SpicyWhat does Illusione Bois Nu smell like?
Citrus leads the opening, while tiaré, clary sage and patchouli add a floral, green heart. The base of tonka bean, Akigalawood® and vanilla pulls the scent towards a woody, powdery, creamy sweetness. Overall it reads fresh and aquatic, with a light spicy edge.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, and few choose winter. Daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions, and most call it masculine and modern. Bottega Veneta Essence Aromatique and Amouage Sunshine Man have a close profile.
