    Real talk

    The passion fruit is either the best thing about this or too much, depending on who you ask. It's the divisive choice. If you're going to love it, you're going to love what the perfumer did here.Chic Shaik No 30
    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
