Bottega Veneta Illusione Eau de Parfum

The Story
Illusione Eau de Parfum is a warm, woody floral that feels like a soft cashmere sweater. It opens with bright bergamot and bitter orange, then settles into a heart of orange blossom and iris. The base is a creamy blend of sandalwood, olibanum, and tonka bean. It's elegant, comforting, and surprisingly long-lasting for a floral.
