The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 28 December 2022 4 Comments

From Imaginary Authors, the Fox in the Flowerbed candle: "...a versatile scent, doubling as a mood-lifter during the day and bringing an ethereal elegance to nights out.

Imaginary Authors In Love With Everything ~ fragrance review

Posted by Jessica on 25 November 2022 5 Comments

Written in 1982, this electrifying novel about sex, drugs, and decadence in pre-Miami Vice Florida follows a delinquent clique of teenage girls through nightclubs, roller discos, and seedy South Beach bars in search of anything to keep the party going.

That’s the “inspiration” behind In Love With Everything, the latest fragrance from indie brand Imaginary Authors.

I don’t think there’s anything like it even in the perfume market.”

Once I’d eaten the perfumed layer, the ice cream tasted like ice cream; a sensation so ephemeral I questioned whether those scented bites even really happened. The experience did make me want to buy more of Salt and Straw’s exceptional ice cream. So I guess, to [food designer Sarah] Masoni’s point, the marketing worked.
