LV Imagination reformulation...

... So, I have compared the ingredients lists from both my newly purchased 100ml bottle of Imagination and a sample from a couple years back. The ingredients are identical and in the same order. Double checked. The batch code of my newest bottle is 4D01 and my 6.8oz bottle's code is 1H02. I'm guessing this 100ml was produced in 2024 and I know that the 6.8oz was purchased in summer of 2021, which was the year it was released, so the numbers at the beginning of the codes, probably correspond with the years of the current decade. Someone mentioned that their launch year (2018) bottle of Ombre Nomade has a code that starts with 8, as well. **EDIT** After spending a week wearing my 2024 bottle and doing side-by-side tests between my 2021 bottle & 2024 bottle, I believe they've increased the alcohol vol., since the ingredients list is the same since launch, but it is different. (Maybe there's a reason they don't share the alcohol content) Not only is there now an initial blast of alcohol that was never there in my decants, samples, or my 2021 bottle, but it's not quite as potent as it was and it doesn't seem to last as long now, either. It smells diluted. I am not one of the beast-mode frag guys. I want decent performance because I'm mainly wearing it for myself and I want to wear it often and not have to re-purchase bottles constantly. I don't need everyone around me to smell it. I'll put the new bottle aside for awhile and see if anything changes. It's still a good fragrance, but it's not quite worth the price anymore.

... Anonym I bought Imagination 2022 for the first time. The perfume was a fantasy, great durability and aura. Unfortunately, I refilled it a few days ago in the LV Boutique and the perfume is definitely not the same! It has a greener and very alcoholic opening. It doesn't last anywhere near as long as my last one. Then I ordered a new Imagination online and it disappointed me because it is the same as the refilled one. There is no official information that it has been reformulated. Has anyone had the same experience or noticed a difference? I am very sad and disappointed.... If you saved the box from the first purchase, you need to see if the ingredients list is the same between both of them. If they're the same, it has not been reformulated. Alcohol volume can make a difference, though and sometimes companies do change it. LV doesn't divulge their alcohol content, unfortunately.

... KathrynA66 They reformulated in 2021 , I think. Your first bottle may have been the original, even if you got it in 2022. The fragrance was released in 2021. It was not reformulated in the first year of its' release! ( Edit : check my updated post below) The way to tell, is to compare the ingredients list. If it has not changed, it technically has not been reformulated. I have a bottle coming tomorrow and I will compare it against the ingredients list from an official sample from a couple of years ago.
