Imagination is AMAZING. Loved since very first smell. It is such an appealing, pleasing fragrance. I love it more in the drydown, when the initial blast of citrus fades away a little.
I enjoy Imagination. I find LV's to be designer in profile, yet very high quality. The price is what gets me though. Should be no more than $220 for what it is.
The only issue with Ombre Nomade is that I find it very similar smelling as your average oud rose attar in almost every middle eastern perfume shop, but it's still a very well done fragrance.
I’ve tried imagination a few times and still think it’s very basic. Afternoon swim as well. L’immensite & Ombre Nomade are the ones I’ve liked the most.
After watching this video I went to LV boutique and I spent a good time trying these fragrances. Verdict: I love Ombre Nomade and I bought it, I like Nouveau Monde, but not sure if I will get it, and I like most of the freshies, but way overpriced for what they are. There’s plenty of fresh fragrances on the market for much less to pay. Still Ombre Nomade is a beautiful discovery to me 👍
Great video! This is a completely off-topic comment, but have you ever considered making a fragrance travel related video/guide? I love hearing about your trips and the great fragrances you get in Europe - would be amazing to hear about your experiences, recommendations, even an example of an itinerary of places to visit for people interested in fragrances!
Hi Sebastian - that would be great! Any tips for people planning a trip would be great from someone with your experience and knowledge, would make a nice video at some point! 🙂 Keep up the great work!
I tried Afternoon Swim, smells fine but it is too weak. I tried Ombre Nomade, smells cheap and I have much better Oud/Rose fragrances. I only own Imagination. The perfect summer scent!☀️🏝️😎
Great list, Sebastian! My SOTD is LV Le Jour se Leve. To me, it’s really fresh and easy to wear, great for warmer weather. I also really enjoy On the Beach, but agree that it doesn’t really conjure up a beach!
Ombré Nomad is on my bucket list. I’ve sampled it and I can’t get enough of how good it smells but I don’t know why it reminds me of Gucci intense OUD as well.
Always appreciate your videos Sebastian, My current ranking: 1. Cactus Garden (would love to hear your thoughts on it!) 2. Imagination 3. Ombré Nomade 4. L’ Immensite 5. Afternoon Swim I’m on the fence about Pacific Chill because I find it extremely sweet. Sur La Route might be my next purchase (I hear it’s getting discontinued)
I ordered a sample of L'Immensite and I can barely smell it I don't recall it being that light. I might have to go back to the Louis V store and try it again. I have Ombre Nomade and I've had it for a couple of months waiting for the right moment to wear it. I just recently sampled the decant of Les Sables Roses that the LV store gave to me and I gotta have it. My wife even enjoyed it and she hates everything.
For me On the Beach is the best "summer/beachy" scent. Favorite LV fragrance right after Ombre Nomade. For women, Atrape Reves is amazing, maybe my favorite "ladies" fragrance atm.
I'll be honest: As many times as youve discussed LV, I've never tried or seen any of these fragrances in stores, but the City of Stars bottle is soooo cute that it makes me want it.
By stores I assume you mean department stores, and they aren’t sold there. You have to go to an actual LV boutique. Although sometimes there is an LV store inside Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, etc.
I just want to encounter a LV fragrance that supplies the same level of excitement that I received when wearing L’eau D’Issey Pour Homme back in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Just as I was about to order some LV samples the work is now done! Timely as ever. I have to agree Ombre Nomade is something else. But I have some real inspiration to be getting on with now too.
Can’t agree with Hombre Nomade being the best of the bunch. Not even close. It’s just too polarizing, as it’s not the type of fragrance that is going to be loved by pretty much everyone that smells it. LV’s number 1 fragrance, IMO, has to GOT be Afternoon Swim, as it’s the type of fragrance that 9 out of 10 people are going to absolutely love. It smells wonderful and is extremely versatile. I know of no other primary citrus fragrance that is so mouthwatering. And speaking of versatility, that’s why I would put Imagination as my second best LV fragrance. Like you, it took some time for me to fully appreciate it, but now, it’s probably one of the most perfect “freshie” fragrances around. It smells soooo good when heavily applied, especially on clothing. And I agree with you about Orage. It is my third favorite LV fragrance. Wonderful, addicting scent.
Thank you so much for a wonderful review! And also thank you for giving Imagination a better review. I recall your original review of the scent was on the low end. This is my signature sent, and I’ve had a ton of compliments on this wonderful fragrance. 😊❤👍🏽
Recently got the Les Sables Roses and I’m enjoying its longevity and the way the smell transforms. Curious question, if you layer it with oud nomad, which one goes first?
100% agree on On the Beach and City and Stars having names that should be reversed. You mention a Sand note in On the Beach ... what does sand even smell like?? 🤣 ... will definitely be picking up City of Stars for this summer / next beach vacation. Love L'Immensite and Imagination for summer as well. Agree that these are both better and more interesting/unique than Meteore which is in the same category.
My top three is Orage, the meteor and cactus garden which is not on the list. Orange is a bomb with pheromones and my characteristic aroma, there is no fragrance that gives me more compliments than this one.
I was waiting for this video I used to think L V perfumes are over priced but after I started to wear ombré nomads I changed my mind and i am looking for my next one from this collection
I have a bottle of Orage, which I like and picked up some samplers which ended up with me buying a bottle of L'Immesite online. When they sent that they sent some samplers with it, two samplers of Ombre Nomade which I absolutely love so naturally I had to buy a bottle of that and honestly I wear it almost every day. My only problem with it is that, because I wear it so frequently, I will need to refill it more often and it is quite expensive.
Recently purchased Ombre Nomade. It list high in reviews, but some reviews say it’s an Autumn / Winter fragrance. But a bit pricy for a few months of the year. Please provide your thoughts.
Fantastic Video. It took me a year before I appreciated Ombre Nomade, then i loved it and bought! no regrets. Its a power house. Longevity is8-12 hours on my skin. on clothes, forever until washed. lol
I was in a bar a few months ago and a friend's brother came in. I know him to talk to and noticed he smelt like TF Oud Wood, so I asked if that's what he was wearing. He said no it's LV. I kept smelling it all night and asked him a couple of times, are you sure it's not OW? He laughed and said I promise, it's LV. Is it Ombre Nomade? Is it a little like OW? I've not been able to get my nose on it and haven't seen him since to ask and I doubt he'd know anyway as his gf bought it.
I pulled the trigger on Pacific Chill two weeks ago. My LV collection now comprises of L’mmensite, on the beach, orage, imagination, sur la route, afternoon swim, California dream and pacific chill.
ombre nomade is everything ive ever wanted in a fragrance! have you ever looked into the hermessence collection? i feel like ombre nomade and agar ebene could be cousins
As soon as I saw the title, I already knew you were going to pick Ombré Nomad. One talked about it a lot in past videos. When are you going to review Pur Oud?!
Imagination is the only LV perfume I’m tempted to buy, I tried it on one arm and then I sprayed Amouage reflection man on the other and they are pretty similar so I’m confused on what to buy
Awesome video! Thanks! I think LV has done an amazing job with their current line of perfumes, both in terms of quality and originality. They are pricey though.
I have Afternoon swim and I love it , but it’s more for summer , I also like Ombré nomade but not sure if it can be worn by women , do You think a women can rock it ? Thanks !
They gave me multiple samples a couple of times but I have yet to find one that I liked. They were all headache inducing, too heavy. I am curious about Cactus Garden, though.
I wear Nouveau Monde, and am due to refill soon, have you had any feedback on the refill formula? I'm not sure I want to refill is performance and scent is markedly different
I have the entire line, however they rely way too much on anbroxin in general. Imagination has grown on me also Au hasard is an amazing fragrance i would disagree with you on your assessment of it. The amount of compliments that I get while wearing it is off the charts.
I saw your video for Pacific Chill on the 16, the 18 when it released I was at the store so hyped about it.....but it didn't do it for me..AT ALL...lol, I would rank it last for sure
I didn't like u left METEORE off the list but great list of LV COLOGNE What u think about SPELL ON YOU I know it's a women's perfume could a man wear it
ive had sur la route for 2 years and bottles practically full...just too green and grassy on my skin..au hasard is my top 3 lv scent..just got aftenoon swim and liking it also
I think sur la route is similar to eau fraiche from chanel its citrus fraiche what do you think and what s the woman fragrence from lvvthank you from morocco

If it was between Orage or Afternoon swim. Which one would you pick?
I too didn't like imagination when I smelled it for the first time, but now I love the smell, long lasting and the scent trail is awesome
Imagination, L’Immentese, Afternoon Swim & Ombre Nomad are by far my favorite LV’s. Ombre nomad being 1 & 2 being Imagination with the black tea note
Did Imagination seem light? I can barely smell it.
Symphony is the best LV fragrance
I just picked up L'Immensité and wow… pulled me in immediately. The rest were also great but this one is amazing to me.
My top LV fragrances that I own:
1. L’immensite
2. Afternoon swim
3. Nouveau monde
4. Imagination
5. Pacific chill
6. Cactus garden
7. City of stars
Cactus Garden has been discontinued...unfortunately together with Sun Song.
I am addicted to Immensite, Imagination, Nouveau Monde and Ombré Nomade. I want to try Afternoon Swim, Nuit De Feu, and Orage
My husband loves Le Sables and Ombré Nomad. He’s a rose lover. You described them perfectly. Both rose and oud but polar opposites.
Imagination is AMAZING. Loved since very first smell. It is such an appealing, pleasing fragrance. I love it more in the drydown, when the initial blast of citrus fades away a little.
Pretty meh, want a tea frag get wulong cha lmao way cheaper for the price imagination is at it aint the big deal lol i wouldnt put it in my top 10 LV
I feel like imagination doesnt really last on my skin
Wulong Cha is much more bitter and not as fresh imo. Imagination 10/10 all the way.
I adore Fleur du Desert...shocked it wasn't mentioned 😄
That’s a big one!!.
@@andrewclarke8205 It's a beauty! :)
same.
I enjoy Imagination. I find LV's to be designer in profile, yet very high quality. The price is what gets me though. Should be no more than $220 for what it is.
Love Imagination. I go back and forth between it and Afternoon as the best freshie in the house.
Afternoon smell like invictus
@@BA-cz4is Not even in the slightest ... Invictus is synthetic mess
@@BA-cz4isno
I don't know why, but lately i am obsessed with On the Beach... that sand note is sooo good, and when you mix neroli with it, it's just perfect
As always, In Sebastián I trust, when it comes to these niche and luxury offerings..I love 3 so far Imagination,Afternoon Swim & Ambre Nomade
Ooh we agree. That's awesome! :)
I like Meteore and today I sampled City of Stars and after about 4-5 hours COS smells very much like Meteore.
The only issue with Ombre Nomade is that I find it very similar smelling as your average oud rose attar in almost every middle eastern perfume shop, but it's still a very well done fragrance.
True. I find it quite similar to Odyon Dubai. I highly recommend it.
I’ve tried imagination a few times and still think it’s very basic. Afternoon swim as well. L’immensite & Ombre Nomade are the ones I’ve liked the most.
I agree, Afternoon Swim is very basic, not bad or anything, but basic.
After watching this video I went to LV boutique and I spent a good time trying these fragrances. Verdict: I love Ombre Nomade and I bought it, I like Nouveau Monde, but not sure if I will get it, and I like most of the freshies, but way overpriced for what they are. There’s plenty of fresh fragrances on the market for much less to pay. Still Ombre Nomade is a beautiful discovery to me 👍

Great video! This is a completely off-topic comment, but have you ever considered making a fragrance travel related video/guide? I love hearing about your trips and the great fragrances you get in Europe - would be amazing to hear about your experiences, recommendations, even an example of an itinerary of places to visit for people interested in fragrances!
It's tough to do while traveling as I need a camera person to do the shooting. But I have thought about it many many times yes. Hopefully soon! :)
Hi Sebastian - that would be great! Any tips for people planning a trip would be great from someone with your experience and knowledge, would make a nice video at some point! 🙂 Keep up the great work!
I am a strong oud and incense lover and LV Ombré Nomad is my signature perfume. It is just amazing.
I tried Afternoon Swim, smells fine but it is too weak. I tried Ombre Nomade, smells cheap and I have much better Oud/Rose fragrances. I only own Imagination. The perfect summer scent!☀️🏝️😎
Imagination is amazing. You can also wear it year round.
Great list, Sebastian! My SOTD is LV Le Jour se Leve. To me, it’s really fresh and easy to wear, great for warmer weather. I also really enjoy On the Beach, but agree that it doesn’t really conjure up a beach!
Great video as usual! I think afternoon swim is a refined Tygar! Stellar times : have you tried that one ! I think it belongs on this list !
Ombré Nomad is on my bucket list. I’ve sampled it and I can’t get enough of how good it smells but I don’t know why it reminds me of Gucci intense OUD as well.
1. Ombre Nomade, 2. Nouveau Monde, 3. Afternoon swim, 4. Limmensite, 5. Mille Feux
Le Sable Roses is magical! My favorite! ❤️
I don't like Metore or L'Immensate but the rest of the line, I love! Ombre Nomad is my favorite.
Every time I go into a Louis Vuitton I have to smell Ombre Nomade and Nuit de Feu. I really like Nuit de Feu for some reason
L’immensite vs Imagination? What one comes out on top?
Lately Imagination.
Always appreciate your videos Sebastian,
My current ranking:
1. Cactus Garden (would love to hear your thoughts on it!)
2. Imagination
3. Ombré Nomade
4. L’ Immensite
5. Afternoon Swim
I’m on the fence about Pacific Chill because I find it extremely sweet.
Sur La Route might be my next purchase (I hear it’s getting discontinued)
I ordered a sample of L'Immensite and I can barely smell it I don't recall it being that light. I might have to go back to the Louis V store and try it again. I have Ombre Nomade and I've had it for a couple of months waiting for the right moment to wear it.

For me On the Beach is the best "summer/beachy" scent. Favorite LV fragrance right after Ombre Nomade. For women, Atrape Reves is amazing, maybe my favorite "ladies" fragrance atm.
Pacific chill got my attention… I bought full bottle as soon as I sprayed the travel spray.
I'll be honest: As many times as youve discussed LV, I've never tried or seen any of these fragrances in stores, but the City of Stars bottle is soooo cute that it makes me want it.
By stores I assume you mean department stores, and they aren’t sold there. You have to go to an actual LV boutique. Although sometimes there is an LV store inside Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, etc.
@joeschmidt6597 yea, but I live in Cincinnati man 🤠
@@itsmeaubree8591Cincinnati has high end stores like Nordstrom that will carry them.
Imagination is absolutely gorgeous
I haven't tried most of these, but can say I was happy to see Afternoon Swim above Pacific Chill. To me, it's an easy call.
Imagination smells amazing and I really want to get a bottle but I cant justify the price
I want to buy Ombré Nomade for this summer... it's an absolutely amazing perfume.
I just want to encounter a LV fragrance that supplies the same level of excitement that I received when wearing L’eau D’Issey Pour Homme back in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
That's my next purchase umbre nomade🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good choice!
Imagination is favorite since I tried, but the never get to like is Ombré Nomade.
i got Ombre Nomade and L’Immentese at first then i went for Imagination and Nuit de Feu, couldn't be happier, 2 perfect strong and 2 perfect freshies.
Just as I was about to order some LV samples the work is now done! Timely as ever. I have to agree Ombre Nomade is something else. But I have some real inspiration to be getting on with now too.

Did not like Imagination at first .. It is now my favorite! It’s a 10 for me.
my favorite is
1- Symphony.
2- Stellar Times.
Thank you so much for a wonderful review! And also thank you for giving Imagination a better review. I recall your original review of the scent was on the low end. This is my signature sent, and I’ve had a ton of compliments on this wonderful fragrance. 😊❤👍🏽
Used to not like Imagination but it has since been growing on my especially in the dry down. Would be great if you could do a MFK ranking list.
Recently got the Les Sables Roses and I’m enjoying its longevity and the way the smell transforms.

Definitely Orage! Good choice! Pacific Chill is creeping up there!
Recently purchased Ombre Nomade. It list high in reviews, but some reviews say it’s an Autumn / Winter fragrance. But a bit pricy for a few months of the year. Please provide your thoughts.

yeah they are quite pricey for sure.

@@Th3PianoMan Yes. Imagination followed by L’mmensite and afternoon swim.
ombre nomade is everything ive ever wanted in a fragrance! have you ever looked into the hermessence collection? i feel like ombre nomade and agar ebene could be cousins
Thanks for this review. I will try to get samples for Nomade and Afternoon Tea. 👍
My favotires are "pacific Chill" rich and long lasting orange and 'Imagination" very citrus and tea long lasting.
As soon as I saw the title, I already knew you were going to pick Ombré Nomad. One talked about it a lot in past videos. When are you going to review Pur Oud?!
Imagination is the only LV perfume I’m tempted to buy, I tried it on one arm and then I sprayed Amouage reflection man on the other and they are pretty similar so I’m confused on what to buy
They are not similar at all
There is nothing similar with those two
I have both those fragrances. They are nothing alike.
I bought my mom fleur du desert, and that just smells amazing on her
I agree with you with Imagination. Wow i felt deja vu hearing your experiences with that.
Awesome video! Thanks! I think LV has done an amazing job with their current line of perfumes, both in terms of quality and originality. They are pricey though.
My top lists
L'immensite
Ombre nomad
Imagination
Afternoon swim
Meteor
Pacific chill
Nuit de feu
My fave are Fleur du desert, Ombre Nomade, Nouveau monde and City of Stars.
Ombre Nomade 💯💯💯💯 knew it was gonna be your number 1 before i even opened the video
I have Afternoon swim and I love it , but it’s more for summer , I also like Ombré nomade but not sure if it can be worn by women , do You think a women can rock it ? Thanks !
Orage seems most interesting to me, Imagination is second, Les Sables Rose is interesting too but too common as many girls are wearing it.
They gave me multiple samples a couple of times but I have yet to find one that I liked. They were all headache inducing, too heavy. I am curious about Cactus Garden, though.
I think sur la rute more complex than afternoon swim , and longer lasting
Hi Seb, L'Immensité vs Tygar, both blindbuy, which one? :)
I wear Nouveau Monde, and am due to refill soon, have you had any feedback on the refill formula? I'm not sure I want to refill is performance and scent is markedly different
My favourite are
1. Ombre Nomade
2. Imagination
3. Fleur du Désert
4. Le Jour Se Lève
Those are all good.
Do you plan to review Aaron Terrace Hughes fragrances
1- les sables roses
2- Météore
3- l'immensité
4- Imagination
5- PUR OUD
I really like Imagination, and wore it a lot recently, but it lack complexity, can you think of some layering perfume that can work with this one?
Try it with baccarat rouge, god tier
I have the entire line, however they rely way too much on anbroxin in general.
Imagination has grown on me also
Au hasard is an amazing fragrance i would disagree with you on your assessment of it. The amount of compliments that I get while wearing it is off the charts.
What do you think of Dancing Blossom? I have a big birthday coming in September and was thinking of getting it do you think it's worth it. Thanks
Great job sebastian thank you for breaking these down
I saw your video for Pacific Chill on the 16, the 18 when it released I was at the store so hyped about it.....but it didn't do it for me..AT ALL...lol, I would rank it last for sure
LOL. Why do you not like it? The fruits?
I didn't like u left METEORE off the list but great list of LV COLOGNE What u think about SPELL ON YOU I know it's a women's perfume could a man wear it
Hi Sebastian. I tried noveau Monde in San Francisco. The best parfume ever. I found cheep alternative/ Gucci Guilty absolute. Greetings from Croatia.
Thanks for sharing!
I find imagination boring, I guess I will have to see if it grows on me, BUT me and my mom both love Les Sables! 🌹😍
Yes it was really really boring to me, my initial review I didn't care for it but it really grew on me.
Imagination reminds me of my 50 year old English teacher when I was back in high school
@@dreday77764🤣😂 sounds about right.
I've been waiting for this to come.....here goes finally 🎉🎉
Hello hello!!
ive had sur la route for 2 years and bottles practically full...just too green and grassy on my skin..au hasard is my top 3 lv scent..just got aftenoon swim and liking it also
Imagination ist the best scent ever made... not just from LV ;)
I'm a kouras ysl and gucci oud intense kinda person. What would u suggest for me ?
I love imagination, Meteore and Afternoon swim.
Totally agree with your top 3 😍😍
Any idea if I can buy a discovery set ! If so, from where? Thx
Orage and Imagination are the best.
Which one would you rate higher - LV Ombré Nomad or FM The Moon?
The Moon! It’s a masterpiece for me.
My Favs IMAGINATION and OMBRE NOMADE
I went to LV and try the fragrances and for me they are too sweet
I think sur la route is similar to eau fraiche from chanel its citrus fraiche what do you think and what s the woman fragrence from lvvthank you from morocco
Sur La Route is still my no1 frm LV. Layer it with The Dreamer and Au Coeur du Desert at night.. its goooood~
Inmmagination is your typically "cool water"scent that you find in samole bittles in the bathroom
