Wow literally waiting for months for this review and here it is!! Thanks a lot Aaron. Love Imagination smells great and definitely a compliment getter

[@RS3NDIT]

I have heard soooooooo much about LV perfumery and Imagination in particular. This review was an instant click for me. Always nice to see a knowledgeable person like yourself back up the hype behind something like this. I don't quite have $300 to drop on a perfume at this point but I'll add this to my list hahaha

[@MrDextrator]

Get a sampler first - I dont mind the price tbh i just dont think thats anything unique

[@RS3NDIT]

@@MrDextrator oh I don’t think I’ll buy it. I’m not super into freshies and only have a couple so I can get through the month or so (max) of really hot days we get in Virginia but it’s still always cool to see Aaron’s insight on perfumes that are as popular as this is. I also just don’t see myself spending $300 on a single bottle. I’m on a hard stop right now on buying frags anyways but I’m a bit value for money guy and I’m just not in love with freshies enough to drop to 300 on one lol.

[@MrTonytalk]

Ombré nomad is the 2and greatest fragerances ever only second to oud satin mood extrait.

[@isobel64]

zara has an exact dupe called Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes if you ever want to know what it smells like without dropping $300

[@LEK]

@@RS3NDIT I honestly would go for Nishane Wulong Cha. It does a simliar thing and is honestly much smoother and well blended for roughly 180€

[@gustavoo.9113]

FINALLY! My favorite fragrance of all time

[@richmoneycash1]

I think its mine also. I've grown to love it even more this last 6 months.

[@dpc6573]

would be up there for me too if it lasted longer

[@jakoreian]

@@dpc6573yeah unfortunately bright and citrusy fragrances usually never have that longevity or they’d probably be everyone’s number ones😩

[@josephirias]

@@dpc6573for being a fresh fragrance, this one is a beast. Not sure why yours doesn’t last that long

[@hellrell4L]

@@dpc6573how long does it last ?

[@ahmedelbahja6301]

I'm so glad you've reviewed this. I've been waiting for a certified person to review this fragrance. Now my next step is to go out and try this scent.

[@michaelcruze8560]

My absolute favorite fresh one from LV. I usually use this one in that April/May/early June time before it gets super hot. It's a very relaxing fragrance.

[@Fefo89]

this and Afternoon Swim are my two favs from the freshie line, when i smelled it, just amazed me so much!

[@user-lb2ft8hj3w]

It was interesting hearing your thoughts, I am going London next week to pick up angels share and afternoon swim, I will have to try imagination and potentially could sway my decision!

[@alexdarie_]

Excellent review, Aaron 🙏 Can't wait to sample it

[@Jay-bw3fl]

I own this as well as meteor and l’immensite and they are all absolutely wonderful and imo it’s worth owning all three. I think LV fragrances are very underrated and for some reason they seem to be bashed by reviewers about pricing way more often than other equally expensive fragrances so it’s great to hear the most trusted name in the game say they are priced fairly. I absolutely love LV fragrances. They last all day and smell expensive. Great review as always, Aaron.

[@bballmike52]

I have limmensite, sur la route, afternoon swim and orage...they are a little pricier then I'd like but obviously I can't help myself lol the quality and bottles are top teir

[@jp7995]

I agree. Ombre Nomade / Noveau Monde in particular are beastly. Last forever. They are well worth the money imo if you like the scent.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@jp7995 yep I have ombré nomade and le sables rose as well. Excellent.

[@SirSillageSniffington]

In general people don’t like spending big amounts of money on citrus/fresh scents, which is a lot of what LV offer. You’ll see the same complaints about expensive freshies from other brands as well. Plus, naturally people always expect “designer” brands to offer cheaper fragrances and are usually less happy when they don’t than dedicated ‘niche’ brands…

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@SirSillageSniffington you’re partially right and people are really missing out because LV is top notch and better performing than most “niche” brands. They are leagues above comparably priced “niche brand” PDM and Creed not only in the actual scents but in strength and longevity as well. Also, LV has just as many deeper and darker fragrance offerings as they do fresh ones. Ombré nomade, Le sables roses, fleur du desert, nuit de feu, and their newest fragrance Myriad to name a few.

[@architverma5365]

Hey Aaron! Really like your content as it's really informative. Where do you suggest buying perfume oils to train yourself on individual compounds?

[@gaemp_]

Hey Aaron, love your reviews! Interesting would be this in comparison to Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes from Zara in terms of quality and price.

[@elijahray9792]

I love Imagination so glad you did a review. Please review Meteore next?!!!!! That’s my other favorite

[@JajaTheBalls]

My favourite fresh fragrance I got for my thirties. Thanks for the review.

[@ChickenInvader12]

Hey Aaron, awesome review as always ! I would love it if you can review Nishane's Nefs and Shem, really curious on what your view on them will be. Cheers! 🦄

[@kinoko510]

Suggestion: Imagination layers beautifully with vanilla fragrances. I use Contre Moi ( LV ) for base layer, topped with couple of sprays of Imagination. Stunning!!!

[@xoticz7305]

Imagination has been my signature scent for a while now. Never fails to get me compliments and lasts so long sometimes I wake up the next day still smelling it on me

[@christopherbird2739]

Absolutely love this fragrance it’s just so bright, it kinda makes you happy when you spray it on

[@jackrichards9532]

My favourite fragrance ever. So versatile, universally appreciated and has great performance for a “fresh” fragrance.

[@maricendeki94]

Great video Aaron! I want to hear your thoughts and see a review of LV Fleur Du Desert in the near future!

[@DjallalArchi]

Great review of my fav fresh fragrance, I have a good clone of it, it's Zara sunrise at the red sand dunes

[@kamabokogonpachiro709]

Finally!! Never clicked on an ATH video this fast as soon as I saw the thumbnail lol

[@joearnolds669]

Thanks for reviewing

[@sandileshongwe4750]

Might get this fragrance for my 31st birthday. In South Africa, so we have summer and summer here, might just be perfect for me :) Curious to see you review Goldfield & Banks - Ingenious Ginger. Also considering that fragrance.

[@studiodsr]

I own this and like it a lot but I’m frankly kind of surprised so many other people love it. It’s purely in the clean fresh world without any of the muskiness or sexiness the most popular men’s fragrances tend to have. Great for daytime and office wear but definitely not an evening or date night scent

[@PaulJones-vr2wi]

Wow someone showed this last night My 1st thought LV clothing bags etc Thank you.

[@markoiugdefsuiegh]

By FAR the best citrus/summer/fresh fragrance ever created, and also in general one of best! It is absolutely magical

[@iron_gts2255]

This fragrance is amazing. I wore it the other day. It has amazing silage, someone smelled it at the office from across the room and came over and said, it’s you! You smell amazing what it that. I told them what it was and it’s $320 and then they looked at me like I was crazy lol.

[@elijahray9792]

Worth every penny

[@space.cowboyyyyy]

because you are

[@D.U.V.A.L]

@@MikeLickorishwhat does working in an office have to do with how much you spend on perfume?

[@eddyible]

@@MikeLickorishyours is the weird question lol

[@iron_gts2255]

@@MikeLickorish my fragrance cost $320, my car was $105,000 and my house is paid for. Pretty dumb comment to leave when you have no idea why I would be in an office..

[@shanehall98]

I love this fragrance it is too expensive to buy a full bottle but samples are amazing and I treasure it and wear it sparingly.

[@sransavic9675]

I got a 200 ml that’s acceptable , super worth imo

[@dabaddestdj2010]

You gotta treat yourself ! Got myself a bottle for my birthday, put it on affirm to split the payments up over 3 months…I got two kids so dropping $300 at once on a fragrance is hard for me but if I can make payments it makes those type of fragrances much more attainable

[@UnknownUser-fr5yz]

Tbh its not even that bad considering you can refill LV fragrances for about 60% of the price after your first bottle.

[@shanehall98]

The thing is you still need to faffy around going to LV to get it refilled and they are mostly in faffy locations which are hard to get to.

[@richmoneycash1]

​@@QU4DP1MP that smells nothing like LV Imagination. I have both and while I like the Emper Imitation it just isn't the same. I'd say maybe 50% close. It does its own thing imo.

[@nelsonsubaru]

While the my favorites list is always evolving, Imagination by LV is always a contender for overall number one favorite perfume. Just a beautiful fragrance that does everything well.

[@smegnichtlp8502]

would love to get your opinion on fragrances from Milton Lloyd, they are a UK brand. The Man Silver and Bondage Hommes in particular.

[@brutusp.8116]

Thank you for the wonderful review! Could you please consider reviewing “blond amber” by Clive Christian. I need to put a second mortgage on my house to be able to buy that one 😅

[@khel8402]

i love your reviews

[@freddiev125]

Wow, I didn’t even know that LV made fragrances. Thanks Aaron!

[@mrm700]

Imagination is pure class.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

[@KomarisK]

Hey Aaron!, I really want to try your fragrances but can't find them anywhere.

[@Mackkk12]

Aaron, can you do a review of Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Platine Prive?

[@aliselman4984]

Can you review Heaven of Coconut from Clair De Lune next please? It is a unique extrait de parfum Coconut scent.

[@TheOlfactorium]

Was anticipating this one, Imagination is my favourite "Blue" fragrance.

[@AttentionSpannn]

This is a special fragrance. This have moved to the top of my list to purchase.

[@brendaslummer8890]

My favorite Summer scent!!

[@dsdddsd4543we]

I received this as a gift. It is probably one of the freshest fragrances out there. I just ran out of L'immensite, which is also an amazing Spring/Summer fragrance.

[@Don_g1983]

Will you be doing a Black rose review???

[@Tonixxy]

Great review

[@jshio1563]

Wow i like your style 😍

[@steverichards3911]

Soapy !!! It’s amazing

[@Principemostprincipe]

After ombre nomade this is the best LV frag. Smells amazing, and longevity is fantastic. My top 5 summer fragrances. Your Ozone is in that list as well

[@OranjeKid3838]

what are the other 4?

[@kevlarthaigold450]

My favorite reviewer!!! Waiting on ARGOS [ADONIS AWAKENS] Review!🎉

[@Manuel.Medellin]

One of the best Vacation scents on the market, despite the massive Hype it already received over the years from the community, it just honestly still lives up to it. Transports you right to the Pool of a luxury resort in a beautiful location.

[@cykablyat1881]

Aaron please check out Rosewood by Arabian Oud. I have a feeling that it would be somethig that you enjoy

[@Ace0555]

Yes, finally!!!

[@RuhulAmin-sl8gy]

Please do harmonizing fire! Is it amazing!

[@steveb8269]

Hi Aaron, when does your online shop open again?

[@ramoneregal8317]

A good alternative to this is Montales Oudyssee very natural smelling citrus aquatic that's got depth.Its also extremely long lasting

[@dagodpd]

Where did u get it

[@cheesychester9647]

A go-to in my collection

[@PrepaidKreditkarte81]

I dont know how and why but this stuff is extremely long lasting and has a crazy projection. I spray on clothes (90% of the time every fragrance) and it lasts all day. I only do 2 sprays because it gets too much. Also I live in Bangkok where its always hot and humid. This stuff is incredible for a freshie. After sampling it I got a full 100ml bottle wich at the same time is my most expensive fragrance in the collection.

[@voltaire5427]

Your hair looks cool. Like a Elven lord. Very hot and cold with this fragrance. Love the DNA, vibrance, and craftsmanship. However, it's a bit too punchy and linear for my nose. Can't pick up on top, middle, and base notes easily. I think it could benefit from toning up and down different notes to give it more of a journey.

[@newcreationbear610]

Wearing this right now. Great scent

[@YouAreTheRaidBoss]

Please review Victory Elixir! :)

[@LeoR4U]

I love Imagination, my absolute favorite. 🤩 My first bottle is almost empty 😅

[@trismatics1195]

A very good fragrance! Citrus, nice musky black tea!

[@sheshewantit45]

did anyone get imagination from teh lv boutique, was it weak t the bigeinnign and did it get stronger over time ?

[@DrDavelope]

I have this awesome fragrance. I sprayed a card with Imagination LV and put it in a small carry case I was using. One year later and I can still smell it strong.!!!

[@AfroTee]

You just made me get up and sniff a Rose Des Vents card from over a year ago. No scent. Bummer. My Speedy still smells good though. How cool! 🙂

[@CodysFragrances]

Love it 🔥

[@lorenzo5832]

I started using this in winter too. Does still shine in the cold. Lots of compliments. It is 260€ but a refill at LV ist "just" 150. That's the price for BdC which does not last or project even half as much as Imagination.

Have both. Also On the beach and California Dream and Sun Song ❤

[@joe6516]

I drove 3 hours to my closest LV store to try their cologne. Was not a fan of imagination, did not understand the hype. I wish l'immensite had better performance but I left with meteor I always get comments when I wear it. I smelt the ombre nomad as they were wrapping up my meteor and instantly wish I got that instead. It smelt amazing. Definitely my next!

Good review as always. For me Imagination is too designer like furthermore It smells like curd soap in an old monastery. Maybe my nose is different but I don’t see any interesting to discover here.

this a very pleasant scent for spring / summer. nice and bright is the perfect description for this. my only drawback is its performance. I find that I need to overspray however on clothing it is amazing.

Anyone knows the longevity? Debating between LV imagination or PDM sedley

One of the best fragrances out right now.

[@07lacha]

Aaron, can you start weighing bottles at the beginning of a review. Especially niche fragrances. It will help us spot fake vs authentic bottle before buying.

[@makuIa]

i’ve never smelled LV perfumes I always expected it to be very “easily trendy” rather than refined. any favourites people can recommend? as i’m going to definitely try a few now

[@richmoneycash1]

Try meteore, afternoon swim and L'Immensite

[@johncarlevaro943]

It is often said that some perfumes need "maceration" in order to improve longevity or performance in general. As a perfumist, how valid do you consider those claims and what is it that may produce this improvement?

[@elani6507]

It a good question indeed! I got a bottle just a week ago and was not sure about the results but the seller recommended macerating it!

[@user-wf4nl2yy8x]

A creation of a master perfumer Mr. Jacques Cavalier
