The Language of Glaciers Imaginary Authors 2024
2
Sharp but smooth, the air and the woods
Finally doing a proper sampling of the latest release from Imaginary Authors, The Language of Glaciers, a sharp, dry, woodsy blend that has a sort of iris-adjacent, cashmere-led sharpness that’s quite powerful, seasoned by juniper and white pine with a florality that is attributed to lilac, a note I’m not too familiar with. There are some familiar aspects of TLOG elsewhere in the IA catalogue, so it smells familiar, in a way. It offers the sharpness of Telegram with the sweetness; the dry woody quality of Every Storm a Serenade but without the musky semi-animalic semi-sweet raw quality; the dryness of O, Uknown! without its tea. Evolution-wise, it’s predictably quite a bit sharper in the opening and dries down a bit smoother and ever so slightly sweeter. I like it, but as with O, Unknown!, I think it might take a little time for me to warm up to it further.
This is priced at $105 for 50ml in EDP concentration, now the standard pricing for the line that had only increased finally after more than 7 years, which is really remarkable, and is still quite reasonable around the $2/ml mark. Like the rest of the line, it’s sold via both the house website a number of US retailers like Perfumology. The house site also offers a travel size at $42 for 14ml.
