Saheb Intense

The Scent Profile

Saheb Intense aims squarely for Louis Vuitton's Imagination, and it gets remarkably close. The opening is a bright, somewhat generic citrus blast – bergamot and lemon are clearly present, but lack the refined sparkle of the original. The heart moves into a pleasant, slightly peppery tea accord. It’s not as nuanced or smoothly blended as LV's version; a synthetic edge creeps in here. The base is where the clone leans heavily on ambroxan and musk. It's a clean, woody finish, similar to Imagination, but less sophisticated. I'd say it captures about 90% of the original's DNA.

How Long Does it Last?

This isn't a beast. Expect around 5-6 hours of longevity, with moderate projection for the first hour. After that, it becomes a skin scent. It’s perfectly adequate for daily wear, but won't turn heads across a room. Reapplication is necessary for a full day's wear.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Saheb Intense is a solid budget alternative to Louis Vuitton Imagination. Is it a perfect dupe? No. Does it capture the essence of the fragrance ? Absolutely. If you can't justify the hefty price tag of the original, and want a clean, fresh, and mass-appealing scent, this is a worthwhile purchase. the performance is acceptable. Recommended for those who appreciate a good deal and don't mind a touch of synthetic sharpness. The original is undoubtedly better, but is it ten times better? I'd argue not.
