Imagination celebrates the creative energy that travel nourishes. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud reinvents the amber accord around a high dose of Ambrox, for a sensual, contemporary masculinity.
Noble citrus and a CO₂-extracted black tea create the contrasts: the fresh sparkle of zest against the slightly smoky depth of tea. A luminous, very modern amber.

Imagination in detail
Louis Vuitton, a Parisian trunk-maker turned luxury house, composes travel-inspired fragrances, all signed by its master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. Imagination, from the men's line, reinvents the amber accord: instead of the warmth of resins, it seeks the light of citrus and the transparency of tea.
The house lists three main notes, without sorting them into stages. Citrus notes give a lively, sparkling brightness. Tea, described as black by the house, adds a slightly smoky, woody depth. Ambroxan, a molecule with amber and mineral accents, extends the whole and gives it its luminous warmth.
Imagination is worn by day, from spring to autumn: at the office, while travelling, on a day when you want a fresh fragrance that still has presence.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue come close: Althaïr Exclusif by Parfums de Marly and Another 13 by Le Labo share its ambroxan, one in a vanilla register, the other with jasmine and oakmoss; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums has no note in common with it, but belongs to the same amber family, in a much denser version.
