The review
Worth a try. That is where Essense de Blanc lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Imagination.
French Avenue 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.
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 French Avenue 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
