume. It’s kind of contradictory to its name ‘Lady Vengeance’. Or maybe it’s the essence of this ‘Vengeance’? You will be so willingly to fall for it. :-)

It reminds me of some older fragrance. Something my grandmother wore - Gucci or something mainstream? I'm very much reminded of something from the 1970s. On my skin, rose less apparent but when I smelled my sleeve fabric, that's the only note I could smell. While I like the scent, I find it too strong for daily wear. I wish the rose and patchouli was muted a bit &/or there was a bit of tartness added to cut the cloying aspect of this fragrance. Good staying power and sillage even if sparingly applied.

This is a really full on overpowering rose that reminds me of someone's pot pourri from the 80's. After about a hour a masculine note is there, maybe its the patch vanilla combo but I still dont like it, then it dries down to a softer rose tinged with vanilla, not bad but such a boring fragrance really.

This is a wonderful, utterly feminine and extremely refined version of rose. Not very new and original as a concept but very well made.
It agrees with my chemistry too, even if it takes a long time to settle to something less sharp than initial burst.
The beginning is totally about a sharp bulgarian rose which seems to me to be more of a Moroccan paired with a cold smell of patchouli, almost minty. It stays so for a long while, it smells Eastern rose, almost like in Aoud Queen Rose, then after 3-4 hours the minty patchouli edge is tamed and a mellow luscious vanilla soften the rose. At its final stage it's incredibly similar to Agent Provocateur Signature without the dirt! Simple, essential, beautiful woman.
The quality is great. This is what Givenchy Very Irresistible Sensual Eau de Parfum could have been. That's a beautiful scent too, but more typical commercial style.

Agree that this one could stand in one line with Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum easily, because at first Lady Vengeance is so, will not say similar, but makes me think of AP.

The difference from AP is that Lady Vengeance is very sensual, but not dirty. Still it's not falling apart from AP.

LV is dark rosey chypre. Later I could pick from composition that dark rose along with hint of vanilla and patchouli. I like this very much, but still I prefer Citizen Queen and Midnight Oud. All three bear signature of Juliette has a Gun brand (If you smelled at least 2 perfumes you'll know what it is ;D). I admit that I like these special 'brand' notes. You can guess it's Chanel or Goutal or LhaG easily.

Warm, simple (but not ordinary, it's quite genial mix), sensual, alluring modern scent that has all chances to become a classic (In fact I would mean under this loud sentence all Juliette fragrances (I tried), bravo, Romano Ricci for making these original well done fragrances!)

sometimes less is more, and lady vengeance is a perfect example of a perfume with only three notes that stil smells ultra luxurious and captivating, never overbearing. i always get complements when wearing it. this is one of my top 3 favs.

This is my second sample from this line, and so far I prefer Citizen Queen. This is also the third Rose composition from Kurkdjian I've tried this week, the third being Rose Barbare, which is also a Chypre Floral. Lady Vengeance, on me, wore better on my clothes than it did on my skin. There is something going on in this composition, a sharp, metallically thing that I found distracting. Around hte three hour mark this did subside, but I wasn't left with anything that screamed 'buy me'. (Rose Barbare, on the other hand...)

Sorry Ticalau ... the over 30s .... and over 40s [shock horror] love it too!

This is everything I wanted NR for her to be! I love it. It's just the perfect combo of rose and patchouli and it smells musky on my skin. FB worth indeed!

I think that this is a very clean,pure and fresh scent. Which is odd beacuse when I read other reviews. Most of them escribed this scent as the total opposite. I would say it has a soapy character similar to the one of Marc Jacobs-Cucumber. Just much less green and much more rosy-soapy. Good if you like fresh scents but not for me.

The patchouli in this reminds me of Gucci by Gucci.
It is really sweet and slightly powdery when it is completely dried down. It lasts for a really long time. I love perfumes that slightly smell like a really mans cologne, and this has that edge to it at first, but after it soaks into my skin it smells SUPER feminine and soft. Girly and sweet. x

This is a beautifully well-done rose fragrance. This rose is sexy and musky, not a fresh and clean rose.

Opening notes actually remind me of a sexier and less subtle version of Narciso Rodriguez for Her. I think I like this better, because it smells less synthetic to my nose. Less powdery too.

Dry-down reminds me a little of Cabaret without the lemon drizzle. I like the fact that the vanilla stays in the background here and the musky rose dominates even to the end. Keeps it sexy without being too sweet.

I love it and it has fantastic staying power...I put just a tiny amount on about five hours ago and it's still going strong!

Got this recently... i love the smell after around half an hour of putting it on.

Although the first time i tested i thought it was o.k., but nothing new, this became easily a favorite and part of my permanent collection.Maybe because the patchouli roses combo is timeless,and in the company of berries and something that smells like a satin purple gown becames magical.Seemingly simple but it diffuses easily on the air, and smells fantastic

Juliette has a gun is so special.I like this fragrance very much it's one of my favorites.Lady Vengeance smells like the bottle looks,dark and charming i would put this in the category(Agent provocateur and Pearls de lalique).The fragrance is so feminine and also strong and audacious.The scent is really harsh,a little bit soapy and floral.You smell the great bulgarien rose the patchouli and the touch of vanilla.

The Bottle "wow" the bottle have many details and i really love the bottle,it's a bit heavy to hold them but that's nice.The ornament are so cute,there are the name and around the bottle are cute signs:
A heart,rose,stars,moon,a cross, the flowers,a pumpkin,leaf,a eye,boot,owl and a GUN.The cap is out of metal or iron really heavy, and at the top is the gravure of the brand,i like it a lot.I'm so happy that i bought this special one.Good for everday or special day's and better for the winter,spring time or the fall.

Very middle range rose scent. I get plain, nothing much rose throughout. I am unimpressed.

This perfume is not as provocative as it may sound, but simply gorgeous. A flowery oriental with a very interesting woody patchouli drydown... in a way reminiscent of the discontinued L'Arte di Gucci. The fragrace is quite original, because you can recognize it on the spot. The top and middle notes are centered around a very huge, aromatic rose, before the oriental guns are brought in (as mentioned above: patchouli and vanilla). A wonderful signature scent - not only for passionate, hot-blooded Juliettes.

this perfume is soooo nice i searched and searched after my mum bought it back from portugal to find only selfriges sold it online well apart from america that is i find lots of perfumes go sickly and sweet on my skin and give me a headache so i rarely do find one i love this perfume would suit the young to the old as its very clean and fresh smelling and really does last on the skin i would recommend to anyone

Do you think of yourself as a "don't mess with me" kinda gal? Because Lady Vengeance tries very hard to put out this kind of vibe.
It's nicely sharp and spicy, very well blended so the roses seem a little more thorny, which it good.
It's more sharp than oriental to me, less sexy than others here have noticed and more "keep your distance". all and all, a great one.

This fragrance reminds me of Agent Provocateur-Eau Emotionelle, magic and mystic with tender rose in center of composition. Vanilla gives sweetness and creamy touch, with sexy chypre accords of patchouli. Bottle is too romantic:)
