Illusione by Bottega Veneta opens with a bright and zesty wave of lemon, immediately followed by the subtler touch of bitter orange. It's a fresh and citrusy start that's invigorating without being overbearing.

As you continue to breathe in the scent, the composition transitions smoothly into the heart, where the vivid aroma of white cedarwood takes the lead. This intense woody note is softened by the comforting, subtly sweet undertones of fir balsam. Together, these middle notes create a green, forest-like impression, with a hint of spiciness lurking beneath the surface.As the perfume settles, it unveils its base of tonka bean and vetiver. These earthy elements round out the fragrance beautifully. The tonka bean adds a touch of warmth, its inherent sweetness tempered by the grassy, slightly bitter quality of vetiver.
