If you want one Louis Vuitton fragrance that will not fight the Egyptian climate, this is it. Imagination is built on citrus and tea over a warm amber base, and the whole construction is designed to stay crisp when the temperature climbs. It is the bottle most men reach for first, and the one they reorder.
Why you will love this citrus perfume
Most citrus fragrances are gone in an hour. This one is not, because the amber underneath gives the brightness something to hold on to. You get the lift of bergamot and neroli at the top, a dry black tea note through the middle that keeps it grown-up rather than fresh-faced, and a warm woody base that lasts into the evening.
- Citrus that actually survives past the first hour, thanks to the amber base
- Black tea through the middle keeps it from smelling like a shower gel
- Performs in heat, which is where heavier fragrances fall apart
- Seven to eight hours on skin, more on cotton
- Office-safe and easy to wear daily without tiring of it
- Refillable bottle
- Composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud in Grasse
The scent
It opens sharp and clean, all bergamot and bitter orange peel, with a green edge. Within twenty minutes the tea note comes through, dry and slightly smoky, and that is what gives the fragrance its character. The base is soft amber and pale wood, warm rather than sweet, and it sits close to the skin for the rest of the day.
Who it is for
Men who want something they can wear to work every day without thinking about it, and anyone who finds oud and amber too heavy for daytime. It is a strong first Louis Vuitton fragrance and a safe gift, because very few people dislike it.
How to use it
Three or four sprays, on the chest and both wrists. Citrus fades fastest on dry skin, so apply after a shower while your skin still holds moisture. Reapply once in the afternoon if you want it to carry into the evening.
