Inspired by the freedom of the open road and the rebellious spirit of vintage Americana, The Cobra & The Canary by Imaginary Authors captures the excitement of leaving everything behind in search of adventure. This unisex Eau de Parfum opens with bright lemon, creating a refreshing citrus contrast to the soft, powdery elegance of orris. Delicate tobacco flowers introduce a subtle floral warmth, while rich leather evokes the worn-in seats of a classic 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster.
As the fragrance develops, dry hay fields bring an earthy, sun-warmed character reminiscent of quiet country highways. A distinctive asphalt accord adds a smoky, mineral-like edge, capturing the atmosphere of hot pavement and endless roads stretching toward the horizon. Rugged yet refined, The Cobra & The Canary balances citrus freshness, soft florals, and rich leather in an atmospheric fragrance that celebrates freedom, spontaneity, and adventure.

Imaginary Authors
Imaginary Authors is born from the concept of scent as art and art as provocation. 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. The hope is that they not only invigorate and intoxicate, but also take you to new places.
Perfumer Josh Meyer created Imaginary Authors to tell stories through his unique perfumes, rather than in books. Each Imaginary Authors fragrance follows a compelling story line peppered with intriguing twists. These are scents to curl up with, to share with friends, to take with you wherever you go, and to return to again and again for a uniquely transcendent experience.
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
