Imagination est un parfum agréable et authentiquement propre qui exécute bien son profil savonneux-poudreux, mais le consensus de la communauté est qu'il est considérablement survendu et surpricé. Bien que certains adorent son élégance sans effort et son développement en drydown, la plupart s'accordent à dire que des doublons abordables offrent des performances quasi identiques, ce qui rend le prix premium difficile à justifier malgré la nature inoffensive et polyvalente du parfum.
Positif
Pleasant, inoffensive clean fragrance with elegant soapy-powdery profile
Excellent drydown that evolves and improves over time on skin
Versatile for any occasion with effortless, breezy character
Overpriced at $330-400 for what is essentially a simple soap/detergent scent
