Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache, Sample
Cape Heartache is one of many fragrances from Imaginary Authors that have gained the house a reputation as a highly innovative brand creating unique and exquisite scents for men and women. Perfumer Josh Meyer has crafted a bright yet highly complex and alluring scent with fruity, green, and woody accords mixing with subtly sweet vanilla for a mesmerising effect.
The opening notes of fir and big strawberry create a vivid and refreshing start. The fir brings a crisp, invigorating green quality that contrasts beautifully with the lush, slightly tart sweetness of the big strawberry. This combination evokes the sensation of walking through a forest at dawn, the air filled with the scent of dew-kissed berries and evergreen trees. As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a tapestry of woody notes. These notes provide a grounding depth, lending a sense of serene earthiness that complements the brightness of the opening.
In the dry-down, the base of vanilla and hemlock emerges, wrapping the wearer in a warm, subtly sweet embrace. The vanilla adds a creamy, comforting layer, while the hemlock introduces a darker, more enigmatic edge. Together, they create a perfect balance, maintaining the fragrance's allure from the first spritz to the lingering final moments. This skilful interplay of notes results in a scent that is both captivating and unforgettable.
