When Imagination and Torino21 Have a Baby

I never thought that after all these years I would feel the urge to write a comment again, but this fragrance has absolutely captivated me and drawn me in immediately.

The title describes the scent quite aptly, as it draws from both worlds, and does so with great success.

Similar to Imagination by LV, there is a citrusy tea note here, which is beautifully underlined by a wonderful green-herbaceous base. This fragrance immediately reminds me of Torino21, as it also features that fantastic mint, which harmonizes perfectly with the basil and serves as a prime example of a "green" scent association, without veering into a harsh or overly "niche" direction.

The impression of a green scene is generated in this MFK by fennel and verbena, but overall it feels very tame, simple, and pleasing, just like XerJoff's summer hit. So we don't have a herb garden here, like we know from "French Lover / Bois d'Orage | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle."

Anyone who likes fragrances like Imagination and Torino21 should definitely give the Aqua Media Cologne Forte a try. With a rating of 7.7, it still flies under the radar in my opinion and hasn't received the attention it deserves. A real insider tip!
