Juliette Has a Gun Miami Shake Review: A Gourmand Dream
A creamy, fruity vanilla that captures the essence of a sun-drenched Miami milkshake.
In this review
In the pantheon of gourmand fragrances, there are those that whisper and those that shout. Juliette Has a Gun’s Miami Shake (2025) is a glorious, unapologetic shout—a sunlit symphony of wild strawberry, whipped cream, and vanilla absolute that transports you straight to a pastel-hued Art Deco terrace overlooking the Atlantic. This is not a subtle scent; it is a celebration, a dessert you wear with abandon.
Romano Ricci, the house’s visionary perfumer, has crafted a fragrance that feels like a memory of summer: the sticky sweetness of a strawberry milkshake, the coolness of ice cream on a hot day, and the powdery warmth of sun-kissed skin. It is a gourmand that leans into the creamy, fruity, and powdery accords with a confidence that is both nostalgic and utterly modern. Let us dive into this olfactory confection.
