Short answer: Louis Vuitton Imagination layers best with partners that share its ambroxan and add one new direction. Combos people actually wear include Louis Vuitton On The Beach, Creed Aventus and Creed Royal Oud. Skip dense oud, thick smoke and heavy gourmands that smother the citrus.
Louis Vuitton Imagination layers best when one fragrance leads and the other has a clear supporting job: brightness, softness, texture, or depth. Start on clean, moisturized skin and let the first layer settle for 20–30 seconds before the second.
