I came across a review from a source I trust, comparing it to LV Imagination. While I have some higher end colognes in my collection, you can't find an LV fragrance on a discounter. That being said, I refuse to drop close to $400 on a bottle of anything. So, I was intrigued by the review of Amber Oud Aqua. I had a sample of LV that I compared this to, and I wouldn't be able to tell you which is which if I had test strips handed to me. The opening comes off a little chemical, almost like a kitchen cleaner. But, after a hour it really settles nicely. This cologne is a legit contender for a top notch replica. And, for a fraction of the price. Let's be honest: you're only buying Imagination because you need to see the LV bottle in your collection.
Overall, this is a mediocre dupe of Imagination and not a great fragrance by itself. Smells dusty to me, and unlike Imagination, there’s no tea note. There‘s nothing I like about this. What a dud.
