Let's break down the most popular scents, starting with the luxury brand's newest Lust for Sun launch!
Best Juliette Has a Gun Perfumes

We'd describe it as:
Who better to describe this warm and summer-evoking scent than Adore Beauty's Junior Fragrance and Makeup Category Manager, Liz who says, "I reckon I just saved $2k on flights to Europe because this is a Euro Vacay in a bottle!!
"Lust for Sun" opens with a freshly-squeezed burst of Italian citrus and a slosh of coconut, then warms up on your skin with a heady wash of oh-so-feminine jasmine and gardenia before settling into a balmy-summer-night sultry vanilla and white musk.
Spritz liberally - and accompany with an Aperol Spritz."

3. Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume.
- The best-selling molecular fragrance made up of one note.

We'd describe it as:
The fragrance you wear when you don't want to smell like anyone else in the world. Yes, it's divisive - you'll either love it hard or hate it - but that's what makes it so bloody good. Wear this if you want to be known for your signature scent.
4. Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume Superdose.
- The supercharged version of the best-selling Juliette Has A Gun fragrance.
- Again, only contains Cetalox, but just more of it for an even more powerful scent.

We'd describe it as:
Everything you love about the original Not A Perfume, but 1,000 per cent more intoxicating. It's woody and musky, and even though it's not a traditionally sexy perfume, it might be the sexiest scent we've ever smelt.
