Close to the model
I have almost all the dupe's and clones from the Imagination.... should be around 10.

Then I thought long and hard about whether I should also order this one.
Well...since I'm perfume-crazy and I have no more space either way, it ended up in my collection.
Well...the small bottle with the large cap doesn't look like much, but it's handy.
Before we went out for dinner...a proper application.
My wife immediately said how delicious it smelled.
I tried the original once some time ago....and I have to say, this little inconspicuous fragrance puts all other dupes in the shade.
The original just lacks a little depth and complexity....I would say 90 - 95%.
If you don't yet have an alternative to Imagination, but would like to try something like this, you can confidently save yourself all the others and should buy it right here.

My first fragrance review - Saheb Intense - LV with a twist
I'm new to the world of fragrances and am attempting my first review here. It all started with Louis Vuitton Imagination - a fragrance that immediately inspired me. Fresh, elegant, simply special. Since then, I've been curious to find out more.

I quickly realized that there is a lot of hype surrounding many perfumes - not always entirely justified, but some fragrances simply have something unique about them. My nose isn't particularly trained yet, but Saheb Intense immediately appealed to me.

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Imagination and with Saheb Intense I found a fragrance that definitely reminds me of it - but is not a simple clone for me. It brings its own, slightly spicy twist and therefore has its own effect.

Lasts about 6 hours on me, the projection is good at first, later rather subtle. Ideal for everyday wear or warmer days - and at a price where you can do little wrong.

Conclusion: A successful introduction for fragrance enthusiasts like me - and a real recommendation for fans of fresh, citrusy fragrances.

Very helpful Review 6  
Ulala has something!
In my opinion, Saheb Intense is clearly in the Louis Vuitton corner in terms of Imagination, but also Afternoon Swim.
We also have a great fragrance for the summer here, not quite as fine, but still really nice.

The fragrance starts off super fresh and citrusy with hints of tea. I get something in the direction of a very strong bergamot, ginger and tea here. I even think I get light orange vibes, which Afternoon Swim also has, by the way.
After about 2-3 hours, however, the fragrance flattens out a little and doesn't seem quite as citrusy.
It's a little bumpier and, in my opinion, now also has a pleasant woody note, as well as a very pleasant patchouli.

All in all, however, it is a really nice fragrance and, especially for this price, there is absolutely nothing to say against it.
What the house of Lattafa has done here again is really top.
Ard Al Zaafaran is also part of Lattafa.

A great but still unknown LV Imagination alternative
Since the Saheb Intense is supposed to smell the same as the "Art of Arabia I | Lattafa / لطافة", I had to try it out.
Both are "dupes" of Imagination.
This one is even cheaper than the Lattafa and definitely knows how to convince.

I compared it to another Imagination alternative, the Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Eau de Parfum and I have to say the Zara smells inferior, more pungent and not as rounded as the Ard Al Zaafaran.
The tea note also seems more natural and prominent in Ard Al Zaafaran.
Nevertheless, the two are 80-85% similar.

About the fragrance :
Saheb Intense starts very citrusy-fresh, with a very prominent tea note.
A slight sweetness is also noticeable, but the freshness predominates.
The opening is definitely sweeter than the opening of the original.
It is already clear here that Saheb is rather inspired and not intended to be a 1:1 dupe.

In the DD I perceive something slightly floral in addition to the notes mentioned, could it be neroli? Hard to say.
However, the floral component is much less pronounced than in the original.
There is also a very subtle spiciness like ginger.
And that's exactly what I notice at the end. A light spiciness, a citrusy, cooling freshness, with a very light sweetness and, of course, the tea note.
Everything is really super smooth and not a bit synthetic or alcoholic.

Of course, the performance suffers accordingly.
You have to overspray here to be noticed.
But that's quite normal for a freshie.
Nevertheless, it lasted 6 hours on my skin.

My conclusion: a great alternative to the expensive original.
Perfect for the summer, for the gym, in the office, a fragrance that will please the masses, super safe and definitely a bargain for the price.
Currently sold out, but I'm sure it will definitely be back soon.
It's a unisex fragrance, but I see it more on a man, which is important to mention.
If you like fragrances that make you smell like you've just showered, without that "shower gel" vibe, you can also buy this without hesitation.
