The correct cousin, but not the brother.

I find the bottle quite pleasant, simple, therefore not disturbing, quite nice. The quality of the lid is unnecessarily cheap and the spray head is anything but the best, but the price here is also very low. It's more than enough. In addition, the bottle is fortunately very accessible again and the increased prices due to the hype at the beginning have fallen again. I normally like the design, it's just very basic. How is the fragrance?

This one is very linear for me, but it has its own twist compared to the original. You can clearly recognize the Imagination, but there is one note here that is so strong that it really stands out and somewhat obscures the rest of the more beautiful DNA. Is that the tea? Something slightly spicy, synthetic-sweet. It's also a little fruitier, slightly sweeter and more playful than the original, but still nice enough. For me, there is just this one strong note in particular that stands out and unfortunately overpowers the rest. It doesn't change much for me as it progresses and towards the end, it just becomes weaker, less playful, less fruity, less sweet and more serious, normally citrusy, slightly spicy. Fortunately, you can recognize the comparison to Imagination on the skin from start to finish. The longevity doesn't come close to the original, it only lasts a few hours. The original lasts much longer. We don't even need to compare the bottle. ^^'

This fragrance is perfect as a long-term test bottle for anyone who wants to get the original at some point. Until then, it's a great way to test the "coarser" DNA. 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 will keep me going. I have also drawn a comparison to the "Art of Arabia I | Lattafa / لطافة", if you are interested you will find a longer description and a comparison of the 3 fragrances as a review under the AoA I from me. Of course, please bear in mind that everyone perceives fragrances and notes slightly differently. This is just > my < honest opinion. :) Thank you
