Illusione for Him

by Antoine Maisondieu

Bottega Veneta Illusione for Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Antoine Maisondieu. Illusione for Him opens with Bitter Orange and Lemon, settles into a heart of Fir Resin and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Tonka Bean. Bottega Veneta's Illusione for Him carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a solid, understated freshie for the grown-up crowd, though its fleeting performance is a real sticking point for many. A classy, Italian-style scent that won't shout, but definitely whispers quality.

About

Illusione for Him opens with a bright, crisp blend of bitter orange and zesty lemon, instantly awakening the senses. It quickly settles into a sophisticated heart of clean fir resin and cedar that evokes a walk through a cool, green forest. The base introduces a grounded vetiver with a subtle hint of creamy tonka bean, adding a touch of smooth warmth without ever becoming overtly sweet. It's an airy, woody citrus perfect for warmer weather.
