Excellent fragrance; if you’re thinking of buying it blind, you won’t regret it. That said, I wouldn’t pay more than $50 for it.
It’s similar to Vuitton Imagination, but it has a black tea note, almost bitter, which taints the good scent slightly (an exaggerated characteristic the original doesn’t have), something that could be a pro or con depending on taste. As I have a sample of the Vuitton, that exaggerated tea note bothers me and turns my nose off to something more acidic, which puts me off. Apart from that, the scent is good; the Vuitton one is, an interesting citrus with good performance (even for me, who isn’t a fan of that perfumery). The longevity is decent, but I don’t see it as a perfume for hot weather, more of a daytime scent for autumns and springs. The price isn’t the best in the house, perhaps due to demand and hype. I recommend trying it without thinking of the original to decide if it suits your tastes. I, luckily or unluckily, tested them side by side and decided it’s not essential for my collection. I might have bought Imagination if it cost reasonably, otherwise I wouldn’t (the same goes for the rich but expensive Xerjoff Torino 21). Best wishes.
NOTABLE.
I should mention I don’t know the original LV perfume scent. I didn’t like this one; it reminded me of the critical smell of dishwashing products. Looking for second opinions, I saw a YouTube video by a perfumer who identified the Citral note, which he mentioned is exactly what’s used in dishwashing liquids.
Exquisite.
Every time I wear it, my wife and daughters tell me I smell spectacular. It’s not my favourite scent, but I love being told I smell good, and that’s exactly what I’ve received from wearing it. Very happy with the purchase.
This was a blind buy and it smells nice; however, I wouldn’t have bought it if I’d smelled it first. Here in Mexico, there’s a Palmolive soap that smells of mint which I use, and that was the first thing that came to mind when I smelled this perfume. I do recommend it, but I feel it doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve only just acquired it, so I’ll let it macerate to see if it develops.
It’s a fragrance that brings me a lot of peace; the scent is very rich.

I don’t know the LV, but this has a fresh opening and first half-hour, between aquatic, mint, and a slight citrus hint. It’s like a powdery citrus aftertaste, and then the mint lingers more according to my perception, something I haven’t found in other fragrances. But it doesn’t quite please me. Lasts 5-6 hours; I’ll test it fully in summer to see if it performs better. Price in Chile: $30 USD.
The drydown reminded me of Lalique White, then it settled into something akin to Imagination. It’s a lovely scent, though it lacks much projection.
The opening transported me back to years ago, instantly reminding me of Lalique White. Afterwards, the dry-down resembles Imagination. Very good scent, though it doesn’t seem very potent.
My experience: spectacular opening, but then in the dry-down I experience what happens with some aquatic perfumes: I feel that egg lettuce smell. I think it’s a component called calone. If I’m not mistaken, it smells super good, but that happens on my skin.
For me, with neutral and alkaline pH, almost 95% of perfumes I’ve tested stay as they do on the blotter or improve. Except this one, which smells like eggs with tea and orange. Other people in my circle find it spectacular: good scent, good trail, projection, and decent longevity, pleasant to wear and very fulfilling. Pity it smells bad on me, but it’s part of the job, isn’t it?
Clean, fresh, with a soapy touch and a hint of herbal astringency. I like it, but the performance is just adequate; it projects very little. With 7-8 sprays, it lasts about two, maybe three hours at most. After that, you have to press your nose right against the skin to catch that clean, talc-like scent until the fourth or fifth hour.
For me, who has a fairly neutral and alkaline pH, generally almost 95% of the perfumes I’ve tested stay true to the blotter or even improve. Except for this one, which leaves me smelling of eggs, tea, and orange. On other people in my circle, it’s spectacular. Good scent, good trail and projection, decent longevity leaning towards moderate. Pleasant to smell in the environment and very complimentary. Pity it smells bad on me, but that’s part of the job, isn’t it? 😄
Clean, fresh, slightly soapy, herbal, and astringent. I like it, but the performance seems fair: projects very moderately. With 7-8 sprays I notice about 2 hours, maximum 3 hours. After that, I have to press my nose against the skin to detect a clean and slightly powdery scent until the 4th or 5th hour.
I hate it, but don’t get me wrong: I’ve never heard of Imagination or other dupes. It starts with an opening that isn’t very citrusy or very green; I love it, a relaxing scent like a quiet Sunday at home. Then, a few minutes later, a super unpleasant egg smell hits, which is a shame because I like the fragrance and it ruined the experience. The presentation is brilliant, elegant, and luxury ceramic-style. Longevity 6/10, fresh, lasts approx 4 hours, decent for the price ($27). Projection 6/10, you need to apply good sprays. Overall 7/10. Due to the egg smell on my skin, don’t buy blindly, but if you fancy dressing up, go ahead.
Good afternoon. To everyone saying it smells like eggs, it’s not your fault. It happened to me too. I sprayed it on almost my whole family and the same thing occurred. Even on clothes, the egg smell was present. In summary: the problem is the PERFUME, not your pH or coincidence, because everyone in my family got that egg smell, even on the fabric. If you want something similar to LV Imagination, there are better options that don’t smell like eggs.
Hello to those saying it smells like eggs—it’s not your fault, it’s the perfume! It happened to me too. I sprayed it on my whole family and they all reacted the same way, even on their clothes. In short: the fault lies with the fragrance, not pH or coincidence, as everyone in my family smelled it the same way, even on fabric. If you’re looking for something similar to LV Imagination but without the egggy note, there are better options available.
Spectacular scent, totally citrus with mint and ginger. The downside is it doesn’t last more than 3 hours with a poor trail, but for the price it’s perfect for reapplying without any issues.
Underrated perfume and one of my best surprises. Incredible scent: citrus, fresh, aromatic, and deep. Well-rounded from start to finish. It begins vibrant with citrus, ginger, and herbs, making it refreshing and sparkling, then evolves into something elegant with tea and a distinctive aquatic base. Don’t buy it blindly because the tea note is very prominent and might clash with some palates, but I absolutely love it. Decent longevity, around 4-5 hours with a very nice personal bubble. It doesn’t fill the room, but the scent compensates for that. Revitalising for enjoying alone. Is it the best dupe for LV Imagination? No, for me it’s Kobra. Is it good? Excellent. Recommended to give it a try.
Undervalued perfume and one of the great discoveries I’ve had. Spectacular, citrusy, fresh, aromatic, and deep scent. Round from the opening to the dry down. Vibrant citrus opening accompanied by ginger and herbs that make it refreshing and sparkling. Then the dry down transforms into something elegant with the tea note and the aquatic base that make it distinctive. I don’t recommend buying it blind as the tea note has a strong presence and might clash with some, but I personally like it. Decent longevity, I’ve got about 4-5 hours and a very good personal bubble. It’s not for filling rooms, but the fantastic scent makes up for it. Revitalising perfume to enjoy on your own. Is it the best dupe for LV Imagination? No. For me, it’s the Kobra. Is it a good perfume? Brilliant. I encourage you to give it a try.
