I find the bottle quite pleasant, simple, and therefore not intrusive, quite nice. At least visually, the quality of the cap is unnecessarily cheap and the spray head is anything but the best, but the price here is also very low. It’s sufficient in every way. Moreover, the bottle is fortunately very accessible again and the increased prices due to the hype at the beginning have decreased again. The design is normal for me, it’s just very basic. How is the scent?
This one is very linear for me, it has its own twist compared to the original. You can clearly recognize the Imagination, but there is some note that is so strong that it stands out and somewhat obscures the rest of the nicer DNA. Is it the tea? Something slightly spicy, synthetic-sweet. It is also a bit fruitier, slightly sweeter, and more playful than the original, yet still nice enough. For me, there is particularly this one strong note that stands out and unfortunately seems a bit overpowering compared to the rest. Over time and towards the end, it doesn’t change much for me; it simply becomes weaker, less playful, less fruity, less sweet, and rather more serious, normally citrusy, slightly spicy. Fortunately, the comparison to the Imagination is recognizable from beginning to end on the skin. The longevity doesn’t come close to the original; here it lasts only a few hours. The original lasts significantly longer. We don’t even need to compare the bottles. ^^'
This scent is great as a long-term test bottle for anyone who wants to get the original at some point. Until then, the "coarser" DNA can be tested quite decently with this. The original is currently too expensive for me, but I want to and will buy it at some point in the future as a small reward for some milestone. Until then, this very affordable and easily accessible bottle keeps me engaged. I also made a comparison to "Art of Arabia I | Lattafa / لطافة"; if you’re interested, you can find a longer description and a comparison of the 3 scents as a review under my AoA I. Please keep in mind that everyone perceives scents and notes slightly differently. This is just > my < honest opinion. :) Thank you
