Illusion by Matin Martin is a sensory journey that transforms the everyday into a nuanced mirage. The opening surprises with the resinous brilliance of juniper berries intertwined with the soft sweetness of tonka beans, while delicate hints of vanilla immediately provide a gourmand caress. The heart reveals an enveloping leather accord, warmed by golden amber that radiates a spicy, silky light. Deeper, a herbaceous touch of maté amplifies the earthy dimension and adds a slightly bitter edge that balances the roundness of the leather; the result is a dry and sophisticated drydown, capable of projecting itself on the skin for over eight hours. The olfactory pyramid, essential yet structured, embodies the house's philosophy: fine materials and French savoir-faire fused with Middle Eastern aesthetics.
