Amouage Imitation Man is a chypre leather eau de parfum from 2018, created by perfumer Leslie Girard and inspired by the subcultures of 1970s New York. Bright citron, nutmeg and black pepper open onto a heart of Turkish rose, orris and violet, then it settles into leather, vetiver, castoreum, patchouli and myrrh. Amouage no longer sells it, so samples are a good way to try it while you can. It has notes of citron, nutmeg, black pepper, rose, orris, violet, leather, vetiver, castoreum, patchouli and myrrh.
From the brand - "This chypre and leather fragrance represents an era of audacious freedom, an olfactive imitation of New York City’s subcultures in the 1970s."
Fragrantica - "This is a treat for people who enjoy unconventional perfumery. ... Imitation Man has some qualities that I’ve never smelled in any other perfume before. ..."
Fragrantica - "...Very nice, florals, light leather, kinda throwback'ish type of scent, light not overpowering, more of something you would smell in French perfumery. Don't be worried about the castoreum, it's not really animalic. ..."
Fragrantica - "...such a shame this is very interesting scent, the rose, leather, citron is really well blended. ..."
Fragrantica - "This might receive a cult status similar to that of myths man. In terms of artistry, I think they fall in the same category. A classic amouage that will be remembered!"
