Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes
Salt-edged vanilla, airy and warm
Vanilla Vibes puts two opposites in one bottle: natural vanilla absolute and sea salt. The salt turns the sweetness mineral and airy, and a musk base closes it. The brand ties the scent to desert adventure and freedom and files it as gourmand and fresh, here as an Eau de Parfum of 100 ml.

On the skin
How it unfolds
-
Salt first
Sea salt leads, which is unusual for a perfume that is also about vanilla. It brings a mineral, slightly dry edge, closer to skin after the sea than to a sweet start. The sweetness is held back for now, which keeps the opening fresh and the vanilla that follows easier to meet.
-
Vanilla, twisted
At the heart sits natural vanilla absolute, the brand's twist on the gourmand idea. Because the salt is still in the air, the vanilla reads less like dessert and more like a warm, soft glow. This is where the two opposites meet, sweet and mineral, side by side.
-
A musk base
Musk forms the base: soft, clean and close to the skin, giving the vanilla something smooth to rest on. The brand rates the volume of this scent as high, and the musk keeps that volume rounded. The overall impression is sensual and free-spirited, in the brand's own words.
Wearing it
When, who and why
When it suits
Vanilla Vibes works as a warm-weather scent when the salt is welcome and as a cosy one when the vanilla is. Two or three sprays are plenty for an Eau de Parfum of high volume, as the brand puts it. Try it on holidays, on evenings out and on relaxed weekends.
Who will like it
Anyone who enjoys vanilla but finds it too sweet on its own. The salt gives it air, so it suits people who like gourmand scents with a fresher face. It fits those who like to be noticed gently, and occasions that are relaxed, social or outdoors.
Why choose Juliette Has a Gun Vanilla Vibes
The idea is clear and unusual: vanilla treated as a contrast rather than a comfort. The brand's short pyramid, sea salt, natural vanilla absolute and musk, reads clearly from the first spray, and the story of desert adventure and freedom gives it a definite mood.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Vanilla Vibes sweet?
Sweet, but not sugary. Natural vanilla absolute is the heart, and sea salt on top turns that sweetness mineral and airy, as the brand describes it.
What kind of scent is it?
The brand's tagline reads gourmand, salty, fresh. Its family is ambery and fresh, with sea salt, natural vanilla absolute and musk as the three named notes.
Does it make a good gift?
It suits anyone who likes vanilla or gourmand scents with a fresh side. The 100 ml Eau de Parfum is a full-size bottle, and the salty twist keeps it from being a plain vanilla.

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
