Hersh 2

Hands down this is a better Imagination. I’ve tried quite a few of the dupes and compared them to the og. Aqua Dubai has a synthetic syrupy soapiness that I didn’t really vibe with. Full house was ok but didn’t have the LV magic that the og brought to the table. Marwa was literally just the citrus version of the og without much soapiness. THIS however ticked all the boxes and was 1/4 of the price of the og. The smell is practically 1:1. Instead of citron in the beginning, Hersh 2 opens with an almost candied lemon smell that is reminiscent of “lemon heads” but without the bitterness. After the 3-5 min mark, it is barely distinguishable from Imagination. To top it all off, the SLIGHT twist they made was to make the soapiness just 2% sweeter and I personally prefer it to the more generic and airy profile of the og. The quality is unlike any other dupe that I’ve smelled. It’s like they somehow stole LV’s oils and ingredients and put them in a different branded bottle. The other brands that I’ve tried just don’t come anywhere near the quality that I want from this type of fragrance but Hersh 2 somehow manages to nail it for $100. I sprayed this on my left hand after being outside doing yard work and went to the store. I was there for MAYBE 5 mins and I had received a compliment. MIND YOU, I STILL STUNK FROM BEING OUTSIDE ALL DAY. I’m not too sure what the longevity and performance is because I feel like I’m going noseblind to it relatively quickly on my skin, but I got a good 7-8 hours while it was on clothes. The scent bubble it creates is a generous 5-6ft as well. The ONLY downside I can see people having with this fragrance is the price tag for a dupe. I paid $100 for a 100ml bottle but comparing it to Imagination’s $380 price tag, I will happily cough up the Benjamin for the exact same juice. I like Imagination quite a bit but I could never justify buying a bottle for myself because of how simplistic the scent profile is. Now that I’ve found the perfect alternative, I will definitely be buying backups. Overall, Hersh 2 is the perfect soapy fragrance and I like it more than the of Imagination. 10/10 WILL purchase again

I waited so Long for this to be here! Guys it’s unavailable in 80% of the world unlike the Emarati imagination dupes and Bujairmi Its a Saudi Fragrance unlike the popular middle eastern dupes that come from Emirates Saudi Arabia is famous in our middle east with the most nuclear performance manufactory of Perfumes. Anyway , Let me put it straight, i am a sucker to the imagination DNA i own Hectic, Marwa , 30ml Kobra Decant and Aqua Duba.. Kobra is the loudest projecting by far but very synthetic and not very pleasant,Marwa was my favorite in Terms of scent smell amazing but its barely a skin scent, Hectic was a little less lowder and weaker than Kobra in projection but smelled refined and better blended so it was my go to interms of balance between the nice smell and projection Until one day my brother went to Saudi Arabia and Got me this fragrance Hersh 2 with him and OMG OMG What da hell is that how is that not internationally Hyped The scent is so well blended, refined, beautiful and most importantly with all that quality the projection and sillage is X 100 from all the rest of them including imagination itself !! Best fragrance in my whole collection it stays on the clothes for days and days projecting for more than 3 hours basically think of it like the imagination DNA performing on you as one of the heavy oud winter fragrances but instead of the loud dark smell, you smell imagination freshness and soapiness Opening is much citrusy than all of them but takes 10 minutes till its an amazingly refined soapy, tea note and citrus 100 out of 10... Super Highly recommended

I managed to pick this up from Vinted and authentic bottle from Saudi, and was really pleased as these are super rare in the UK. I got this for just £50. In Saudi I think it's around £35. Price aside let's focus on the fragrance How I would describe this to someone is a soft, but ever present breeze of freshness that wafts all day long. I sprayed this at 7:30am before work and can still smell this at 11pm at night. If I go gym it's a really soft and non offensive safe fragrance that people compliment all the time Majorly mass appealing soapy citrus bright profile I've never smelt Louis Vuitton Imagination but I wouldn't spent £260 on a bottle over this. This is my favourite fragrance I've ever owned. So versatile and very lovable by all. Had compliments from my guy friends and people at work. Girlfriend and me go noseblind to it in the first two hours as this thing projects LOUD for two hours or so and leaves a solid 6foot sillage easily I only spray twice This is what makes it for me the best By the evening it's just a small bubble around me (10-11hours in) But if I go to bed I still smell it the next morning before my shower. Lasts weeks on clothes Incredible fragrance, go buy and try yourself I'd pay £100+ for this again no second thoughts

O Hersh 2 é claramente um perfume de estilo “fresh luxury” moderno, com forte inspiração no ADN do Louis Vuitton Imagination. Pirâmide olfativa Topo: limão, bergamota, laranja → abertura muito fresca e brilhante Coração: gengibre + canela + flor de laranjeira → especiado aromático elegante Base: ambroxan, incenso, madeira de guaiaco, chá preto → assinatura limpa, moderna e levemente fumada. Evolução: 0 – 20 min → cítrico energético “luxury shower gel”. 20 min – 3h → especiado fresco com vibe “sabão caro”. Drydown → amadeirado limpo + chá + ambroxan, muito agradável e versátil. Performance (ponto forte) Projeta +/- 3h e dura quase o dia todo Imagina roupa acabada de lavar premium, com toque cítrico doce + chá + leve especiado. Muito limpo, sofisticado, versátil e fácil de usar, excelente equilíbrio entre frescura e profundidade, performance acima da média. Veredicto final Nota geral: ⭐ 9.5/ 10 O Hersh 2 é sem dúvida o melhor clone do Imagination, muito bem executado e ideal como signature scent moderno e versátil.

I own the new white-cap version produced in January 2026. Don’t be misled by the nonsense performance claims. As someone who previously tried 5 ml of the older yellow-cap version and decided to buy it, I can say this is still strong and projects well, with no noticeable change in the scent. Unlike many clones, the opening is not disturbing at all. There is a slight synthetic touch, of course, but after about half an hour it develops into that lightly soapy, slightly cinnamon-like tea scent that defines Imagination. I actually had serious doubts about the new version because of what people were saying here — I even contacted the brand on Instagram. They told me that only the cap was changed, nothing else, and that they are even working on improvements for better performance. In my opinion, that seems accurate. It’s very strong and an almost identical clone of Imagination. I bought four bottles, and I have no regrets at all.

This is just as good — if not better — than Imagination when it comes to depth. I’m really trying not to overhype it, but honestly, that’s just the reality. Once more people get their nose on this, I think it’s going to absolutely explode in popularity. The opening is definitely more citrus-forward for the first 20–25 minutes. After that, it settles into something very close to Imagination, maybe leaning slightly heavier into the tea note. You still get that signature clean, soapy freshness, with the tea and soft citrus lingering as the brightness fades into the background. Performance: Above average — borderline nuclear. I haven’t tested it on clothing yet, but on skin it performs extremely well. It’s priced higher than most clones, but there’s a reason for that. It almost feels like Louis Vuitton created this as an official flanker to Imagination itself. This is a rare and certified 10 out of 10.

Here’s a full review of the fragrance: First, the scent: Right after the first spray, straight out of the box, you get a strong citrusy lemon opening that might come off a bit sharp or harsh to some. As it dries down, you start to notice the ginger, ambroxan, and Chinese black tea. The base is truly beautiful, calm, and enjoyable. Now, after maceration: My bottle is now about 3 months old, and the scent has developed a lot, it has become truly addictive. The quality is very high I honestly can’t stop spraying it. Everything that was sharp in the opening has become smoother and more balanced. The harsh lemon has toned down significantly and feels much softer, while the tea note is more noticeable in the base. Performance: For a fresh summer fragrance, the performance is excellent. I get around 8 hours on clothes, with projection lasting about 2 hours. 9.5/10 — an excellent choice for summer.

Disclaimer: I had a decant of Imagination and bought this when it ran out. I never compared the two fragrances side-by-side so this is all by memory. After 10 minutes it is basically identical to Imagination, but with insane performance. Two days after spraying on a sweatshirt, it's still completely there. In terms of smell, the only difference is that it evolves slightly slower than the OG over time, but again, there's barely a difference. I have the old batch with the the gold cap, but apparently the new batch with the white cap has terrible performance, which is really unfortunate. TLDR: Smell is almost identical, better performance (old batch, gold cap)

Like the reviewer bellow me said. This is a masterclass in a bottle , In my humble opinion , this is better than imagination, this is 20% Tales of zanzibar mixed with 80% imagination. The fragrance is very well blended and has excellent longevity. Pure masterclass, so refreshing and uplifting , the calabrian bergamot mixed with the chinese black tea and some orange blossom , can’t get enough of it, I spend all day smiling when I wear this , just a truly remarkable scent. holy moly . Maybe I will stop my fragrance journey here. I dont think I will fine another more refined fragrance in the market. This is sooooo good.

This product is truly very close to Imagination. If you smell it very closely on skin, you may notice that the soapy facet feels slightly synthetic, but honestly, if I had smelled this from a Louis Vuitton bottle, I wouldn’t have doubted it for a second. Of course, when you spray them side by side and consciously look for differences, your brain will try to detect them. However, if you tested them blind, you could easily mix them up. As someone who was considering buying Imagination for summer, I will definitely close the Imagination chapter with Hersh2 instead.

Incredible quality, this one screams, insane performance, projection and quality for a freshie. I have Marwa as well but I didn’t like it as much as this one, although they smell kinda similar but hersh2 is much better, I am not a fragrance expert by any means, but this one has something that is addicting!! Love it 10/10 for me. Update: after some maceration and woow the guaiac wood note is present in the drydown and the sharp lemon note which I do like is tamed a little bit.. I even like it more now, it’s so addictive.

OMG This is one of the best fragrances I've ever smelled. The quality is absolutely insane. I'm blown away. Forget the notes. This smells like an ultra luxurious spa soap. It even reminds me of those premium hot towels you get after a fine dining meal, in the best way possible. Super fresh, soapy, musky, with a beautiful ginger kick in the dry down. The quality and performance are absolutely insane. (after 5 hours - sweet cinnamon pop out) One of the best fragrances I've ever smelled. Highly recommended. 100/10

The longevity is insane with this one. Not synthetic at all. As it matures, the citrusy opening calms down (still there but in a balance with that tea and soapiness). If you can find the old batch (which I am not sure there are any differences in) at a reasonable price (the brand is not as popular, so it is expensive globally, but the prices are in the clone price range originally), I would recommend this. When I don't know what to put on, my dumb reach is this, and I've never regretted it.

lemme tell you something , i have imagination and this IS the closest dupe out there , i have Bujairami Hectic and Mykonos Inception , they are within 85-90% , but this one is crazy close ,i would give this 95-97% closeness , the only difference is imagination is a little spicier , very little. SCENT: 10/10 PROJECTION : Very good LONGEVITY: 12 hours , around 8 until low projection P.S: you might see words out there saying the new crown white cap version is weak , its not.✌️

I finally got the gem to the East coast. Bought from GoldenScent March 15 and literally received it April 14.... NO REGRETS ! I was able to get it for $53 and people charging $120 on eBay (lowkey worth it you don't want to wait). I don't believe in 1;1 not possible but this is very close I would say this is better than Hectic(drydown) or Mawra(performance) Projects for excellent for 5 hours wow and skin scent after 12 hours.

Hersh 2 Is a solid all year-round compliments magnet. The scent is fresh spicy, citrusy, dry & woody with intensified wood accords which makes it even more masculine and not your typical summer freshie that can only be worn in heat instead it projects and cuts through the cold air. Smells very high quality and for the price point it's a real banger.

This is the best dupe for LV Imagination on the market. I’m absolutely in love with this fragrance. Whenever I wear it, I don’t even want to use my other perfumes. It works perfectly in both summer and winter, and it lasts longer than Imagination. I will definitely keep buying it again and again.

@icecore Bruh Ur signature fragrance is "Signature Silver" (It's literally smells like a sheep barn) and you call this basic freshie?? Okay I know fragrances are subjective and everyone has their own taste, but bruh preferring to smell like a sheep barn instead of fresh and clean that's crazy

It is definitely reminiscent of imagination. Regardless, it is undeniably an incredible citrus, fresh neroli, woody black tea fragrance. I'd argue probably one of the best parfums you can get at the price range. Highly recommended.

Just got mine(new batch) Quality is very good, not synthetic at all Very good performance Didn’t try imagination but judging it by itself this is a very clean elegant slightly spicy and green fragrance that i highly recommend

Finally they’ve added this high-quality masterpiece, which I consider the best dupe to Imagination and the strongest performance among all the clones, I really recommend it to you guys, it's truly amazing and addictive🔥🤤

Açılış normal Imagination a göre daha limon ağırlıklı başlıyor ama 3-5 dakika sonra ufak ufak kurumaya başladıkça inanılmaz bir hale geliyor. Yayılım ve kalıcılık çok başarılı.

IMO as at 19 Ima say this is imagination elixir(I’m old batch) it refined smooth as original but not smell same at all and it has better longevity I’m giving it solid 9/10

At first its sharp after is settles on skin it smells beatiful its longevity and projection is really good for a summer scent i loved it.

What sets this fragrance apart from other Imagination Arabian clones is that it's very attractive and long-lasting.

للأمانه عطر نقي فواح ثابت و قريب لعطر ايماجينيشن... حطيت منه رشتين على ذراعي و بقى معي يوم كامل و أنا أشم فيه..ممتع

If I put this thing in LV bottle and named it Imagination Elixir, Many one will believe it lol.

Refined uplifting addictive smell, can’t stop smelling my wrist and makes me smile

IDGAF with LV imagination,but this one is crazy good,my number one Arabic perfume

Soapy, long lasting, high quality dupe of Imagination. Highly recommended!

This perfume smells so good, I can't imagine how good imagination is.

Forever gatekeeping and telling people this is marwa

Best imagination DNA. Better than the original

gag the nation just buy it. TRUST

Just received my hersh 2 (gold cap) last week. Current confuse on how it should smell like. Opens with a citrus lemon/bergamot bomb. After that, a strong strong musky citrusy note takes over. It lacks the soapy accords like hawas kobra/bujairami hectic. However, after few hours, the energizing,soapy, calming notes comes out. They probably added ambroxan a little too much for eternal longevity. Not sure if i got a bad batch, no review mentioned how musky it is. Will let it rest for a month to see if it changes.

If you want to feel like you’ve just stepped out of a spa/hammam, or if you're unwinding at the end of the day with an iced churchill in hand and just want a peaceful, chill vibe—this is the fragrance for you. That's exactly how it makes you feel. However, it's not really meant for the office or complex, busy environments. As for the scent: it smells like white soap, tea, and aquatic/blue notes. Keep in mind, it doesn't have a 'green' smell. Also, it’s not overly masculine—it’s definitely more unisex.

Tried this in store today on skin. It’s a good imagination clone. Doesn’t have any harsh off smells, well blended, but it’s no where near as good as the original. Like every other clone it lacks the depth and magic. I don’t know what it is but they just can’t get it right. This is more like an improved version of Marwa than it is imagination. I won’t be buying it as it’s £70 which is pretty much designer pricing

To me it smells nothing like imagination, it smells to my nose like a lemonade with a very distinct ginger note, the ginger in this is very prominent. Performance wise its what to be expected of a fresh scent it projects okay people will smell you if you are close enough. Not for me, i think its a pleasant scent but i wouldn't use it and there definitely are better colognes for the price.

note: i have a decant from a white cap bottle the opening is ethereal but the more it dries down it just turns into musk, which is not why i put this on so it is a shame that it spends most of its duration as just musk extremely weak performance i'm probably going to buy a bottle just for the opening but i know i will end up regretting it

It caught my attention and I've been comparing it with OG and other copies for a few days now, and I'm honestly afraid to give a final verdict. Everyone who likes Imagination, do yourself a favor and try it.

I received the white crown with white string, batch number 10049, and it's labelled 'EAU DE PAREUM' — not even 'Parfum' lol. What a joke, wasted $100

Its fine, idk why I bought it while having vibrato, amberful and mefisto but if you dont own any of these go for it

This is almost a copy of 555 cologne, if you're Egyptian, you know it for sure 😄

Magical scent, weak performance on my skin.

try white cap, just info the smell is full of lemon at first, really strong punch my nose

Siz puana ve yorumlara bakmayın. Bu bizim bildiğimiz limon kolonyasinin konsantre hali. Sakın para harcamayin bu bildiginiz kolonya. Parfum falan degil bu. Son donemde Arap ve BAE markaları icin burada abartılı puanlama ve değerlendirme yapılıyor. Kendiniz denemeden bu bölgenin ürünlerini almayın. Şu anda 4.80 ortalama puana sahip ve bu açıkça ancak bir palavra olabilir. Küçük sosyal medya bütçeleri ile bu sayfalardaki değerlendirmeleri manipüle ediyorlar.

Guys, writing this as a warning. It does not smell very close to Imagination. I made the mistake of blind buying after watching some reviews and reading comments but this is straight up lemonade. Maybe %70 close imagination. Marwa is closer, even it is not a 1:1, still closer than Hersh 2. Do not blind buy and fell for the hype!

This is not really an imagination dupe, it is VERY lemony. Lemonade like lemony. Imagine the citrusy, candied lemon vibes from middle eastern Aventus clones.

Be aware of new release of hersh 2 which has white crown cap with white cord around cap instead of the one with turquoise cord and square kind of cap! It’s so so so weak only last 5 minutes on the skin and that sit it’s gone!!! I purchased bottle yesterday from Fordgate pharmacy in Melbourne after i tried the tester they have ( first release turquoise cap ) a week ago it’s was super powerful scent, so good and lasts all day in my arm!! But at that time was no stock and hersh 2 is sold out! so i was keep an eye on their website till i saw they drop off hersh 2 and back in stock, i went to pickup a bottle but i was shocked they watered down the juice, the bottle looks cheap, the white cap is not painted well and small white flakes comes off and seat around the bottle, the embossed hersh title almost invisible! low engraved, not like the old bottle, i own Hersh lahab and the engraved embossed name title more visible and has the 3D feeling on letters, Alezz oud gain good reputation for quality in short time but with strategy to cut down the cost they will lose this reputation so quick aswell, im sure Fordgate pharmacy buys directly from original company, not from other sources or get fake perfumes, shame on Alezz to water down this gem and same for this cheap looking bottle and super cheap presentation box, you can do better ... i give it 0/10, Old bottle 100/10.

Overall good scent. Initally opens like a lemonade punch cocktail. but this is only for 5 mins then the ginger and tea notes come into effect giving that imagination like vibe. is it 100% imagination ? NO! but its a close once it dries down. performace is great. i got upto 7 hrs on skin with room filling projection for 2 hrs and 10 hrs on clothes. It gets you compliments as well! i would still say marwa is closer than it but this performs and projects very well without losing the DNA of imagination 9/10
