Imitation Woman Amouage 2018

Imitation Woman is giddy, almost unhinged genius, like a virtuoso jazz performance. This fragrance is composed of notes that ought to be discordant but work together beautifully. The opening is all orange blossom and candy ylang ylang. Then blackcurrant, powdery soapiness, and black licorice make strange and lovely harmony. Then in creep the sandalwood, frankincense, and patchouli. The top and heart notes continue to flicker off and on over the base. I have so far found many Amouage fragrances easy to love, and despite her strangeness, Imitation Woman is one of them. Fascinating and easy to love. Wowza.
