About
The Cobra and The Canary by Imaginary Authors is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. The Cobra and The Canary was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Josh Meyer. The fragrance features Leather, Hay, Iris and Lemon. When a tip from a clairvoyant leads 23-year old Neal Orris to a rural Connecticut barn housing his deceased father’s secret obsession, a pristine 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster, it is the getaway ticket he was desperately searching for. After liberating his best friend Ike from his dead-end job on the family farm, the two hit the open highway. Aiming for the Palm Springs race tracks, their journey is a blur of seedy motels, cool swimming pools, hot debutantes, cocktails, and cigarette smoke. Each stop finds the friends inventing new pseudonyms and personas for themselves, their innocent game hurtling into the depths of decadence and desolation.Notes: Lemon, Orris, Tobacco Flowers, Leather, Hay Fields & Asphalt
