What do reviewers say about Safran-Neroli and Imitation Woman?
The saffron opens bright, almost sharp, then the neroli and ylang-ylang sweep in and soften everything. Davana adds a honeyed green note that keeps it interesting.Safran-Neroli
Imitation Woman is not subtle and it does not care if that bothers you. The aldehydes give it a vintage glamour that most modern releases avoid entirely, and the licorice in the heart keeps things.Imitation Woman
