Imagine in 2024?

Let’s start at the beginning:
I was on my way to my trusted Louis Vuitton store to originally test the 2023 LV Pacific Chill. Since I wasn't impressed by it during testing, the staff member showed me this gem, which I immediately took home right after our conversation!
Having only heard about this fragrance so far, I was curious and excited to find out what so many people liked about it.

Upon the first spray of this fragrance, I was immediately hit with a week of robust aquatic freshness, directly combined with the citrus kick I hoped for in a summer perfume.
I felt like with just one spray on my forearm, I filled the entire room with this scent. Generally, I can already say that I smell this fragrance on myself all day long, and it hardly fades at all.
Shortly after spraying this fragrance, notes of spicy ginger and slightly sweet neroli blossoms developed. This added a depth to the scent that I hadn't expected.
Really fantastic!
Even after a few hours, the fragrance is still very active and detectable in a small radius!

The sillage of this fragrance is phenomenal. After spraying it at home, I went to visit friends, and even while sitting outside, this scent was so present that I was approached multiple times and received compliments.

Now I come to a point that initially deterred me a bit: the hype.
At first, I was somewhat torn about whether this fragrance was too widespread for me. After all, you pay a hefty price, and you want to smell unique.
However, I can say that I have not yet met anyone in my city who wears this fragrance, and I also don’t know anyone who owns it, so for me, it’s perfect!
In my opinion, this fragrance is definitely still unique!

All in all:
If you're looking for a luxury fragrance for summer, celebrating bergamot/citrus notes with spicy ginger and sweet neroli blossoms, and are willing to pay a bit more, you can't go wrong with this fragrance. Even in 2024, it remains one of the best summer scents, and the hype is definitely still justified. And especially at 30 degrees Celsius plus, this fragrance still performs so well that I’m happy to pay a bit more.
I am very satisfied, and I believe many others will be too!

I had the same thought about the hype. However, you have to consider that especially in the niche and high-end segment, there are relatively few people involved. And even if a large part of that bubble likes the scent, it doesn’t mean that those people actually own it and wear it regularly. I haven't noticed it anywhere else either.
