Imaginary Authors CAPE HEARTACHE body oil

Cape Heartache is a 2013 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." Cape Heartache is a Woody Aromatic scent with a profile of woody, aromatic, sweet, conifer, fruity, fresh spicy, and fresh accords.

From Imaginary Authors:

"SYNOPSIS: Cape Heartache is the lone American contribution to Philip Sava’s wildly popular series of exploration novels. It is based loosely on an expedition he made to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally regarded as the most candid of his works. Revolving around a homestead he built in a coastal grove of old growth trees, the novel documents his romance with a young woman who was a descendent of the Nehalem Tribe. Its themes of leaving the familiar and finding comfort and solace in a new place still resonate today.

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: For any new adventure including, but not limited to, beach bonfires, first dates, party crashing, or simply barhopping alone on a rainy night. Like a scarf, wear the Cape Heartache scent in the fall and winter and observe how people gravitate to your warmth."
