    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.

    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 !!

    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 💜

    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 🤷‍♀️)

    • @Eloisescents0309
      @Eloisescents0309  7 днів тому +1

    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!

    • @Eloisescents0309
      @Eloisescents0309  7 днів тому

      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 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 !!

    • @Eloisescents0309
      @Eloisescents0309  7 днів тому

    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.

    • @Eloisescents0309
      @Eloisescents0309  11 днів тому +1

      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 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 :)
