Imagination Louis Vuitton 2021

So now the 2nd LV has already secured a place in my collection.

Imagination is a fragrance that convinced me practically immediately with Ombre Nomade.

The first spray on my arm was a bit surprising; I somehow expected something different. Tea scents have never been my great passion, and Wūlóng Chá Extrait de Parfum was the only fragrance I knew from this category until now.

Imagination starts with a very intense opening, refreshing, slightly cooling, and fruity, thanks to a very soft and sweet-smelling orange combined with a zesty lemon and bergamot. Soon, light, soft, warm contrasts in the form of tea, wood, and spices come into play, rounding everything off wonderfully, creating a fresh scent that radiates a warm sensuality I didn't expect.

As it develops towards the end, it becomes a bit sweeter but also woodier, with frankincense, guaiac wood, neroli, ginger, cinnamon, and not least the tea note creating a wonderfully gentle scent progression, warming and soft, yet still citrusy fresh and clean like in the opening. It sounds a bit contradictory, and it is :) but that's exactly what makes this fragrance so special for me.

I often catch myself smelling my arm and saying to myself, wow. It simply has that certain extra that makes it feel special.

A truly wonderful fragrance, ideal for small collections, as it is so wonderfully versatile, but certainly does not smell generic :)

I think it shines particularly in summer or spring, but I also feel completely comfortable with Imagination in autumn or winter.

After all, it's just another fresh scent with too much ambroxan ;) or so I thought before I tried it...

But the ambroxan in Imagination, I hardly notice, perhaps a slight fresh woodiness that provides a stable base for the entire fragrance. But there's no comparison to the ambroxan bombs we all know, no scratchiness or sharpness that hits you in the nose.

Imagination remains perfectly balanced the whole time. Never is one of the notes too dominant or too weak for me. And especially the tea note is truly fitting at all times and simply excellently executed.

It's called Imagination, and indeed, you couldn't have named this fragrance more aptly. It radiates a feeling of security and sensuality, exactly this beautiful imagination ;) is what the fragrance leaves with me. And that's despite the fact that it's actually a fresh summer scent :) strange...

You can wear this fragrance every day, and the time of day doesn't matter :D a damn good companion for practically any occasion that comes your way, personally, I find it more masculine than unisex. But I'm sure many ladies will also like it. Age doesn't matter at all.

And although I praise this fragrance so much, just like many of the other great reviews you find here on this site, or generally on Parfumo (thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their impressions and write a review :) I enjoy reading them all), it is a very expensive perfume, and I would advise everyone to test it for a few days before purchasing. That's what I did too. Reviews are great, but tastes are very different.

Thank you, Brokehoven, for the sample; without you, I might never have tried it :D

Thank you for reading.
