The story behind the bottle.
A Swoon of Citrus by Imaginary Authors was launched in 2022 and is a vibrant expression of Josh Meyer's artistry. This fragrance opens with a burst of citrus that immediately awakens the senses, leading into a heart filled with fruity and tropical accords. The composition maintains its freshness throughout, grounded by subtle conifer notes that add depth without overpowering the bright top layers.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The bright top notes are intense but fleeting, giving way to a warm, fruity heart that lasts through much of the day. This fragrance is best enjoyed in the daytime when its fresh energy can fully shine.
