Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Shanghai is Noted Aromas' UK dupe-house reading of Louis Vuitton L'Immensite (2018). The pyramid mirrors the original community pyramid closely: a top opening of bergamot, grapefruit, ginger, a heart of rosemary, juniper berries, and a base of amberwood, musk. The first hour is where the match is strongest - bergamot reads as the headline opening, with the supporting top notes lifting the edges and keeping the impression close to the original's signature accord. By the heart, rosemary comes forward as the central character, supported by the secondary heart notes that give the composition depth without overcomplicating the reference. The dry-down trades on amberwood as the anchor, with the remaining base notes adding the woody, amber or musky support that gives the dupe its lasting impression. Performance is the budget compromise wearers expect from the NA range: four to six hours of moderate sillage rather than the longer projection wearers report on the Louis Vuitton original. The character mirrors the original's intent - fresh, clean, sophisticated in feel, with the season and occasion profile tracking the reference. For wearers curious about Louis Vuitton L'Immensite before committing to the bottle, this is a faithful enough sketch. The honest caveat is the one you'd expect at the NA price point - the smoother facets and the longer dry-down nuance of the original are softened here, and the dupe reads slightly simpler and shorter-lasting than the Louis Vuitton bottle. Sits next to other budget citrus-led dupes in the dupe-house neighbourhood, while the Louis Vuitton original sits with the niche or designer peers of its launch era.
