Amouage Imitation Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Leslie Girard. Imitation Man opens with Citron, Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Rose, Orris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Castoreum. Amouage's Imitation Man carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

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.

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.
