Imitation Woman in detail
Imitation Woman is an aldehydic floral by Amouage, the house founded in Muscat in 1983. The house devotes it to the cultural mix of 1970s New York and presents it as a tribute to that era. Volute files it among florals.
The official pyramid opens with a bouquet: rose, ylang-ylang, orange blossom and jasmine. The more unexpected heart gathers blackcurrant buds, aldehydes, which give a powdery sparkle, and liquorice. The base pairs incense, sandalwood and patchouli.
Imitation Woman suits spring and autumn, by day or by night; its aldehydes give it a classic feel, which liquorice and blackcurrant bring up to date. Incense and sandalwood in the base recall the house's Omani origins, beneath the New York theme.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: 51 Pour Femme by Roja Parfums shares rose, orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang and sandalwood; Elysium Absolue finds blackcurrant, rose and ylang-ylang again; Enigma Pour Femme pairs rose, jasmine and patchouli.
