Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imitation Man
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Deep Blue
This one's a divisive clone experience - some find it an affordable homage to Green Irish Tweed with a unique burnt rubber twist, while others can't see past the aggressively synthetic opening. Expect a bold fresh-spicy hit that mellows into a calm leathery iris. Not for the faint of nose.
