Amouage Imitation Woman

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on ylang-ylang, orange blossom and jasmine, moves through black currant, aldehydes and licorice, and settles on incense, patchouli and sandalwood.

• ylang-ylang: rich yellow flower, sweet and faintly banana-like with a creamy finish
• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
