In this video I am reviewing a recent addition to my perfume collection, from the house of Amouage; "Imitation Woman". I fell in love with this fragrance from the moment I put my nose on it. A 2018 release from the house, Imitation Woman opens up with a blast of creamy, and aldehydic, florals that are perfectly blended with the dark, tart and fruity aspect of the fragrance. The tart berry-like fruitiness in here comes from the black current bud note. This beautiful opening, that is a throw back to the fragrances of the 80s, is then met with a syrupy licorice note for an enjoyable olfactory experience that lasts on skin for hours. The fragrance dries down to somewhat of a dusty floral/fruity fragrance, with the continued presence of licorice, and a mildly mossy base created by the patchouli in here. This fruity/floral chypre fragrance is another wonderful hidden gem from the house of Amoauge.

Eloïse I love all your reviews. Your voice is so calming too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! I am glad you are enjoying the reviews. Thank you for watching :)
Great review. Described Imitation Woman to a tee. Reminds me of an 80s nightclub draped in black velvet. A true hidden gem. PS. A male that has it going on can wear this with ease.
I agree thats it a hidden gem. Its not really talked about much and its unique and beautiful. I like that description: an 80s nighclub with velvet drapes!!! Gorgeous :) Yes, I can see a guy wearing this !!
I just found you and I find your reviews very thorough and concise. Thank you for you content!❤
Thank you!! Glad you are enjoying the content :)
Amouage is definitely one of my most loved houses. Have not got my nose on this one but it is now on my list to try. Thank you as always for the great review, always enjoy your thoughts.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind words :)
Great review. Older Amouage frags are some of the best ever created
I love them! Thanks for watching :)
I just love how detailed your reviews are!!! I need to explore amorage
Thank you!! Yes, Amouage is a house to be explored I think:)
Thank you. Wearing it today for the first time. Love your reviews
Thats great! I hope you enjoyed wearing it and thank you for watching :)
Thanks Eloise! It's a great feeling when you introduce a fragrance to someone with no expectations & they end up buying a bottle😁 I only have Sunshine from Amouge but I'd like to sample more.
I recently purchased sunshine woman. I like it ALOT!!!! Thanks for watching :)
Wow! A superb review! 💜
Thank you! I appreciate the comment :)
Thanks for another great review Eloise ! I too love imitation and find it enchanting 😊 will be curious to on your thoughts on the library collection
The new library collection? I saw a set of samples and I should have purchased it. I have been curious myself !! I will try and thanks for watching :)
I just joined your channel. I need to experience this scent. Thank you for a detailed and beautiful review.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)
Memoir, Imitation and Lyric are my faves. Although I must admit that I pretty like Love Delight. It wasn’t love at first sniff/wearing, but the more I hang with it the more I like it. Can’t compare it to those 3 but I enjoy it. Sunshine is another example. Imitation is crazy good 💜
Love this review 🖤
Thanks for watching!
Hi Eloise - watching and testing Imitation on skin for the first time from a travel decant. Wow 😮 you described this so well. Yes floral and fruity….but yes also dark. Each time I lift my wrist I get something different. To me, this is what old money wealth would smell like (not that I’d really know 🤷♀️)
Really !? I hope you are enjoying it. I think its so great!! I agree, its like some different part of the fragrance comes off the skin as you move around :)
This is a gorgeous scent. Reminds me of a very niche MJ Decadence. I pick up a lot of pear and the florals.
I agree. Its beautiful!!! I love it.
Imitation is my miracle sparkle water ✨
Hi! I have just discovered your channel and this review is amazing, top quality review, detailed and it makes you imagine the fragrante. I know Imitation W, but do you think it has been reformulated some year after 2018? Because I had 2 samples dated 2018 but the fragrance in the new bottles seems different… Thanks for your attention!
Thank you for watching!!! I actually don't know if this has been reformulated. So you find that the one from the bottle is different from the 2018 samples??? Thats interesting. Which is "better" to you?
I need to revisit this one Tfs
I live Amouage one of my fav houses, definitely more from the releases before me Chung leaving the brand. And imitation woman is on my top 5 of Amouage, not for the faint of hearts, and not something that you may find on the modern niche frags!! A bewitching scent !!
Exactly. Its bewitching. So is Memoire Woman and I just got Lyric woman which is so beautiful too :)
Amouage Material is my all-time favourite fragrance and Jubilation XXV is a close second. Just wish they didn't evolve into skin-scents quite so quickly. I look forward to putting a nose on this one. I don't really buy-into gender characterizations in fragrance, believing the distinction to be more a marketing ploy than anything. But I do draw the line at smelling like a garden. You are obviously enamored of this one. It's a joy to find one you love.
I love both of those. Could it be that you think it turns into a skin scent? because sometimes we don't realize that we still smell great and people around us can smell it!! I need to use Material more actually :)
I’d love to know your thoughts on Journey Woman
I actually had it for a short time. I really liked it but found some issues with performance but maybe I will look into a decant of it as sometimes frags work out after a re-visit :)
@Eloisescents0309 I also really like it but atrocious performance. Very disappointing for an Amouage.
@@Yaa2024 For journey woman right? Yes, It was such a let down because I like the scent profile. I did recently get Lyric Woman!
Thank you for your review. Have you tried Opus V?
NO I recently got a bottle of the library collection Opus I (the original bottle). Do you mean the older bottle of OPus V?
@ yes, I’m thinking about library collection- opus v (old 0r new packaging). But I haven’t tried it…
You are correct about the older ones I own too many lol
me too!!! :) I love so many of them!
There were aspects of Imitation W that I loved and couldn't get enough of, but there were also facets that smelled very wrong to me, made me feel like I did not match it.
I can totally see that. Thats the way fragrances go...its all so subjective.
Have you tried ashore or sunshine? Would love to know your thoughts x
I own sunshine woman! I love it and I will share my thoughts. Ashore I have not tried although I looked at it several times. Do you like it?
@Eloisescents0309 omg you have to try or sample if you love the older fragrances, it's so underrated. Thanks for your review x
@@roxyo8477 I do like the older fragrances. Ok I will look into it. Thank you for suggesting :)
Love Sunshine woman that tobacco is 🧡🧡🧡❤️🔥
Good
❤
Hi
How would it look like on a man?
I think its great on a man or a woman but I would test it because each person has a different idea on that. I love this one though!!
Eloise I think you talked me into finding an amazing dark berry 🫐 jam ❤
I am glad to hear I am persuasive :) Thanks for watching!!
