What do reviewers say about Imitation Man and Horizon?
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
Not a statement fragrance. Horizon is the one you reach for when you don't need anyone to know you're wearing anything at all. It keeps to itself, offering intimate warmth in the drydown that stays.Horizon
