Miami Shake

Edit: After a couple weeks of testing I've concluded that Miami Shake is a Strawberry Daiquiri with white florals. Here is what I think the notes are: Strawberry syrup, strawberry liquor, rum, coconut, milk or heavy cream, musk, jasmine, and maybe gardenia, ylang, cashmeran, and ambroxan. Miami Shake by Juliette Has A Gun is an example of the marketing not matching the product. Miami Shake is NOT A GOURMAND like Yum Bougee Marshmallow! There are additional notes/accords making it a creamy fragrance with a strange strawberry note and maybe a touch of banana. It has a milky lotion-like aspect with a slightly savory buttered popcorn accord that pops out in the dry down. The strawberry is strongest in the opening and then blends into the sweet milk with interesting heavy floral molecules that are reminiscent of gardenia or abstract white floral, which could explain the "plastic" note that some people are detecting. I agree that this smells like a distant relative to Blanche Bette, which could have been the inspiration, but overall MS is a very original, high quality release. You will probably like this if you like Blanche Bette, Burberry Her (in the opaque light pink bottle), and Ode to Dullness. You will probably not like this if you are expecting the ice cream version of Yum Bougee Marshmallow that the notes list advertises. Performance is very good. This is going on my full bottle list. 5/5

JHAG is my favourite perfume house. You can read my review for how much I love Vanilla Vibes and consider it to be a masterpiece. I’ve also lately been really enjoying Superdose and Miss Charming. One thing about JHAG is they are quality! Especially for the price point their fragrances out perform even the most luxury ones in terms of longevity and sillage so it will be money well spent And as a gourmand lover, I’ve been waiting for this release I just got my sample It’s everything I wanted it to be and actually reminds me a lot of my other love Boardwalk Delight it’s sugary juicy fun with some creaminess and in typical JHAG fashion a salty note. It’s very airy and cold, great interpretation of the ice cream note, so this isnt your typical heavy, syrupy warm bakery gourmand. This is a flirty spring summer candy like gourmand. Part of me wishes that in typical JHAG fashion it had their signature healthy dose of ambroxan for extra longevity but still, I absolutely love it and it will be my summer scent. Will update the review once I purchased the full bottle. **btw for those who want a sample JHAG offers for you to pick 3 for $20 on their site, and this is an option**

I really like this, to me it smells like a strawberries and cream chupachup! Sometimes it dries down to if someone had lit a pocky stick shaped and scented incense stick, sometimes it stays a sticky strawberries and cream chupachup and condensed milk, I really love it in colder weather but it works in hot weather too. The longevity of this is insane, I wore it all day layered with Annabelle’s birthday cake this morning and it completely over powered ABC, I wore it to work, then set up a wrestling ring and then showered and I can still smell it on my skin, I think the JHAG base they use in all their scents can make some go nose blind easily, their vanilla vibes scent which I love always fades fast to me because I go nose blind quickly to it but still get compliments hours after I can’t smell it anymore. I can see why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I personally love it! Not a safe blind buy.

Thissss one, omg. This one knocked me flat over, but like not in a bad way. I never knew a fragrance could be so powerful. That first hit is almost too strong, I wont lie. But give it a few minutes, it turns into the brightest, fruitiest scent with cream, just like a milkshake. If you ever complain about not being able to smell a fragrance on yourself, trust me on this one, this one you absolutely will. After a couple hours, you're left with a softer, milky scent that is still super noticable. Just 10/10, a wild summer in a bottle. I will say, because of its strength, I have to be in a really certain mood to want to wear this one. One spray is plenty, btw, which is fantastic because the travel size is huuuuuge and well-priced for what you're getting. I will also always adore the name of Juliette has a Gun, like she's just iconic like that.

Oh wowwww! I love a gourmand scent and this one is absolutely delicious! I love strawberry milkshakes, so what’s better than eating one when you can’t have one? Smelling like one! The strawberry is so yummy and sweet and it evolves into a beautiful creamy vanilla. Smells exactly like a strawberry milkshake to me! I could also smell it on my clothes days after I first wore it. My sister loved the sample so much I let her keep it (but sometimes I secretly steal a spray or two, don’t tell her I said that, though). If you’re going on a cute summer outing in the daytime and love strawberry, milkshakes, both, or super sweet gourmands in general, you’ll probably want to wear this one! It’s so fun and makes me instantly feel happier once I wear it.
