Imitation Man
EDPMen
The Story
Imitation Man is a bold, leathery chypre that challenges conventions. It opens with a sharp burst of aldehydes and pink pepper, then settles into a rich heart of leather and orris. The base is a smoky blend of vetiver, oakmoss, and castoreum, giving it a dark, animalic edge. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate complexity and aren't afraid to stand out.
