The review
On paper, Reef Insight is a reasonable bet if you want Imagination for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $159 per 100ml it costs 46% less than Imagination — the 31st 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 Perfume Parlour 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 Reef Insight 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.
