Imaginary Authors Saint Julep ~ fragrance review

Posted by Robin on 27 June 2017 103 Comments

Imaginary Authors Saint Julep brand image

On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. [...] It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles was always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”

That's presumably the imaginary blurb from the imaginary back cover of the imaginary book that inspired Saint Julep, the latest fragrance from indie brand Imaginary Authors. The notes — sweet mint, tangerine, Southern magnolia, bourbon, grisalva (amber molecule), sugarcube and crushed ice — are an obvious nod to the mint julep, and it's hard to believe, but I've never tasted one. Since I assumed it was something heavy and dark and sweet, I likewise expected Saint Julep to be heavy and dark and sweet.

Wrong again. Never judge a book by its cover, right? Although actually, Saint Julep is a pretty good synesthesia match with the pale green color of the brand image above. It's fresh, it's crisp, it's summery. The opening is indeed crushed mint and sugar, brightened by juicy citrus (it smells like a blend of mandarin and lime and lemon, and it reminds me a wee bit of the brand's Mosaic). It could be the start of a mojito — a cocktail I actually know — and when the "booze" arrives, it's not quite so strong or so dark as bourbon, or maybe it's analogous to a mint julep with just a light splash of bourbon? Or maybe I imagine the mint julep all wrong to begin with? Anyway, it's mild, and you won't smell or feel like you've spilled your cocktail on your person. So, light and bright and sweet, and minty, but not toothpasty at all. There is a wisp of light floral in the heart, but I can't say that I notice magnolia in particular. The dry down has a bit of sheer ambery warmth, and it is darker than the early stages, but it stays pale enough to wear like a summer cologne. Expect to reapply before your day is out.

Verdict: I like. It's fun, and it's refreshing enough to wear in hot weather. A perfect Imaginary Authors summer day coffret: Mosaic to wake up and get your day started, The Soft Lawn or Falling Into The Sea to take you through the mid-day, and Saint Julep for just when you start wondering if it isn't cocktail hour yet?

Extra opportunity for people who read to the end (and who can follow simple instructions): I have a 14 ml travel size of Saint Julep to give away. I will send it anywhere in the world, but the usual giveaway rules apply — I will take eons to mail, even more than usual since I'm leaving on vacation soon, and I won't be responsible if it never shows up or it shows up damaged, etc and etc. If you want it, comment below, and start your comment with "I want it." I will pick a winner using my handy dandy random winner app on Friday, and I'll announce the winner on Monday, 3 July.

Imaginary Authors Saint Julep

Imaginary Authors Saint Julep is available in 14 ($38) or 50 ($95) ml Eau de Parfum. For buying information, see the listing for Imaginary Authors under Perfume Houses.

      I really need to try a new bottle of Guerlain Herba Fresca to see how Fresca they’ve made it lately. I loved the original.

    I want it. I’ve had a mint julep many times. I used to go to a New Orleans-themed restaurant for brunch and drink them. But it’s been so long, I honestly can’t remember if they were light and refreshing or heavy with bourbon.

    I’ve never tried any Imaginary Authors, though I’m interested in a few (including this one) and I find the whole premise a bit hokey. But 14 ml bottles are always appreciated!

      The premise strikes me as humorous rather than overwrought, so I don’t mind it, and I like the matching label graphics. But I totally get being annoyed by backstory as I often am myself 🙂

    I don’t want it, even though it promises so much citrus! Mint isn’t really my thing, it’s lovely on most people but I have found one that I really like yet.

    Also, I’ve never tried a mint julep either. I’ve always gone for mimosas, but I guess I should try a mint julep now!

      Also, “light and refreshing” sounds pretty much on par with any mint julep I’ve had, oddly enough. I’m not a huge fan of mint-flavored food/beverage (usually just tastes like mouthwash to me) and bourbon is far from my booze of choice (too syrupy and heavy), but it somehow just works in a mint julep. It’s almost like drinking iced tea on a very hot day.

    I want it. I love that line “salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.” That sounds about right to me. I always think of the patches of mint as the grace notes in my garden. I’d love to find a perfume that smells that good.

    I want it. I’ve actually never tried a mint julep. Not sure why because I like bourbon and I love me a mojito.

    I want it. I have a magnolia tree outside of my house that’s in full bloom. I also have a thicket of mint in my herb garden. If the wind blows just right, I get hints of both in the breeze. It’s a surprisingly intoxicating combination and I would love to smell IA’s take on it.

    I want it. It sounds lovely and refreshing and puts me in mind of Gatsby and wide hats and summer evenings. Imaginary Authors is hard to come by in France, though I had the chance, visiting my sis in Cleveland last year, to sniff a few at Indigo Perfumery. I love the concept, especially because I’m always blown away by the intimate relationship between language and fragrance, so the nod to language feels just right to me.

    I want it… anything by Imaginary Authors is intriguing to me and the mint, citrus notes sound perfect for the Texas heat I’m experiencing. Thank you for the draw!

    I want it. 14ml is the perfect size. This house is one of my favorites!

    I want it! This sounds like a wonderful, slightly offbeat summer scent. I love the creativity of Imaginary Authors!

    I want it. Saint Julep sounds surprisingly delicious, and I always appreciate your even-handed reviewing style. Noses differ and all that, but an NST review is always a good starting point.

    Thank you for another scent to add to my wishful sampling list, al also appreciate the link to Erin’s 5 mints. That’s a list I’m interested in as the weather warms up. 🙂

    I can’t stop thinking about this one.

    How would you compare it to the new ELDO from Chandler?

      Other than the common mint note, they are actually pretty different. The ELDO is quirkier and has more heft, and I would say is the more complicated of the two. It is also minty but the heavy dose of shiso is what stands out.

    I want it.

    Mint is one of my favorite scents that is difficult to translate to perfume.
