Launched in 2012 by Imaginary Authors and crafted by perfumer Josh Meyer, The Cobra and The Canary is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the brand's ethos of scent as art. It opens with a vivid contrast between fresh spicy and citrus notes, creating an initial burst of energy and brightness. This gives way to a heart of green and herbal accords, adding layers of complexity and freshness. At its core, leather and animalic notes meld seamlessly into powdery undertones, grounding the composition in earthy richness.
The Cobra and The Canary is a narrative-driven fragrance that invites conversation and introspection, much like a captivating novel. It's designed to be provocative and stirring, inviting wearers to explore new dimensions of their own personal stories.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to ensure that the powdery base notes have time to unfold, while the fresh spicy and citrus top notes make their initial impact. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so a more focused application will enhance its intimate qualities.
