The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Bottega Veneta.

Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Bottega Veneta Illusione for Her is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Bottega Veneta's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Illusione for Her by Bottega Veneta, released in 2019 and created by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Annick Menardo, is a well-received women's fragrance known for its fresh green-citrus-woody character. Rated 4.16/5 from 1,726 votes, it is often praised for a blend of bergamot and black currant top notes that open bright, a heart built around fig leaf and orange blossom that reads green and floral, and a base of olive tree and tonka bean that gives a soft woody-sweet finish. The main accords are prominently green and citrus, with clear woody and white floral facets, and the scent is commonly chosen for daytime wear.
Our take
I like Illusione for Her for its fresh green quality and the way fig leaf and olive tree give it a slightly savory, leafy backbone while orange blossom and tonka add a soft floral-sweetness. The blend feels clean and wearable for daytime, especially in spring and summer. My main complaint is inconsistent performance: some samples are intimate and short-lived, others project and last much longer. On a few skins it can read a bit soapy or thin, so testing on skin is essential before committing to a full bottle.

Dominant Accords
The Bottle
Illusione for Her has a clear-looking, tall rectangular bottle with rounded corners and pale peach-pink liquid. The broad dark reddish-brown cap dominates the upper half, creating a sharp contrast with the contents. It is a conventional form, but that oversized cap gives the bottle a memorable, slightly top-heavy character.
Original or Clone
Authorship gives Illusione for Her a clear reason to buy as the original: Amandine Clerc-Marie and Annick Menardo are credited with its composition. The fragrance’s Green, Citrus and Woody accords also help explain its standing; three interpretations from two houses are currently tracked, meaning other makers have considered this particular character worth pursuing. That does not make an interpretation an unreasonable purchase, but the named perfumers give the original a distinction the copies cannot share.
