Imaginary Authors THE COBRA & THE CANARY eau de parfum

The Cobra and The Canary is a 2012 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 Cobra and The Canary, a Woody Spicy fragrance, has a scent profile of leather, green, iris, animalic, citrus, herbal, powdery, fresh spicy, smoky, and violet.

From Imaginary Authors:

"SYNOPSIS: When a tip from a clairvoyant leads 23-year-old Neal Orris to a rural Connecticut barn housing his deceased father’s secret obsession, a pristine 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster, it is the getaway ticket he was desperately searching for. After liberating his best friend Ike from his dead-end job on the family farm, the two hit the open highway. Aiming for the Palm Springs race tracks, their journey is a blur of seedy motels, cool swimming pools, hot debutantes, cocktails, and cigarette smoke. Each stop finds the friends inventing new pseudonyms and personas for themselves, their innocent game hurtling into the depths of decadence and desolation.

WHEN TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE: Don this scent on hot, hazy weekdays when you can put your life on hold and enjoy a simple luxury like a fast drive in the country."
