Slow Explosions by Imaginary Authors, launched in 2016, is an Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Josh Meyer. This composition begins with a burst of fresh and fruity notes that quickly give way to the warmth of leather and spicy accords, creating a dynamic tension between brightness and depth. The heart introduces rose and ambery tones, adding layers of complexity before settling into an animalic and metallic base that grounds the entire experience in a subtle yet powerful presence.

Application Tips
Apply Slow Explosions in moderation — its fresh top notes fade quickly, but the warm and spicy heart notes build over time. The moderate longevity means it's best suited for daytime wear when you can enjoy the evolving layers throughout your day.
