Strong contender

The review

On paper, Essence De Blanc is a strong bet if you want Imagination for less.

Fragrance World 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 $50 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Imagination — the 16th 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.

Value9.6
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Fragrance World 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

The original opens on citron, Calabrian Bergamot and sicilian orange, turns to tunisian neroli, nigerian ginger and ceylon cinnamon, and settles into chinese black tea, Ambroxan and guaiac wood. That is the brief Essence De Blanc is working from.

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.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 51 twins of Louis Vuitton Imagination we can price, Essence De Blanc is number 16 on price per 100ml.
