Tropical Aquatic

Falling Into the Sea opens with a big litchi note--juicy and robust. If you've never smelled litchi before, it kind of falls somewhere between pear, apricot, and peach. The litchi is backed by exotic flowers along the lines of mimose and lotus. As a result, this fragrance has a very tropical feel, and perhaps to call it a "tropical aquatic" is most appropriate. While I never detect a specific "sand" note, there is definitely a salty, beach-like quality that emerges about 20 minutes in to complete the picture. What you're left with is something of a fantastical impression of a tropical beach--a place close to one's imagination though somewhat displaced from reality. This works because for the most part the ingredients used in Falling Into the Sea feel natural enough to permit such an imaginative leap--your impression isn't jarred by harsh synthetics or scratchy aroma chemicals that remind you immediately that what you're smelling is fake. Yes, the notes are somewhat fantastical, but they are not so much chemical. In turn, the ingredients allow space for your mind to wander.To that extent, I think this fragrance is a success. As the fragrance hits the one hour mark, the litchi subsides to a degree and the florals become more apparent.

Although labeled as unisex, I'm more inclined to consider this a feminine fragrance. The exotic florals and big litchi note just seem better suited for a woman to wear. Though I don't mind smelling it on my arm at the moment, I probably wouldn't feel completely comfortable wearing this out in public. However, for women, I think this is a viable option in this category and definitely worth exploring. Projection is quite powerful and longevity is solid.

A nice take on a summer cologne ...

Haha ... the back stories of these fragrances, while clever, are extremely '50's B-movie' in nature :). One can imagine Natalie Wood playing Nica Galas and Robert Wagner playing the handsome young cliff diver who steals her heart. Well ... we all know how their last tangle on the ocean ended.

Falling Into the Sea is stuffed with bright, brisk Lemon and Grapefruit up top ... and (yuck) Lychee. Thankfully, the overly sweet fruitiness is soon dissipated by some lovely tropical florals ... a little Ylang maybe and a solid helping of Jasmine with a touch of suntan lotion thrown in for good measure. I'm wondering if the use of a fixative has been made here, because the hesperides (mostly Grapefruit) have a very nice longevity. The florals develop a touch creamy, so there may be some sort of Gardenia derivative present here too ... they are, however, very soft in an innocent sort of way.
When it comes to cologne-like scents, I must say that I prefer mine a little more classic. Whatever Bergamot is present in the opening is rather heavily overshadowed by the other citruses ... which I find to be a great pity.

This is a 'nice' fragrance from Imaginary Authors which I find a little twee for myself personally. It does lack quite a bit of the projection and longevity of the others from this house that I have sampled, but it is worth a try among those who like smelling of summertime at the beach :).

Blunt is blunt...but I like it...

Help...now I've bought a fragrance without reading the reviews and ratings first. How could I have done that? Without the planed swarm intelligence, I'm actually lost and can't decide for myself whether I like something or not...
Last weekend we were visiting Berlin...the weather was great. Naturally, we explored the world of fragrances there, which """is of course very different """""" from the one in Hamburg...at least if you/woman/diverse gallop up and down the Ku-Damm.
But we did want to treat ourselves to a detour to a small underground perfumery near Hackesche Höfe. A friendly and knowledgeable waitress guided us through the range. The motto that day was: I don't want to read reviews about the fragrances before I buy them. After testing them, my first choice was ennui_noir ...., which unfortunately sold out the moment I put my nose to the cardboard strip. OK...onwards.
I was already familiar with the fragrances from Imaginary Authors, but of course I didn't know them all. Perhaps it was the weather that made me feel like something fresh.
Yes, "it" is fresh. Citrusy with a little warmth; citrusy with a little sweetness. It's not the hit I was looking for when I entered the store, but it's still a pleasant rendezvous of the simple kind. I may be criticized for this, but I stand by the motto: "Blunt is blunt!". It doesn't always have to be 5-star cuisine to fill the stomach. The fragrance developed slightly balsamic over the next few minutes without losing the citrus note from the nose.
The sillage is OK...and with the best wife of all nodding her head too, this couldn't be a bad buy. AND IT ISN'T! With 5 hours of clear perceptibility, the durability is certainly not a world wonder, but sufficient for a summer fragrance. The price is also really okay for a niche brand at u 100€!
When I arrived at the hotel, I read through the reviews in this online refuge and was really surprised. I didn't want to understand why it scored a measly 5.9 on the open-ended "loser scale". Synthetic, chemical, pungent, toilet stone, toilet duck, scented tree...what did I have to read (here and there). So: I like Falling Into The Sea. Not a masterpiece, but not a concoction from the poison kitchen either. My favorite fragrance is still Allure Homme Édition Blanche Eau de Parfum, but the lychee charm of this fragrance is still very appealing to me.

And...this is of course also very important...I like the small, naive pictures on the bottles of Imaginary Authors... How easy I am to please today....

Nice but Boring Citrus

The scent starts out strong with the bitter citrus of bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit. The grapefruit is the scent that stands out the most, which is nice, because most times its the bergamot or lemon that that dominate. Throughout the whole scent there is floral background. The floral is weak at first but as the citrus mellows, the floral comes through. This fragrance lasts maybe 3 hours and it doesn't really project off the skin. So its a nice citrus but nothing really makes it stand out from others and it won't get you noticed.

Wonderful citrus, yet again, from Imaginary

It is no secret how much I love fresh citrus scents, but they have to be done right. As soon as a citrus fragrance is too synthetic, my nose frowns.

Imaginary Authors are one of the best in making fragrances realistic and every note can be detected without a fault, however, I was surprised when I found an old review I had made a while ago of Falling Into the Sea.

The sample is the same, but what my nose caught back then was a strong lemon opening. Nothing else. I faulted the fragrance of not having any depth or uniqueness like the other Imaginary Authors perfumes I had tested and I experienced that the oxidation of Falling Into the Sea made it go from a citrus fragrance to that of a soap or candle scent quality one.
To my surprise, that was not at all what I experienced today.
Falling Into the Sea has a green opening with a strong citrus appearing quickly. That has not changed. It smells like a mouthwatering lemonade though!
It is a perfect warm and sunny summer holiday fragrance, but I do agree with my prior statement that it does not have the depth and intricacies like other Imaginary Authors perfumes.
The lemon is, however, perfected like every other note from this fragrance house.

On paper, it is a pure gourmand citrus with a little hint of sweetness, not overpowering its freshness. I experience more visions of the sea and the beach when smelling it on paper rather than my skin.

After an hour, the fragrance mellows down to a less tangy citrus. There is a very subtle hint of sweet litchi, which is very endearing.
Falling Into the Sea is a less sweet version of Davana & Vanille Bourbon by 100Bon, which makes sense comparing both note profiles.
The composition of Falling Into the Sea is linear and consists of grapefruit, lemon, litchi, exotic floral notes, sand and bergamot.
All the citruses are there in perfect balance. Litchi sneaks in and gives the fragrance some well-rounded sweetness, but I am not getting the hint of warm sand or florals at all.

Falling Into the Sea has suddenly found a way with my heart and it is a definite would like to have fragrance.
