Juliette Has a Gun Lust for Sun
Pool, coconut and white flowers
Lust for Sun is built as a summer by the pool. A veil of monoi and coconut lies over a white-floral heart of ylang-ylang, orange blossom and gardenia, with bergamot and freesia on top and ambroxan, musks and vanilla below. Romano Ricci imagined it as Juliette's playground, her swimming pool, in a bold summer.

How it unfolds
-
Bergamot, coconut, freesia
The first minutes are bright and a little creamy at once. Bergamot gives the lift, freesia adds a clean, light floral note, and coconut brings the first creamy softness that the monoi will deepen. The mood is open air rather than shop counter.
-
A white-floral cocktail
The heart is the brand's cocktail of ylang-ylang, orange blossom and gardenia, wrapped in monoi. Together they are rich, creamy and slightly tropical, the part of the scent that gives it its holiday warmth. This is the densest stretch of the perfume and the one that earns its name.
-
Vanilla and musks, after the swim
Ambroxan, musks and vanilla make the base: clean, soft and gently sweet. After the flowers they leave a smooth, skin-close warmth that carries the coconut down instead of letting it vanish. The brand rates the volume as high, and the base keeps it rounded.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Made for warm weather: spring and summer days, holidays, evenings outdoors. In heat, two sprays are plenty because the volume is high. It also brightens grey days if you want something sunny. Apply to skin after a shower and let the white flowers warm up.
Who it is for
People who love tropical white flowers and coconut and want a summery scent that stays soft rather than sharp. It fits those who dress for the heat, holiday trips, pool days and relaxed summer evenings, and anyone who likes a floral with a gourmand note.
Why choose Juliette Has a Gun Lust for Sun
The pyramid is full by the house's standards: ten named notes across three levels, from a brand that often lists only one per level. It has a clear idea, summer by the pool, and a story from Romano Ricci about Juliette's playground.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Lust for Sun only for summer?
It is at its best in warm weather, when coconut and white flowers feel natural. It can also brighten a grey day, but it is built around summer.
What are the key notes?
The brand names ylang-ylang, coconut and vanilla as the key notes. Around them sit bergamot and freesia on top, gardenia, monoi and orange blossom in the heart, ambroxan and musks below.
How should I apply it?
Spray two or three times on clean skin: neck, wrists, the inside of the elbows. Because the volume is high, less is more in hot weather.
What concentration and size is it?
It is an Eau de Parfum in a 100 ml bottle: concentrated enough to hold its white-floral heart, light enough for summer.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
