About
Saint Julep by Imaginary Authors is a Aromatic Green fragrance for women and men. Saint Julep was launched in 2017. The fragrance features Sugar, Mint, Tangerine, Whiskey, Watery Notes, Ambergris and Magnolia. "On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff’s son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles was always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”--attributed to author Milton Nevers, Imaginary AuthorsSaint Julep by Imaginary Authors is a Aromatic Green fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Saint Julep was launched in 2017. The fragrance features tangerine, mint, sugar, magnolia, whiskey, ambergris and watery notes.
