Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Reality lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Imagination.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Imagination's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $82 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Imagination — the 23rd cheapest of 37 twins we can price.

Value9.6
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: citron, Calabrian Bergamot and sicilian orange up top, tunisian neroli, nigerian ginger and ceylon cinnamon in the middle, chinese black tea, Ambroxan and guaiac wood underneath — the shape of Louis Vuitton Imagination.

Top

  • citron
  • Calabrian Bergamot
  • sicilian orange

Heart

  • tunisian neroli
  • nigerian ginger
  • ceylon cinnamon

Base

  • chinese black tea
  • Ambroxan
  • guaiac wood
Citron and ginger over smoky black tea and ambroxan, radiant and almost absurdly wearable.
