Liquid Illusion

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Juliette Has a Gun Liquid Illusion

Liquid Illusion is a gentle powdery almond scent, and our version keeps that feel: a soft heliotrope opening, an almond and tonka heart, and a warm resinous base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Juliette Has a Gun built Liquid Illusion around a soft, second skin feel, pairing powdery heliotrope and iris with a sweet almond warmth for something comforting and modern.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the heliotrope and iris soft up top, let almond and tonka warm the middle, and finish on a smooth amber and benzoin base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a cosy, powdery, skin like scent and wants a niche style fragrance without the niche price.

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style at a much lower price.
