"Wooow what is that?" in a bottle..
In this review, it's really hard for me to describe the fragrance as it's very complex.
When I first smelled it in the perfumery, I was immediately really intrigued by it.
It was in 2018 (year of release)
As soon as I entered a small (niche) store, I saw this neon-colored bottle, which the saleswoman immediately pointed out ("this is the new creation from Amouage")
First spray on the blotter, then on the back of the hand...
"Whoaaah, whats that?"
I found it really difficult to identify the scent notes of this perfume. It was fruity, but not in the traditional sense. It smelled leathery, but not in the animalistic sense. It smelled rosy, but also suitable for men. It reminded me of fragrances from the 80s but still contemporary. It definitely smelled classy and unusual!
I immediately perceived Imitation as multi-faceted and full of "harmonious contradictions".
So I still find it difficult to categorize it; probably because in my limbic olfactory library (=olfactive emotional memory) it is an unparalleled pioneer of a new style!?
And that's exactly what continues to make it so interesting.
A truly (abstract) avant-garde creation and therefore has a very distinctive unique selling point.
About 3-4 years later, I finally bought Imitation and don't regret it for a second. It still smells as captivating as the first time I smelled it.
It goes through several stages, it has a story to tell...
MMn you should spend more time with perfumes of different categories (both designer and niche) before sniffing it, so that it can at least be "felt", because this is definitely not a 0815 fragrance -> not a blind buy
Conclusion: The fragrance is truly an adventurous olfactory journey from opening to drydown
(Be it as a perfume in which the public participates VS. only for the wearer himself)
