Julia (for women)

mellybee

Julia combines notes of orange, rhuburb, blackcurrant and jasmine, violet, hyacinth; it starts with fruity notes, the flowers join in shortly thereafter and intensify over the next 30 minutes or so. It has a youthful, fresh appeal with just a hint of seductness.

Even so, unfortunately, I found it to be slightly too sweet for my taste.
I mean, it's nicely done, even if it is not my sort of fragrance, I rather liked the top notes, which were sparkling and nicely tart (the rhubarb and the blackcurrant seemed to be rather freshly picked fruit leaves than the fruit itself) and the violet - hyacinth combination was really impressive, but there was the raspberry accord in the drydown that was sweeter than I would like.

While undeniably well-made, it is exactly the kind of fragrance that does not appeal to me personally - candy-sweet and fruity.

Juliette has a gun

This is a niche fragrance, but one of the best I ever encountered. Very girly, but fabulous. There is a simple joy in smelling this, an elementary delight. Very floral, a transparent rose, slightly sour wet wood, a beautiful drydown. Celestial. My favourite perfume.
