Imitation Man is a divisive but highly respected artistic fragrance that appeals strongly to niche collectors and iris/rose lovers, though its unique floral composition doesn't work for everyone. The recent discontinuation has created regret among fans who appreciate its sophisticated subtlety and unusual character, though critics find the candy-like opening and clashing florals off-putting.
