In fact, I like the DNA of Cavallier-Belletrud fragrances under the thumb of the "Société par actions simplifiée" quite like, because they know fresh modernity often complemented with a certain twist and so often quite interesting compositions result.

This has always worked quite well for me in the men's LV perfumes launched since 2018 - and it still does. The Colognes are a little more one-dimensional and just do not have that little edge, yet I also have sympathies for Afternoon Swim and just also Cactus Garden.
Why just the former a similarity to "Imagination" is attested, I do not really understand, rather still in small the Cactus Garden, whose soapiness and the proximity to tea could play a role.

The images between Iceland and sky, water and mist start bright and fresh and quite citrusy, less orangy in the top note (which comes back more at the end). Not acrid, but bright and clear like undulating waters. In the heart we have the black tea, slightly spicy with ginger accents and cinnamon parts - never smoky though, never resembling an Assam, but fine and light. The classification "woody-spicy" above I see as exaggerated. The tea is also not drunk with milk (no iris, no sandalwood, no Lost Alice), seems rather watery-woody (guaiac) and the incense makes it float through mist.

A consideration towards signature scent potential is also conceivable, the DNA works all year round, even makes it through a winter no matter how strong. For my part, however, I can imagine "Imagination" also well in colder temperatures, without him ever reminding me of Christian festivals in December - on the contrary.

Of course "Imagination" is again Belletrud-typically in the popular mode on the way and of course he meets hereby probably again a mass taste. But then I do not care if I find him well done. And that's what I think. The will be a real hit for LV!

Who is looking for an all-rounder without too common orange and yellow aesthetics with wood rip-off in the base, but does not reject them per se, is open to new old and old new, which / which is really well served in the latest work Cavallier-Belletrud.
