I also like the personal quality that this fragrance has (I'm not exactly sure what I mean by that). It's something I'm used to getting with oils more often than proper perfumes. Maybe it's the patchouli - I find most fragrances with patchouli bases to work really well with my body chemistry.
This is beautiful! Very sensual, seductive, enigmatic, womanly but youthful, with none of the notes overpowering the others. It's just floral enough, sweet enough, and sultry enough. It's something my late mom would have worn, but I loved her taste in perfume! I mistakenly thought I disliked rose for quite awhile (maybe some outdated grandmother association) and am just starting to get into it. Thank you for introducing this fragrance to us YouTube fumeheads!
I tried this, and loved it! I'm a 19 y.o. college student, and have been wearing this around a guy I'm really interested in. Would you recommend Lady Vengeance as a good choice to to get some good attention. I know guys are different when it comes to smell, and while this Lady Vengeance makes a great impression -- I don't want said impression to be too overwhelming, even though we run into each other around late evening, =). Thanks!
i just bought it today - $136 in australian dollars! [and the AUD is higher than the USD!!!!!!!!!] anyway, so worth it. im going to buy the 'not a frangrance' next. it smells like amber/wood/fig on my skin. like a g-rated womanity
Katie, can you do JHG "Not a Parfum"? Or can you tell me what you think? I tried both Lady Vengance and Not a Parfum — I couldn't stop smelling my wrists.
@stinakennedy Not a Perfume is a soft, pear-inflected, sheer, vaguely woody/musky scent. It's made of pure ambroxan, an aromachemical which provides a more of an aura than a smell. It's a really pleasing scent.
@KatiePuckrikSmells That's it on the nose ; ) It IS more of an aura than a smell. I HAVE to have it. — it'll be my end of summer gift to me! Thanks Katie
I purchased 13 samples from Lucky Scent after watching your reviews. I just tried the Lady Vengeance today. Absolutely best way to describe is your words a youthful va-va-voom!!!!!!! Will be purchasing this and still looking into your other recommends. I'm planning on going to smell at Nordstrom on Black Friday...eek....
I finally smelled something from this house, Calamity J. Definitely unisex. I like it a lot. ...and I like amber, so it's no surprise. I pooped a review of it.
I'll have to check out LV for my bride. Thanks for the review, Katie.
@Kerosenetrewthe Calamity J is for sure unisex. I like that you call your wife your "bride". Does she call you her "groom"? Not quite the same ring to it.
@Sevipants19 Do you mean samples of the other Juliette Has a Gun perfumes? The other ones are pretty different to Miss C and Lady V. Citizen Queen heavy on the aldehydes, and a leather rose; Midnight Oud is rose/saffron/oud/geranium, a bolder, woodier rose; Calamity J doesn't have rose at all - it's patchouli and iris and amber - a soft, spicy number. They're all great, but I think my personal faves are Midnight Oud (I've got a bottle of that) and Lady V.
Everything from the Juliette line smells really interesting, sort of traditional but with a twist, but Lady Vengeance resonates the most with me. It's so pretty without being frilly. I just got a sample of Calamity J, have you tried that one? It's sort of leathery tobacco-y vanilla on me, none of the rosiness that I expect from the Juliettes.
@35M40 I completely agree: "trad with a twist". I was just playing around with Calamity J today, and I'm not completely sold on that one. (You're right, no roses in this one.) It's the kind of smell I like, with the patchouli and amber and not too frilly-dilly girly, but it seems a bit unfinished, or not quite enough one thing or the other. I think I have perfumes in the same vein that I love more, so I'm probably not giving it enough of a chance!
@KatiePuckrikSmells Katie- I feel the same way about Calamity. I love to wear Back to Black with Calamity J. I like to spray a little Calamity on my neck and then spray some BTB on my arms. They smell amazing together.
I've been using my sample of Lady Vengeance from luckyscent for about a week now and I'm loving it! It's beautiful and sexy and fiance approved :op My sample is of the EDP, but there is also a perume oil (roller-ball) available. Have you tried it? If so, how different is it from the EDP concentration?
Bonus that the man likes it, too! I have tried the perfume oil version of Lady V, and I'm surprised to find that I prefer the EdP. The oil smells soapier, not as nuanced as the EdP.
Hmmm...soapier? I definitely don't want soapier! :op Looks like I'll stick to the EdP when I'm ready to buy a full bottle. My sample is almost out, so it'll be soon! Luckyscent doesn't offer samples of the perfume oil, so it's nice to be able to get insight from someone who has tried it. Thanks for the info Katie! :o)
I am a 21 year old college student and this sounds great for date night, but what I really want to know is if this can be an appropriate "day" fragrance? I'm thinking that I should maybe stick to Stella for my "day" rose, but I trust your perfume instincts more than my own : )
Hmm, good question! I just went to sniff my bottle of Lady Vengeance, and it does seem more of a "production" than a casual, everyday scent. But it's not as hoop-de-doo as something big like Dior Hypnotic Poison or Gucci Rush or that ever-lovin' Angel, God bless 'er! When in doubt, a lighter application for daytime is a safe bet. But day or night, Lady V is beautiful!
If you don't overdose it, it will be just fine;). I'm wearing Lady Vengeance right now (for the firt time) and it doesn't smell too "heavy". Or maybe it's just on my skin... Try to test it, then you'll know:).
Thank you for making me discover Estée Lauder Amber Ylang-Ylang, Katie. I love it. I also really like Carolina Herrera's HC, but it disappears on me after a while...or maybe I just stop smelling it. Do you know HC? And, admit it...you were an English major! :)
Lady V has a completely different make-up to Youth Dew or Poison. Youth Dew is a spicy oriental with cinnamon & clove mixed in with rose, moss, amber & patchouli. Poison is a loud floral oriental: tuberose & jasmine. Both are very strong. Lady Vengeance is much softer and sweeter than either - and also simpler. It's a buttery rose with lightly smoky patchouli, and has a more youthful feel.
Lately, I have been craving a new rose fragrance, and one of the candidates is Lady Vengeance. Although I loved your review, now I am wondering whether I can pull this one off or not. I have not sampled it yet, but... Dita von Teese? all curves, no survivors? Well, this promises to be a definite 'no' or something very kinky... rose poivree kind of kinky >:D
I'm not convinced Lady V is quite right for Les Dudes - the patchouli isn't assertive enough to take the rose & caramel into Man Land. And whether or not it's "kinky", it certainly isn't TDC Rose Poivrée "stinky": no body-odor intrigue for this Lady! If you've been craving a new rose, might I direct you to Czech & Speake Dark Rose, recently reissued? And I'm hot to trot for my latest score, People of the Labyrinths A*MAZE parfum. And I can't wait to smell the new JHG, Midnight Oud!
I enjoyed watching this video. You can bring a sense of personality and character to these fragrances beyond anything I would have imagined, as a man.
The only Juliette Has A Gun I've tried is Miss Charming, which was pretty, but rather dull. How does Lady Vengeance compare to L'Artisan Voleur de Roses (which I find a bit too harsh)?
I agree with you on Voleur de Roses - I love the idea of rose, plum and patchouli, but with VdR the execution is a bit thin - maybe more of a sketch for a future fragrance. Lady Vengeance is much more buttery, lush and feminine than VdR. There's a gourmand aspect to it, whereas VdR stays firmly on the woody side of the rose.
Miss Charming is VERY pretty, but it doesn't have the sultry swagger of Lady Vengeance, that's for sure!
Hmm ... for some reason - the description of this kinda reminds me of my new perfume I just bought. While I know the two smells of these are different.. the images are kinda similar in my mind.
If you could do a review of Paco Rabanne's Black XS for Her, I would be very pleased indeed ;)
Wow, after hearing the description of this perfume, I want to buy a corset. I think I know what my next lucky scent order will be.
I have a dirty little secret to confess. I've never actually bought a perfume from LS, just samples. I realize it's more expensive in the long run, but I'm just not ready to commit yet, and there's such a big fragrance world out there to see!
I was just in the LuckyScent shop today - Scent Bar. You are so right that there's a big fragrance world out there - I think I sprayed about 5 things on me! And it was my second perfume store of the day. I had to have a bath to wash the first perfume shop's findings off of me!
Full-on incense: Comme de Garçons Incense series (try all 5) Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant (smoky, rich) LArtisan Parfumeur Passage dEnfer (sharp, clean) Giorgio Armani Onde Mystère (deep, rich) Etro Messe de Minuit (dank, spiced-orangey) Incense as supporting player: Miller Harris Fleur Oriental (a less vanilla Shalimar with more incense) Kenzo Amour Indian Holi (cherry & musky) Lolita Lempicka Fleur de Corail (woody, sweet, hint of nag champa) Prada Infusion d'Iris (subtle, light)
Hey Katie! Do you have any recommendations for a vanilla scent that isn't too sugary sweet or too little girl? I love Bath and Body Works' Vanilla Noir, but their scents just vanish within the hour...
Have just discovered some great straight-ahead vanillas for you that I'm excited about by La Maison de la Vanille. The whole line does vanillas beautifully, without that artificial or plasticky smell vanilla fragrances can sometimes have. My favorites are:
Vanilla Sauvage de Madagascar (perfect grown-up vanilla, not too sugary)
Vanille Givrée des Antilles (vanilla with some soft woody florals)
Last night I was at Sephora, and I wanted to actually smell all these scents you described. What I was not expecting was to fall in love! On the bottom shelf, hiding away, was Lolita Lempicka. Have you tried this one? I sprayed it on my skin and it was AMAZING. It smells as whimsical as the bottle appears, and surprise surprise - One of the key notes is vanilla! It also has a light musk to it, and a tangy hint of anise under the violet and iris. Classic, but not dated!
Always happy to hear when people fall in fume-love! Lolita Lempicka is a quirky modern classic, and I didn't think to recommend it to you because the anise and complexity takes it further away from your Bath & Bodyworks Vanilla Noir starting point. But I'm glad you discovered this one.
Another more classic amber/vanilla I wanted to point you towards is Estée Lauder Amber Ylang-Ylang.
I love your exuberance for the odorous lines I've never knew existed! I will definitely try this scent and others after watching these vids. Thank you, thank you.
It's hard to tell from the pic, but I've got a bottle here, and it's actually really beautiful and feminine, in a goth kind of way. The bottle itself is heavy matte black ceramic with shiny curly-cues all over it. The bottom has an etched-out indentation, and the cap is solid glass with "Juliette Has a Gun" etched into it. The whole bottle feels heavy and expensive.
you made me wanna buy it.. and the way u described white oud by montale or flower by kenzo oh my god!right on the money! reason i mentioned those 2 cuz they're the only ones i own of the stuff u reviewed!
I wore Stella to a store and a guy said, "Your perfume really smells good." As I was leaving he said, "I mean... it REALLY smells good." He was not interested in my type so I know it was not a come on but the perfume. You can get it from Sephora if they ship overseas.
I'll try that. That perfume just makes me feel sexy, it changes the way I look at people even... Perfume is a very poweful thing and that one to me, is magic :)
yes and since stella is kind of a velvety rose scent that not the "old lady rose perfume" it makes people feel warm inside and sexy on the outside. I'm glad stella is on your "to do" list. What about YSL Baby Doll? Do they still make it? I used to love it nearly as much as I love stella
Perfect timing, just looking for a good review and here you are! Katie Puckrik smells! I usually don't do rose... you just made this sound so tantalizing!
Good on ya for branching out. Here's a bunch of things I love smelling - try them out and see which suits you: Woody scents: Hermès Terre d'Hermès Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant Christian Dior Homme Tom Ford For Men Extreme Chanel Égoïste (not the Platinum version) Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Man Prada Infusion dIris: marketed for women, but its very unisex, I prefer it to mens version Bulgari Black Kenzo Air
I also like the personal quality that this fragrance has (I'm not exactly sure what I mean by that). It's something I'm used to getting with oils more often than proper perfumes. Maybe it's the patchouli - I find most fragrances with patchouli bases to work really well with my body chemistry.

Kenzo Amour edp would be my top choice for you. This is a sensual, vanilla-based oriental with womanly depth.
A more gourmand vanilla is the arm-lickingly beautiful Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum Parfum du Soir, with a powdered almond note along with deeper woods.
The vanilla I own is L'Artisan Parfumeur Vanilia, a smoky, almost ashy cotton candy.
And you might try Lady Vengeance - not a pure vanilla, but vanilla's a key player, along with the rose and patchouli.

Have you tried this one? I sprayed it on my skin and it was AMAZING. It smells as whimsical as the bottle appears, and surprise surprise - One of the key notes is vanilla! It also has a light musk to it, and a tangy hint of anise under the violet and iris. Classic, but not dated!

Always happy to hear when people fall in fume-love! Lolita Lempicka is a quirky modern classic, and I didn't think to recommend it to you because the anise and complexity takes it further away from your Bath & Bodyworks Vanilla Noir starting point. But I'm glad you discovered this one.
Another more classic amber/vanilla I wanted to point you towards is Estée Lauder Amber Ylang-Ylang.

"Lady Vengeance is a bombshell fragrance: all curves, no survivors."
Your reviews are so concise, polished, and energetic. I don't know how you come up with such fabulous metaphors, but they sure do work! :)

It's hard to tell from the pic, but I've got a bottle here, and it's actually really beautiful and feminine, in a goth kind of way. The bottle itself is heavy matte black ceramic with shiny curly-cues all over it. The bottom has an etched-out indentation, and the cap is solid glass with "Juliette Has a Gun" etched into it. The whole bottle feels heavy and expensive.

I own this perfume and love it to pieces. Thank you for the review.

=D I MUST try this, and I dearly hope it works with my skin.
Do you have any sugestions for other perfumes similar to Lady V?
DarkContraband 2 years ago
Lady Vengeance is a rose/patchouli sweetened with a bit of caramel. In the same ballpark are:
Stella McCartney Stella (less sultry)
Agent Provocateur ("dirtier", more womanly)
Rochas Tocade (sweeter)
Niche bunnies can investigate:
Indult Manakara
Parfumerie Generale Brulure de Rose
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
Stella McCartney Stella (less sultry) was my fav but I was told it was discontinued in europe (where I live) :(
mickysantos 2 years ago
I wore Stella to a store and a guy said, "Your perfume really smells good." As I was leaving he said, "I mean... it REALLY smells good." He was not interested in my type so I know it was not a come on but the perfume. You can get it from Sephora if they ship overseas.
cunningprose 2 years ago
I'll try that. That perfume just makes me feel sexy, it changes the way I look at people even... Perfume is a very poweful thing and that one to me, is magic :)
mickysantos 2 years ago
I agree that perfume can really change your mood, your outlook, even your "power". It's kind of incredible.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
yes and since stella is kind of a velvety rose scent that not the "old lady rose perfume" it makes people feel warm inside and sexy on the outside. I'm glad stella is on your "to do" list. What about YSL Baby Doll? Do they still make it? I used to love it nearly as much as I love stella
mickysantos 2 years ago
I've seen YSL Baby Doll around, but haven't smelled it yet.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
give it a try, it smells like straberry candy.
mickysantos 2 years ago
This is my usual summer fragrance. Very fresh but not overly sweet IMO.
