Assaf Frankel Imagination
Frankel Imagination is a spicy woody aromatic composition built around black tea, nutmeg and a guaiac wood base, inspired by Louis Vuitton Imagination.
Maison Alhambra Jean Lowe Fantasme
Jean Lowe Fantasme opens with an unexpected pairing of bitter cocoa and rich oud that immediately signals dark luxury before the fragrance reveals its most surprising quality: despite a note pyramid built around saffron, caramel, patchouli, and leather, the overall character lands closer to the clean, airy, citrus tea freshness associated with Louis Vuitton Imagination than the heavy oriental the ingredients would suggest, creating one of the more intriguing and deceptive compositions in the Maison Alhambra range.
