The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Midnight Oud by Juliette Has A Gun, launched in 2009, is a fragrance that embodies the romantic and daring spirit of its namesake project. Romano Ricci initiated Juliette Has A Gun as an ode to Shakespeare's tragic love story, where modern Juliette remains armed but equally romantic. Midnight Oud opens with the rich complexity of Damask Rose and Moroccan Rose, intertwined with the warmth of saffron and papyrus. The heart notes of oud and patchouli create a deep, smoky contrast, while musk and amber add a sensual base that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply Midnight Oud to pulse points for the best longevity. The oud base takes time to bloom fully, so give it an hour before reapplying if you want a more pronounced effect. This fragrance is better suited for evening wear when its warm and smoky notes can truly shine.
