Art of Arabia I Lattafa / لطافة

What can I say about this fragrance? For most people, it was immediately clear that this must be the next copy of LV Imagination. However, the pyramid offers a few differences that made me curious, so I had to get a bottling.
It arrived very quickly and I could hardly wait to test the fragrance.
Immediately after spraying it on, the Imagination Vibes naturally come to mind and the opening is simply very similar. I wouldn't compare it to Zara, it just smells much more artificial. But what is immediately noticeable is that everything is just a little more citrusy with a certain sharpness and freshness in the background. This comes first from the mint and later from the ginger. I only notice the lawendel very slightly, but the "sharp" freshness remains throughout. Cinnamon can only be guessed at in the drydown, the incense is simply more prominent here.
You can't help but be reminded of Imagination again and again. For me, the differences are simply due to the spiciness, a more citrusy DNA and the incense in the drydown, which gives the Art of Arabia I enough character traits of its own in my eyes.
The shelf life is okay and I would classify it as average Freshy.
Lattafa has once again delivered an interesting fragrance here, where price and quality are simply convincing.
