What Louis Vuitton Imagination smells like

It opens bright and zesty: citron, bergamot and Sicilian orange. The heart warms with neroli, ginger and a touch of cinnamon. Then the signature lands, dry black tea over ambroxan and guaiac wood. It is the rare fresh fragrance with real depth, clean and uplifting but never thin. Louis Vuitton's Jacques Cavallier Belletrud spent around five years building it.

What smells like Louis Vuitton Imagination?

The closest match we make is Imaginaire. It follows the same citrus-and-black-tea idea as a 35% Extrait, so the dry tea and amber have more staying power than the opening alone. If you love Imagination but not the price, this is the everyday version.
