Scent

Simple (and) beautiful

Me and my skin are at war when it comes to certain things.
Although I was spared pimples and acne from the age of 12, we still won't be friends.
Reason: Many a beautiful fragrance stinks on my skin.
Yes, it stinks.
Libre Eau de Parfum smells like cat pee on me, Versace pour Femme Dylan Blue smells like after sport and before a shower, just to name two fragrances.

That's why I was very pessimistic when I bought a few bottlings, including Imagination, from a dear user here via Souk.
But hey, maybe a fragrance worth 280 euros stinks less on me.

And what can I say? Now I'm at war with my wallet, thank you, Louis Vuitton.
Because imagination smells(!) nice on me!

Imagination is simple on me, not versatile, doesn't change much, and I like that.
When I spray it on, it immediately hits me with a full load of bergamot and a little ginger.
However, the Chinese black tea indicated in the pyramid brings the fragrance back a little from the shower gel association, rounding off the fresh notes somewhat.
Somehow there is also a hint of cinnamon, I think, which also ensures that the fragrance is not quite masculine. Also a plus point!

Imagination smells like a vacation to me.
You know when you come out of the sea on a far too hot summer's day and the water dries on your skin immediately? That's what imagination smells like.
Warm, fresh, as contradictory as that is.
Like a fresh cocktail with lots of lemon on a far too hot day in the bath.
It even seems a little powdery to me.

Nevertheless, I think that Imagination is not just a summer fragrance. Today I'm wearing it at work when it's -3 degrees and, as of 13:00, I've received more compliments for the fragrance than for others in the previous weeks.

I was afraid that this freshness would get on my nerves, but it was unfounded. Because the freshness is not too overpowering, so in my opinion this is a wonderful year-round all-rounder.

Hats off, Louis Vuitton, no cat pee, no sweat, I'm thrilled!

I like Imagination too! It's not a fragrance that blows me away, but it's still quite good!
Just stop telling me "stinky"... Oud on my skin smells extremely medicinal (doctor's office/hospital), musk on my skin often smells either like older gentlemen (dad/grandpa vibes) or animalic (similar to a zoo) and violet leaf or whatever, smells sweaty on my skin (older armpit sweat).

I know that problem too! Funnily enough, the animalic ones always smell good on me and the fine, light scents smell bad haha. Anyway, Imagination also smells like vacation and relaxation to me

Funny, isn't it? I also have more of a collection of dark, smoky fragrances, unfortunately fresh doesn't usually work :D
