    What do reviewers say about Imitation Man and Emerald Musk?

    This fragrance does not whisper. The leather and castoreum in the drydown will absolutely announce themselves, and the violet-iris heart can feel almost vintage in its powdery richness.Imitation Man
    This is leather-wear for people who thought they didn't like leather. The rose and orris push it somewhere powdery, the vanilla keeps it warm enough to want to lean into.Emerald Musk
