Description
A perfume with a rich and sophisticated trail. The expression of undeniable femininity, confident and divinely sensual. The fragrance of a Lady for whom the art of seduction bares no secret. You can smell... you can dream... but it’s all in her hands. The very elegant but thorny Bulgarian Rose marries patchouli and vanilla to draw this fine, elegance, both contemporary and inevitable.

Lady Vengeance description
Why mince words? Juliette Has a Gun’s Lady Vengeance does what it says on the label – it is a potent and feminine scent with enough steel and sensuality in it to make any poor slob wish he had done something different. And as vengeance is a dish best served cold, the rose note in this perfume is absolutely frigid; the petals are frozen solid, with only the razor-sharp thorns gouging through the ice.
Lady Vengeance is appropriately minimal in its composition – the ice sculptured rose note is backed by golden vanilla and patchouli, and each note is simultaneously an invitation and a warning. The golden tones of the vanilla promise a sweet, adoring time to be had by whoever wins your heart, while the patchouli states quite bluntly it ain’t gonna be that easy to do, friend.
This perfume says so much emotionally without needing much to do so – the longer you wear it, the more you’ll understand the complicated message it sends out. The rose is the centerpiece (as always with this line), and even though its bloom has been encased in blue-white ice, the other supporting notes are added from the warmest end of the scent spectrum.
The secret message of Lady Vengeance is that, with time, their combined heat will break through the protective chill so the petals reach the sun again. Lady Vengeance tells a story of romantic love winning against all odds, even when it’s nowhere close to admitting it. This fragrance will be your sword and shield after a nasty breakup, when you’re done with moping around the house and are done binge-watching TV shows featuring women who own guns.
The floral tones are bright, slightly green and young, and their natural softness can still be felt from a distance, as the rich vanilla rises up around them, coaxing them to unfurl one petal at a time.
The heart of Lady Vengeance is when the emotional tide begins to turn. The vanilla and patchouli are much more present, curling around the stem of the rose to melt the ice slowly, and their sweet/spicy tandem only adds more mystery to the floral display. There is less anger and regret, and more curiosity opening up in the perfume, even a playful side as the rose is able to bloom in its full complexity.
The drydown is mostly vanilla and patchouli, with cautious flashes of the rose peeking through. There’s another saying: “Living well is the best revenge.” Wear this perfume not to get over your old and busted past, but to welcome the sweet, daring future and the man dying to meet you there.

It's a little too musky for me, I love Juliette perfumes but this one is just a bit overbearing.

I was never a huge fan of rose scents. But I must say this one has grown on me. It is very long lasting. I like Patchouli so that with the other notes blend very nicely together.

This fragrance is "wow!" It is very strong, especially at first. The first whiff is hard to identify but as it dries down, the rose becomes very strong. The patchouli lingers in the background. The only reason for four stars is because it is hard to get just enough perfume on so I don't end up with a headache later in the day. Nice!

I had high hope for this scent! Unfortunately it just wasn't for me. I don't necessarily think that other people wouldn't like it, but I'm more into scents like coach, ed hardy, & opium. This scent had a very strong flowery scent to me. Almost like you would smell in your grandmas bathroom.

I LOVE this perfume. At first I wasn't sure. It was strong and unlike anything I had owned. But I kept using it anyways. And it grew on me. Eventually I grew to love it.

This is not for everyone. It's strong but it's so sophisticated and rich smelling. It smells like money. All of these perfumes so far smell like that.

This spray was a no go for me. I sprayed a light spray in the car when it arrived and I was coughing. I love a good strong perfume but this one hung with me for the 2 hours of errands I was running and just filled every room I was in. Embarrassing.. I guess the words I would use to describe this are sharp and violent. lol So it's fitting to the name of the perfume. This is not a perfume I will be spraying again personally. But, I am sure someone loves a strong fierce fire like this one.

To me, this perfume was EXACTLY what a perfume should be, not a punch in the face of heavy scent that you can smell before a person enters the room and long after they've gone, but a pleasant passing scent that some one will smell as you pass. It spray it on in the morning and I smelled a hint of it as I was getting ready for bed and from time to time throughout my day. If I could afford it, lol, I'd purchase the full size!

It's a musky floral, if I had to say something negative about it, it's kind of old ladyish. I get a licorice, menthol floral, almost like cloves(?) but with a little more tingle mixed with vanilla and warm scented flowers. The minty-ness dries down to a soft floral that doesn't last well on my skin. I'm glad I tried a JHAG fragrance and I wasn't sure I'd like Not a Fragrance but LV is okay. Just a little mature for my taste, there's no fruity element and the floral is a blend that doesn't suit me. I love Lush's Rose Jam and this doesn't have that lush rosy scent for me.

I personally love it! The first spray did not smell good, it took a few more times for me to really get all of the complex notes to this fragrance. When I spray it on I get a hint of rose, then it warms up to be very woody. I feel this is more of a fragrance for fall/winter instead of spring/summer. Please remember "DO NOT RUB" the fragrance into your skin, this crushes the scent molecules and changes the fragrance.

Just, no. I'm not sure why this particular perfume has 'vengeance' against my nostrils, but it is really unpleasant. It is most certainly named appropriately. The perfume reminds me of a strong, CHEAP fragrance. I've not even been able to pawn it off on someone. To me, it is the epitome of an old lady fragrance; one they've been wearing faithfully since the mid-70s. It's bad, just bad. I feel like I wasted a month of my subscription :-(

This is a beautifully intriguing fragrance. It is somehow floral and just a hint of powdery and yet sexy.

This has a great scent that definitely lasts longer than expected. A little goes a long way and it gets the attention of people - men and women comment on the smell. Out of the ones in this collection, this is my favorite so far!

Grew on me quickly- didn't care for at first- now it's a fav. Nice transition from heavier winter but not a too florally spring scent.

I had a lot of preconceived notions for this brew, coming from a House called 'Juliette has a Gun' and having a name like 'Lady Vengeance,' I just knew this would be a glorious powerhouse of sensual pleasure. Boy was I wrong. Rose and Ambroxan all the way. Rose as in Great-Aunt Martha in the nursing home. As for Ambroxan let me say it is not the Amber you are looking for. Ambroxan is a lab made component that is suppose to smell like whale vomit. Well mix it with the rose and it smells like the nursing home attendants forgot to give granny a bath . . . for a long long time. Under the rose there is warm medicinal smell and the faint but unforgettable smell of feces. Aweful. Also the synthetic accords gave me a headache. The longevity and sillage are stellar. I scrubbed till my wrists were red and couldn't get this off.

I agree with other reviewers that this is both strong and an old lady perfume, but those are the reasons I love this perfume. It's certainly not my go-to daily perfume, but this is still a fun scent for me to wear at night. Just one spray at the base of the back of my neck is enough so that I can wear it out but doesn't overpower everyone in the vicinity.

The rose is the dominate note for me in this parfum, and while not overpowering, it definitely leans towards a more mature woman. I'm an older woman, but this scent doesn't appeal to me, because I prefer scents that are spicy/woodsy/clean.

I can definitely smell the vanilla... I'm on the fence with this one though! When I first spray it on I feel it's way to strong and old lady, then it lightens a LITTLE... Then I can pick up the vanilla which I love but the patchouli is strong in this one... Like I said, on the fence.

I enjoyed the scent quite a bit, but by the end of the day it had completely disappeared. I guess if you don't mind reapplying, it's fine. I just would rather have a scent that lingered all day that I don't have to think about reapplying.

I feel bad writing a review of this scent because it just didn't work for me, in spite of having the notes I often look for in a scent. It was too "sharp" and I never got the dry down I was expecting.

I love this fragrance. It reminds me very much of Bijan Wicked, which was my go to scent for a few years. It has a slightly tangy, sweet floral scent. It is very sexy, but not so much that the scent isn't good for everyday wear.

3.5 stars (or hearts, in this case). It goes on strong, but fades a bit as the day goes on. It is nice, but I was hoping for more of a smoky rose than the powdery rose smell I got from it, if that makes any sense. I will continue to wear it to see how it grows on me.

This is a beautiful patchouli rose but the name isn't really true, I think this is a good girl perfume, not the scent of a vengeful woman. I think this leans young but not in a generic mass market scent sort of way.

First things first: USE IN MODERATION.
This is a very potent perfume, one spritz should last the day (maybe into the next if you don't wash it off). It starts out pretty good, more rosy and likable, but as it dries and ages on the skin, the little trace of patchouli becomes more and more prominent until it becomes overwhelming. Unless you love patchouli, and are particularly resilient to it, don't even do 3 sprays. I put on my usual amount (1 spritz per wrist and one on the next), but I had a patchouli headache from it within an hour.
Do not use if:
-you hate patchouli
-can't stand perfume that smells kind of like someone wanting to accept their middle-agedness but still in denial (old lady patchouli+ younger adult perfume).
-You are sensitive to smell
-you hate smelling one thing for hours on end.
This smells like something you would only wear to a fancy, high end art-show with older people.
My rating: 3 hearts. Not a terrible perfume, but not my first choice by a long run. For comparison, CK One is my go-to perfume.

Like another review stated....I really wanted to like this. I really did. It however didn't like me and I didn't like it. It was too strong when I first sprayed it and even after it rested and relaxed it still was just too musky. Definitely not one I would purchase or even wear the rest of for the monthly supply.

I want to love it, I really do. It's top rated on Sephora's website, which usually doesn't steer me wrong, but I just don't know. It doesn't smell much like the description to me. I wouldn't purchase a full bottle. I'll just have to see how it ages on my skin. So far I think I might end up giving it away.

This smells like the fanciest, most lovely laundry detergent ever. It's floral, but soft, and has fairly good lasting power. I wouldn't wear this year-round- it's a bit heavy for spring and summer- but it's a wonderful fall/winter scent!

It is a sultry fuscia rose compared to say Romantina, which is more plush, pink and powdery. LV steps one stiletto-clad toe over the sexy line, but doesn't grab you by the throat and threaten sultry nothings in your ear. She just waits for you to notice and come closer. A mostly warm and somewhat musky rose with the narrowest of patchouli thread peeking through the drydown, I like this one and would consider a full bottle. Four sparkly perfume bottles out of five.

I really like this perfume. When first applied, the Bulgarian Rose is very strong. This settles out a bit and becomes sweeter when you start to smell the vanilla and lavender, and the patchouli peeks out a bit. I gave this four stars (or hearts in this case) because it is a little too sweet for me, but I might consider buying.
