{"product_id":"reinvented-illusion-extrait-de-parfum-75ml","title":"Reinvented Illusion Extrait de Parfum (75ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIllusion is an oriental fruity extrait de parfum, which the brand describes as a waking hallucination on the thin line between dream and reality. It opens sweet and fruity, moves through rose and spice, and rests on vanilla, amber and balsamic woods. The brand calls it genderless, with a warm trail that lingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Dried Fruits, Cotton Sugar, Juniper Berries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose, Saffron, Clove Buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Sweet Vanilla, Amber, Gurjum Balm, Cabreuva, Cedarwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSugar and juniper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried fruits and cotton sugar give the first minutes a dense, soft sweetness. Juniper berries cut across it with a cool, resinous clarity, so the opening does not collapse into syrup. It reads like fruit seen through haze: round at the centre, with a sharper edge on the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose, saffron, clove\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart moves from sweet to spiced. Rose adds petal softness, saffron a dry golden warmth, and clove buds a sharp, warm bite. Together they steer the fruit away from plain sweetness and toward the oriental side the brand names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalsam and wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is built from vanilla, amber, gurjum balm, cabreuva and cedarwood. Vanilla and amber lay down a warm, sweet floor; the balm and the two woods dry it out and add a resinous depth. This is the long part of the scent, close and warm, and the reason the brand speaks of a trail that lingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCool weather, evening light\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extrait of this richness is at home in autumn and winter and at evening occasions. Two sprays are plenty: one on the chest, one on a wrist. The sweetness is real but held in check by juniper and wood, so it does not feel heavy even in a heated room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor wearers who enjoy the sweet and spiced side of perfumery but still want structure: fruit and vanilla, held in shape by rose, clove and wood. It is listed as unisex. A good fit if you like warmth and a visible trail, and dinners or dressed-up occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Reinvented Illusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand gives Illusion a clear concept and a full three-tier pyramid, shown here as it publishes it. Douglas Morel and Cristian Calabrò are credited as the perfumers. The black bottle with a coloured glass sphere as its cap is the signature of the whole range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat kind of perfume is Illusion?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand calls it a genderless oriental fruity fragrance.
