Sumptuous and shimmering like liquid gold, Oil Fiction is conceived as a royal elixir where saffron’s red glow melts into the warm yellow radiance of amber, with opulent white florals adding a couture sheen. The feel is plush and enveloping yet polished, a glamorous amber floral that moves from luminous spice to a velvety, resinous embrace for a confident evening signature with undeniable presence.

Story and Positioning
Oil Fiction was conceived to play with light and generosity, pairing radiant spice and gilded amber with creamy florals for a voluptuous trail that reads suave and slightly animalic. Originally a collector’s release, its success secured a permanent place within Juliette has a Gun’s Luxury Collection alongside creations such as Moon Dance, White Spirit, Liquid Illusion, and Into the Void. If you enjoy the opulent amber and floral style of icons like Chanel Coco, Tom Ford Black Orchid, or Hermès L’Ambre des Merveilles, Oil Fiction sits in that same glamorous sphere while retaining the house’s modern edge.
Bottle and Design
The fragrance is housed in a substantial rectangular glass flacon with crisp lines, clear walls that reveal deep amber juice, and refined gilded detailing topped by a sleek metal cap. Presentation underscores the haute touch, arriving in a lacquered wooden box that in early runs appeared in glossy black and in current production presents as a bright modern white, making the unboxing feel ceremonial and display worthy.
