Lavender Illusion

Wonderfully refreshing opening. I'm loving the pure herbal lavender in this one, and the fact that it has been mixed only very lightly with other notes. Agree with another reviewer who said you get an expensive French soap smell, and that this is so much better than the lavender in YSL Libre. There's really no comparison! The kind of lavender I want is almost herbaceous and as close to the plant as possible. I get that from Lavender Illusion. The pine is an intriguing addition and I definitely pick that up here and there. It gives my nose a zing when I pick it up. I also love the juicy black currant, it's such a nice addition that rounds it out. Very classy. Unisex. Great longevity, it's been 9 hours and I can still smell it without even trying. However, it changed after maybe 4-6 hours and now I mainly get just the musk and some lavender. I love it anyway. FIVE STARS, this is a VERY well made scent! I love the Viktor & Rolf house. Bonus: you won't smell like anyone else!

I love Lavender Illusion, It’s like a fresh bath ! You will smell freshly bathed in this perfume , it’s phantastic. Lavender takes its traditional way with a soapy fresh unisex note but has a nice fruity sweet twist with a touch of pine in it. The musk and the pine is so good to me I can’t get enough. The lavender and the fruits together is so yummy and aromatic I could smell this all the time. My brand new bottle is already a quarter gone , I prefer it to lavender on the rocks and I slightly prefer it to my favorite lavender perfume, Jersey. The only thing that needs improvement with this one is longevity in my opinion. I respray this all day long , I either get so use to it or it blends so well with my body chemistry,,,or it’s just somewhat weak. Getting lots of compliments with it , so people must be able to smell it. When I ask them how they would describe the smell ,they say , freshly bathed , schampoo, aromatic ,just clean and sweet and simply good.

The notes by votes is really dependent on when you smell it - what stage? On initial blast, it's all lavender and pine. Very unisex. The dry down comes kind of quick, and I am not complaining! Enter "finger lime" like a fresh frozen marg with a sugar rim and sprigs of lavender. Definitely more feminine and unique. Not really picking up currant, and I definitely do in other frags. I will update, if that changes. Overall, nice! Update: it’s a scorcher today and I definitely smell currant now! I like it more in temperate weather, rather than cold. It’s still nice in the cold, though.

Beautiful fresh lavender and pine! I'm very picky about lavender and this one sits so well with me. And the pine is gorgeous! I love pine in perfumes! I had no plan to buy this because it of it called "lavender ", but I received a decant of this with another order I had placed. I'm so thankful she threw this in with my order. I plan on buying a full bottle if I can fine it.

I tested the entire Magic collection and Lavender Illusion along with Dancing Roses were the only two I loved at 1st sniff. It is a happy mood booster fragrance. I agree with others who posted that this scent associated with a Christmas tree. Since I got it back in 2018 it's been my signature scent for winter holiday season. Such a shame this is discontinued :'(
