What wearers say
“I have this perfume with the batch from April 2024. The scent is like lemon soda with a slight woody note. It’s very comfortable for daily use, feeling light for everyday activities. It’s not cloying. However, the longevity is not great, and the sillage is weak. When my female friend smells it, she relatively likes the scent. The price is around 20 dollars, but it requires respraying and overspraying. The scent is not linear, only the longevity and sillage are average.”
“It's actually kinda great if you like the DNA, but the longevity is not great. It was bad when I got this in February, it's somehow gotten worse.Quality-price ratio is far the best of any Imagination dupe. Marwa is slightly better dupe, but is going for 2.5x-3x the price.”
“Imagination dna is there for sure with this one, so much smoother than marwa and without the odd ginger opening that marwa has. Similar to art of Arabia 1, tea, soapy, citrus & woody.£17, cant go wrong. Great summer freshie, even if you need to reapply throughout the day - im yet to test longevity as I only had a bottle delivered today, id imagine it'll wear off after a few hours like a lot of 'blue' fragrances do.”
