Imaginary Authors The Cobra and the Canary, Sample
Imaginary Authors The Cobra and the Canary is a highly creative scent from perfumer Josh Meyer. This composition is inspired by a road trip in a 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster, transforming into an exciting and decadent adventure. Categorised as a unisex Woody Spicy Fragrance, it opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon, invigorating the senses with its sharp, citrusy freshness. This vibrant introduction sets the stage for the journey ahead, igniting a sense of anticipation and freedom.
As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a softer, more complex character, with orris and tobacco flowers weaving together in a soft, powdery embrace. The orris lends a creamy, slightly rooty quality, while the tobacco flowers introduce a subtle, floral depth. This intriguing combination evokes the sensation of wind rushing through open fields, capturing moments of serene beauty amidst the thrill of the open road.
In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into a rich, earthy base of leather, hay fields, and asphalt. The leather adds a smooth, luxurious texture, evoking the feel of vintage car interiors, while the hay fields bring a dry, grassy warmth. Asphalt grounds the composition with its dark, rugged edge, reminiscent of winding roads stretching into the horizon. Together, these notes create an atmosphere of adventure and nostalgia, a tribute to the allure of exploration and the spirit of the journey.
