This is only voted no.1 in Men's perfume because of lemming behaviour. This is a fine perfume, but it's not worth the money or the laudation

A violent Arnold Palmer. Maybe it smells good in the air, but while wearing it you are trapped in a prison devoid of any breathable air.

Good scent. Quite simple is well done. Nothing new to my nose. Quite common. It should be sold 60% cheaper.

This is bliss in a bottle. It’s such a calming fragrance, worth every penny. Performance is monstrous on my skin. 24+ hours easily.

Summer in a bottle, fresh, relaxing and elegant. Citric and aquatic. Orange, soft cinnamon, ginger, black tea, Ambrox and a hint of incense.

3 samples later. Really tried. You can get the same smell by throwing a handful of dryer sheets in with your laundry.

Is it that good?
Before the pandemic and the blind buys, one would go to perfumery - tell the seller what he/she would like then get an advice and some testers to try -> purchase.

I have done this for many years and now everything has changed: Youtube, Parfumo and the power of suggestion are there.

I have taken 5ml from Imagination from a sharing and I was mega impressed how long lasting this can be, it was really performing for 7 - 8 in a classy manner, to tell you it´s there but not to disturb you like Interlude or even Ombre Nomade.

After few months I got a bottle as a gift from my beautiful wife and I am very glad about this new addition to my collection, however:

Is the scent so good and well blended or it is the aura of LV exclusivity and the power of suggestion because it is rated no. 1 on Parfumo?

I would say it´s a mix of both and if you would like to hear more about it, please check my video.

The archetype of blah
I don’t leave reviews often, but this one inspired me based on the popularity of it in contrast with my experience.

The brief must’ve been “Jacques, make the most boring, pleasant, fresh scent reminiscent of laundry detergent.” Nailed it.

I’ve been wearing this one all week to see what the hype is about. Trying to find an excuse to buy a bottle, because dang it, it’s #1 on the men’s perfumes chart! I really wanted to give it a chance.

Opens nice enough with the citrusy top. If you dig deep enough you get the listed black tea note with a hint of cinnamon. After 30 minutes or so it dries down to some rather boring, pleasant, clean smell reminiscent of dryer sheets or fabric softener. Any rough edge has been carefully smoothed off. I don’t have much more to say than that. That’s what you get scent-wise.

There is nothing here that makes me feel anything. Nothing pulls at my heart. It never says “yes! Wear me today!” Nothing exciting about it, at all. And I think that’s exactly what the kind of people who like this are looking for. And that’s okay! Wear what you like when you like.

I could not imagine (pun intended) a scent more aimed at those looking for a blasé, über-pleasant, non-intrusive-under-any-circumstance, clean, fresh fabric softener smell. If that’s what you’re looking for, look no further. There’s not one person in the world that would find this in any way offensive (or attention-grabbing, for better or worse). It is the antithesis of Kouros and raw animalic ouds. It is, to me and my nose with my experience, the archetype of blah.

In any case, as a collector, it may end up in my collection some day simply because I have nothing else quite like it. For those days that I just want something… meh. Something that doesn’t alter my mood, or make me think, or distract me from the day’s tasks at hand. Heck, I might get it simply to spray down my clothes or bedding after they come out of the dryer. Would be perfectly suitable! Although I’m sure there are cheaper ways to do this…

Disclaimer: this is not intended as either a negative or positive review. It is only my thoughts as they are written down to best describe my personal experience with this perfume.

Oh’ the Summer breeze
This fragrance should be the lesson to everyone, why it is important to try out for yourself before judging, based on other People’s comments. .
How this has 7.7 in longevity is a mystery to me. . I put it on at 10:00 and i could still smell it at 00:00 in the Night. Now, that would be crazy even for a heavy cold weather fragrance, But for this freshie, it deserves a much better rating than 7.7 in longevity. Only explanation i could have for it, is early batches are strong. Dunno what other reason it could be.

A perfect fragrance, nonetheless. . Summer in a bottle.

Huge disappointment...
I couldn't wait to try this perfume, I was expecting the most beautiful fresh scent ever, but having learned the experience before buying, I had to try it. And? Shock.
It literally smells like expensive glass cleaner, has a bit of soap, shower gel and shaving foam. Sometimes it even gives the impression of freshly washed laundry. I can't understand the hype.
Performance is pretty average.
The perfume is not to my taste.
I bought Afternoon Swim but I regretted, but it's definitely better than Imagination.
I have to admit that I don't like Louis Vuitton perfumes.

Powerful Freshie
Wonderfully executed citric tea fragrance. From the most captivating a refreshing top notes, you would expect the fragrance to last only a couple of hours on skin but its punches throughout the day. With 3 sprays, I get strong wafts all the way through my day and it can even be distinguished on my clothes after they've been in the wash! The cinnamon in this fragrance really stands out to me and gives it an aromatic touch that makes it stand out, yet being very mass appealing. Best fresh fragrance 10/10
