ABOUT THE BRAND

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.
