Imitation Woman Amouage 2018

"And now, out into the night and after the adventure." whispers this incredibly mysterious fragrance to all interested parties and wearers. According to the creator Christopher Chang, it is meant to reflect the exuberant multicultural era of the 70s and capture the glowing energy that prevailed in his hometown of New York.
It was inspired by the wild happenings at the legendary Studio 54, where diverse lifestyles and cultures collided. A new disco revolution was brought to life.
We are dealing here with a timeless, colorful, demanding, and multifaceted fragrance. Its character is dazzling, yet not transparent and easy to handle; nevertheless, it captivates everyone around with its mystically wicked aura and playful provocation.
"Imitation Woman" starts with a initially zesty, refreshing tart blackcurrant, which, however, gains more ripeness and depth over time, becoming sweeter and fuller-bodied, like blood-red ripe wine, ripe fruit, and carries a veil of magical eroticism through fine licorice nuances, thus appearing directly as an insatiable seductress. Delicate white flowers skillfully sneak in, ensuring that the fragrance remains interesting and does not drift into the ordinary. Aldehydes evoke 70s associations and the typical vintage touch, without coming off as old-fashioned or dusty.
Sandalwood brings to mind wooden furniture from the 70s. Patchouli and incense rekindle memories of hippie incense sticks, old club chairs, worn leather sofas, smoke clouds, spilled mixed drinks in rundown discos, where people celebrated exuberantly and unrestrained until dawn.
Rarely have I smelled such an exciting and thrilling fragrance that cannot be compared to any other. The fragrance veil makes the wearer appear even more mysterious and ensures "head-turner" moments.
Definitely not for everyone and clearly intended for the evening/night (the moon is on your side;) ) and not for every day.
For me, it is also absolutely unisex, and just as erotic and attractive on a man.
