    Strong, leaning towards wild. But absolutely original, dry, and stylish. If you get used to applying just a tiny dab, the result is stunning and mysterious.

  • Alongside Miss Charming, the masterpiece by genius Francis Kurkdjian, this was Juliette Has a Gun’s debut and has already become a classic. At first, I thought it was just a simple blend of rose and patchouli, but over time I discovered musky, powdery, and woody nuances, with a dirty edge that makes it feel real, green, and earthy, connecting with that enigmatic vegetal note that has always fascinated me. Sometimes the rose is so real it almost feels like you could get pricked by thorns! It’s very similar to Voleur de Roses by L’Artisan Parfumeur (and smells just as expensive), though less fruity and oriental. These are opulent, ‘mature’ roses—nothing about brides or cleanliness, but fresh and wild as Sisiruperte says. It’s fascinating: sometimes delicate, other times wild with the audacity of its name, sensual and dark, almost gothic. Of all the roses from this house, I keep this one and Midnight Oud, Juliette’s most deadly weapons.

  • Sweet, innocent girls, stay away from Lady Vengeance. This fragrance is more for strong, edgy women who wear leather and listen to hard rock. Upon trying it, ‘Ma Dame Eau de parfum’ by Gaultier came to mind. Roses with patchouli, specifically black roses and dirty patchouli. Granted, Gaultier’s is (or was) a beast in performance, but JHAG’s doesn’t fall short: you have to put on very little to flood your surroundings. The clearest difference is the background; here it’s quite dusty, whereas Ma Dame was metallic. Something confused me: I was told it smelled great, but that my perfume had a vintage touch. It’s true, and I don’t know what to attribute it to. I like it for when I go out at night, dressed in black, with heels and a burgundy lipstick. I don’t see it for daily use.

Granted, Gaultier’s is (or was) a beast in performance, but JHAG doesn’t fall short: you have to apply very little to flood your surroundings. The clearest difference is the dry down: here it’s powdery, whereas Ma Dame was metallic. One thing confused me: people told me it smelled great, but that my perfume had a vintage touch. The thing is, it’s true, and I’m not sure what to attribute it to. I like it for going out at night, dressed in black, with heels and a burgundy lipstick. I don’t see it for everyday wear.

    Vengeance… Smelling like this fits only the theoretical plan of a revenge that went through many mental loops but, controlled by laziness, never happened. I remember in the 80s my grandmother had a friend, a strong woman who radiated balance, bourgeois opulence, comfort, and good manners. She smelled exactly like Lady Vengeance. It makes me feel well-being and satisfied indifference. Where is the conspiratorial buzz, the fanatical passion that would torment the avenger? Maybe it’s hidden in the scent of Bulgarian rose, Moroccan rose (the most peaceful country of the ‘Moors’), lavender, vanilla, or the ‘wicked’ bergamot. What a laugh! When the perfume relaxes, I’m reminded of Hermès’ Des Merveilles plus the trail of a men’s cologne from the 70s-80s.

    Speaking of vengeance… Smelling like this can only be the theoretical revenge plan that went through many mental loops but, controlled by laziness, was never carried out. I remember in the 80s my grandmother had a friend, a woman of strong constitution who conveyed emotional balance, lower-middle bourgeois opulence, comfort, and good manners. She smelled exactly like ‘Lady Vengeance’. This perfume infects me with well-being and satiated indifference. Where is the adrenaline of the conspiracy, the blind fanatical passion that would torment the avenger? Perhaps it’s hidden in the Bulgarian rose, Moroccan rose (the most peaceful of all ‘Moors’), lavender, vanilla, or the ‘evil’ bergamot. What a laugh! When the perfume relaxes, it hints at the Des Merveilles line from Hermès, more so than the men’s cologne sillage from the 70s-80s.

  • With this Romano Ricci fragrance, perfumed by Francis Kurkdjian, they aim to portray ‘a woman who leaves a rich and sophisticated trail, undeniably feminine, confident, and divinely sensual.’ In my opinion, they achieve it, even if it’s not an especially original composition nor leaning heavily into sexy or flashy territory. Lady Vengeance isn’t for me a fragrance to wear at night, but rather a perfect perfume for a work environment or business meeting. Its name certainly evokes a much bolder, mischievous scent for me, but it’s not that for me. It smells floral, dominated by a modernized, powdery, elegant, discreet, slightly sweet, and clean rose—certainly nothing loud and very respectful of others sharing the space. Patchouli stands out in the background, reminding me of Perles de Lalique, though the latter feels less discreet (but I like it more overall given my addiction to fragrances with strong presence). Like with other perfumes from this house, I need to apply generously to get a good trail, but doing so, its longevity on my skin is very good, around 9-10 hours, perfect for a workday. It’s a fragrance I’ve liked for daily office use. Although this brand usually doesn’t grab me creatively, I consider it a perfume that, if I find it at designer prices instead of niche prices (as I’ve seen sometimes on Notino), I could include in my collection for work environments.

    My favorite from this house so far. Dark, dusty roses, a femme fatale aroma, when you want to feel sexy and powerful. I recommend it for night and cold weather, which is when it develops best. On me, it has good longevity, and I keep it like gold in a safe due to its high cost.

  • They say Iso E Super comes and goes, but in my case, it just goes. I have this perfume that cost me 120 euros in a store and it lasts as long as a yawn. What a shame.

  • It’s super attractive and delicious! Its character is refined without being pretentious. It’s gorgeous and very personal. I bought it blind because it’s not well known or found in perfumeries in Argentina; I got lucky, and it was a good reward for the risk. What a pity it’s no longer available and I can’t restock it.

  • If I think of a perfume called ‘Lady Vengeance’, I imagine deep roses, earthy patchouli, an animalic musk touch, and a spicy opening like pink pepper. It should last forever because vengeance is served cold, but when you smell it, you can’t take it off. In reality, it opens with sweet, clean roses, almost like Narciso Rodríguez without the peach, then settles into dusty rose. The patchouli is minimal and clean. It smells good and feminine, ideal for mild days, but calling it Lady Vengeance is misleading; there’s no trace of cold rage. And it lasts less than 4 hours! JHAG needs a better copywriter. After saving my hopes, I’ll have to look for a substitute for Midnight Poison. Pleasant: 6/10 Interesting: 3/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 3/10

  • I love it. Smells like dusty roses, subtle yet deep. Wearing it gives me peace and sets it apart from the ordinary; it’s not for teenagers. It’s not light on the skin, but since it doesn’t project much, it doesn’t bother anyone, just sits there. It’s the best from this house alongside Another Oud, without a doubt.

  • I can’t stand this perfume on its own. And I love the smell of roses, but it has a note that grates on me. That said, when layered with Not a Perfume Superdose… pure magic. When the ambroxan molecule soaks into the roses, the powdery touch becomes even more present, and for me, this combination turns a fragrance I repel into one I’m fascinated by. Of course, every nose is a world; but I don’t recommend buying it blindly. When I finish mine, I’m not repeating Lady Vengeance. I could never be without the Not a Perfume.

  • I can’t stand this perfume on its own. And I love rose scents, but it has a note that grates on me. That said, when layered with Not a Perfume Superdose… pure magic.

Of course, every nose is a world; but I don’t recommend buying it blindly. When I run out, I’m not repeating Lady Vengeance. I could never be without Not a Perfume.

  • No, no, no, this is not for me, not at all. Besides giving me familiarity, it has a vintage aftertaste that makes me scrunch my nose. The opening is a sour bomb that almost made me go gray. It lingers to give way to those powdery notes, which are… well, not great either. I feel bad for its fans, but this Lady Vengeance gives me that Sunday afternoon slump; it feels 90s and old-fashioned, but in a bad way. Those occasional sharp little explosions I can’t pinpoint remind me of a bland iceberg salad with a splash of grape vinegar. Now and then, a dying flash escapes that my synesthesia makes me see as morose and purple, from a dusty rose trying to say: ‘look at me, I’m not so bad,’ but there’s no way. I’ve already run away, Juliette, see you later!

  • Nah, nah, nah, this is not for me, not at all. Besides being familiar, it has a vintage vibe that makes me scrunch my nose. The opening is a vinegar bomb that almost made me cry. It settles down to reveal those powdery notes, which, well… not great either. I feel bad for its fans, but this Lady Vengeance gives me Sunday blues; it feels 90s and old-fashioned, but in a bad way. Its sharp mini-explosions remind me of a bland iceberg salad with a splash of vinegar. Occasionally, a dying flash escapes that synesthesia makes me see as morbidly purple and moody, from a talcum-dusted rose trying to say: ‘look at me, I’m not so bad,’ but there’s no way. I’ve already run away, Juliette, see you later!

  • I was expecting a rock-and-roll, dark fragrance, and instead JHAG plays me again with their ‘ambroxan with stuff’ formula. The rose-ambroxan-Iso E-patchouli combination results in a cold, moldy church crypt, a gloomy funeral, and wilted flower bouquets. Fortunately, it doesn’t last long; longevity is minimal (the only thing left after a couple of hours is the unbearable ambroxan, with no trace of the roses), and hardly anyone will notice you’re wearing it. Definitely, JHAG is not my go-to perfume house.

  • I expected a rocker and dark fragrance, and it turns out JHAG is pulling my leg again with its ‘ambroxan with stuff.’ The rose-ambroxan-ISO E super patchouli combination results in a cold, moldy church crypt, a sad funeral, and bunches of wilted flowers. Fortunately, it doesn’t last long; longevity is minimal (the only thing remaining after a couple of hours is the insufferable ambroxan, with zero trace of the roses), and hardly anyone will notice you’re wearing it. Definitely, JHAG is not remotely my go-to perfumerie.

  • VIVIANA_GEO_PATAGONIA

    If you don’t like patchouli, this isn’t for you. I absolutely love it, perfect for nightwear. Definitely not for women who want to act like brats.

  • VIVIANA_GEO_PATAGONIA

    If you don’t like patchouli, this won’t be your perfume. I love it. It’s for night wear. Not suitable for women who want to act like little girls.

  • Amelia Drako

    If you want to know what Dior’s Gris smells like, this is your option. I have a mini of the Gris, and when I heard Lady Vengeance, it reminded me 90% of that one.

  • Smells like my 90s grandma selling Avon. Out of everything I’ve tried, this is the most unique because ambroxan doesn’t dominate. It smells like talc and roses, with ylang ylang notes making it overly sweet and cloying, like a refined lady. Reminds me of Passion Gitana. It lasts several hours and is a bit overwhelming, though it softens over time. Projection is medium, but the trail is powerful when walking. Definitely not for me, luckily I only have a sample.

  • Smells like my 90s Avon-selling grandma. I’ve tried many from the brand, and this is the most different because the ambroxan isn’t as dominant. It smells like talcum powder, roses, and I detect Ylang Ylang notes… the result is too sweet and cloying, like a refined lady. It reminds me of Avon’s Passion Gitana. It lasts several hours and is a bit overpowering. Although it softens over time, the projection is moderate but the sillage is potent. Definitely not for me, luckily I only have a sample.

  • Angelique137

    This definitely won’t be my perfume… at first, I couldn’t stop sneezing. Then it smells like strong, vintage rose, which is what I thought my grandma smelled like when I was a kid. Once it dries down, it leaves a rich skin scent, but it’s not what I’m looking for in a fragrance. It smells like talcum powder and roses, with notes of Ylang Ylang… the result is too sweet and cloying, like a refined lady. It reminds me of Avon’s Passion Gitana. It lasts several hours and is a bit overpowering. It softens over time, but the projection is moderate while the sillage is potent. Definitely not for me, luckily I only have a sample.

  • Angelique137

    This definitely won’t be my perfume… at first, I couldn’t help sneezing for a bit. Then that strong vintage rose scent, which as a girl I thought was my grandma’s perfume. Once it dries down, it leaves a nice skin scent, but let’s just say I’m not choosing a perfume for that.

  • Lady Vengeance is pure conceptual art. To truly understand it, you need to watch the 2005 film ‘Lady Vengeance’ by Park Chan-wook. The protagonist is the inspiration. Francis Kurkdjian knew exactly what he was doing when creating this jewel. It smells like a woman who has lived enough to go to hell and come back for revenge. It’s not for ‘girly’ or sweet girls. It’s for those who know that red lipstick and this perfume are the perfect complement to their personality. It’s not about pretending to be a diva, it’s about BEING one. You might love it or hate it, but it’s undeniable: it’s a piece of cinema turned into perfume.

  • Lady of Revenge: Juliet has a weapon. A suggestive name that takes the Shakespearean character and a gun as a metaphor for empowerment. Nina Ricci’s grandson takes a risk with this line, backed by Francis Kurkdjian. It returns with that signature rose and white musk accord, but here the rose is doubly the star—faceted and spicy. Rumor has it was inspired by Park Chan-wook’s film ‘Lady Vengeance,’ a powerful and mysterious woman seeking justice. The perfume opens with sweet bergamot, then gets stained with earthy patchouli and the rose with its thorns. Ambroxan adds a deep but subtle animal touch, while Iso E Super keeps that silky texture without sinking into total darkness. High quality, an interesting blend with its own identity. Great projection and longevity.

  • ChikisCruz

    A perfume that says ‘YES’ unequivocally—flawless, bold, and full of personality. I wore it to my wedding and it lasted over 10 hours on my skin. It’s not for everyone; you need to know how to wear it. Some say the rose and lavender notes make it feel ‘grandma-like,’ but I find it adds a touch of class. Starts fresh and clean floral, then evolves into something darker, like incense, earth, and sandalwood. A dark aura that only complements people with strong personalities. Smart buy, 10/10.
