Juliette Has A Gun travel bullet

Posted by Robin on 13 September 2009 34 Comments

Juliette Has A Gun travel bullet

Juliette Has A Gun has introduced a refillable travel spray:

A rechargeable purse fragrance, in the shape of a bullet.

inside ? a well guarded secret...
a special oil with hidden powers. when applied at the right places, men bend irresistibly on their knees.

at the crossroad between sorcery and poetry the jewel is your ultimate accessory to re-perfume yourself discretly in any occasion.

a cult object, not to place in innocent hands.

The travel bullet is available in Lady Vengeance, Miss Charming and Citizen Queen, and is 62-65€ for the bullet plus four 4 ml "concentrated oil" refills (total 16 ml). (via press release)

    Clever, yes. Worth the hassle at the airport, I doubt it.

      That was my first thought as well. I won’t even carry the aluminum refillable containers from The Different Company into the airport, and those don’t have the added excitement of looking like an oversized bullet. Interesting concept, though.

        Mine as well. Who the heck is going to carry a liquid inside “bullet” through security? I’ve had enough pat-down searches in my lifetime, thank you very much.

          It’s as if this was created to deliberately antagonise security personnel at the airport LOL!

      Nope, probably not worth flying with.

    They almost had me…until they got to the “concentrated oil” part. Love the bullets, though…very Bond. :D

      My thoughts exactly…not worth it unless you can test them first, and unless you like oils.

      me likey oils too. And since I rarely fly (except on my broomstick) the bullet-ness of it wouldn’t be a problem. It’s very cute and a natural for JHaG….bet you could refill it with the EdP later if you wanted.
      Then I’m wondering–is it plated? is it a solid sterling case? Maybe Argentium so it won’t tarnish? I hate tarnish.

        hmmmm, is true, things to consider. As for flying on a plane with it i would just pack in my checked luggage or take the cover off and toss them both in the plastic baggie, would look less bullet like in 2 separate pieces. i never smelled none of these juliette thingys but they sound intriguing.

        double ack! I hadn’t made the association to the bullet…but now it looks like a pocket vibrator to me!

          I made that association right away…lol…jus tell security it IS a vibrator and they will probably quiet themselves and send you on your way.

            there ya go, just say “yup it’s a pocket rocket alright!” no way a smart person wants to seperate a woman from her pocket rocket!

            Yes, and hope that if it ever tumbles out of your purse, people won’t make the same assumption. ;) The idea is very Bond, though, and I can imagine one of his sexy antagonists using one of these just before seducing our hero. :)

    Juliette has a gun and a sense of humor. I like it. Not that different from the usual silvery atomizer containers.

      It’s great packaging. But if I loved one of their scents, I’d be reluctant to buy this w/o smelling the new format first…a concentrated oil might smell very different than the regular EdT/EdP.

    Very cute and a clever concept! None of their scents work for me though, so I’m not tempted.

      So far, I’m not in love with any of them either. Looking forward to trying the new oud one though!

    there so cute, too bad one of my fellow classmates recently got in a heap of trouble for wearing a silver necklace with a 1/4 in. bullet shaped charm

    While they’re definitely bullet-shaped, they aren’t really close enough to cause too much of a problem at the airport – unless you let them go through the scanner at security and all they saw was the shape. You could just either check them like mentioned above or take them out of your purse for inspection before sending through the scanner.

    Telling the TSA people that it’s your “personal massager” won’t do you any good – I have a friend who screens for TSA and they’ve seen way worse than that, probably on a daily basis. Some of the stories that she tells would curl your hair.

      Maybe, but I’ve had enough bad experiences w/ the TSA that personally I wouldn’t bother. Maybe I’m just unlucky :-)

    unique~~ but not a very good idea for me~~ well as everybody’s mentioned already, the airport thing.. but for me the style is so unique that you can’t force yourself to buy those!
    for me the concept not suitable for any age, status, work, occassion and etc. even your job is an assassin, you’ll probabaly not gonna used those~~ they’re trying hard to capture cool younger buyer, but sad to say~~

      Gosh, I’d use one if it was a fragrance I liked. I wouldn’t fly with it, but I don’t fly all that often anyway.
