What does Lavender Illusion smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the settings named most often. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

The top notes of blackcurrant, galbanum and finger lime give a fresh, green, fruity opening. Lavender and Provençal lavender take the heart, with a floral side softened by a touch of sweetness and spice. Musk, patchouli and pine form a woody base.
