The one Lattafa fragrance that convinced.
Short history, feel free to skip (HERE is the fragrance description) I have tested and owned some Lataffa, Bade'e Al Oud - Oud for Glory , Bade'e Al Oud - Honor & Glory , Nasheet , Eternal Oud and Atlas !
I liked them all. Good quality, great (extravagant) OVP, good prices, often close to the original. But none of them stayed, something annoyed me in the end or, as with Oud for Greatness, drew me to the original. I still have a positive opinion of Lattafa and I'm always alert when new hypes emerge.
I missed the Imagination hype for a long time. At some point, I came across a 30 ml bottle via a sharing and fell in love. i emptied 30 ml and reordered another 30 ml. Always at fair prices and in these beautiful little mini LV bottles. I don't go along with the moon prices for remaining bottles. There are hardly any alternatives. The Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Eau de Parfum is a good Cheapie with a distant relationship but not nearly as good.
HERE: The Art of Arabia I is different. Now to the point: the fragrance opens citrically sharp, has something of washing-up liquid. I was about to wash it off and give this Lattafa back. But then, after about 10-15 minutes, this typical Imagination aura develops. Tea, cinnamon, bergamot and ambroxan. It then becomes very similar to the original. A little fresher, a little more cinnamon but much closer than the Zara. Really beautifully realized, albeit with a note of its own. I don't get any incense here, but it does bring a certain warmth to the base. It also arrives quite quickly. The H/S is comparable to the original, perhaps a little weaker. I was able to perceive the fragrance well for 2-3 hours, then it remains close to the skin for some time.
I bought the fragrance too expensive. At the original price, it is an absolute no-brainer for Imagiantion fans on a tight budget. At the current price, I would try it first.
OVP is typically Lattafa outstanding, the bottle is (once again) a matter of taste. I don't like it, but the sprayer is good and the OVP is quite respectable.
It's convincing and can stay. The Imagination will probably not move in with me again.

Marrakech as a scented candle from FlyingTiger
I visited Morocco this year in May. Take a look at my review of "№ 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain (Eau de Toilette Intense) | Tauer Perfumes". For me, the absolute blueprint in terms of olfactory interpretation of this...
