by Juliette Has A Gun
Lust for Sun by Juliette Has A Gun is a bright, creamy white floral with a soft, sun-kissed honeyed sweetness. It opens with a luminous burst of bergamot and volatile ylang-ylang, giving it a complex tropical sensibility before settling into its signature floral bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and orange blossom. Despite the scent profile suggesting a coconut accord, most find it more as a subtle textural note rather than a dominant ingredient, providing a lotion-like smoothness rather than a tropical fruitiness. The drydown features a supple blend of vanilla, musk, and ambroxan, creating a warm, skin-hugging signature that deepens with time. While not particularly long-lasting—most wearers report moderate longevity of around four to five hours—the fragrance stands out for its elegant, translucent quality. It’s not a bold or explosive scent, but one that lingers softly and universally, especially in hot weather or tropical environments.
