Juliette

A blind buy, this perfume is unique. When you do research the notes, there is not one perfume, at least on this website, that has this combination of notes. It has caramel, orange, jasmine and currants all under one roof, and what is absolutely unimaginable, it manages not only to add sea notes and not make it awkward, but actually create a marine/ozonic toffee with florals and smell so well blended and elegant and opulent. It is like eating eclairs and having coffee with maple syrup by the sea, which would happily be my activities on any day in fact! I immediately bought a second bottle at a low price because I know I cannot be without it for the forseeable future. Again, it is sooo well blended it feels like a high-end well established perfume house, and from what I have seen the company is adept at making high end leather bags, and I have to say there is something that translates into that house's fragrances, that combination of ingredients which is dependable/classical like a well-made durable all-rounder bag mixed with some unexpected twist such as marine note. It makes the sweet scent distinguished and refined and yet so warm. I have to say sillage is close to skin and longevity is moderate to weak, but now it make sense to me the bottles sold are 100ml, because if you add a few more spritzes it will definitely create more longevity, but it will not be enormous. I actually enjoy those features and will alternate between this fragrance and The Only One Dolce and Gabanna which is super similar albeit for the plum and coffee note which make the D&G sweeter and even deeper than Juliette, on days when I want to basically wear the same fragrance but less pronounced and less lasting. Saying that, the sea note makes it unique in its own right. I would say it is a gourmand and yet slightly marine scent with citrus/yellow sunny flowers smiling, very warm, cosy, suitable for a date, work, every day wear, any season due to variety of notes and the way it is blended and projecting. I think it is a thoughtfully designed masterpiece, and has that je ne sais quoi that is timeless and that so many, thousands of perfumes are trying very hard to achieve with weird intricate note combinations, and yet here I am like coming home where I always belonged and the architect knew how to build it so it lasts. I would say something about the composition has that quirkiness of Twilly Hermes, that unshakeable solid base which feels like a quality perfume with no questions asked. But subtler and more intimate. A gem among sea of creatures. I thought I would have the quirky Sisley's Soir De Lune as my new signature I just bought, and think it just will be Juliette now without a fight , which says a lot. It is like falling in love....it chooses you, and when you know it you just know it.

Rich and heady and sumptuous without being sickly or overpowering. When I close my eyes this evokes walking through gardens in Spring on the Amalfi Coast; citrus, floral and aquatic notes all blending together beautifully on the gentle sea-breeze. Very impressed with Abaco fragrances, many have unusual note combinations that really work and give a unique perfume experience. There must be different batches because mine has different packaging to the photo. The black cap is smaller and the label is white and neater which I think gives a more refined and appealing look.

Nice gourmand perfum, not overpowering but also not long-lasting. Reminds me of D&G the only one, which is one of my favorites. I can smell praline, caramel, toffee notes in this one and I love it. 🥳🤩 I got my bottle from Tk Maxx as a blind buy. At £15 per bottle. Checked reviews on this website before buying, but could not sample this because no one in UK sells it except outlets. I am happy with my purchase at this price mark 📌, but would be furious 🤬 with projection, sillage if I paid full price of 85 euros for it. I saw some reviews of Abaco Paris that mentioned issues with the spray and was a bit worried. Luckily, my bottle is well made. Does not look cheap and is fully working. Minimalist design, but this is a plus for me. I don't think this is a dupe of Olimpea!!! To me Olimpea smells like pure poison (by the way I am no referencing perfume), just can’t get through it’s opening. Really love how others describe Olimpea, but this is not how I smell it. So I was happy to find Juliet because it is less overpowering and less chemical in the opening. If you love D&G the only one and craving a lighter version of it than this is a safe blind buy for you. If you are into strong perfumes and want 2 sprays that last all day then it is a pass.

Yes, this is most like Olympea and actually Girl Of Now by Elie Saab (the pink one). Olympea has more of a sea note though. I don’t really get too much comparison to D&G, maybe on the dry down, I think the D&G is more soapy on the initial spray. It is sweet but not too sweet, I get more mature vibes from this, like Girl of Now’s older sister (Girl of Now is more fruity). The longevity is ok, it lasts about 2-3 hours and then becomes a skin scent on me. I actually love the look of the bottle and the label, very chic and minimal. I have the bottle with the white label, not the black one - I don’t know what the difference is. The cap is plasticky though and I’m scared I’ll break it every time I take it off! However, considering it is ~€79 if you get it off the actual website (I didn’t) I would expect a more sturdy design. I do like this and I will keep and wear it, but it’s not that unique of a fragrance. Instead it’s classy and timeless and one that you can wear any time, any day.

More like Olympea than D&G, but not as thick. Better than both (although I wouldn't wear any) It is a sweet floral-fruity scent, without getting cloying or really gourmand. I am not into sweet/gourmand perfumes, but this one is very well made. To me the combination between mandarine, jasmine and salty caramel is obvious. Slighlty nutty with a bit of vanilla. The trail is beautiful.
