      Saint Julep is by far my favorite! Seamless. This morning I was looking on the website to check out the discovery set.

    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.

    @calliope720 3 года назад +2

    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!

    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 !!

    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.

    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. 🤗

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Saint Julep is a minty boozy bouquet that is addictive but dries down to a skin scent. You'll need to bring a spritzer to keep it going. These are "unisex" fragrances so beware that you might attract as many guys as girls with some of these. Falling Into the Sea is a much longer lasting lemony summer day at the beach that some reviewers think is too feminine. I love both of those and don't care what men think of me. Memoirs is strong vanilla that lasts about three days....very nice if you like vanilla The Telegrama sample I just tried would be great for a romantic date.
    Warning: You're better off paying a little more and buying samples directly from Imaginary Authors to get the little sprayer they come in.
