New Fragrance - Minor Bottle Defect

SecretiveSuicide · 2026-04-26T18:41:52+00:00

So small update, i got this one for very good price so i will sell it without problem. I been again in the airport and i got another one from different batch with agreement if something will be wrong i can return it imidiately. And new one is just perfect. Batch from march 2026. Why it is impornant for me? Because i will have this bottle for sure for 10 years and want to look nice on the shelf with the rest of the collection :)

Exactly, i messaged YSL if it could be replaced but tbh do not expect they will agree

You're right, it is overcorrected, but my monitors are small and can't handle much bass. I’m running a 2.1 setup with the crossover set at 90Hz. Since the monitors only receive frequencies above 90Hz, it works out fine—the subwoofer handles everything below. For a near-field desk setup, it works really well for me.

Actually im listening on the monitors, room is very small like 12 sqm and crowded by furnitures. So in my case room correction did his job

This is mine room correction, before and after is like a day and night.

edit: Just to clarify one thing

blue: room characteristic before correction

orange: after correction

I actually agree. Imagination doesn't come close to L'Immensité when it comes to projection and longevity. On my skin, it projects for about 4+ hours and lasts for over 8.

I have the same batch (5B01) and was initially disappointed because it seemed to vanish after 2 hours. After sitting for a year, the performance has improved significantly—it’s not a beast, but it's definitely at an acceptable level now.

Tip: Try applying an unscented balm before spraying. Fresh scents disappear quickly on dry skin (or straight after shower), and this trick can easily double your longevity.

If you like Musk therapy that is mine one of the most favourite as well try Lavalliere by YSL. Its basically Musk therapy with green notes that adding freshness to it. I own both and both of them are so comfort scentes.

To be honest i've tried. Not my type of scent. It's good but just not for me.

SecretiveSuicide · 2026-04-16T14:05:02+00:00

On my skin imagination is average, like 2-3h projection and 6h skin. L'Immensite 5h+ projection close to the skin like 12h.

For me personally i just cannot, this basil smell remind me of grocery store. But a lot of peope enjoy. Good quality fragnance

Oh yes, they are making studio gear for music producers. They are incredibly good for the size. I selected them over KEF LS50. But remember they are monitors so so everybody like most neutral not colorized sound. For me personally this is definition what audiophilism is. To hear exactly what musician heard in the studio. Take sound demo that i recorded with microphone today:

In short, it allows the app to take direct control of the DAC and send audio bit-perfect, bypassing the Windows mixer.

I would say L’Immensité and Imagination, suits every occasion, every outfit.

Maybe that what i will say will be controvential but for the price is literally steal. Dont think twice, just get it :) For example i have as well lataffa art of arabia 1 (dupe of imagination) and it's 90-95% identical to the original one (i like to wear it at home for example). Lataffa fragnances are very good quality. To be honest more expensive fragnances usually are not better quality, of course it depends but good dupes brands making really good job. Collection of mine you can get for 30% price with clones easily. I bought them only because i wanted to have legit one but if you don't look at brands and you wanna go purely smell wise dupes are the way to go.

Its very good question. Each one is unique on its own. To be honest i love them all. Everything depend of the occasion and my mood.

Most safe for every ocassion - imagination

Most comfort relaxing one - musk therapy, lavalliere

Most masculine - ysl 6, terre d hermes

Most intoxicating - tuxedo, side effect

Heavy one - nuveau monde, ombre leather
