Illusion by Louis Cardin, released in 2011, is a clean, soft musk for men with rose and orange. Musky is the word everyone uses; about half also call it floral and citrusy.
Orange opens it with a sweet, juicy brightness, less sharp than lemon or grapefruit. Rose sits in the middle, soft and petal-like rather than heavy, lending a gentle floral warmth that reads more smooth than feminine. The base is where the fragrance really lives: musk and white musk together, clean, slightly powdery and skin-like, the kind of scent associated with fresh laundry and warm skin rather than anything animalic.
It is a quiet, close-wearing fragrance that suits daytime, the office and warmer weather, when a soft musk feels most comfortable. It suits someone who wants a subtle masculine scent that smells clean and well kept rather than projecting across a room, and who likes a touch of rose without a full floral.
