A (bleak) ode to the boys locker room
Although I'm tempted by some of the fragrances in LV's range, I've never gone out of my way to seek them out, test them or even buy them. I think you also see them much less often in stores than other fragrance collections at a similar level. Or even only at Vuitton itself? Too bad. On the other hand, I don't go through relevant shops and fashion stores nearly as extensively and often as I used to. In any case, I remember how it hung in mysterious limbo for what felt like years, whether LV would finally come out with a fragrance at all... and lo and behold - now there's already an abundance of them. So fast it can go.
And then one flew to me just yet... "L'Immensité"... and what can I say... write... pondering... philosophize... i'm flabbergasted. And unfortunately, not because it's the most brilliant fragrance ever. Not at all. Rather the opposite - "L'Immensite" is an immense disappointment. Or at least marked by immense understatement and immense unimaginativeness. Combined with sweat, grapefruit and locker room. No kidding. Shower gel for a fortune. Luxury meets puberty. Citrus splash kisses boredom. Wow. I hope this isn't a blueprint for the rest of the collection in terms of quality and even more so creatively. Otherwise, all these years of waiting and hype would be an even bigger joke than it already is. Don't get me wrong - "L'Immensité" might be a nice entry as a door opener and for little bonzenteens - but I just expect more. Much more. Much, much more.
Flacon: simple beauty
Sillage: transparent discreetly verpennt
Durability: nice 6-7 hours
Verdict: a Louis Vuitton perfume that smells like a dimmed Axe deodorant.... holy moly. Does this have thick balls or is this the biggest disappointment since it smells?
