About

A complex beast, Imitation Man opens with a sharp, sparkling citron and a subtle hint of nutmeg and pepper, quickly transitioning into a heart of velvety rose, powdery orris, and sweet violet. This floral bouquet is underpinned by a rich, waxy leather, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, with a surprising, non-animalic castoreum and warm myrrh. Imagine a plush, worn leather jacket draped over a fresh bunch of deep purple flowers. It's a heady, intriguing mix with significant depth and evolution.
