Imaginary Authors
Portland house started in 2012 by Josh Meyer. Every scent comes dressed as a novel: a fake author, a fake plot, a bottle that looks like it sat on a shelf for forty years. Memoirs of a Trespasser, Cape Heartache, Falling Into the Sea and A City on Fire are the ones people keep coming back to. Bottles are 50 ml, there is a small 14 ml travel size, and the sample sets let you test the whole shelf before spending real money.
Good pick for someone who likes odd, story driven scents and unisex wear. The style leans dry and woody, so lovers of loud sweet perfume may find it quiet. Some releases sit close to the skin and need a second spray by afternoon. The house sells direct and replies to mail from a real address, which helps when a bottle arrives damaged.
