Imitation Woman

by Pierre Negrin

Amouage Imitation Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Pierre Negrin. The fragrance opens with Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant, Aldehydes, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Incense, and Sandalwood.

Our verdict on Imitation Woman: Acquired

Divisive and unapologetically bold, Imitation Woman is for those who dare. Its opening can be a shock, but the payoff is a unique, shapeshifting ride from tart fruit to deep, smoky elegance. Not a blind buy, but essential for niche lovers.

Given its beastly performance and strong projection, this scent is not ideal for the office, where it could overwhelm. Its complex, dark, and sensual character makes it perfectly suited for dates and formal events, while its unique profile could also work for casual outings if applied sparingly.

About

Imitation Woman delivers a vibrant, almost electric opening of zesty blackcurrant and bright aldehydes, immediately commanding attention. This lively start soon settles into a rich, complex floral heart where the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang and delicate rose mingle with a subtle, intriguing hint of licorice. As it deepens, a sophisticated base of smoky incense, earthy patchouli, and warm sandalwood emerges, providing a grounding, mysterious anchor that lingers beautifully.
