Juliette Has A Gun Calamity J is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Romano Ricci. The fragrance opens with Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Iris and Iso E Super, and dries down to a base of Castoreum, Civet, Labdanum, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Calamity J: Statement

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.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its bold, assertive character and moderate sillage make it suitable for dates and evening wear, despite some finding it too weak. The rich amber and musky accords lean it away from casual daytime or office settings.

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.
