Excellent review! I only just got my nose on this house about a month ago when I ordered an 8-sample box. My first bottle from the house arrived this week with some more samples I ordered. Here's how it stacks up for me... First the ones I think are bottle worthy… Falling into the Sea - This was one of the samples I picked to try when I ordered the box of eight, and it was my favorite. As of this week, a bottle is sitting on my shelf. To my nose, a fragrance can’t be better blended than this one. It’s a king among citrus frags. Cape Heartache - gorgeous and unique. This wasn’t part of my original set of samples but I ordered a sample when I ordered my bottle of Falling into the Sea. I passed the first time because I saw it had a strawberry note, I really thought the strawberry would make it lean too feminine but this is a gorgeous frag and I’ll be buying a bottle of this soon. Saint Julep - I typically don’t care for mint frags but this mint is so smooth and not at all piercing, perhaps because it’s blended so perfectly with the tangerine. This is another bottle that will find its way to me before too long. Sundrunk - The neroli is a nicer neroli than I’m used to smelling. The orange zest comes through for me also and it’s a nice combination. This might be bottle worthy but I haven’t worn the sample yet. I'm not sure it's different enough from some of my other frags to warrant buying a bottle but it might happen. This is really nice. The Soft Lawn - It’s a lovely green frag but reminds me enough of Green Irish Tweed that I can’t see a reason to own both. If I didn’t already own GIT, I’d buy this. Nice, but not really for me…. O, Unknown! - It’s a lovely authentic black tea note that reminds me of going out to Chinese restaurants as a kid and drinking black tea out of those small handle-less teacups. I enjoy the nostalgia this brings but I’m not sure I want to smell like black tea. Telegrams - It’s not a listed note but what I get from this one is pancake syrup. I’m not sure what notes on the list are combining to create that but that’s all I’m getting from this. It’s nice, but pancake syrup isn’t my jam. A Whiff of Waffle Cone - it smells delicious but I’m not one for gourmand frags. I don't mind them on others; they're just not for me. The hard passes… Yesterday Haze - Fig frags usually come across as too feminine for me and this is no exception. Memoirs of a Tresspasser - the vanilla is nice but there’s a note I don’t like that ruins it for me. I'm not sure what that note is but it's more prevalent in the opening. Every Storm a Serenade - I’m not a fan or eucalyptus as a note. It’s too medicinal for my taste. A City on Fire - When I was 16, I watched our house burn down so these kinds of scents don’t bring memories of camping or cookouts, they bring me back to that time when my family had our lives turned upside down. I can’t imagine wanting to smell like this.
Thanks for reviewing these! My targeted ads have been featuring them for a while. Sundrunk and Falling into the Sea sound like the first two I should try.
Very nice review!!! My favorites were Yesterday Haze, Cape Heartache, Memoirs of a Tresspasser, and Falling Into the Sea. In Yesterday Haze, the little "imaginary story" the scent is built around makes mention of the California agricultural valley floor, and the dusty orchards and hot sunny days and ripening fig. I grew up in that part of the state and the scent is SPOT ON for a kind of sunny, dusty, sweet, creamy scent that also definitely reflects the walnut note - I also grew up near walnut and almond orchards, so that's a scent I know well. There's something else in that scent, I guess an imaginary note just for me, but it smells a little bit like older car upholstery? But not in a bad way - like the comforting, velvety upholstery of an older vehicle. All those things came together to remind me EXACTLY of driving through ripening orchards in the hot summer time with my grandparents, drinking a cream soda and eating local honey and nuts and figs. I was FLOORED by how nostalgic that scent was for me, so I bought it immediately!! Interestingly, I'll also add, I actually DO smell the "warm sand" note in Falling Into the Sea - that's what I love about it. Once the strong lychee top notes fade, I mostly smell sunscreen and somehow the smell of the hot sand sticking to the buttery sunscreen on the beach. Such a vacation scent - super cool!
Loved it!! Definitely saving this one to come back to, since I really want to try a bunch from them. I’ve only smelled Whiff of Waffle Cone and loved it, I think I would love Memoirs and maybe Sundrunk!
Great review! Been thinking about ordering a discovery set for a while. I think my most favorite is going to be Telegrama but all of them are pretty interesting.
Great video! I appreciate your concise explanation of each fragrance. I’ve got about 23 bottles of designer fragrances and have recently started sampling niche fragrances. I just ordered their sample set and am looking forward to trying The Soft Lawn because I love green fragrances and Cape Heartache sounds very interesting too.
Haven't tried any from this house. Very unique fragrances, love the packaging. Several of these sound interesting. Saint Julep, Memoirs of a Trespasser, Whiff of Wafflecone sounds yummy. Thank you for reviewing.
Really enjoyed this countdown of imaginary authors, I’m a big fan of Falling into the sea 🌊 in the summer months. Love the cute hoodie and lippie match up.
Such a helpful video 💕 I have only tried a sample of Memoirs of a Trespasser, and I thought the dry down especially was really nice! I love the packaging so much, and the idea of imaginary notes.
This line seems very interesting and whimsical. I'm sure I have a sample of Memoirs of a Trespasser and I need to find it and sniff again. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
Nice review Tara. Your list is similar to mine...I really struggle with Bulls Blood and A City on Fire. Yesterday Haze is my fave and is one of my favorites in my entire collection. Their Violet Disguise was beautiful as well.
This was a great video. I’ve tried most of the fragrances from the line and my favorites include Memoirs of a Trespasser and Saint Julep. I also like Whispered Myths and Yesterday Haze.
Love imaginary authors! Thanks for the great house overview- I am with you on my# 1- also memoirs, which is so beautiful. I like slow explosions and city on fire on my husband, and cape heartache, sun drunk, and whispered myths are on my buy list.
Hi Tara, great video. My favorite is Every Storm a Serenade-I’m addicted to it. And FYI it’s orchard dust in Yesterday Haze. Love that one too. St. Julep is very nice but doesn’t last on me. One of my favorite houses.
I have only sampled whiff of waffle cone and I was interested in it mostly because I love Salt n’ Straw ice creamery, who the scent is based on. After watching your video I am excited to try your top 2, Memoirs of a trespasser and Saint Julep. They both sound wonderful!
Hi! Thank you for the giveaway! I haven't had the chance to try Imaginary Authors but I really want to!! I'm most interested in Memoirs of a trespasser or Telegrama.
I recently tried the entire line so this is incredibly interesting to see how people's tastes are similar and how they differ , bulls blood was my favourite 🤣
I’d love to try Yesterday’s Haze. I was going to buy the sampler for my aunt this past holiday, but with the imaginary scents, I didn’t because I didn’t to get her something she might not like. But, I’ve been considering getting a sampler for myself to see first hand and find a scent that she will like for this year’s holiday! I got so excited to see this video and here your first hand account
Love your jazzy bluesy intro! Haven’t tried any Imaginary Authors yet... but as an old schoolmarm, of course I love the name!! My oldest is a total bookworm and is in law school so this is a must to check out now... she would LOVE the book packaging! I probably am most drawn to your favorite as I’m a vanilla freak... just can’t get enough! I’m assuming you’re talking about funnel cakes as the note you can’t get along with... but I’m intrigued by the word you are using as it’s unfamiliar to me... which I love so now I have to go look it up! Thank you for sharing your time and beautiful hobby with us, and thank you for answering the high calling to teach the next generation ❤️!
Yesterday Haze and Slow Explosions sounds like a couple I would love to sample based on the notes you described. I haven't tried any of the Imaginary Authors. Seems like they have a lot to offer. Your number 2 is also intriguing to sample. Thanks for sharing.
I have not tried IA, but I'm interested. I've been loving fig lately, so maybe Yesterday Haze, but I've also been into mint lately, too, and with summer (and yes, mojitos) coming, I'm leaning more Saint Julep. Thanks for the overview!
I would love to try memoirs of a tresspassor and whispers myths. Yesterday’s haze looks pretty cool also. Thank you for the giveaway. The video was amazing and I’ve tried sundrunk.
Hi Tara, I got a sample of slow explosion, you discribe that thing to the exact, I also samples M of a T, and I do like it, it deserves the #1 spot.🤭 Great content.
I haven’t tried any fragrances from Imaginary Authors yet but its a house i would like to explore. From the notes and your description Yesterday Haze and O, Unknown sound up my alley. The names and packaging are really unique which I like 😀
@@Olfactofiles I've been considering the short stories and I'll need to add a waffle cone sample (and I want to try the Kerosene sampler to compare it) Which I know in two recent videos isn't your thing but it might be exactly mine! haha 🤭 Count me in for the giveaway this is on my to-get list! 😃
Thanks for the video, Tara! I have not tried anything from this house yet, but you have really piqued my interest. I especially want to try Saint Julep, Sundrunk, Memoirs of a Trespasser and, A Whiff of Wafflecone (I love Unkown Pleasures and I'm curious to see how it compares), I own Unknown Pleasures so I probably wouldn't purchase the IA fragrance, but you never know! I have to order a sample pack and check them out. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
I had never heard of Imaginary Authors before, but all of their perfumes sound so intriguing! Their packaging is very creative and I particularly enjoyed learning the fun names they give their fragrances. I would love to enter the giveaway. I'd love to try any of their fragrances but Sundrunk sounds the most appealing (the name... I need sun. I am ready for winter to be over ).
Hey Tara, really enjoyed this countdown list xxx I was waiting for Every Storm a Serenade to pop up, as it's the only one I've had my eye on, but alas. . . no show. Lol I did enjoy Telegrama too 👍. Love all the story concepts and imaginary notes. Xxx
I haven’t tried them, but I was debating trying “yesterday haze” and most excited about that one! I just decided not to this time because perfume samples can add up in price too ☹️ and I was a little worried that one might be too Powdery for me?? Otherwise I was also curious about “memoirs of a trespasser” !!! I love their bottle designs and concept though so I hope they keep doing more scents and maybe release a few more a little more wearable?? I love that this line and maison Margiela do the whole “mood/memory” idea !! Thank you for doing this giveaway!!
I haven't tried any Imaginary Authors yet but have some on my wish list. The first that I want to try is Slow Explosions. The notes sound like something I would like and the story with it is about Goa, one of my favorite places in the world.
I need to explore this house more. I've tried just Saint Julep, and I love it. The only trouble is that I always want to drink mojitos when wearing this 😆
I've never smelled an Imaginary Authors fragrances. A couple sound really interesting but I'm most intrigued by O, Unknown because of the tea note. I'm also very curious about Memoirs of a Trespasser strictly for the name alone.
Haven't tried this house yet but it's on my list. I've wanted to try MOAT for a while and I would say Saint Julep and Cape Heartache round out my three that I must sample.
I've been intrigued by this line for awhile. I've seen a few reviews from friends, but I've never gone ahead and ordered. I think A Whiff of Waffle Cone would probably be my favorite to try. I also really want to test Sundrunk though.
Just how many mojitos are you drinking Tara??? 🥴 🤣 🌿 Nothing like a fresh leaf from the garden though. Cape Heartache still my fav by Memoirs is a close second. Kinda wish Sundrunk had a rhubarb closer to Jo's Rhubarb from Zara. Been layering with that one quite a bit lately.
I currently have a city on Fire. I will wear it out of the house. I have Velvet Haze and it is not strong enough for me. I am interested in Memories of a Tresspasser. Thanks
Cape heartache is an all time favorite of mine. also love falling into the sea, yesterday haze, and memoirs of a trespasser. Fox in the flowerbed is SO GOOD and VERY different for this house. I’ve been wearing that a lot. Unfortunately I cannot stand whiff of waffle cone. Waaaaay too sweet- immediate headache-and I actually usually love sweet fragrances.
Hi Tara! I’m interested in trying Wiff of a Wafflecone ! I have seen several RUclipsrs de clutter this scent , but I’m still very interested in it! I’m a gourmand lover ! I wish the rest of my frag lover friends on here luck !!! ❤️
I bought the sample set and was wholly unimpressed. Love you, glad to see this video, but as a house, Imaginary Authors is great at marketing. Memoirs of a Trespasser was the only sample I somewhat enjoyed, but overall, I thought the scents were unimaginative. Kerosene, on the other hand, I am loving.
Thanks Tara! Of what I tried, I only liked Slow Explosions, but not sure I'd get a full bottle. I wanted to like Cape Heartache, but I didn't like the strawberry in it, it was too noticeable for me to look over it. Unfortunately, for how well it's talked about I didn't really connect with any as much as everyone else seems too. Still want to try Sundrunk and Yesterday's Haze. This is not an entry!
Thanks, Lily! Yeah, I think the strawberry is a bit too much for me in Cape Heartache as well. Maybe you'll end up liking Sundrunk or Yesterday Haze. I think most people would like Sundrunk (hard to go wrong with citrus).
I think everyone I know in the U.K. that has any had to order directly from their website. I'm not aware of any retailers over there that have them, unfortunately.
Does anyone find the juice evaporates fast? I saw a old YT review that this was the case. Maybe they changed the bottles since that review. That’s the only thing that’s holding me back from buying 😬 but I really want to buy!
Great overview. I need to circle back on this house, so many have come out. Really enjoy cobra, need FB. Memoirs is also pretty nice. BB, COF and Cape aren’t my favorites. A little too pungent in the wrong ways. Something for everyone however. ❤️❤️
I haven’t tried Imaginary Authors and would love to try them soon in the future. Only two stores that are 2 hrs away from my home carry this brand so it’s a little inconvenient for me to try their fragrances. But hopefully I can win this giveaway and get a chance to know about this brand. I would wanna try your number 1 favorite which is Memoir of A Trespasser, it sounds interesting to me 🥰
Thanks for the overview of this house, I've tried one "Violet Disguise" think it's discontinued. Yes, Tara, there's two that I'd like to try: Telegrama and Decisions, Decisions. 💖💗💖 *This is my entry to the giveaway*
A long time ago on a planet... someone swapped me a decant of Memoirs of a Trespasser and it’s the only one I’ve tried. The decant seemed a little old though or maybe I just didn’t like the scent as much as I expected. By now, it has evaporated even more and looks more like a syrup (someone should market that!). Should I try mixing it with some alcohol to retest? 🤔 Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and all your thoughts on the rest of the line, Tara. 🤗 🙏🏽💟✊🏾☯️⚛️
Have you tried Imaginary Authors? Which fragrances are you favorites? Which do you want to try? I'd love to know! Thanks for watching!
Saint Julep is by far my favorite! Seamless. This morning I was looking on the website to check out the discovery set.
@olfactions every storm is definitely my next favorite!
The Soft Lawn is my fave!
Excellent review!
I only just got my nose on this house about a month ago when I ordered an 8-sample box. My first bottle from the house arrived this week with some more samples I ordered. Here's how it stacks up for me...

Nice review Tara. Your list is similar to mine...I really struggle with Bulls Blood and A City on Fire. Yesterday Haze is my fave and is one of my favorites in my entire collection. Their Violet Disguise was beautiful as well.
Forgot to Mention The Soft Lawn.. that one is gorgeous as well!
Thanks, Brenda! I never had a chance to try the violet one, but I hope to try soft lawn soon!
@@Olfactofiles It's unfortunate that Violet Disguise was discontinued🥺 That happens with most of my favorites🤷♀️

This was a great video. I’ve tried most of the fragrances from the line and my favorites include Memoirs of a Trespasser and Saint Julep. I also like Whispered Myths and Yesterday Haze.

I love the packaging and bottle. Sounds like something I would sample and possibly add to the line up.
For sure! Thanks!
I have only sampled whiff of waffle cone and I was interested in it mostly because I love Salt n’ Straw ice creamery, who the scent is based on. After watching your video I am excited to try your top 2, Memoirs of a trespasser and Saint Julep. They both sound wonderful!
Thanks, Amber! I need to visit that ice cream shop someday!

@@Olfactofiles thank you so much 💗
Whispered Myths for life! Fun video! Thank you!! xoxo
Thanks so much! I will enter you in the giveaway!
Wow, we have like five of the same favorites lol 😂 MOAT is probably my #1 as well. Loved the video!!
Thanks, Jonesy! You obviously have great taste! :) I will enter you in the giveaway!
Thanks for the video, Tara! I have not tried anything from this house yet, but you have really piqued my interest. I especially want to try Saint Julep, Sundrunk, Memoirs of a Trespasser and, A Whiff of Wafflecone (I love Unkown Pleasures and I'm curious to see how it compares), I own Unknown Pleasures so I probably wouldn't purchase the IA fragrance, but you never know! I have to order a sample pack and check them out. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Yess! I can't wait to watch this later!
Thanks, Louis!
I had never heard of Imaginary Authors before, but all of their perfumes sound so intriguing! Their packaging is very creative and I particularly enjoyed learning the fun names they give their fragrances. I would love to enter the giveaway. I'd love to try any of their fragrances but Sundrunk sounds the most appealing (the name... I need sun. I am ready for winter to be over ).
I haven't tried this house yet but Saint Julep sounds intriguing!
Thanks, Giovanna! It's a good one!
Memoirs of a Trespasser and Yesterday Haze are my favorites!
I’ve never tried Imaginary Authors but have been most interested in trying Sundrunk and Whiff of Waffle Cone.
Thanks! Those are both good!
Hey Tara, really enjoyed this countdown list xxx
I was waiting for Every Storm a Serenade to pop up, as it's the only one I've had my eye on, but alas. . . no show. Lol
I did enjoy Telegrama too 👍. Love all the story concepts and imaginary notes. Xxx
Thanks, Lizzie! I haven't tried that one yet. I'll be on the lookout for a sample. I enjoy the concept of these as well. I think it's quite clever!
I haven’t tried them, but I was debating trying “yesterday haze” and most excited about that one! I just decided not to this time because perfume samples can add up in price too ☹️ and I was a little worried that one might be too Powdery for me?? Otherwise I was also curious about “memoirs of a trespasser” !!!
I love their bottle designs and concept though so I hope they keep doing more scents and maybe release a few more a little more wearable?? I love that this line and maison Margiela do the whole “mood/memory” idea !!
Thank you for doing this giveaway!!
Thanks, Amanda! I will enter you in the giveaway. I like a couple of the Margiela Replica scents as well!
@@Olfactofiles thank you!
I am interested in any of the scents, mostly because I'm intrigued by trying out more obscure perfume houses.
Thanks Jessica!
I haven't tried any Imaginary Authors yet but have some on my wish list. The first that I want to try is Slow Explosions. The notes sound like something I would like and the story with it is about Goa, one of my favorite places in the world.
That's awesome! I love the story concept they have. I will enter you in the giveaway!
I need to explore this house more. I've tried just Saint Julep, and I love it. The only trouble is that I always want to drink mojitos when wearing this 😆
Ahahaha! Yes, totally agree! Thanks!
I love Imaginary Authors- i find their scents whimsical and unique. Cape Heartache is my favorite but i do like St. Julep too.
Thanks, Joan! I agree! I'll enter you in the giveaway!
I've never smelled an Imaginary Authors fragrances. A couple sound really interesting but I'm most intrigued by O, Unknown because of the tea note. I'm also very curious about Memoirs of a Trespasser strictly for the name alone.
Thanks, Sandie! Good to hear from you! I like the name of Memoirs as well. I will enter you in the giveaway!
Haven't tried this house yet but it's on my list. I've wanted to try MOAT for a while and I would say Saint Julep and Cape Heartache round out my three that I must sample.
Thanks, Louis! I'll enter you in the giveaway!
I've been intrigued by this line for awhile. I've seen a few reviews from friends, but I've never gone ahead and ordered. I think A Whiff of Waffle Cone would probably be my favorite to try. I also really want to test Sundrunk though.
Thanks! Sundrunk will be great in the summertime!
I’ve been really interested in this house for a while and I’m most interested in Yesterday Haze! I love fig scents ☺️
I like fig scents as well! Thanks!
I think we all started with their Short Story collection . I now own about 14. I will be buying more. One of my favorite Niche houses
Wow! That's awesome!
Just how many mojitos are you drinking Tara??? 🥴 🤣 🌿 Nothing like a fresh leaf from the garden though. Cape Heartache still my fav by Memoirs is a close second. Kinda wish Sundrunk had a rhubarb closer to Jo's Rhubarb from Zara. Been layering with that one quite a bit lately.
I need to try that new Zara one! Sounds nice! And I have enough mojitos. LOL!
I've tried cape heartache, but hated the artificial strawberry note. I think I'd enjoy yesterday haze or maybe o, unknown!
Yeah, that strawberry is rough for me as well. Thanks! I will enter you in the giveaway!
I currently have a city on Fire. I will wear it out of the house. I have Velvet Haze and it is not strong enough for me. I am interested in Memories of a Tresspasser. Thanks
That's awesome! I think a city on fire is such a unique fragrance! Thanks!
I am watching this while my laptop charges so I can place my first Imaginary Authors purchase. I have a sample set picked out and I am quite excited
Thank you so much! I hope you have fun with the sample set!
Cape heartache is an all time favorite of mine. also love falling into the sea, yesterday haze, and memoirs of a trespasser. Fox in the flowerbed is SO GOOD and VERY different for this house. I’ve been wearing that a lot. Unfortunately I cannot stand whiff of waffle cone. Waaaaay too sweet- immediate headache-and I actually usually love sweet fragrances.
Id love if you could do more indie houses in the future! Im hoping to support an indie for my signature scent
I got interested in IA when I heard of Saint Julep, but I want to try Bull’s Blood.
Thanks, Maryann!
Hi Tara! I’m interested in trying Wiff of a Wafflecone ! I have seen several RUclipsrs de clutter this scent , but I’m still very interested in it! I’m a gourmand lover !
I wish the rest of my frag lover friends on here luck !!! ❤️
Thanks, Ava! I will enter you in the giveaway!
Thanks Tara !!!!! Ps- I forgot to add no, I have not tried anything from Imaginary Authors yet !
Never tried them but Telegrama sounds magical. Hope to win and get a chance to get to know the house!
Thanks, Yana!
I bought the sample set and was wholly unimpressed. Love you, glad to see this video, but as a house, Imaginary Authors is great at marketing. Memoirs of a Trespasser was the only sample I somewhat enjoyed, but overall, I thought the scents were unimaginative. Kerosene, on the other hand, I am loving.
I have noticed this house can be very hit or miss for people. I like Kerosene as well. Thanks so much, Sher!
@@Olfactofiles I wish I had watched this before I ordered! I would have stuck with your top 8. 😁
Thanks Tara! Of what I tried, I only liked Slow Explosions, but not sure I'd get a full bottle. I wanted to like Cape Heartache, but I didn't like the strawberry in it, it was too noticeable for me to look over it. Unfortunately, for how well it's talked about I didn't really connect with any as much as everyone else seems too. Still want to try Sundrunk and Yesterday's Haze.
This is not an entry!
Thanks, Lily! Yeah, I think the strawberry is a bit too much for me in Cape Heartache as well. Maybe you'll end up liking Sundrunk or Yesterday Haze. I think most people would like Sundrunk (hard to go wrong with citrus).
Never tried anything from the Haus, dunno where to get them from over here
I think everyone I know in the U.K. that has any had to order directly from their website. I'm not aware of any retailers over there that have them, unfortunately.
@@Olfactofiles 4k subs! That was quick 👀
@@RichMitch Yes! Thank you!
Does anyone find the juice evaporates fast? I saw a old YT review that this was the case. Maybe they changed the bottles since that review. That’s the only thing that’s holding me back from buying 😬 but I really want to buy!
I haven't had that issue, but I do think the bottles might have changed. The caps on these are really snug and I'm not sure that was always the case.
@@Olfactofiles thank you!
@@devdevlin1683 No problem!
I'm most interested in trying Slow Explosions.
Thanks, Kelly! I will enter you in the giveaway!
Great overview. I need to circle back on this house, so many have come out. Really enjoy cobra, need FB. Memoirs is also pretty nice. BB, COF and Cape aren’t my favorites. A little too pungent in the wrong ways. Something for everyone however. ❤️❤️
Thanks, John! Totally agree! They have quite the variety.
I haven’t tried Imaginary Authors and would love to try them soon in the future. Only two stores that are 2 hrs away from my home carry this brand so it’s a little inconvenient for me to try their fragrances. But hopefully I can win this giveaway and get a chance to know about this brand. I would wanna try your number 1 favorite which is Memoir of A Trespasser, it sounds interesting to me 🥰
I recently bought the sample set and my favorite was O Unknown. I love tea notes. Also Sundrunk is a good one.
Nice! Yes, if you love tea notes O Unknown is the way to go! I will enter you in the giveaway! Thanks, Lauren.
@@Olfactofiles Are you going to be doing a spring fragrance list??
Thanks for the overview of this house, I've tried one "Violet Disguise" think it's discontinued. Yes, Tara, there's two that I'd like to try: Telegrama and Decisions, Decisions. 💖💗💖
*This is my entry to the giveaway*
A long time ago on a planet... someone swapped me a decant of Memoirs of a Trespasser and it’s the only one I’ve tried. The decant seemed a little old though or maybe I just didn’t like the scent as much as I expected. By now, it has evaporated even more and looks more like a syrup (someone should market that!). Should I try mixing it with some alcohol to retest? 🤔
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and all your thoughts on the rest of the line, Tara. 🤗
🙏🏽💟✊🏾☯️⚛️
How about the performance?
I recently sampled Saint Julep but it was a dabber so I couldn’t get the full effect. It has promise though! I’d like to try Sundrunk next!
Thanks, Laurali! Yeah, dabbers are not ideal. I'll enter you in the giveaway!
