A World-Exclusive Luxury Citrus Fragrance — Now in India | Sparkling Bergamot, Ginger & Black Tea with Warm Ambroxan | From ₹99
Starting from ₹99
Imagine is a luminously fresh, sophisticated, and deeply elegant men's fragrance inspired by one of the world's most exclusive luxury fragrances — a composition available only in a handful of boutiques globally and priced at over ₹27,000 for 100ml.
Sparkling Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian citron, and orange open like sunlight on the Mediterranean coast. Nigerian ginger, Tunisian neroli, and Ceylon cinnamon bloom in the warm, spiced heart. Chinese black tea, ambroxan, guaiac wood, and olibanum create an extraordinary dry-down — luminous, warm, and deeply sophisticated.
For the man who carries the spirit of first-class travel — wherever life takes him.
Fragrance Profile — Notes & DNA
Citron, Calabrian Bergamot & Sicilian Orange — The opening is a masterpiece of citrus brightness. Sicilian citron arrives first — crisp, green, and electrifyingly fresh. Calabrian bergamot adds a slightly floral citrus warmth, widely considered the finest bergamot in the world. Sicilian orange brings a juicy, sun-drenched sweetness. Together they create an opening that literally sparkles on skin — like sunlight dancing on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. This is a citrus opening that goes far beyond ordinary — it is a statement of luxury and precision.
Tunisian Neroli, Nigerian Ginger & Ceylon Cinnamon — The heart is where Imagine reveals its extraordinary sophistication. Tunisian neroli — considered the finest in the world — adds a luminous, slightly honeyed floral brightness that bridges the citrus top beautifully. Nigerian ginger provides a warm, slightly peppery aromatic depth. Ceylon cinnamon — the most refined cinnamon variety — adds a clean, woody spice that gives Imagine its distinctive character. This heart transforms a sparkling citrus into something far more complex and refined — the kind of transition that justifies the word "luxury."
Chinese Black Tea, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood & Olibanum (Frankincense) — The dry-down is what makes Imagine truly extraordinary. Chinese black tea — extracted using CO2 to preserve its aromatic soul — adds a refined, slightly smoky elegance. Ambroxan, described as "perfumery's white gold," provides a warm, skin-close luminosity that transforms everything it touches. Guaiac wood adds a soft, creamy woody depth. Olibanum (frankincense) brings a quietly spiritual, slightly meditative warmth. Together they create a dry-down that is warm, intimate, and deeply compelling — lasting far longer than most citrus fragrances dare.
Why Nikhil Singhal Created Imagine
When Nikhil Singhal set out to create Imagine for World of Perfumers, he was working with one of perfumery's most technically demanding and philosophically compelling briefs: capture the DNA of one of the world's most exclusive luxury fragrances — a composition that redefined the citrus aromatic genre in 2021 and is sold only through a handful of boutiques globally at over ₹27,000 for 100ml — and make it accessible to every Indian man from just ₹99.
Nikhil Singhal is the founder and master perfumer of World of Perfumers — India's finest destination for inspired luxury fragrances. Trained in Dubai and drawing on fragrance oils sourced from Dubai, France, and Switzerland, his philosophy with Imagine was deeply personal: that the world's most luminous, most travel-inspired luxury citrus fragrance should not be the exclusive privilege of those who can access a flagship boutique in Delhi or Mumbai or afford ₹27,000 for a single bottle. A man in Indore, Chandigarh, Kochi, or Ranchi deserves the same bergamot-ginger-black tea-ambroxan luminosity that the fragrance world calls "artistically excellent" — from just ₹99.
With Imagine, Nikhil faced the central technical challenge of the citrus aromatic category: longevity. Citrus fragrances are notoriously difficult to anchor on skin — the top notes that make them so immediately appealing are the very notes that evaporate fastest. The solution in the original composition was an unprecedented dose of Ambroxan — "perfumery's white gold" — which creates a warm, skin-close luminosity that physically holds the lighter citrus molecules on skin far longer than they would naturally persist. Recreating that ambroxan foundation correctly, calibrating it against the CO2-extracted black tea accord and the Tunisian neroli heart, requires both precision and quality of raw materials.
Nikhil sourced the ambroxan, black tea, and neroli accords from the highest-quality imported fragrance oil suppliers available — the same Dubai, France, and Switzerland sources that underpin every World of Perfumers composition — and calibrated every element of Imagine's architecture to ensure that every bottle delivers the full sparkling-citrus-to-warm-ambroxan journey that makes this composition genuinely extraordinary.
Every bottle of Imagine that leaves the World of Perfumers workshop carries that intention: to give every Indian man the fragrance of first-class luxury, effortless sophistication, and luminous presence — from just ₹99.
Imagine is not just an inspired fragrance. It is Nikhil Singhal's belief — made wearable — that every Indian man deserves to carry the world with him wherever he goes.

FAQs — Imagine Perfume
Imagine by World of Perfumers is inspired by one of the world's most exclusive luxury citrus fragrances — a composition launched in 2021 by one of France's greatest fashion houses, sold only in a handful of boutiques globally at over ₹27,000 for 100ml. It captures the same iconic bergamot-neroli-black tea-ambroxan DNA at a fraction of the price. Made in India with imported oils from Dubai, France, and Switzerland.
Ambroxan is one of the most sought-after ingredients in modern perfumery — often called "perfumery's white gold." It is a synthetic recreation of ambergris, providing a warm, skin-close luminosity that makes fragrances smell simultaneously clean and sensual. In the original composition that inspired Imagine, an unprecedented dose of Ambroxan was used — giving the fragrance its extraordinary staying power and warm, skin-close trail that defies the typical performance of citrus fragrances.
Yes — Imagine is one of our finest summer fragrances. The sparkling bergamot and citron opening feels genuinely refreshing and uplifting in warm weather. Unlike heavy oriental fragrances that can feel oppressive in heat, Imagine's citrus-tea character remains light and invigorating. It is best suited for spring, early summer, and any air-conditioned environment throughout the year.
Imagine lasts approximately 7–10 hours on skin — exceptional for a citrus-based fragrance, thanks to the ambroxan base which anchors the lighter top notes beautifully. On clothing, it can last significantly longer. Apply to moisturised pulse points — wrists, neck, and inner elbows — for maximum longevity. The black tea and ambroxan base creates a warm skin-scent that persists long after the sparkling citrus top has evolved.
Imagine is available as a Perfume (100ml, 50ml, 30ml, 10ml) and Roll-On (8ml) — all starting from ₹99. The 10ml spray is ideal for exploring the full scent journey before committing to a larger bottle. The 8ml roll-on is perfect for travel and daily carry. The 100ml bottle represents the best value for those who make Imagine their signature fragrance.
Imagine is our single most prestigious gifting fragrance — inspired by a world-exclusive luxury composition available only in boutiques at ₹27,000+.
