French Tobacco

If you love the fresh summer scents ... This fragrance will be a suitable choice for you. This fragrance is very similar to L'Homme Ideal Cologne Guerlain and I do not see it in any way similar to Imagination Louis Vuitton and tends to the masculine side of being a women's fragrance. Notes: - Top notes: red orange, green apple, mandarin - Heart notes: French Tobacco, Orange Blossom, Cinnamon, Ginger - Base notes: guaiac wood, lemon, olibanum, iris flower - The tobacco is not noticeable at all in the fragrance, The word tobacco has been appended to the name only for commercial advertising, nothing more or less. Scent: French Tobacco combines citrus notes and antique French tobacco, intertwined with warm woody notes that captivate the senses. The fragrant scent of iris flows between these notes like a fresh breeze with elegance and distinction. Embodying French luxury and elegance, it captivates hearts and carries the soul on a magical journey from vintage elegance to stunning modernity. The performance is above average in many stages, noting that it is a summer fragrance: - Longevity: + 5 hours - Sillage: + 3 hours The fragrance comes in a traditional bottle of Ibrahim Al Qurashi bottles with a size of 200ml

Yo, this is a seriously slept-on gem. I’m telling you hands off, because this might just be the best "Imagination" clone out there... or is it even a clone? Nah, it’s better, trust me. I’m already eyeing a 200ml backup bottle because I know once the word gets out, it’s gonna be all over the place. I’m gonna be gatekeeping this treasure like it’s a secret family recipe. Now, don’t get fooled by that punchy citrus blast in the beginning. It’s like, "Whoa, is this just another freshie?" But hold up! Give it a minute, and it really starts to unfold into something better. Performance? It's a BEAST. Projection? God-tier, you’ll be leaving a trail of compliments (or confusion, depending on who’s sniffing). Scent: 9/10 (Seriously, it’s that good) Projection: 9.5/10 (You're gonna be noticed, in a good way) Performance: 9.5/10 (Lasts longer than my desire to leave the couch) Overall: 9/10 (You need this in your life, like, yesterday)

This is one of the few fragrances in my collection I spray like an arab sheikh. It performs great, no issue there, but the scent profile and quality is so inoffensive that you can bathe in it and it would only make you more worthy of compliments. Peak dumb reach, easy signature scent but you must appreciate subtle soapy aspects. It's not chemical or anything to have you turning your nose, it's like baby soap. That might trigger some of you anti-neroli people but I sold Xerjoff Nio because at some point I couldn't get past the neroli anymore, and I love this. Gorgeous, and well worth the price especially when they have their half-off sales on the site. If you've been second guessing this, let this be your sign to follow through. And if you really think you're gonna like this, make sure you get the 200ml. You're gonna need it.

My brother got me this when he went to Saudi. He asked me to choose between French Tobacco and Arabian Tobacco. I wanted French because I knew it would be fresher. What an excellent fragrance. It has quickly become one of my favourite fragrances of all time. It starts off slightly spicier or “sharper” than LVs Imagination but they are close, it’s definitely not harsh although I can see why some would interpret it as this. 200mls with an atomiser that soaks you. Lovely fresh and clean scent that performs exemplary. It is simplistic when you first smell it but coming back after many many hours to it I can smell so much more, I’m really impressed by how captivating this scent is and how it goes from smooth to smoother. This is one that I will continue to purchase.

I bought this first as a decant and as soon as I sprayed it I told myself this is niche quality. The opening is very fresh and smooth, no hard edges, just engulfing freshness and a heavenly combo of citruses and green apple, then the ginger and neroli hit. The tobacco is understated in this fragrance, it is more like smelling fresh tobacco leaves or the tip of a freshly opened cuban cigar, it's not smokey at all, and it sits at the back. The longevity on this impressive as well. Gives me 10 hours + on my skin, projects well and wide for at least 3 hours. The value for money is crazy for such a niche quality fragrance. I ordered mine through a friend who was visiting Mecca (where the house is established), cost me something like 55 dollars for 200ml.

The scent is simple and easy to understand, kind of like when you walk into a men’s barbershop. It’s perfect for the climate in my country, which is hot all the time. When I wear it, the scent projects just the right amount. If you want to know what it smells like, think of freshness by the sea, with a breeze that keeps you cool. I’m also wondering if there’s some tobacco in it... haha! If you’re going to buy it, I’d recommend the 200ml — it’s totally worth it. Just spray away! I’m sure everyone around you, or anyone who catches a whiff, will love it. It’s sophisticated yet comfortable, and easy to understand. The scent isn’t mysterious, but it’s perfectly on point. Scent rating: 10/10.

I have been smelling this perfume for the last few months at my local shop and I finally pulled the plug and got the 100ml. I'm really enjoying this fragrance quite a bit. It's a really nice LV imagination type of fragrance with a twist, on my skin it opens crisp and spicy with the ginger and apple (at least for now, it's a new bottle and not matured much yet). After a few minutes, it becomes a lovely clean soapy tea fragrance that emits and lasts a long time. The soapiness reminds me of a really clean new hotel room. The tea takes me back to childhood, the vibe is my mum brewing a very seasoned Somali tea with black pepper and cardamom in the kitchen while I'm elsewhere in the house.

Went in with low expectations. I usually associate Middle Eastern houses (excluding Amouage and Oman Luxury) with heavy oud bombs, so a fresh soapy scent wasn’t what I expected. First spray surprised me. It’s fresh, slightly soapy, and very wearable. The tobacco isn’t dark or smoky barely noticeable to be honest. It’s quite linear, but I don’t mind that. What you smell in the opening stays consistent. Easy to wear, office safe, no headache. Tried other scents in store and most were loud, sweet, and dense. This was the only one that stood out. Bought it. For the price, genuinely impressive.

When i bought this i didn't like it it was harsh opening the dry down was good scent better then opening but that change completely after 2 months it becomes incredibly awesome oh my god i can't stop sniffing it 😅 it changed completely in perfect scent even performance and sillage it project strongly even longivity it lasts longer after maceration for me it's very underrated and its absolute bargain for 200ml my honest review after maceration Scent 9.5 /10 Sillage 8 /10 Longivity 7/10 it lasts about 8 hours I wear it day and night all seasons rounder

Absolute banger of a fragrance. It easily last 10 hrs on skin and lasts for days on fabric. For the sillage I thought it was ok but my friends noticed within +3 meters and I got multiple compliments from it. The opening is a very ginger heavy and it may be harsh for some but after 10-15 minutes it settles to this citrusy soapy and woody smell and I can't get enough of it, I do think it's close to Imagination but it's not 100% copy of it, it has it's own thing going on and to me makes it better with a fraction of the price. Easily 9/10

I'll start by saying I haven't tried LV Imagination so I won't be able to compare them. But my opinion about this fragrance on its own is excellent. I love it! It's like being in a fancy luxurious spa. Blissful, relaxed and fresh is what this makes me feel. Very lemon or citrus forward, so keep that in mind. For anyone who enjoys Acqua Colonia colognes for their freshness and cooling feel will definitely love this one. This is Acqua Colonia on steroids! The tobacco isn't very strong or masculine, as a woman I enjoy it a lot.

Tried Marwa, Aqua Dubai, and this. They're all decent in their own regard. But I have to say this one takes the cake. I abhor clones and only own a scant few. This is as close to Imagination as you'll get without dropping $350. It does have an incredibly harsh opening which anyone can easily point to and write this off. However - it literally lasts a few seconds, and this dries down to a nuclear projecting almost 1:1 dupe of the LV. Don't knock it until you try it! And save yourself money and the inane LV fanboy hivemind.

Already reviewed this in December 24. This is the first time ive felt the need to come back and review the fragrance again. I already loved it but I am obsessed with it now and seeing how much I already have used of it considering my collection of 80+ bottles makes me realise this. To me this is the perfect fragrance. It evolves, spicy sharp opening and then calming freshness in nature with just the right amount of sweetness. A contrast, a dance and an evolution. I sound crazy and pretentious but idc, this is top tier.

Bought the Tobacco Collection Set. French tobacco is inspired by Imagination. However it isn't close. It smells like an Intense Hybrid of Aqua Dubai and Zara's Sunrise on the Red Sand Dunes of which i have both. You better not overspray this as the opening is pretty overly strong and might overcome you. As it settles after about 15 minutes or so it remains strong on both skin and clothes. Those who like the dna and vibe can just get the baton like 200ml bottle and be happy with it.

I recently purchased this fragrance. On my first day wearing it in the office, I received five compliments throughout the day. It exudes a fresh, soapy, clean, and classy scent. The lemongrass, ginger, and citrusy notes are clearly noticeable, but the balance between these notes is perfectly harmonious. I had no idea it was similar to Imagination, but the quality of this fragrance is far superior to the other inspirations. I highly recommend it and give it a 5/5 rating.

Absolutely in shock this is a spin of Louis Vuitton imagination but wow does it match the notes on the money it opens with that strong mandarin orange green apple you got hints of the ginger this is my go to in summer now but what really blew me away is that for a summer fragrance I get 8 hours longevity and pretty strong spillage At this point as a hardcore fraghead you told me to choose a brand that gives you the absolute best value it's Ibraheem Al Qurashi

I find it leans towards Le Frenchy, but with much stronger performance. The smell is quite pleasant and the performance is quite amazing for a summertime cologne. This is very versatile & can be dressed up/down during day/night. It doesn’t matter as long as you are a mature man.

It’s not a dupe but it’s own thing. Shares the same Imagination DNA but has better citruses 🍊 and the dry down whilst soapy maintains those citruses. Longevity got better after a few uses. Ordered a back up bottle for this already.

fresh, Aqua, and very citrusy.. performance is beast.. lasts a whole day on skin for days on clothing with strong sillage.. didnt try imagination so cant compare both but I guarantee you would luv this one if you like fresh scents

Smells like a luxurious expensive soap. Fresh, citrusy, green, soapy, and lasts all day long. Name is deceiving though as there's no tobacco at all. It lasts all day if you spray enough, and for a 200ml bottle why wouldn't you?

I bought my 200ml and I was thinking this will perform like a cologne... but I was wrong. The fragrance is extremely potent for the scent profile, it lasts on skin for hours & days on clothes. I stop wearing it in hotter days.

Ive tried many imagination clones, by far this is the nicest purist liquid and doesnt cause any headaches. Projection is good the first couple hours, good longevity and for the size and price its a no brainer!

Smells amazing but synthetic. Maybe I should let it macerate for some time. But out of the bottle it has massive projection. Destroying senses around. Too strong! Just like Mancera Red Tobacco's female cousin.

Not a fan of neroli🪸 in perfumery but this slaps👌🏼 Beautiful freshie with the lemon grass🍋🍃, tobacco🪔, iris🌺& ginger🫚. These are the outstanding notes I get... Solid projection 8/10 Beautiful fragrance 8/10

This is hands down the most value for money clone of imagination. It's longer lasting and projects better than any clone. Super spicy opening is a bummer but wait for 5 mins or so and the magic happens .

This is amazing, better than marwa and stronger (My bottle has terrible performance), out of all the imagination dupes I have this is the best followed by hectic, art of arabia 1 and aqua dubai

This is an amazing scent profile, I didn't use imagination or Marwa but it's pure creation. Ginger and lemongrass bomb. Herbal citrus DNA. Love it. Also last longer and project well.

What can I say? It's Imagination with lemongrass instead of tea. It smells fantastic and lasts all day. I have zero complaints besides the tacky bottle but that's me being picky.

French Tobacco and FullHouse are the best Imagination dupes BUT the performance of FT is almost nuclear ! edit Aqua Dubai is better than Full house and even with FT

This is really beatiful, smells like warm fresh soapy clean citruses. performance is strong, i get more than 8h of longevity and projection is good too.

Best dupe of Imagination with very strong projection and absolutely awesome performance. Scent 9/10 Longevity 9/10 Projection 9/10

Great quality freshie not stinging just smooth and really calming, average performance tho but kinda a strong projector.

My go to dumb reach, great for gym and running errands. To me, it smells like a stronger version of imagination

Pretty close to imagination except the citrus is a bit brighter. Love spamming this in the morning

I have never gotten more compliments than this within my 60 bottles collection. Absolute banger.

To me it's The Best clone for LV IMAGINATION. Long lasting wih strong projection too

A greener imagination, imagination and greenly fusion into perfection.

the closest imagination compared to other, best dupe freshie imo

Wow wow wow A must must must buy perfume Outstanding performance

Nice dupe of Imagination with good performance and silage

this should be gatekept i don’t want the price to go up

Like dior cologne and guerlain cologne 👌🏻❤️

Longitivity 9/10 Projection 9/10 very good

I got a 20 ML bottle of this and here are my thoughts: I can go on record and say this is by far my most used fragrance in a single month ever. I only have 8 ML of this left. Is that a good thing? yes and no. Yes, because it is very pleasant to wear and easy to use and inoffensive. No because it has very poor performance and in comparison to imagination (which this is very clearly inspired by) I need to use more than ten sprays for the same performance I can get in three sprays with imagination. I am not too bummed about the performance because the price difference speaks for itself. But what I am bummed about is that this fragrance smells like a diluted cheaper version of imagination. In my opinion this does not do the job as a dupe. It is clearly lacking the sweetness depth, and the tea note that hits you in the back of the nose just right, also the citrus in it is less prominent and weaker than what I would have like. All in all a very pleasant and nice fragrance, especially to give to someone as a gift. It is very inoffensive, and you can spray it massively without worrying about it becoming cloying, but it does not replace imagination.

Picked this up in the summer, and after a dent in my 200ml bottle I can say this is a phenomenal fresh smell. The opening is a bit underwhelming to me (I get pure lemongrass and blood orange), but once it's out of that phase zoo wee mama. Smells wonderful. Ladies seem to love the dry down too, if that's what you're looking for. Also has some strong silage apparently, I was under the impression no one could smell unless close, but I've had people walk up to me to ask if the smell is coming from me and what I'm wearing. Also, a VERY attractive price for what you're getting. Overall 8.9/10 and that's only bc I don't fancy myself a fresh scent kinda guy.

okay another review for the non arab , this is not a clone, in the same line ? yes how close is it ? ill say about 65% , french tobacco is less soaper has the spices more in the sharp side , if you look for a clone for LV i don't recommend this at all , this's in the same world cheaper but (better in my opinion) with a spices touch , the only problem it's the performance not that good. overall 9.2/10

I never smelled the OG, but this smells good fresh and clean, citrusy opening and soapy dry down but I could not smell any tobacco as the name suggests. One more good thing is it comes in 200ml and I bought it very cheap during the recent promotions like 20$, and now I can press that trigger heavily.

العطر متقارب من ايماجنيشن بس مع سبايسيز و اقل في الرائحة الصابونيه ، جميلللل بس الاداء مو كويس ، افتتاحيته مزعجه شوي لبعض الناس حرفيا قنبلة سبايسز مع حمضيات بس لما يبرد يصير ولا اروع نظيف صابوني حمضي شوي سبايسي ، لما يبدا يروح تطلع ريحة التبغ بشكل خفيف كويس و حلو بنفس الوقت

Ibraq French Tobacco is a very pleasant fresh fragrance with strong performance. The scent is enjoyable and noticeable, but the purity isn’t perfect—sometimes it can feel a bit harsh or slightly irritating. Overall, a solid and appealing fragrance. Rating: 7.5/10

Just wait 30 minutes-1 hour and its about 95% imagination lv or even 1:1 but the first part is imagination with more citrus and more green herbals and lemongrass just wait and it turns into very close or 1-1 imagination very worth it especially being cheap
