If you have never heard of Imaginary Authors, do yourself a quick favor and take a scroll through their website. Each of their fragrances tells a story of a fictional author on an adventure that inspired the scent. Some fragrances are chapters in a larger story, too. I’ve never heard of another concept like it. Plus, they’re doing some of the most interesting things in fragrance right now. This is a great example of why.

Saint Julep is inspired by the legend of an old speakeasy that was transported to the middle of a mint field on the backs of two dozen men. So, mint is the standout note here. I love mint, and it’s so hard to find in fragrances, especially in ways that don’t make it smell like a cleaning product.

But this is great. Taking notes (literally) from the classic cocktail, the Mint Julep, you’ll find sweet mint, bourbon, sugar cube, plus tangerine and magnolia. It smells fresh and sweet, and it’s exactly what I’d hoped it would be. It’s something perfect for spring and even better to welcome in the hotter months.
