Oil Fiction

I agree with Cauda Pravonis review: "A lovely, retro-ish offering from JHaG, and much more interesting than their usual fare. A smooth, bright vanilla floral. Not as ambery as one would think from looking at the notes. Soapy with just a touch of sweetness. This is a lovely and fairly moderate white floral; the tuberose is, thankfully, quite restrained. A tasteful rendition of the vintage style; refined and very feminine." However, I would add that this perfume stands on it's own as quite unique. It is something that is unusual, despite it's familiar qualities. It is so smoothly blended that it has created something unique in it's own right. Full body worthy, definitely. In fact my second full bottle is on it's way. If this was a meal I had just eaten, I would rub my stomach and say, "Yum!" Oh and by the way, the bottles that this and Moon Dance come in are sleek and beautiful. With the full bottles of perfume, the color of perfumes will look different depending on the light that are reflected on them at different angles. I have seen purple and I have seen burgundy, even blue. What I truly enjoy about the bottles that this and Moon Dance is that the backs are sleek and beautiful. The backs of the bottles have a gold plate that have the exact wording that are on the front of the bottles. Like you are looking at the writing on the front through the gold plate. Truly sleek and fabulous. Just like the perfumes

A masterpiece. Hear me out on this one. I love smelling samples and from time to time , even ladies perfumes. This fragrance was one of those that sounded interesting to me. A amber scent, that was like a second skin, and meant to be seductive. I tried this and thought it was good, similar to costume national nude, but better quality and more rounded. I was disappointed when I thought it had died 2 to 3 hours later. Then after twenty or so minutes it returned like the phoenix, but instead of a skin like amber scent, it was more floral bright and projected well. I was surprised by this evolution and I was not prepared for it.It lasted another 3 hours or so. Total longevity 6 to 8 hours , projection fair and then good.Also,Along the way I kept getting a whisper or nuance of versace eros poure femme that I love. Sandalwood is here and maybe a soft mellow cinnamon too. One of the best ladies perfumes I have ever smelled !

A gorgeous vintage noir creation, this one is an utterly unique creation from JHAG. It reveals itself as an animalic floral at first with a rather feminine iris/tuberose like beginning which only temporarily hides the oriental notes that start appearing in succession: bergamot, ylang ylang, labdanum, papyrus, saffron, amber, patchouli, ambroxan, vanilla and sandalwood. Just like a noir film where the seductress vamp appears beautiful and romantic on the surface only to reveal a true femme fatale at the end, this one also is full of twists and turns. More on the feminine side but can be worn by edgy men with patience for the dry down, this fragrance has very strong sillage and projection. Truly rewarding for the patient and unusual perfume lovers, this is a very interesting modern perfumery creation that somehow ends up winning my attention.

Sexy, sultry, seductive, Oil Fiction was created back when Juliette was still a badass with a gun. I can't speak for the recent re-release, but I was lucky enough to snag an original bottle of this beauty, and she is so damn good. Absolutely intoxicating! This is a grown-up fragrance for a woman who knows what she wants. This fragrance definitely has a vintage 90s vibe, but she doesn't read dated. She's far too classy for that. The notes are masterfully blended into something deep, rich, ambery, woody. The ylang-ylang and patchouli shine, as does the creamy, opulent tuberose, and there is a sweetness to the musk in the drydown that makes my head spin. Don't let the bizarre, ill-suited name fool you. This fragrance is reminiscent of a mysterious femme fatale, not for the faint of heart but worth it.

This is a very interesting fragrance. The first word to spring to mind was balsamic. It is all very well blended so it's not easy identifying notes. I definitely get the ambroxan, amber, tuberose and ylang pretty much standing shoulder to shoulder followed shortly by vanilla. If you concentrate then after a while you pick up the iris. I've worked out what the special element is in this. It's the papyrus that makes this an usual oriental. I can't stand it in JS Fancy Nights but it works for me here. I suspect my chemistry amps up papyrus. The patch, saffron and bergamot are tucked right at the back. I find it hard to categories this fragrance. It stands alone. I'd wear it anytime! Moderate silage but amazing longevity.
