What does L'Illusiomagiste smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays near the skin without filling the room. Voters spread their picks almost evenly across the seasons, with spring and fall slightly ahead. Daily wear, leisure and business are the settings named most often. More voters call it masculine, though a good share read it as feminine.

Lemon and sage give a bright, green start, while lavender and black pepper pull it towards an aromatic, spicy side. Madagascan vetiver forms a woody backbone, and frankincense absolute with elemi resin adds a soft, creamy, faintly smoky resinous touch.
