Avant-Garde fragrances you have to smell
That’s what GQ said, not us. We’ll take it. We make a fragrance that transports you to an ice cream shop on the hottest day of summer, another to a pine forest on the Oregon coast, and yet another to a lavish backyard gathering with a tennis court.
But descriptions can only take you so far. The fragrance you fall in love with may be the one you never saw coming. That’s our favorite part.
Meet the mad scientists who started it all.
Imaginary Authors started when Josh Meyer, a fragrance-obsessed perfectionist, became frustrated with the lack of creativity and shallow storytelling overrunning the perfume industry. So he decided to fix both. He roped in Ashod, a multi-hyphenate creative with an overactive imagination, to bring the vision to life.
While the market flooded with sparse, minimalist sameness, Imaginary Authors leaned hard into maximalism. We created worlds rife with imagery and formulas with unexpected twists. Josh still composes every fragrance himself, constantly finding new ways to surprise and delight you.
