Inspired by a forgotten mansion hidden deep in the Adirondack Mountains, The Abandoned Mansion by Imaginary Authors brings the comforting atmosphere of weathered wood, quiet reading rooms, and forgotten stories into your home. Warm cedar creates a rich, woody foundation reminiscent of aged furniture and rustic forest cabins, while quince introduces a subtle fruity brightness that softens the composition. The distinctive scent of paperbacks adds a nostalgic touch, evoking shelves of well-loved books and peaceful afternoons spent lost in a favorite story.
Crafted from an 11 oz soy wax blend with a cotton wick, this scented candle offers approximately 55 hours of burn time. Its inviting combination of natural woods, delicate fruit, and nostalgic paper creates a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for reading, relaxing, or enjoying a quiet evening indoors. Atmospheric and beautifully comforting, The Abandoned Mansion captures the timeless appeal of a secluded woodland escape.

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.
