The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ode To Dullness by Juliette Has A Gun was launched in 2023 and is the creation of perfumer Romano Ricci, grandson of Nina Ricci. This fragrance defies expectations with its warm and enveloping composition that combines anis, soft spices, and a rich amber base, which contrasts with its intriguing name. The woody and balsamic notes provide a grounding warmth, while powdery musk adds a subtle depth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so it’s best experienced close to skin rather than from across the room. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be worn year-round for its comforting warmth.

Romano Ricci

Juliet, armed with a gun

Romano Ricci, born in 1978, is the great-grandson of designer Nina Ricci and grandson of Robert Ricci, who created L'Air du Temps — yet he chose to become a self-taught perfumer rather than lean on his fashion pedigree.
