The story behind the bottle.
Every Storm a Serenade by Imaginary Authors is a fragrance that captures the essence of transformation and renewal. Launched in 2015 by perfumer Josh Meyer, this aromatic green composition opens with a fresh, marine accord, evoking the cleansing power of rain-soaked air. The heart blends woody and earthy notes with subtle floral undertones, creating an atmosphere of calm and grounding. As it settles into its amber base, the scent reveals a salty warmth that lingers close to the skin.
Apply this fragrance lightly — its moderate longevity means it stays close to skin. The marine notes fade quickly, but the earthy warmth in the base carries through the day. Best for daytime when you want a subtle yet grounding presence.
