The story behind the bottle.
Telegrama by Imaginary Authors, launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Josh Meyer, is a fragrance that embodies the concept of scent as art. This aromatic fougere composition opens with fresh spicy and powdery notes before transitioning into a heart of lavender and woody accords, all anchored by a balsamic vanilla base. The contrast between the crisp top notes and the warm, enveloping base creates an intriguing narrative that invites conversation and reflection.
Start with one or two sprays — the fresh spicy top notes will catch your attention initially but fade within an hour. The woody and powdery heart notes will then take center stage, followed by a warm balsamic vanilla base that lasts throughout the day.
