Why buy Imagine Lv from OLFx?

Imagine Lv is our Extrait interpretation of the verified citrus-amber-spice profile associated with Imagination. We built it around the bergamot-orange opening and black-tea base people recognize in the original, with the 50 ml spray as the main format and the oil kept as a separate product. Make the 50 ml spray your entry into this fragrance.

How does Imagine Lv smell from opening to base?

Imagine Lv is a citrus-amber Extrait centered on bergamot, Sicilian orange, ginger, and black tea. The opening is bright and a little sharp, like zesting an orange straight over the glass before the bitterness fades. A few minutes in, ginger pushes through with a dry, faintly peppery warmth that clears your head rather than heats your skin. Black tea settles underneath, not sweet, closer to the tannic bite of a strong cup left steeping too long. The base turns smooth and slightly resinous, more amber than wood, sitting close and even against the skin.

What makes our Imagine Lv version stand out?

Imagine Lv is the closest match in our range to the verified character of Imagination.

• Extrait de Parfum. It is the richest fragrance form we make.
