Imaginary

Scent Breakdown

Imaginary opens with a bright, zesty citrus accord dominated by bergamot. It's sharp, almost a bit too clean, lacking the subtle complexity present in Louis Vuitton's Imagination. The heart reveals the promised tea note, but it leans more towards a generic "fresh" aroma chemical than a refined oolong. The black pepper is present, adding a slight prickle. As it dries down, the ambroxan asserts itself, providing a modern, slightly salty backbone. The woody notes are present, grounding the fragrance. Compared to Imagination, it's approximately 95% similar, missing the smoother, more nuanced amber and ginger found in the original.

Projection Power

Projection is moderate for the first two hours, creating a pleasant scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is decent, lasting around 6-7 hours on my skin. While it lacks the refinement and depth of the Louis Vuitton fragrance, it offers a similar experience . If you appreciate the general style but are unwilling to invest in the original, Imaginary provides a satisfying alternative. However, those seeking the ultimate, hyper-realistic interpretation should save up for Imagination itself. A good choice for daily wear.
