What do reviewers say about Imitation Man and Regio?
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
Lavender gets a bad reputation from stuff that's been sitting in a drawer since 1997. This version is the correction, citrus-bright, carnation-spiked, with a vanilla drydown that keeps it warm.Regio
