Ginger, lemon, bergamot and orange open Inception by Mykonos, before black tea, cinnamon and neroli shape the heart. Cedarwood, musk, guaiac wood and lorenox sit underneath, so the bright start settles into a dry, woody finish.
The opening is ginger and citrus together. Lemon and bergamot give the sharp lift you get from peeling an orange, orange softens it, and ginger adds a peppery bite from the first spray. This is the brightest stretch, in the first half hour or so.
Black tea is the main note in the heart and gives a dry, slightly tannic edge, with neroli adding a clean orange-blossom lift and a little cinnamon warmth behind it. The base is where it settles for the rest of the day: cedarwood and guaiac wood bring a dry woodiness, while musk and lorenox keep the finish clean and soft.
Inception is frequently compared to Imagination by Louis Vuitton - it shares the bright citrus opening and the clean, woody arc. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if Imagination's shape appeals to you, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Al Haramain Amber Oud Aqua Dubai Eau de Parfum 100ml and Khadlaj Karus Blu Spice Eau de Parfum 100ml are both in stock.
FG Perfumes sells Inception online with delivery across South Africa, and in its three stores. Browse more from Mykonos, or other Citrus Perfumes.
Mykonos Inception, 100ml Extrait de Parfum is a 2025 release in the Mykonos range, built around citrus with black tea giving it a drier, more aromatic character.

Anyone who likes a clean, citrus-led scent with bright spice and a soft woody finish, for daytime and warmer months, will reach for Inception.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Mykonos is an Indonesian fragrance brand. It makes eaux de parfum and extraits de parfum.
