Hotel love affair
I really loved this perfume.
At first spray, it's floral, fresh, sweet, spicy, a bit woodsy and a little dry—not powdery per se, but definitely dry. The lavender, linen, pepper, talcum, teak and vanilla are all apparent in the open. It smells like hotel sheets that your lover's scent clings to long after they've gone. Very comforting, sweet and nostalgic.
The journey of this scent is relatively linear, as I'm discovering most Imaginary Author scents are; but that's okay because this smelled lovely. The only notable change for me was the loss of the black pepper note about three hours into it—leaving behind a dry sweetness for the remainder of the wear. This lasted for over ten hours on my skin and the sillage was moderate.
This scent reminds me a lot of other sweet lavender scents like Goddess by Burberry and New Haarlem by Bond No. 9. However, this one stands out by being a bit spicier than Goddess with the pepper and softer and less syrupy than New Haarlem with the talcum note. And, though this has an undeniable sweetness, it's not cloying at all. That being said, you probably would not enjoy this if you dislike vanilla fragrances as the vanilla and lavender are the stars of this fragrance.
Overall, this is another beautifully crafted perfume by Imaginary Authors. While this is not the most revolutionary scent profile, it is expertly executed and the smell is divine. I cannot recommend this enough for those who enjoy sweet florals.
