The story behind the bottle.
Josh Meyer's 'A Whiff of Waffle Cone' by Imaginary Authors, launched in 2020, is a playful and indulgent Oriental Vanilla fragrance that captures the essence of a sweet treat. The composition opens with a burst of caramel and vanilla, creating an immediate sense of comfort and warmth. As cinnamon and warm spices weave through the heart, it transforms into a rich, comforting embrace reminiscent of a crisp autumn morning, when the air is filled with the aroma of freshly baked waffles.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The rich base notes will develop over time, so give it a few minutes before reapplying if you desire more intensity. Best enjoyed during cooler weather when the warmth of its spices and sweetness can fully envelop you.
