Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Imaginary scores 7.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Imagination.

Montagne Parfums lists 5 of the 10 notes in Imagination's pyramid — citron, tunisian neroli, ambroxan, guaiac wood and olibanum. What it does not list: calabrian bergamot, sicilian orange, nigerian ginger and ceylon cinnamon.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $50 it costs 86% less than Imagination.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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. Montagne Parfums set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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