  • So Not A Perfume by Juliette Has A Gun was launched in 2010.

  • It comes in eau de parfum concentration, and a 100ml bottle like this retails for $135.

  • The perfumer, once again, is Romano Ricci.

  • So the fragrance utilizes just one note at the top, at the heart, and at the base.

  • And the note that is the dominant or main note or the only note in Juliette Has A Gun's

  • Not A Perfume is cetylox.

  • So what is cetylox, you ask?

  • So cetylox is a synthetic note created by Firminage years ago to replace ambergris, or the usage of ambergris in fragrances.

  • Since ambergris is very, very expensive, they had to come up with a synthetic note to replace the use of the ambergris, which is costly.

  • So they've got cetylox here, and this is the main player in Not A Perfume.

  • And cetylox is another type of ambroxan, they're very, very close.

  • So if you're into ambroxan and fragrances, you pretty much know what cetylox smells like.

  • This is very, very earthy, woody kind of a smell, musky, and it's very, very simple, not complex at all.

  • So basically, if you're familiar with fragrances like Eccentric Molecules, Molecule 2, or even

  • Molecule 1, you pretty much know what you're getting here.

  • It's a kind of a fragrance that's very, very easy to wear, and it's, I think, perfect for the people that are not necessarily into wearing heavy fragrances, because there's absolutely no complexity here.

  • It's very, very easy to wear, it's very, very minimalistic, and light.

  • So there are those people that really love perfumes, like me, and I love to over-spray, and there are those people that are completely the opposite of me, that want something on, but they don't want to cause a distraction with their smell, they don't want to grab attention with their smell, but they still want that scent on them.

  • They want to smell good.

  • This actually does smell great, and the times I was wearing Naughty Perfume were times when

  • I was overwhelmed with scent.

  • Since I do smell a lot of scents, and I wear a lot, once my nose gets burned out, I want to not really smell anything strong or complex any further.

  • So I go and shower, and this is the kind of fragrance I spray, where I do want a little something, I want to leave a small, a tiny amount of trail behind, but I also don't want that attention.

  • Plus, I don't want to smell anything overly strong any further either.

  • So this is that kind of a fragrance.

  • It's made for those people that do want to dabble in perfumes a little bit, and also not overwhelm, if that makes sense.

  • It's very, very easy to wear.

  • It's also perfect for layering, I've layered it with some citruses also, which actually comes out and brings out the woodiness and the earthiness of the fragrance, but it's actually even better just on its own, because it does smell great, it does become musky, but it's very, very clean, and just light and airy, if that makes sense.

  • So if you haven't discovered Naughty Perfume, I highly recommend you do it.

  • It's for those guys that like that minimalistic style of perfumery, the light, easy touches.

  • You're working in an office, and you have people that are very, very allergic or sensitive to smells, but you still want to wear scent, this is what you would wear, Naughty Perfume.

  • And I love the name Naughty Perfume, because it's gimmicky, it's fun and quirky, but it's still a perfume, because you're actually using an actual synthetic note to create a perfume that's very, very light and airy.

  • But here, the other great thing about this is, it's completely allergy-free, so if you are allergic to different scents, or smells, or notes, or anything, this is perfect, because it's completely allergy-free, because it is using one synthetic note called Cetalox.

  • So I highly recommend you try this one, go check it out, they're available at Sephora, and if you have a Sephora near you, they might have a bottle there you can test it out, but we are doing a full bottle giveaway if you are a subscriber of the channel from the USA.

  • All you have to do is click the link to Safraban in the info box, head over there, and follow the rules for the giveaway for a full bottle of Naughty Perfume by Juliet Has A Gun.

  • And then come back here and let me know what your thoughts are, Naughty Perfume, have you tried it, are you curious to try it, and do you own it, do you wear it, do you love it?

  • Please let me know, let's get a conversation started.

  • Also let me know if you like Ambroxan and fragrances.

  • Most of us know Ambroxan and not Cetalox, but as I said, Cetalox and Ambroxan are pretty much the same thing, they're just owned by different companies and they have their own trademark name.

  • So let me know that as well.

  • Also, please like this video, please share it, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and I'll be back with more videos very soon.

  • Have a good one, goodbye.
