A closer look at Bottega Veneta Illusione Bois Nu EDT
Illusione Bois Nu EDT is made by Bottega Veneta. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €59. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Coach Floral.
Illusione Bois Nu for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Philosophy Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere unisex has more depth.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Milton Lloyd Colour Me Green lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like woody notes and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Milton Lloyd Colour Me Green spreads further.
