Visionary — the Louis Vuitton Imagination dupe, built as an Extrait
Visionary is Alexandria's inspired-by alternative to Louis Vuitton Imagination — the bright, tea-and-citrus scent that became one of LV's most searched-for fragrances. If you love how Imagination smells but not the price, this is the version built to actually last: a true Extrait de Parfum, hand-filled in the UK, for the long-wear performance the original is often criticised for lacking.
This isn't a thin, high-street imitation that vanishes after an hour. It's a full re-build of the same scent DNA at a concentration most designer houses never reach, so the citrus-tea-ambroxan accord radiates for hours rather than minutes.
The scent pyramid
Visionary opens on a soft burst of southern-Italian citrus, settles into a clean, warm heart, then dries down to a calm woody-tea base.
Top notes
Citron · Calabrian bergamot · Sicilian orange
Heart notes
Nigerian ginger · Ceylon cinnamon · Tunisian neroli
Base notes
Chinese black tea · Guaiac wood · Ambroxan
The result reads as fresh, elegant and effortlessly "signature-safe" — equally at home in the office, on a flight, or poolside in summer.
Why it lasts longer than the original
Performance comes down to oil concentration. Louis Vuitton sells Imagination as an Eau de Parfum, and fresh citrus blends at that strength tend to fade fast — especially in cooler UK weather. Visionary is formulated as an Extrait de Parfum, which anchors those volatile citrus top notes and lets the fragrance evolve across the full day. Expect strong projection early and a scent trail that's still there hours later.
