Juliette Has A Gun Sunny Side Up

Juliette Has A Gun Sunny Side Up arrived in 2017 as a bright, optimistic addition to the brand's growing arsenal of character-driven scents. The name itself evokes a perfectly cooked egg, sunny side up—a simple pleasure that sets the tone for a fragrance designed to be uncomplicated, comforting, and effortlessly wearable. Romano Ricci, the great-grandson of Nina Ricci and the nose behind the brand, envisioned a scent that captures the warmth of a sunlit morning without pretense. True to its name, Sunny Side Up is a radiant blend of creamy sandalwood, soft vanilla, and a distinctive coconut milk accord that feels more like a sheer, tropical breeze than a heavy gourmand. It sidesteps the sticky sweetness of many coconut fragrances, instead offering a powdery, woody texture that sits close to the skin. This is not a loud, attention-seeking perfume; it's a personal, intimate scent designed for casual days when you want to feel put-together without effort. Since its release, Sunny Side Up has carved out a quiet but loyal following among those who appreciate understated niche perfumery. It's often compared to other woody-vanilla scents like Zadig & Voltaire's This is Her and Byredo's Gypsy Water, but its unique coconut milk note gives it a distinct, creamy character. In this review, we'll break down every facet of Sunny Side Up—from its notes and evolution to its performance and value—to help you decide if it deserves a spot in your collection.
