Louis Vuitton

“Art Of Arabia 1 - This, in my opinion, is the best inspired by LV Imagination. Its clean, soapy, fizzy. It projects great and last hours and hours. Smells beautiful. Personally, I prefer this to Imagination, especially at a 10th of the price.”

“This is a clone of Blonde Amber by Clive Christian. Out of everything I sprayed on, this was the strongest. It smells so sweet, with some spices lingering around. Definitely unisex. Compared to blonde amber (I have a sample), this gets you about 70 percent there.”
