These are both what to be said as some of the best alternatives to LV Imagination (apart from Hectic but that's unavailable in most countries) so I got both of them and put them to the test side by side.
Arabiyat Prestige Marwa
This is a much more spicy version of Imagination, the opening caught me off guard from how much more gingery that opening is, but once it dries down it smells super simelar to the opening of imagination. It's a really easy reach and does the luxury soap and ginger smell really well.
After 1-2 months of macerating this still doesn't perform that well as it has maybe 3-5 hours of moderately weak projection, but we'll see if this gets better as it matures.
Smell: 9/10
Closeness: 85%
Performance: 5/10
Overall: 8/10
Hawas Kobra
This is more of a twist in that it doesn't smell as similar to Imagination, but still is a soapy tea scent with a lot more added musk. The musk makes it smell a little bit more salty, but it still smells clean nonetheless. This performs like crazy and I could use this everyday. People say they can't smell the tea but I think it's pretty prominent in the first 2-4 hours (good thing).
Smell 8/10
Closeness 60%
Performance 9.5/10
Overall 8/10
Final thoughts
They're both soso dupes of Imagination that scratch that itch for a lot cheaper. If you want performance and to wear it everyday and don't mind musk get Kobra but if you want a closer dupe for it to perform worse then get Marwa.
