The review
Epitome Imagination scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Imagination.
Emper 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 $40 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Imagination — the 13th cheapest of 37 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emper 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
Louis Vuitton Imagination is citron, Calabrian Bergamot and sicilian orange at first, tunisian neroli, nigerian ginger and ceylon cinnamon at its heart and chinese black tea, Ambroxan and guaiac wood at the end. Emper set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
