Which Should You Buy?
Oil Fiction is a polarising beast: some praise its opulent, vintage amber-floral warmth as a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as outdated, soapy, and drowned in ambroxan. It’s got a loyal following, but definitely not a blind-buy.
Stellar takes Louis Vuitton's Stellar Times orange blossom-to-amber-vanilla arc and simplifies it - the transition from bright top to warm base happens faster and with less nuance than Jacques Cavallier Belletrud's original, landing as a pleasant but noticeably flatter amber vanilla.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it a bold choice, best suited for evenings out or cooler weather events where it can truly shine without overpowering. The rich amber and floral accords lean more towards sophisticated gatherings than casual or athletic wear.
Seasons
The warm amber-vanilla base suits cooler months best, with fall and winter as the strongest fit and a softer showing in spring; too heavy for high summer heat.
Occasions
A polished amber-vanilla scent that reads elegant enough for the office and formal settings while remaining versatile for evening dates.
