Who should wear Louis Vuitton Imagination, and who should not
It opens sharp and juicy: bergamot, Sicilian orange and citron, closer to peeled fruit than to cologne. Within about twenty minutes neroli softens the citrus and a thin thread of ginger keeps it from turning sweet, with the listed Ceylon cinnamon staying so far back that most wearers never name it. From there it settles into the part everybody actually buys, a heavy dose of ambroxan wrapped around CO2-extracted black tea, warm and slightly sweet and very smooth, with guaiac wood and olibanum doing quiet structural work rather than reading as wood or incense. Wear it to the office, on warm spring and fall days, or anywhere you want to smell groomed rather than interesting. Its reputation rests on two things: it lasts seven to ten hours on most skin, and the ambroxan drydown is the kind of thing strangers ask about.
A 100mL bottle is roughly 250 wearings. Be honest about whether you will reach that on one scent. A 30mL is about 75, which is closer to the number most people actually get through before they move on.
This one sits close to the skin. If you want a scent that announces you from across a room, this is not it, and we would rather tell you now than take the return.
Louis Vuitton Imagination decant, answered
Is a Louis Vuitton Imagination decant authentic, or is it a clone?
It is the real thing. Dupes are cheap imitations made by someone else. This is Louis Vuitton Imagination itself, poured from a factory-sealed retail bottle bought at authorised retail.
How long does a 30mL Louis Vuitton Imagination decant last?
About 75 wearings at three to four sprays. Worn twice a week that is about eight months. Worn daily, about two and a half months.
How long does Louis Vuitton Imagination last on skin?
Around 8 hours. Noticeable at arm's length.
But I like having the bottle.
Fair, and we are not going to talk you out of it. The bottle is genuinely a nice object. Just be honest about how much of it you will get through. If owning the object matters to you, buy the bottle. If how you smell is the point, this is the same juice in the amount you will actually wear.
Will it leak or evaporate?
No. We fill leak-proof atomizers to the top, so there is no air gap to feed evaporation.
What if it does not suit me?
Start at 10mL. That is the whole point of buying this way. Getting it wrong costs you a coffee run instead of a shelf ornament you resent, and the honest note further down this page tells you up front who tends not to get on with it.
Get Louis Vuitton Imagination in the size you will actually finish.
Poured from a factory-sealed retail bottle and filled to the top, so there is no air gap and nothing sitting open. Take the 30mL and give it a real place in your rotation, or start at 10mL if you want to be sure first.
