I didn't really want to like him..

...because of the enormous hype and Louis Vuitton's pricing policy, which I don't like. I also don't particularly like Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes Eau de Parfum and initially transferred this to Imagination. But: I was proven wrong. Imagination really smells wonderful!

Fresh, airy, soft, doughy, citrusy, round. Not at all sharp or showery, as we know it from so many freshies. Tea and ginger are very easy to smell, as are the citrusy components. I may be wrong, but I also think I smell hedione, which makes the fragrance nice and airy and which I find great in many compositions. At times it has something of ginger ale about it, but in the most positive way.

Longevity is average, but okay for this fragrance category. The sillage is good.

I haven't worn it much on the outside yet, but I'm pretty sure that it will be talked about comparatively often and very positively. It is extremely likeable. Certainly also because it is somehow special in its few angularities.

Definitely predestined for spring and summer, but certainly always wearable, whether formal or casual and with absolute signature potential!

Sounds interesting! The price is just really outrageous for a designer fragrance.

The fragrance itself wasn't badmouthed as a result. On Parfumo, you can rate the fragrance independently of the price, as I'm sure you know. So the fragrance can be a 10, the price a 1. The discussion here is exclusively about the price. I didn't say that no other brands raise their prices? It's about the manner. But as you rightly say, everyone has to know for themselves whether the prices suit them or not.

In the end, everyone has to know for themselves whether they want to go along with the prices. However, the argument that other brands would not increase their prices is simply wrong (PdM, Creed...)
Apart from that, it's simply weak to badmouth a fragrance just because you don't like the pricing policy. You seem to know Imagination well if you can judge its performance so well

Yes, I also find the way LV raises the prices of the fragrances excessive... quite milking the consumer... LV is positioning itself with its fragrance line rather like other designer houses perhaps do with their Privée lines. A higher price than classic designer lines can be justified with the given quality, I think.

What exactly do you think justifies the continuous price increases? You can obviously set the clock by when the prices of Louis Vuitton perfumes are raised again. This certainly has little to do with generally rising prices, as other brands don't raise their prices every few months. Are the fragrances being continuously improved? 😅 There are reasons why niche fragrances are and can be more expensive, for example because the production method is different and causes higher costs.
And yes, if a fresh designer fragrance, which is certainly not perceptible for 8 hours, is more expensive than fragrances from well-known niche brands, then I really do think that's cheeky.

Why is the price an outrage just because it's a designer fragrance?
We're talking about a high-quality, fresh fragrance that lasts ~8 hours. If it were a niche fragrance with the same price for 50ml, nobody would complain...
