I’m really surprised how less people has reviewed this frangrance.
This is a bit different than the other frangrances in line. I find this perfume being in between the house’s two other fragrances which stand for two different characters presented by this house – one being soft floral-airy, and other being heavy musky-floral.
In contrast to feminine, heavy, musky and ambery Oil Fiction, White Spirit is more airy, soft and despite being on the feminine side, it seems to me as an asexual fragrance. I think this is why people consider it not worth buying a bottle. But for me, this aspect is what makes it a masterpiece of this house.
Though it resembles Not a Perfume, it is, on my skin and for my conception, less flowery. Everybody states that they conceive nothing but tuberose. But i found the tuberose here, combined with ambroxan, smelling exactly like gunpowder, which creates the distinct character of this perfume.
After a while, it turns to be more of a flowery scent, but just on the skin. It doesn’t change much on fabric.
Juliette really has a gun, but with flowers, literally.

I can smell the faintest whisper of tuberose when I spray in on, and that lasts for maybe an hour tops. Then it’s just transparent blonde woods. I like this more than Anyway, and less than Not a Perfume. But it was a good one to wear to the dentist office because I didn’t want to offend my dentist with a strong perfume. I wouldn’t buy it though, I would rather buy Not a Perfume if a want a minimalist perfume. I like the scent of that one better, it’s just a personal preference.

It is just like its name, spirit, I don’t know this one is really exist. there’s duddie tuberose’s tared aparts that barely become a tuberose, like big fail of making Frankenstein’s creature.
Airy scent, Hedione and ambers. nothing worth its price.

First spray and I detect the vibe of Narcotic Venus Nasomatto and something similar to JHAG anyway. Very weak and airy. Not perfume material.

It’s the ambroxan.
At least that’s what I choose to tell myself.
It’s all I smell, and not in a good way. NOT in the same way others experience it. At least I don’t think so. I hope, beyond hope I’m simply anosmic to ambroxan, because if not, Juliette doesn’t have a gun, she has an inkwell 🙁
White Spirit, for me, lives in the same realm as Molecule 02 and JHaG Not a Perfume. Characterless, minimalistic, angular and thoroughly sanitized. I feel as if it has been stripped of any identifying fingerprints that would make it memorable, any that would make it even a perfume! With the tuberose, and jasmine notes listed and milky white bottle, I was anticipating something floral and creamy, ethereal even. I didn’t get it. After the first few minutes, White Spirit, smells only of ink, chemicals and well…nothing. I can and do, say the same of both Not a Perfume and Molecule 02. I just wish I didn’t have to.
Noteworthy Notes
–the lack of notes is noteworthy
–ink accord
*sigh*
This is so strange.

White Spirit is a gentle floral scent, the tuberose plays center stage, without being bold , although it doesn’t project much, longevity on my skin is good…it is like the name implies, luminous, cheerful, soft…like an aura perfume, when you want to be surrounded by a gentle aroma…very feminine, definitely a smoother gentler perfume by JHAG..very attractive scent, the heart has a bit of a musky soapy undertone…I agree with Germany that it is a fluffy white scent..!
The base though isn’t as interesting, it turns into a clean scent, a bit sharp, lots of jasmine….I personnally don’t detect any woodsy notes, or Amber .
Now, I find the price high for a pretty tuberose scent…although it is a quality perfume.,,still not sure I would buy it…I don’t find it real complex, but certainly a pleasure to wear! I think you would like it even if you aren’t fond of tuberose. Now the concept seems more intriguing than the juice itself.
Update: upon trying to again, I decided not to buy a bottle.lit is a soft tuberose, not worth the high price in my views.

Super unusual, it puts a halo around you , a white milky creamy cloud of musk and ambroxan with a hefty dose of tuberose. What great fluffy sexy aura it creates. White spirit is indeed a great name for this fragrance. Very unusual , this is what I was hoping ,not a perfume would smell like. I was beginning to think I can’t smell ambroxan but thank good I can here. It’s a very strange experience. I am loving it. A clean fluffy white smell , sweet but airy sweet so no cloing what so ever. It’s like angels breath in white fluffy clouds , heavenly.
I love most bases with ceder and sandalwood as well as amber. It makes for a creamy smell , this is no exception. Pur fluffed up airy milky creamy goodness with a sweet dose of tuberose. Signature worthy !
The perfume is the colour of milk , how fitting.
Update , super strong stuff. Can be smelled a day later in the room you sprayed it. In the room it leaves a clean Oder like deodorant just sprayed , slightly chemical and a little like cleaning solution , I do not think it smells that harsh on the skin , nor that strong.

Another pleasant but boring JHaG. Squeaky clean with some pretty florals. A good white floral for people who don’t actually really like white florals; if you find tuberose too green or jasmine too skanky you may want to try this. A prim, pristine white floral.
Edit: Holy smokes, this stuff lasts forever though! Really impressive longevity.

Does anyone else pick up a slight industrial note blended beautifully with the flowers?
White Spirit is my fave from the limited edition line. Moon Dance spells ‘old lady frag’ sadly and Oil Fiction is too soapy on me but lovely presentation and I’m sold on this one in particular.

Sprayed this in Harrods while visiting London a few weeks ago.
The most beautiful smell emerged that I could not stop sniffing away at; that was until it dried down to the base level, where I had to wash it off.
Top and middle notes were amazing, unfortunately the base note ( the one that lingers the longest) reminded me of like the remnant a cheap hairspray that you can smell on old ladies following a blue rinse and roller set.
However, as we all know, perfumes react differently on every skin so maybe this is just not good for mine!
Only way to know is to try it yourself, but try before you buy, preferably the day before.

White Spirit is a fantastic,ethereal,sophisticated and amber/floral. I love this fragrance, it leaves a unique wake of,evanescent and paradisiacal. I like the tuberose that continues in the middle notes, the ambroxan here is well balanced with the other notes. And’an eau de parfum extremely beautiful and complex…I love it. The woody notes of sandalwood combined with amber and cedar are extraordinary. Masterpiece by Juliette Has A Gun.
Sillage: 9/10
Longevity: 9.5/10
Scent: 10./10
Overall: 10./10.

I have just tried this beautiful fragrance . First reaction was – a silly wide smile.. It had a magnificent opening with dominating tuberose – j would say almost identical to TF Jasmine Rouge (as its one of my favourites – there is no doubt about that)… The first wave of white florals leave an unforgettable imprint in your memory, as if setting the tone to the rest of the story… BUT almost instantaneously this fresh and subtle feminine bouquet (I should mention that there is no attempt to make florals a vulgar front sitter of the composition, it’s quite non- offensive ) intertwines with almost something “industrial” – that pushes the whole frag into unisex territory… I was very attracted and buffled at the same time while trying to find myself in it:-)) -that’s right : I lost my identity or, to put it in another way, happily gave it up, succumbed to the ultra extremes of the perfume:-) I Couldnt stop sniffing my wrists… And funnily enough – within half an hour you won’t feel it yourself but the others will – more and more. My husband (usually just tolerating the whole perfume hobby) was quite “hands on” this one … What a great magnet !! As time passes, it senda of occasional “white musk” powerful impulses just for you – to remind you that you are the privileged one to wear it today. Highly recommend for all the musk fans – it’s such a great experience – quite unexpected from JHAG house this time… The “weapon” that Ricci made available unlicensed…. Beware:-)

This is the third fragrance from the luxury line… I guess it’s safe to say his favorite note is tuberose

Yesterday i tried this one.First impression: different from normal Juliettes,not sweet,not sour notes,nothing compared to Midnight Oud or others i tried or own.Fresh kinda start and going wild by the minutes,and then the dryout,ohhhh what a perfume,wild and almost man on my skin but woman enough to want a bottle.Expensive stuff tho,almost 300 euros and not afforded at the moment.Level:Waiting.
