Juliette Has A Gun Calamity J is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Romano Ricci. Calamity J opens with Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Iris and Iso E Super, and dries down to a base of Cetalox, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Juliette Has A Gun's Calamity J carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

Calamity J is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a sophisticated, soft amber-patchouli dream, others a 'calamity' of burned wood and 'wet sauvage animal hair'. It's been discontinued, which only adds to its mystique and desirability for its fans.

About

Opens with a spicy punch of cinnamon before settling into a powdery iris heart, underscored by prominent woody and musky accords. The dry-down is an earthy, animalic blend of amber, patchouli, and musks, sweetened with tonka and vanilla. This is a complex, almost Gothic scent with an intriguing depth.
