French niche line Juliette Has A Gun has launched White Spirit, a new fragrance in their Luxury Collection.
Opposite sides, minimalistic and sensual, that observe each other before attraction
A floral bouquet that behind his early youth tunes reveals its true colors. A combination of sambac jasmine, extract of tuberose with sandalwood and ambroxan. Two olfactory worlds that collide, but who eventually meet ends on a white bed. [sic]
Notes for the woody floral include jasmine, tuberose, ambrox, lactone, amber, cedar, musk and sandalwood.
Juliette Has A Gun White Spirit is available at Nose in France, in 75 ml, €220.

I liked the names of the early fragrances. The last few are just sort of lame, IMO.
Totally with you on that. Also think the packaging for the “luxury” collection is distinctly less luxurious than the regular JHAG packaging.
Uh oh. Name fail.

Ha!
I really like Citizen Queen and I don’t love aldehydes. JHaG and Midnight Oud were pretty good and they came before rose/patchouli and rose/oud were completely played out. I like the bottles, they look great together and they’re relatively affordable. However, I don’t understand his continued thing with ambroxan, whatever olfactory worlds colliding on a white bed could possibly mean, and €220 ($237.32) for 75ml boggles my mind. It seems like he’s trying to move into Killian territory with this luxury line and the bottles even look alike.
Except Kilian’s look nicer, I think?
And pretty sure Nose uses machine translation for their English site, so betting that it means something more sensible in French.
I do think the Killian bottles and lacquer box are prettier. I guess the similarly shaped bottle, hinged box and price are what made me think of Killian. It’s too bad they couldn’t come up with something for their “luxury” line that’s closer to the house style. I really like the round velvet boxes and heavy, opaque bottles.
I am actually a fan of JHAG. The two fragrances from this line that I have tried and loved are “Lady Vengeance” and “Romantica”. I have learned from this line that you can’t judge a book by its cover, and that’s what I originally did. I was so wrong. So, even though “White Spirit” is an unusual name and the packaging is off for this brand, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt. JHAG hasn’t disappointed for me yet. 🙂
