Juliette Has A Gun Oil Fiction is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Oil Fiction opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Amber, Patchouli, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Juliette Has A Gun's Oil Fiction carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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a polarising beast: some praise its opulent, vintage amber-floral warmth as a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as outdated, soapy, and drowned in ambroxan.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.

About

Oil Fiction swirls with luscious tuberose and ylang-ylang, softened by a powdery iris and grounded by a rich, somewhat dry amber. Hints of saffron and patchouli add a spicy, earthy depth, while an underlying whisper of vanilla brings a creamy sweetness. The papyrus note lends an unexpected, clean, almost green edge that keeps it from being overtly heavy, even as the ambroxan amplifies its presence.
