Maybe it's just me but I don't understand what all the fuss is surrounding LV Imagination. I just got a decant of it in yesterday and it's the most underwhelming fragrance I've smelled and meteore is right there with it. Out of the 3 decants I ordered the only one I remotely liked was Pacific Chill and it's simply not worth the price. I just don't get the fascination with these.

Another Burlington find that I left the other day, but I went back today and came across with it again (the only one) a couldn’t resist to take it home. - Lattafa - Asad Elixir: $34.99 (An alternative to Boss Bottle Absolu)

It’s inspired by CH Men by Carolina Herrera. Al Azal comes across stronger due to a higher dose of leather, while CH Men has a more citrusy-sweet nuance, but at the dry down, they smell very similar. Al Azal is a beautiful, sophisticated and elegant fragrance, that will get you noticed and complimented. Ideal for cooler weather, but versatile enough for year round use, with great projection and longevity. Top Notes: Caraway, Sage, Bergamot, and Spices.
