This is extremely similar to imagination in the dry down, and very close in the opening. There are slight differences, one being that Ard opens more citrus-heavy, but I honestly couldn't tell you any other besides that. You can notice a small difference when smelling them beside each other on paper, on skin, that difference becomes even more subtle, and in the air after a few minutes, it smells the same to me. For most people, this is a close enough dupe, and at the very least is a solid fragrance to own within the scent profile. If you are a hardcore imagination fan, you may notice more differences than I do.
