🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum, 50 ml, built around roughly 20% fragrance oil, almost all of it cetalox and ambroxan rather than a blend of many ingredients. It costs an affordable €25, the same price on every scent we make. Free shipping applies from €49 and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun, the original this dupe is built from, is sold as an eau de parfum, and Silent Note matches that same concentration rather than a lighter eau de toilette.

Longevity runs long, often 6 to 10 hours, because ambroxan clings to skin longer than most traditional notes. French oils, small batches, filled by hand, vegan and cruelty free. You have 15 days to exchange it if it isn't right for you.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Silent Note is our perfume dupe of Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun, built around a single ingredient rather than a traditional pyramid. Top, heart and base all come from the same source, cetalox and ambroxan, so what you smell on application is close to what lingers hours later.

Cetalox reads clean, musky and faintly woody rather than sweet or floral, which is exactly the point behind the original and why people describe it as not a perfume in the first place. On skin it behaves less like a fragrance and more like a warm, ambery skin accord, and it genuinely smells like skin rather than a bottle. As a fragrance dupe built around one note, it isn't chasing a full traditional composition, it's after the same quiet effect the original is known for: something that smells like your own skin on a good day. Sillage stays soft and close, and projection is gentle even though the trail lasts for hours.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Silent Note

Inspired by: Not a Perfume, Juliette Has a Gun

Silent Note works in every season, from summer heat to the depths of winter, because there's no fruit or floral top note to fade in heat or disappear in cold, just the same warm, clean skin scent whatever the weather. Reach for it whenever you want something that reads like you rather than a loud statement fragrance.

It suits the office as easily as an evening out, since it never gets strong enough to be distracting. It's unisex by design, worn by men and women in close to equal numbers, and reads as easily for her as for him rather than sitting in a strictly masculine or feminine box.

Choose our Inspiration

Juliette Has a Gun is a French niche luxury perfume house founded by Romano Ricci, known for fragrances built around one striking idea rather than a full pyramid. Not a Perfume launched in 2010 as almost literally that: one ingredient, cetalox, bottled and marketed as the opposite of a traditional scent.

People usually just call it Not a Perfume, or Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume, and it's become one of the house's most searched fragrances, with perfume dupes built to chase that same single-note original. Reviews of the house's other perfumes often single this one out as the strangest release in a catalogue full of unusual scents, precisely because it reads more like skin than any of its other fragrances.

Why choose us?

Silent Note is our alternative to Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume. It's our own blend, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches, not sold under any licence from the original house, and not marketed as a clone chasing a full accord, just our version of the same single idea.

We keep it as an eau de parfum because that concentration holds the cetalox and ambroxan closest to skin for the longest stretch. If it doesn't smell similar to what you expected, send it back within 15 days and we'll sort an exchange.
