As the cherry perfume craze continues, Romano Ricci’s latest creation, ‘Juliette,’ arrives just in time for summer—a bold, juicy fragrance that’s irresistibly flirtatious.

 Europerfumes, the USA distributor hosted a lavish rooftop bash at Hotel Chantelle in New York City to mark their latest fragrance debut, with Romano Ricci jetting in from Paris to join the celebration. Cocktails curated to complement the fragrance lit up the night—from the Juliette-inspired cherry Bellinis to the fiery Red N’ Spicy mix of tequila, hibiscus, and Cointreau. It was an unforgettable evening of sipping and spritzing for all the dedicated brand lovers and perfume connoisseurs.

Now what does Juliette smell like? At the heart of Juliette, a unique blend of dark cherry, pink pepper, and an overdose of Cashmeran takes the lead, creating a dance of the sensual and the modern. These elements transform the deep, dark cherry into something profoundly sensual, with a sillage that boldly announces its presence.

Yet, amidst these robust notes lies a delicate Jasmine absolute—though calling it floral would not do it justice. It’s more a nuanced fruity-floral, crafted with sophistication, elegance, and a touch of provocation. Juliette has a Gun Juliette is designed for those who lean towards fruity fragrances yet appreciate a dash of woody restraint. It’s sweet and slightly floral but has a sturdy backbone, making it ideal for a romantic rendezvous. It’s a fragrance that likes to lead and insists on having everything its way.

The intrigue around this launch was palpable, considering how integral the name ”Juliette” has become to the brand’s DNA. I was eager to see how Romano would weave the house’s storied legacy into this new fragrance while demonstrating its ability to stay on top of contemporary trends. Juliette needed to be at once feminine and masculine, both approachable and mystifying enough to seduce the senses. The result hits all these marks with aplomb. It embodies the intensity of a style that has swept from the runways into our fragrance collections, echoing the red and burgundy vampiness that has dominated recent fashion. And yet, like all Juliette Has a Gun releases, it remains accessible and straightforward. You won’t have to guess with any of the perfumes from this house, and it’s a calibrated move, not a mistake. It serves as a perfect gateway into niche perfumery—a segment that has evolved into a broader, more accessible category known for its artistic and innovative edge.

Notes: Dark Cherry, Pink Pepper, Cashmere Flower, Jasmine Absolute, Ambroxan, Tonka Bean.

    Cherry is a note that is underrepresented in my collection for sure, so I would love to get the chance to sniff this one. I don’t own any other Juliettes, unfortunately, so I can’t say I have a favorite, but I have enjoyed the ones I’ve smelled!
    Also: until I read Michelyn’s interview, i had no idea Romano Ricci was related to Nina Ricci! Here’s a quote I liked:
    “A universe, lost between romance and desire of independence. Juliette is armed because she affirms her personality. Juliette stands for the romantic heroine of Shakespeare; the ’gun’ is her weapon of seduction… her perfume of course.”

  • Ramses Perez says:

    The cherry craze really shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon! Based on the notes and Olya’s review, this one looks like a darker/deeper cherry scent, and not the typical fruity/tropical cherry you see in other fragrances. Cherry is so aesthetically pleasing too and red happens to be my favorite color so anything red-like, I will be intrigued. Yes, J agree this is more unisex rather and leaning more towards a specific genre. I think Juliette Has A Gun has a hit on their hands with Juliette. Haha. I’m not too familiar with this house but I will be smelling two of their fragrances soon I’m hoping to like (Vanilla Vibes and Not A Perfume). Cheers from USA.

  • Teresa C says:

    I”m not normally a fruity floral wearer, but the description makes this sound more elevated and nuanced than the usual fragrance that takes that name. Definitely sounds intriguing! I am still experimenting with Juliette Has a Gun and haven’t decided on a favorite yet.

  • jlsteckley says:

    My wife loves Juliette Has A Gun fragrances and a cherry scent isn’t represented in her collection. I’d love to win this for her. And just I’m time for Mother’s Day! The scent sounds absolutely amazing. Cherry, Tonka bean, mmmm.

  • phuongmtran says:

    I appreciate that Juliette is a cherry fragrance with delicate fruity and woody notes. Would love to try it. My favorite JHAG would be Sunny Side Up. I am in CA, USA.

    Juliette is armed because she affirms her personality. Juliette stands for the romantic heroine of Shakespeare; the ’gun’ is her weapon of seduction… her perfume of course.

  • WillRhodes says:

    I got my nose on this a couple weeks ago and found it to be such a nice soft dark cherry and very wearable with its cashmere and Tonka to add a bit of warmth and coziness to it. I really enjoy this one and would love to have a full bottle.

    I’m a JHAG fan. I love Not a Perfume and the dark cherry, ambroxan and tonka bean combo in Juliette sounds really nice. MD, USA.

  • Maryjean says:

    Love Olya’s review. This sounds wonderful for Summertime. I have the Pear Fragrance. Michelyn’s Interview was interesting. I learned so much more about this brand . “He is the great grandson of the legendary Nina Ricci and grandson to Robert Ricci, which is the equivalent to rock royalty in the fragrance world (Juliette has a Gun sounds more like an rock band than a perfume company” Thank you for this chance USA

  • deeshla says:

    I was interested in the focus on youth in this review.
    My favorite from this brand is Pear, Inc.
    Here’s the quote I loved simply because it beautifully explained the name (and spirit!) of the brand:
    “Juliette is armed because she affirms her personality. Juliette stands for the romantic heroine of Shakespeare; the ’gun’ is her weapon of seduction… her perfume of course.”

  • Arron_Q says:

    I love cherry frags and this one sounds delightfully juicy. I like the idea of an overdose of cashmeran and tonka in the base. Cherry often pairs so well with woody notes (Room 1015 Cherry Punk is a prime example), and I’m keen to see how this one plays out. Also, that bottle is so freakin’ gorgeous! Best of luck to all. I live in NC, USA.

  • INYA says:

    I enjoy Lady Vengeance! Cherry is a note I love in perfumery. I agree that Juliette Has A Gun is “a perfect gateway into niche perfumery.” I liked- RR: “Very few things are more rewarding then when your industry congratulates you about what you did. So really great actually.” Thanks for another awesome draw. Michigan USA

  • realtyisme says:

    Olya, you always find a way to capture my attention on your fragrance articles. The notes in this one definitely support a scent I’d wear for a “romantic rendezvous” 🙂
    It’s hard for me to narrow my favorite to this house, there are quite a few I really like….but if I had to narrow it..hmmm…I think it would be a tie between Not A Perfume Superdose and Another Oud.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    Bring on more cherry!! I’m sure this Juliette has a Gun has done amazing things with this (some may think) overused note. I would say this line is accessible and straightforward, but not general like a lot of department store offerings. My favorite of the line is Mmmmm. “At age 10, my grandfather taught me how to recognize the different notes…..” love those family memories! Thanks Twisted Lily for the chance. USA.

  • Kelly Atwood says:

    I’ve been so excited to sniff this..super intrigued by the cashmeran blended with dark cherry!

  • dLin says:

    Cashmeran is a new note for me so definitely interested to seeing how it can impacts a fragrance. Despite seeing so many cherry tasting candies and foods, surprisingly this is one of my few times seeing it in a fragrance. Olya’s overall description of the fruity-floral and sophistication is very appealing and current favorite is Magnolia Bliss. “Very few things are more rewarding then when your industry congratulates you about what you did”

    Excellent review… My mother favorite scent is cherry and this JHAG interpretation will be a great gift for her in Mother’s Day!

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the great review Olya!

    Doesn’t Romano Ricii look like a younger Jack Nicholson?

    The mix of dark cherry, pink pepper, cashmeran and florals is really intriguing. I cannot fathom how this might smell and I’m really curious to sample it.

    This does sound like a very accessible fragrance, considering the notes.

    I have not smelt anything from this house.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Froaderick says:

    Interested in getting my nose (and tbh, my much-prettier half’s nose) on this! Jasmine absolute underpinning my dark cherry sounds divine, and embodies that approachable yet mystifying sensation Olya describes. Lady Vengeance has been a fave so far, and always looking for more inspiring fragrances. Cheers from Ohio! 🙂

  • megs303 says:

    This review appealed to me because I like juicy fruity fragrances balanced with a touch of woodiness. From the interview I learned of how the house is named: “ Juliette is armed because she affirms her personality. Juliette stands for the romantic heroine of Shakespeare; the ’gun’ is her weapon of seduction… her perfume of course.” Would love to own a bottle from this brand. Thank you! I’m in the USA.

  • mmerline says:

    The interaction of bold cherry and subtle jasmine absolute is an interesting choice here. I hope the cherry note leans towards the tart and tangy, and the jasmine has some endurance, to make Juliette a little more accessible.

    I’m in the midwest, USA.

  • foreverscents says:

    I am still enjoying all the cherry fragrances that have been released over the past few years, and Juliette sounds like one of the best. The jasmine and tonka notes surely will give this fragrance a strong backbone.
    I enjoyed reading Michelyn’s interview with Romano Ricci. I like this quote: “Very few things are more rewarding than when your industry congratulates you about what you did.”

  • Crystal Appleton says:

    As someone who enjoys fragrance to the fullest.. I truly appreciate the artistry that goes into a brand as well as each fragrance. As Romano Ricci said in his interview… ‘Each fragrance corresponds to a facet of Juliette. Every year a different side of her personality is presented’…. The new launch takes on a whole new aspect. This must be where Juliette takes control by making her presence known. My imagination goes wild after reading Olya’s in depth review of the fragrance & thinking back on the interview with Romano. I am so intrigued & feel like this one will speak to me on another level. JHAG has really been hitting hard with their last few releases & I have become a huge fan!

  • Amanda32828 says:

    I enjoyed very much reading this review. I think Olya’s review provided a lot of information about this new creation from the brand. I have to say that from this brand my favorite was the iconic Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume, but going for what I have read here, I believe this cherrie version to be very promising and delicious.
