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.
Strengths
- Unique rose and violet composition with artistic quality
- Subtle and sophisticated despite being a 'loud fragrance that whispers'
- Interesting spicy and leather development over time
- Distinctive iris/violet note praised by fans of the note
Weaknesses
- Highly divisive with significant disagreements among users
- Powdery/chalky opening with candy-like aspects not appealing to everyone
- Floral notes can clash and turn sour for some wearers
- Now discontinued, making it hard to find or replace
