Which Should You Buy?
Imitation Man is a divisive, artistic masterpiece that balances a surprising sweetness with a sophisticated leather and floral core. Not everyone gets it, but those who do are utterly captivated. Expect a bold statement, not a crowd-pleaser.
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.
