What does Illusion d'Un Soir smell like?

The top opens with mandarin orange, lavender and bergamot. In the heart, tobacco, benzoin, labdanum, cumin and cinnamon build a spicy, resinous warmth. The base of gaiac wood, patchouli, musk, vanilla and amber carries it into a powdery, oriental sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out rather than the office. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though it works as unisex. Parfums de Marly Oajan and Omnia Profumi Ambra have a close profile.
