The story behind the bottle.
Mosaic by Imaginary Authors is a Woody Chypre fragrance for women and men, launched in 2013 and crafted by Josh Meyer. The scent opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord that cuts through the air like fresh sea spray on a breezy day. As it develops, notes of mossy green and woody undertones emerge, creating an intricate layering effect reminiscent of an artist's palette. This composition is both invigorating and grounding, capturing the essence of Imaginary Authors' mission to provoke thought and inspire conversation.
Apply Mosaic to pulse points for a moderate sillage that allows its layers to unfold gradually. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so reapply if needed to maintain its fresh-spicy character throughout the day.
