Imaginary Authors

IMAGINARY AUTHORS - AUSTRALIA

Imaginary Authors front the storytelling dimensions of fragrance, who scents tales told in vignettes and evocative passages. This gives the wearer something to track, as their mind’s eye is filled with a story and the fragrance furnishes the details - or perhaps the story furnishes the fragrance. American perfumer Joshua Meyer imagines characters of great personality: intrepid explorers, dashing rogues, firebugs, firebrands, pilots, and simply - people with their own idiosyncrasies and life stories. Meyer captures the charm of a certain Americana, with settings across Californian valleys, Princeton University, pre-Miami Vice Florida, the Pacific Northwest, as well as small towns in Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas Hill Country.

This is the joy of Imaginary Authors. Like a good book, these scents are meant to inspire you. In these bottles are layered narratives that are sure to generate stirring conversation, fragrances that might be capable of changing the course of your own personal story. They not only invigorate and intoxicate, but also take you to new places. Each Imaginary Authors fragrance follows a compelling storyline peppered with intriguing twists.
