Amouage Imitation Eau De Parfum 100ml – A Fragrant Portrait of New York’s 1970s Elegance
Amouage Imitation for Men is a leather fragrance that encapsulates the creative chaos, emotional complexity, and bold artistry of New York City in the 1970s. Inspired by the creative director’s childhood memories of NYC, this Eau De Parfum is not just a scent — it’s a story, a memory, and a mood, wrapped in leather, smoke, and floral mystery.
Crafted for the modern gentleman who seeks more than a typical fragrance, Imitation is unapologetically artistic. It’s bold yet soft, masculine yet romantic, polished yet gritty. Like the city that inspired it, this fragrance balances contradiction and cohesion with stunning finesse.
Fragrance Composition – A Multi-Faceted Olfactory Masterpiece
Top Notes: Cedrat, Nutmeg, Black Pepper
The fragrance opens with a sharp burst of Cedrat — bright, citrusy, and slightly bitter — evoking the sharp skyline of a bustling city. It’s warmed instantly by Nutmeg, adding a cozy spice that hints at underlying sensuality. Black Pepper crackles with energy, giving the introduction a charismatic edge that feels urban and masculine.
Heart Notes: Turkish Rose, Orris, Violet
As the top notes settle, the composition blossoms into a floral heart that’s surprisingly rich and elegant. The opulence of Turkish Rose takes center stage, its velvety petals mingling with the powdery sophistication of Orris. Violet adds a delicate sweetness, giving the heart a luminous, soft-focus effect. This unexpected floral blend makes the scent feel luxurious and emotionally nuanced — like a hidden story told in shadows.
Base Notes: Myrrh, Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, Castoreum
The base is where Imitation truly defines itself. Leather dominates, rich and smooth, neither too rugged nor overly polished — it feels worn-in, lived-in, and full of depth. Myrrh brings in a resinous, slightly smoky incense character, while Vetiver and Patchouli provide earthy greenness. The addition of Castoreum, a classic note in vintage masculines, lends a raw animalic warmth that evokes the timeless elegance of bespoke jackets and velvet lounges.
A Tribute to Vintage Masculinity and Contemporary Edge
Amouage Imitation is a fragrance that walks the line between retro and modern, intimate and urban. It’s the scent of a man who appreciates old-school charm but isn’t afraid to challenge norms. Whether you’re stepping into an art gallery, enjoying a jazz lounge, or simply strolling through the city streets at dusk, this scent blends effortlessly into your narrative.
When and Where to Wear
Imitation is ideal for the cooler months — fall, winter, and early spring — when its rich layers and smoky undertones shine. It’s a versatile evening fragrance, best suited for dressed-up occasions or introspective moments where you want your scent to reflect quiet confidence and depth.
Perfect settings include:
-
Elegant dinners or gallery openings
-
Late-night rooftop events or date nights
-
Formal gatherings or classic cocktail parties
-
Daily wear for men with refined taste and artistic flair
Performance – Projection, Longevity, and Sillage
As with most Amouage creations, Imitation boasts impressive longevity, easily lasting 8 to 10 hours on the skin. The projection is moderate, not overpowering but enough to create a steady presence in the air around you. The sillage is sophisticated — it leaves a trace of memory without overwhelming those nearby.
This is not a loud fragrance — it is confident in its restraint, designed for men who understand that elegance is often quiet.
Packaging – Artistic Expression in a Bottle
The bottle design of Amouage Imitation mirrors the vibrant and expressive soul of the 1970s. The deep, smoky hues and brushstroke-style artwork reflect a time when the lines between fashion, identity, and art were being redrawn. It is a collector-worthy presentation that perfectly matches the scent’s emotional resonance.
