Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors captures the mystery of towering evergreens, mist-covered forests, and unforgettable adventures. This unisex Eau de Parfum combines the crisp, resinous freshness of Douglas fir and pine resin with the deep green character of western hemlock, creating an immersive woodland atmosphere. Juicy strawberry introduces an unexpected touch of fruity sweetness, while vanilla leaf lends a gentle warmth that softens the fragrance's earthy, aromatic character.
As the fragrance develops, an old growth accord evokes the rich, woody depth of ancient forests, while mountain fog brings a cool, atmospheric freshness reminiscent of mist drifting through the trees. Balancing lush greenery, sweet berries, and comforting woods, Cape Heartache is a beautifully unconventional fragrance that captures the romance, solitude, and natural beauty of the wilderness.

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.
