In Love with Everything Imaginary Authors 2022

At the beginning, I get this delicious fruity punch vibe. Citrus notes are tangy and bright while raspberry is juicy and tart. I get some sugar and also an underlying carnal rose scent. It's very nostalgic if you're a kid who grew up with fruit juice pouches. It also reminded me of Fruité's fruit beverages. Unfortunately, the fragrance starts to morph into a weird dusty, woody sandalwood. A synthetic streak starts to rise up and that's when the perfume turns into a generic, synthetic mess. It smells like one of those non-descript fruity and woody candle you can get at TJMaxx. Plasticky, synthetic and juste overall not nice. As a candle, it would be fine (even though I wouldn't light one in my home), but on me it's almost repulsive.

I'm kind of sad, 'cause I remember smelling this one on a strip of paper at the beginning of my fragrance journey when I was visiting Etiket for the first time. I remember loving this fragrance and vowing to return to it. Seems my nose has evolved since then. Unfortunately, it won't be making it in my collection and I don't really see myself recommending it to anyone. Sorry!
