The review
On paper, Inception is a strong bet if you want Imagination for less.
Mykonos 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 $65 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Imagination — the 24th cheapest of 44 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 Mykonos 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 Inception 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.
