Imitation Woman: day or night?
It works in the day and at night.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €268. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Giorgio Beverly Hills Red and Elizabeth Taylor Passion but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Turath.
Imitation Woman longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
