About
Calamity J. by Juliette Has A Gun is a fragrance for women. Calamity J. was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Romano Ricci. Top note is Cinnamon; middle notes are Iris and Iso E Super; base notes are Amber, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla Absolute, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Castoreum, Civet and Cetalox. Romano Ricci presents Calamity J., the fifth fragrance of Juliette Has a Gun collection, which arrives on the market in November 2009. Calamity J. (Calamity Jane or Calamity Juliette) is a more masculine fragrance dedicated to women and it reflects their strong role in the society with strong musky notes. Romano Ricci did not want fruity or floral notes in this edition, but he focused on a woody-amber composition which reminds of dandy fragrances. Calamity J. differs from the first three fragrances of the collection which are based on rose. As balance to feminine editions and spicy Midnight Oud, the new J is presented in a completely different way. The perfume incorporates such notes as patchouli, iris, amber and a strong tact of musk in a base. Its flacon is darker and painted with characteristic rose with thorn and leaves in pale nuances. The fragrance will be available as 50 and 100 ml EDT.
