A fleeting affair

She is definitely here for a good time and not a long time, as is the case with scents with that mint top note. the mint disappears rather quickly. but the boozy oaky bourbon remains alongside the faint crystal sugariness which is a delight unto itself. a really fun fragrance that smells like a crisp muddle mint cocktail, late summer afternoons, laying on the grass a bit tipsy and thoroughly joyful.

Sweet Green

I do love the idea of this scent. It starts slightly minty with citrus from the tangerine. The scent drys down into a subtle white floral. Throughout the whole time, it smells slightly sweet and never gets overpowering or cloying. This is a nice clean fresh green scent. The problem I have is that this scent barely lasted 2 hours on my skin and I wouldn't even classify it as a skin scent because I couldn't even get a hint of it after two hours. If it isn't going to project, then it should a least last on the skin for a while. So a great concept but I think its performance is pretty weak.

One of my absolute favs

It was on the first day of sun after weeks of rain, that I grabbed for Saint Julep remembering that it was a fresh and springlike fragrance. I am so surprised that I had forgotten all about it and that it has been standing unused on my perfume shelf for this long.
I have been expanding my collection throughout my journey of new and niche fragrance houses and I have been stuck on deeper and more winterlike scents due to the weather, but I have completely re-fallen in love with Saint Julep all over again.
I remember, that Saint Julep was not the perfume I loved the most from the sample collection, but it was the most unique and satisfactory olfactory experience of them all.
Rediscovering it made me love it even more.

Saint Julep opens with fresh, minty notes with clear scent of sugar cubes and ice. Till this day, I do not understand how Imaginary Authors managed to create the scent of ice.
It is a sweet and feminine fragrance, yet has a niche nuance of notes making it very special and unique. The longevity is great and the fragrance develops very beautifully over time.
I sometimes call it my mojito in a perfume bottle.

After oxidation, I smell crisp sugar and ice, slight mint freshness, a splash of liquor and a deep, yet vague hint of tonka.

You will be able to smell this fragrance during the day and others have only complimented me when wearing it.

The notes are sweet mint, tangerine, southern magnolia, bourbon, grisalva and sugarcubes stated on the Imaginary Authors site. According to Fragrantica, the notes are sugar, mint, tangerine, whiskey, watery notes, ambergris and magnolia.

Refreshing and Spicy

Despite this being a mint julep fragrance, it’s not minty at all on me, but fruity, sweet, and slightly humid. The whiskey and magnolia notes really warm up this fragrance and make it a little spicier, which is a pleasant surprise. I think this is a good compromise for someone who loves gourmands but doesn’t want to wear them in the summer. It’s really pleasant and wearable.

Southern Summer in a bottle

Saint Julep is one of the most unique fragrances I've smelled. The notes sound like things could go south (pun intended) easily; it could have smelled like sipping orange juice after using mint toothpaste. But it doesn't: it's a light, breezy, sweet scent, a cooling floral that doesn't feel suffocatingly heady in the summer heat and humidity. I live in the Southern U.S., and this became one of my go-to's when a lot of my fragrances felt too sticky and cloying. The tangerine and mint are harmonious and fresh against creamy magnolia, the crushed-ice accord freshens and lightens the whole scent, and everything is blended beautifully, soft and hazy around the edges. Saint Julep has the exact feel of a refreshing sip of a lightly sweet cocktail on a hot day, sweet tea spiked with mint and bourbon and the smell of a blooming magnolia tree wafting gently on a rare summer breeze.

It starts fresh and green, mint with a citric tangerine, mixed with Bourbon. The drydown is a minty cotton-candy, sweet and slightly woody.

Not surprised that people think this is similar to Baccarat Rouge 540, since that essentially smells like the absence of a fragrance.

The sugar note is in the same vein as BR540, but the brightness of the mint makes it much more palatable. Shame the opening is so fleeting

Sugar and mint, some woodiness in the background and although you'd think, there is no caipirinha vibe. Rather Firn candies + BR540

Beautiful, sweet mint julep. Gents, this layers *amazingly* well with Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP.

A unique and very fresh citric/green minty gourmand, balanced by a generous sweet boozy-woody base. Nice interplay between Bourbon and mint.

Bourbon is definitely the stand out note here. Sweet, fresh, herbal, relaxing too. Not as minty as expected, it becomes very faint as it dries

A fragile and fleeting scent where bourbon whisky is the star. Sugar, mint and fruits, make this scent quite refreshing for warm weather.

I had low expectations, but sweetness is nicely minimal, refreshing mint and light white florals, great casual fragrance. Short lasting but fantastic.
