Some perfumes don't
smell fresh. They smell composed.

If you love the clean, expensive, fresh citrus energy of Louis Vuitton Imagination but not the luxury price tag, Imagine Noise No. 87 by The CLONE was made for you. It opens with sparkling bergamot, citron and Sicilian orange — the first sip of something crisp and chilled under the Mediterranean sun — then melts into smooth black tea, soft neroli, warm ginger and clean ambroxan. Refined, magnetic, and quietly powerful — for only $45.

— Fragrance Profile —

A bright, smooth, clean-luxury extrait.

The first spray is fresh, sparkling and energetic — Calabrian bergamot, citron and Sicilian orange create an opening that feels clean and expensive. Ginger adds a subtle warm spice and keeps the citrus from feeling too simple. As it settles, neroli and black tea come forward, giving it that smooth, aromatic, sophisticated character people love in luxury fresh colognes. The dry-down of ambroxan, guaiac wood and white musk is polished, masculine and long-lasting without ever becoming heavy.

"It does not just smell fresh. It smells composed. Expensive. Confident — like fresh linen on warm skin, sunlit citrus, and clean luxury that turns heads without trying."

— Expert Comparison —

Imagine Noise No. 87 vs. LV Imagination.

Where they feel similar: a bright, sparkling citrus opening, a refined tea-like heart of neroli and ginger, and a clean ambroxan, woods and musk dry-down — the signature of a clean luxury cologne. Where they differ: the designer original can cost around $350, while Imagine Noise delivers that same elevated citrus-tea signature for $45. Fresh enough for daytime, elegant enough for the office, smooth enough to become your everyday signature.

"I own a decant of Louis Vuitton Imagination and this is the closest alternative I've found. The fresh citrus opening and clean tea-like dry down are incredibly similar — refined, airy, and expensive."
