So I went to Short Hills Mall in NJ and really enjoyed walking around. My first stop was Louis Vuitton, where I picked up LV Pacific Chill and LV Imagination.
Side note: they were completely out of samples, which was a bummer.
I tested both on separate wrists right there in the store and really liked the scent profiles. But once I left and got home, the performance was straight-up horrific. I sprayed around 7pm, got home around 10pm, and my friends could barely smell anything — it was basically a skin scent at that point if that.
I’m not trying to drop that much money on fragrances that disappear so fast, especially when there are so many good clones and dupes out there for a fraction of the price.
It’s possible the tester bottle in the store was weak, or maybe I just didn’t spray enough… I’m not sure 🤷♂️ I’m willing to accept defeat if someone says I didn’t spray enough or bad batch.
Question for you guys: Should I exchange these two for Sun Song and Ombré Nomade? I’ve heard those are a lot stronger, and I already like their scents too. The other LV I’m not a fan of no hate but afternoon swim, L’immensity and meteore are not for me. What’s your take?
