Description
Presented exclusively at Nose.fr the new fragrance of the luxurious collection Juliette Has a Gun INTO THE VOID was announced as ‘the perfume with dark energy’. It has woody-oriental character, ‘perfume with gravitation forces, invisible yet so destructive. In a vacuum, we are free from all physical forces and laws’.
INTO THE VOID belongs to the LUXURY collection which includes fragrances Oil Fiction, Moon Dance and White Spirit. AS the fourth fragrance of the collection, Into The Void depicts man’s curiosity of progress in science and forces ruling the world we live in. ‘Scientific achievements and progress of our knowledge during time enable us to realize and explain numerous phenomena. But one mystery still remains unsolved – black holes. Everything breaks in their heart. Space, time and light disappear; leaving place to the unknown world in which rules of modern physic break down and gravitation goes crazy.’
The perfume with dark energy offers a kind of harmony in top notes, blending an ultra woody cocktail of guaiac wood essences, papyrus, patchouli and cedar combined with molecule norlimbanol and ambroxanom. “Cosmic fluid with gold reflection”, as announced, “once released it stays in the air as star dust in space by expanding its gravitation forces, invisible but at the same time so alluring “.
The composition opens with intense chords of liquorice, leaving the heart to orchids and tonka, while the base combines papyrus wood, cedar, patchouli, guaiac wood with molecules ambroxan and normibanol (norlimbanol – extremely strong woody scent with animalistic note and shades of amber; dry woody scent in patchouli-style).
Fragrance JULIETTE HAS A GUN INTO THE VOID is available as a 100ml Eau de Parfum.
Into The Void was launched in 2016.
Enslavement – :
This Is just what I wanted for Christmas this year. Something spicy, with a little bit of sweetness, but with woody and patchouli facets hovering around the background. But in this case, the wood and patchouli, along with the licorice seem to move back and forth throughout the fragrance. This must be the void aspect about the fragrance. just when you think one phase of this fragrance has come and gone. It comes back. This is a very good fragrance indeed. I am definitely getting a full bottle of this. Got several samples right now and will enjoy during the fall.

Totally reminds me of Nishane Afrika-Oliphant. I feel like the resemblance comes from the overall dirty, powdery, elephant-at-the-zoo leather kind of vibe. I think I prefer Into the Void because it seems a bit more “wearable” to me. It’s pretty cool, but definitely not for everybody. Certainly due for more wearings…

To be honest, I was expecting something way more timid, soft and sexy. It’s very powerful and dense, sth in the vibe of Arabian style scents. I even get some oudy nuances. Patchouli plays the leading role and his friends papyrus, guaiac wood and cedar are not shy either. Licorice is there as well, adding some sweet woody-spicy nuances. A bit masculine and aromatic for my taste. I still like it very much. I was only hoping for more orchid and some coziness from tonka. It has a dark vibe as the name and the bottle suggest and could be very nice for romantic nights. I would really love it on my man.

meh …
to my nose constant aroma of liquorice liqueur, tonka bean, guajac wood, and laundry detergent for the orchid.
little digestible.
a bit pungent near but harmless at a long distance.
the detergent is here…
I go to rinse.

A darkboozy and mysterious perfume… penetrates you in like a dark night with a dark sky. Modern and charismatic, i was immediately in love with it 🙂 is well balanced. There is something sweet and floral in the distance I think the orchid, but also the tonka bean … is fascinating. Another beautiful JHG perfume, thank you for this dark pearl! =)

For anyone that has seen the movie ‘enter the void’ i was hoping this scent would be just as crazy.
I wouldn’t call it that but this sure is interesting.
I get smokey woods which blend with the liquorice and amber, creating something unique and wild.
I also smell something a little skanky smelling in this like the smell of HOT skin.
I think its sexy and alluring one of those scents thats hard to smell on yourself but leaves a trail behind you and people wondering what that intoxicating scent was.
sergant220 – :
Maple syrup and brandy. A very linear scent of sweet and semi-boozy liquorice-like wood. Smells better than it sounds, but it’s not distinctive enough to justify the price tag (especially with the surprisingly anemic performance; longevity is about average, no noticeable projection).
petyapetushok – :
This smells like a mix between the oudy/woody/cypriol (kinda scratchy woody), thickly, almost dankly sweet components of Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, and a touch of the fizzy sweet iris/vanilla of Iris Ganache or Ombre Mercure. I’m diggin it, the name, the color, the scent. Kinda wishin I had a sample of Afgano still to do a sbs. Will try to report more insights but I definitely am intrigued by and like it a lot! [4.7.17]
ETA: today it’s more about the guaiac, which has a sourish wood tone to me that reminds me of (my favorite) skanky ouds, coupled with a creamy floral note (‘orchid’) and still that dryness of what they’re calling papyrus. Much less scratchy to me today and I don’t get the strong cedar some people do, and so far no licorice which ehhhh I’m not the biggest fan of so it should stand out if it’s in here. I do get a ‘fuel’ (gasoline) note someone mentioned in a review on LuckScent, which is really intriguing and well done, whether on purpose or not. Really diggin it, decant wanted! Well, fb wanted but, that’s more to have that beautiful bottle than to think I’d actually use it all 😉

I love Into The Void, and I agree completely with MysticRoses’s lovely review. It has definitely an aroma of oud to my nose, and the liquorice is very rich and deliciously boozy. It’s gorgeous. It’s divinely dark – a lovely dark mysterious void – with a beautiful wood and amber base. It’s gorgeous. And I’ve received quite a few compliments, especially from my husband, who finds it very sexy and bewitching on me. It’s deep, sensual, dark and exotic. I love it. And I adore the bottle.

I respect bottles. If your bottle looks interesting then i have no other choice but to take you seriously. From the looks of this bottle, it appears as if Juliette was tired of being treated like a castaway. I’m trying to decode this void concept for clarity…Into the empty? Into the bare? Into the clear? The bottle is black and giving the note listings, maybe it’s more related to a space and time where matter don’t matter. If you just focus on the name, you’ll likely expect something avant garde. As I sniff my arm, I can tell you that this fragrance is the antithesis of empty, clear, void or bare. This is the heavy of the heavies(accord wise) without being ostentatious. This is not the kind of brew meant for strong sillage. The dash of orchid was a nice touch and too much would of proven disastrous. Uncredited is a cognac nuance which hovers over the first 45 minutes into the fragrance. Depending on the purpose of why you paid admission, that could be a cheer or jeer. The patchouli is also jeer worthy especially if you’re groomed from the school of earthy patchouli. Personally, I didn’t mind the fragrance as a whole. Absolutely not ground breaking by any means but respectable. I managed to get a compliment therefore this has adoration appeal.

Licorice, really?
There might be a couple of black jelly beans hopping sweetly around in there, but that’s about the end of it for me.
Ambroxan escapes me here, per usual, but at least it doesn’t contribute to an ink accord as has been typically the case of the note. This composition out ambroxan it’s blessedly benign, unless (and this IS a possibility) the ambroxan damage to this creation is without my knowledge.
Into the Void is dark and just a little spicy. The darkness shades the orchid, making it present as a floral, but it doesn’t allow it enough room to show off. The dark wood vibe, with the papyrus and cedar notes, is pervasive throughout. Dark woods is much more identifying as the essence of this fragrance than the vacuum and the nothingness I associate with a void. It isn’t a void to me. Nor is it a fragrant space filled with wonder, for imagination to find expression. It’s not intriguing. My curiosity ended with the first wearing. No, it ended within the first hour.
Noteworthy Notes
–woods
–floral (not easily identified as orchid)
–a late (too late) and subtle animalic element
Projection
–no comments
Longevity
–longer than my interest in it.
Into the Void is a disappointment for me. It’s not a ‘dislike’, but I expect more from a fragrance boldly named Into the Void. I expect even more from a fragrance house brassy enough to give Juliette a gun!

An OK perfume, quite likeable when the licorice shows up.
It has a slight similarity with Bvlgari’s Jasmin Noir L’ Essence, which I already own and definitely prefer over Into The Void.
L’Essence has no patchouli and no papyrus (which does Into The Void no good, it makes it too impervious). Instead we have jasmin, almond, myrrhe and LOTS of tonka, creating a more wafty, creamy and deep perfume.
ITV has that typical JHAG vibe (sharp/clean patchouli?), especially in the drydown, which makes it rather un-unique.
Sillage: moderate
Longevity: good

I don’t normally like liquorice but this has a dark and boozy facet to it that I can’t resist. There is something oudy about this fragrance, it has so much depth and the amber and woody baseline is extremely sensual. Very very heavy and powerful but absolutely divine nonetheless.
