Ghost of stale cologne

This fragrance follows the same tragic arc of several other Imaginary Authors scents: at first spray it's delightful (fruity but not too sweet, nostalgic, bright), but it quickly slides into a generic, stale cologne scent on the dry-down. Once dry, I actually can't tell the difference between this scent, Every Storm a Serenade, Falling into the Sea, or Telegrama. Big disappointment.

This smells good in the bottle, like pure sweet rhubarb. But after a while it becomes a little cloying. I hate the word "cloying" so I guess that just shows how much it bothers me lol

This also unfortunately does what about 75% of other Imaginary Authors scents do and gives me a sinus headache.

Here's my mandatory sentence to meet the 300 character limit because my original review was too long to be a statement but i have nothing else of value to add.

like a sunburn that feels good.

imaginary author's sundrunk is a face meltingly strong orange opening that quickly becomes a hazy dreamlike sunkissed honeysuckle. this reminds me of drinking canned iced tea in high school. sundrunk is such an idyllic vision of a beach- like you're dreaming about going on vacation. it is very cool, and i like this one a lot!

i think you could get away with wearing this any time of the year but i would especially be wearing it in april and may. its a summer in your mind's eye.

Brassy Sun-In hair and orange push-up pops

I don't want to call this a novelty scent because that's a little dismissive, but it is definitely the sort of thing that one might wear to evoke a very particular nostalgia. In my case, it's being locked outside in the afternoon heat of childhood summer vacations; my mother would hand us each a sticky, effervescent orange push-up pop, and send us outside to, ostensibly, get us out of her hair. The door wasn't actually locked behind us, but it felt like to seek entry back indoors would be risking the sort of fury and frustration on the part of our mother, that as children, we feared immeasurably. So there's that syrupy, citrusy, fizziness, the scent of fresh-cut grass and chopped-up jasmine from the lawnmower, a sort of soapy green honeysuckle note, and a bit of a chemical-plasticky element, that you will recognize if you have ever had your damp, brassy, freshly Sun-Ined hair, drying in the sunshine on a sweltering Florida day. I don't know that this scent is very wearable, but I am glad that I got a chance to sniff it.

Sunlight in a bottle

"Effervescent", "fizzy", "sparkling". All of these are perfect words to describe the beauty of Sundrunk. It does indeed smell like orange soda, but in the most romantic way possible. Explosive orange; crisp rhubarb; a glowing rose that reveals itself only after repeated wearings; creamy white florals. This is a remarkable composition which I instantly fell in love with. Josh Meyer has captured sand, surf, sky, and sunlight in a bottle, imbued it with the haze of summer, poured orange soda over it till it's sticky, and mingled it with desire. The performance isn't very good (as others have noted, around 4-5 hours), but to me it hardly matters. Every time I wear Sundrunk, I instantly feel uplifted. One of my all time favorite summer fragrances, by far.
