Anyway
Fragrance notes
Character
Anyway by Juliette Has A Gun opens with a sharp, almost electric spritz of lime and neroli, a citrus slap that fizzes like soda water on a hot afternoon. Within moments the jasmine creeps in, but it’s not the heady, indolic kind that lingers in a conservatory; it’s a pale, dewy bloom, quickly swallowed by a massive dose of ambroxan and hedione. The base is all clean musk and woody splinters, a skeleton of a fragrance that refuses to flesh out. The overall character is that of a white linen shirt left to dry in the sun, then crumpled and forgotten in a drawer: crisp, faintly floral, and maddeningly quiet. What’s here is pleasant and inoffensive enough, a toothpaste-fresh blend of citrus and synthetic woods that leans far more mainstream than niche, but the numbers tell the real story. With a longevity barely scraping three hours and a sillage that evaporates before you’ve left the room, Anyway feels like a promise it cannot keep. It suits someone who wants a whisper of scent for a mild spring morning, perhaps applied liberally before a brunch that ends by noon. Skip it if you expect your perfume to arrive before you do. The whole thing is a polite shrug, a fragrance that opens its mouth and forgets what it was going to say.
