Imagine

Thanks to Pitbull friend's honesty & advice I bit the bullet & bought this perfume "unsniffed". It arrived the next day (wow!) in a beautiful pink chiffon draw-string bag & I am definitely NOT disappointed. It is not a high-brow, high-end perfume with a multitude of notes, depth & detail - it is simply a gentle, uncomplicated delight. Spraying the scent is like being butterfly-kissed by light sweet lotus & coconut milk - raw, green, fruity coconut milk, not the creamy fleshy kind of coconut. If you have ever been to a tropical paradise island & tasted REAL coconut milk & REAL pinapple you will know much of a difference this makes. It settles quickly into a sweet, souffle-light mix of coconut-rice-orange. The fruit content is very low, delicate & slightly sour. The blossoms are light, sweetish & sun-warmed. Everything is hazy & subtle - like a perfume mirage. It does not have a heavy sillage, although I can clearly smell it on my skin & around my room. It lasts longer than I thought it would - after 5 hours I still have a warm veil of it on my skin - a gentle nod towards Kenzo Amour but far, far less heavy. I am SO pleased I have this in my collection - my summer days in a bottle. Feminine without being girly, delicate without fading away, coconut without the cheap, sweet, synthetic pina colada.

Burst of citrusy tangerine, supported by florals and some coconut in the background. Slightly salty and marine. This is a coastal fragrance that evokes the image of cute boutiques by the sea. Perfect for summer heat. Doesn't last long, but at the low price point, I can keep spraying. A tip, layer on top of coconut oil for an extra coconutty scent and this will prevent the perfume from absorbing into your skin. If Margot Elena made a higher concentration perfume or extrait, I would gladly pay more. It's one of my all time favorite scents for summer. I've smelled tons of niche perfumes and Margot Elena is the closest to niche without niche prices I've found. Smell: 10 out of 10 Longevity: 5 out of 10 Feminine For reference, I'm female.

This fragrance is youthful and pretty! The prominent notes on my skin are the Rice Flower and the Coconut Milk. It has a Medium Sillage that lasts for 3-4 hours before turning into a skin scent. On clothing it lasts twice as long! I'm wearing this on rainy Autumn morning but this perfume is like a daydream of a Summer's Day. It is very tropical and creamy and feminine. Note: This was previously discontinued but is available once again on the MargotElena.com website!!

I kick myself every time I think of this scent because I found it in TJ Maxx for 15 bucks and I should have gotten it but at the time I was like ''Oh, it's simplistic.'' Only after trying it once again,I felt that swell of regret. It's like delicate fragile notes, so pretty and polished like little pearl buttons on a sweater. The jasmine, coconut and lotus dance together in such beautiful harmony. I need to find this again.

Imagine has a lovely watery quality to it, and is more complex than most coconut perfumes I've ever smelled. It is sweet but not overpoweringly so. It smells very much like coconut from the bottle, and dries down to a very fresh floral and fruity scent. This perfume has a perfect tropical feel without being reminiscent of suntan lotion at all. I definitely get the notes of jasmine and mandarin as well. Love it!
