Imagination is a genuinely pleasant, clean fragrance that executes its soapy-powdery profile well, but the community consensus is that it's significantly overhyped and overpriced. While some love its effortless elegance and drydown development, most agree that affordable dupes offer nearly identical performance, making the premium price hard to justify despite the fragrance's inoffensive, versatile nature.

Excellent drydown that evolves and improves over time on skin
Versatile for any occasion with effortless, breezy character
