Is this fragrance suitable for a professional office environment?+−
While it is sophisticated, Imitation Man leans toward the bold and artistic. Because of the leather and castoreum notes, it is generally better suited for formal evening events or creative leisure settings rather than a conservative business office.
How does the leather note in this compare to other fragrances?+−
The leather here is described as a "suede" or "vintage" style rather than a fresh car seat. It is heavily influenced by the powdery violet and iris, giving it a soft, smoky, and slightly waxy texture.
Can this be worn in the summertime?+−
Digital community feedback suggests it is least popular in the summer. The weight of the myrrh, patchouli, and leather can become quite dense and "hazy" in high heat, making it much more effective in the crisp air of spring, fall, or winter.
Is this considered a unisex fragrance?+−
Although marketed for men, the significant presence of iris, violet, and rose makes it appealing to fans of floral leathers regardless of gender. Many enthusiasts note it has a "dandy" quality that crosses traditional gender lines.
