Imaginary Authors SAINT JULEP eau de parfum

Saint Julep is a 2017 release from Portland niche perfume house Imaginary Authors and house perfumer Josh Meyer. Imaginary Authors aims to create "wildly unique fragrances born from the concept of scent as art and art as provocation," that invigorate, intoxicate, and "take you to new places." Saint Julep is an Aromatic Green fragrance with a scent profile of sweet, green, citrus, aromatic, whiskey, fresh spicy, vanilla, aquatic, woody, and ambery accords.

From Imaginary Authors:

"SYNOPSIS: On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff’s son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles are always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: When the weight of the world seems too much to bear, a prayer to Saint Julep will not only soothe, it will give you the aplomb to keep marching forward."
