Fragrance Review: Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume

  Today I will be reviewing Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume.

Availability: This can be purchased at sephora.com along with its physical store locations (I would call ahead to make sure your location has it if you want) as well as at us.juliettehasagun.com. This is available in the following options: 7.5 mL - $34, 50 mL - $115, 100 mL - $150, 200 mL - $200.
Would I buy this again?: Probably not. 
Notes: According to fragrantica.com, the scent notes in this perfume are: 
Ambroxan and Cetalox
Initially applied, it smells fresh and musky, it's almost slightly masculine and smells what I imagine a thoroughly showered man would smell like directly out of the shower. As the scent dries down, the more amber-like, powdery notes start taking effect. This strikes me as a bit strange because if I just sniff the bottle, it has a sweetness to it and the longer it sits on me, the more it starts pulling that sort of sweet note to it. That being said, this is a bit of a gimmicky perfume that's meant to sort of "enhance" your natural scent and I already know from experience that perfumes tend to pull sweeter on me versus, say, my mom.. Hence why I like floral fragrances where I can get that freshness of the floral with the sweetness that comes out on my skin. The longer this sits on me, the more it smells like some sort of sweet, cozy, musk. There's a sense of like, some warm, fluffy article of clothing that's been laundered and then worn and it smells like me in a way that might bring comfort to the right person or pet. I think if I were looking for a "fresh" or non-offensive type of scent  this would be a good option but I still prefer my fruity florals. 
In terms of wear, I had this on for just around 8 hours and can still faintly smell a sweet muskiness that again, just gives clean skin vibes.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.
