Al Haramain Amber Oud - Aqua Dubai - Cologne for Men and Women - Bergamot, Amber, Musk Fragrances - Long Lasting Perfume for Men and Women - 2.5 oz

Disclaimer for the following: this is how the fragrance smells to MY NOSE along with performance on MY SKIN. As with all fragrances your mileage may vary due to differences in natural body scent and individual nose sensitivity. If you’re unsure, there’s always the option of buying a decant/sample from the manufacturer or reputable fragrance website. First of all this has an amazing pressurized atomizer. Love it. Upon initial spray it has a laundry detergent/soapy opening that some may find off putting. I didn’t mind it too much as by the 15-20 min mark the sharpness of the opening went away. The magic is in the heart/dry down. The soapy-ness goes away to make room for a wonderful, fresh, slightly citrusy/fruity smell mixed with amber. Simply divine. After the opening the citrus lingers ever so slightly allowing for musk notes to come forward and the amber to mix with the base notes to give it this great blend of citrus, amber, musk and slightly sweet powdery smell after dry down. Very intoxicating and addictive. Great longevity that lasted well into the next day for me. Projection lasted about 4 hours for me and eventually wore down to an intimate skin scent bubble by the next day. Great bang for your buck. This is great daily scent or office setting work fragrance in my opinion. As for the dupe comparison I would not call it a 1:1. This fragrance is more of a twist on the LV OG and to my nose seemed to be missing the tea and ginger notes that imagination has, because of that I would say this is 85-90% close to its inspiration. Where I would recommend this over the OG is the performance and price point. Overall, if you’re a fan of fresh slightly masculine fragrances, I would highly recommend you give Aqua Dubai a go.

Al Haramain Aqua Dubai is pure luxury in a bottle. The presentation alone is stunning — heavy bottle, magnetic cap, and premium packaging that makes it feel like something way more expensive. The scent is bold, fresh, and slightly sweet with an aquatic-woody profile that turns heads. It has this clean, high-end vibe with a touch of citrus and amber that makes it perfect for evening wear or special occasions. It’s not your average blue fragrance — it’s richer and more complex. What really sets it apart is the performance. This stuff lasts forever — 10+ hours easily, with strong projection in the first few hours and a beautiful dry-down that stays on clothes until the next day. If you’re looking for a signature scent that feels luxurious and stands out from the crowd, Aqua Dubai is a solid investment.

This is the best dupe cologne I have ever bought. It smells exactly like Imagination by Louis Vuitton. It makes me smell grand, luxurious, and rich. The bottle is also very simple and neat too. After spraying, it lasts about six to eight hours. It is worth the price 100%.

Smells very very close to Imagination. Small subtle differences but worth the cost savings over the original. Compliments are plentiful when wearing this. Projection and longevity are 9/10 all day. Love this!

This is a clone of Louis Vuitton Imagination. It smells good, but it really just smells soapy. Now that I think about it, does Imagination just smell like soap? I’m going to have to go smell it again. Good as a dupe. Good overall fragrance. Definitely a better value at $30 than $300+ to smell like soap.

I own a lot of colognes. A lot of dupes and some designer and this is by far my favorite fresh scent. It could be worn for any occasion. Very clean and soapy.

I bought this for my son and immediately he said this smells nothing like imagine. The box it came in was great so was the look of the cologne bottle, but does not smell like imagination.

Aqua Dubai has become my signature scent, performing exceptionally well in diverse climates. It shone during my February trip to Japan in cold, crisp weather and was equally impressive in the hot, humid Bahamas. The fragrance’s projection and longevity are remarkable in both heat and cold. Initially, Aqua Dubai opens with a sharp, slightly screechy note, but within minutes, it settles into a smooth, refined scent. The top note features a bright, green, and soapy neroli, while the dry-down reveals a clean, musky, and slightly salty ambroxan, delivering impressive longevity and projection. I’ve received numerous compliments on Aqua Dubai, which has only deepened my love for this fragrance. I’m now on my third bottle!
