Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has A Gun was launched in 2006 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, offering a composition that revolves around a rose-vanilla-patchouli oriental structure. This fragrance has garnered a devoted following among enthusiasts of dark, sensual gourmand-orientals. While it is celebrated for its elegant and mysterious quality, the reception is divided — some critics describe it as somewhat dated or 'old-lady'-leaning despite its gothic branding. The heart of Lady Vengeance lies in its rich layers, with Bulgarian and Moroccan roses blending into a warm base of patchouli, amber, and white musk.

Application Tips
Apply Lady Vengeance to pulse points and let it develop for about half an hour before the full depth emerges. Due to its long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are usually sufficient. It is best suited for evenings when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
