If you're reading this, we have something in common: we both love Juliette Has A Gun fragrances.

The perfume brand is behind several of our reader-loved, bestselling fragrance options. And it's not just E! readers who love it; E! editors love Juliette Has A Gun perfumes too.

An editors swears that one particular Juliette Has A Gun scent gets her compliments every time she wears it. Another editor is obsessed with the high quality of the glass perfume bottle and the richness of each fragrance note. 

Instead of just telling you to invest in a fragrance discovery set (such tiny samples, and you always end up with a few you don't like), we decided to put our noses to the test and give some of the brand's most popular scent options a whiff. And out of all the delicious scents, there was a clear staff favorite. 

We tested five perfumes from the brand, all with very different notes. We smelled vanilla and musk-forward options, a sparkling fruity fragrance, woody ambroxan-filled scents, a unique raspberry scent, and a romantic fragrance one editor says will be her "signature scent" on a night out.

And just because it's a great perfume doesn't mean it has to come with a great big price tag. In fact, all of these fragrances are on sale now.

Juliette Has A Gun Women's Pear Inc eau de parfum

If you enjoy a fruity, fresh scent, go for Juliette Has a Gun Pear Inc.

"This scent really surprised me in the best way," says NBCU Checkout social editor Simone Thomas. "It's been one of the first ones I reach for because of the freshness."

The perfume features elements of green pear accord, ambroxan, and musks. "It wears crisp and refreshing on the skin, likely from the citrus notes," Thomas explains. "Yet it still has a delicateness to it that feels relaxed and feminine."

Juliette Has A Gun Women's Lipstick Fever eau de parfum

"This perfume is very sweet, and I immediately noticed the raspberry notes when I first smelled it. It's great for anyone who loves fruity and floral scents," Thomas says of the powdery, floral fragrance.

"I've never smelled a fragrance like this one. Wear this if you really want to stand out!" NBCU Checkout senior editor Lily Rose says.

 

Juliette Has A Gun Women's Vanilla Vibes Ladies eau de parfum

"I'm a huge vanilla perfume fan, and I thought this would give a true vanilla. However, it smells more coconut-y and sunny, sort of like you just applied sunscreen—but in the best possible way," Rose says.

The scent features notes of sea salt, natural vanilla, and sandalwood. "As it wears down, the sea salt really comes through, and it's nice and light. This is a great choice for summer!" she continues.

 

Juliette Has A Gun Women's Sunny Side up eau de parfum

"It's a sleepy, vanilla-soaked, woody-floral scent that feels both dreamy and comforting," says Rose. "If you're a fan of santal scents but worry that they wear too heavy on your skin, Sunny Side Up is a great option!"

This perfume features notes of amyris, Jasmine lactone, sandalwood, and vanilla absolute. "It's a great scent for date night thanks to its sexy sandalwood and vanilla profiles," Rose shares.

Juliette Has A Gun Women's Lady Vengeance eau de parfum

This romantic-yet-edgy scent, made in collaboration with perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, was our favorite of the scents we tried. It opens with notes of Bulgarian rose, patchouli, lavender, and vanilla.

"I love that this perfume has a sultry and alluring scent that's so feminine," Thomas says. "Once it settles on the skin, you can really smell the rose and bergamot, giving off this rich aroma. It's the perfect fragrance to wear on a date night out. In fact, it might become my signature date night scent!"

"It also has amazing staying power. I tried this on in the morning and could still smell it hours later when I left work," Rose shares. "Someone in the elevator even complimented me on the scent!"
