Imaginary Authors THE SOFT LAWN eau de parfum

The Soft Lawn is a 2021 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." The Soft Lawn, a Floral Green fragrance, has a scent profile of tennis ball, green, woody, aromatic, fresh, earthy, ozonic, and yellow floral.

From Imaginary Authors:

"SYNOPSIS: Claude LeCoq published his first book, The Soft Lawn, in 1916 while still attending Princeton University. A controversial portrait of adolescent upper-class rebellion in New England, the coming-of-age story follows Hampton Perry, a charmingly snotty college tennis champ who, after years of having everything handed to him on a silver platter, finds himself handing it all back.

A little known fact about the author: Claude LeCoq wore only seersucker suits, known in that era as the wardrobe of the poor, and it was his gallant presence at high society dinners and prestigious sporting events that brought the fabric into popularity among the affluent in the ’20s.

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: A great leisure scent, wear The Soft Lawn on weekends or anytime you wish it were the weekend."
