The Soft Lawn Imaginary Authors 2012

One thing I have to give Josh Meyer and his Imaginary Authors: I am never bored with their fragrances.
After my testing series had turned out to be a classic rollercoaster ride, constantly swinging between "Pleasant!" and "Disgusting!", it seemed wise to treat the remaining candidates with particular caution.
However, "The Soft Lawn" quickly makes it clear that there is no reason for concern - a very pleasant green-citrusy opening, which seems to set the direction of a classic-modern cologne, soon gives way to a cool, watery, distinctly cucumber-like accord, under which I perceive an incredulously ambroxan-warm spiciness, similar to what I recently experienced in the fragrances from Sentifique.
A bit bitter, a hint of sharpness - I like that, very much so, and to my own surprise, I find "The Soft Lawn" quite sexy and regret that the man by my side is still cruising through Southern Europe on his motorcycle and cannot tell (or show...) me how he shares this impression.
As for sporty activities on the tennis court, there is nothing to be discovered on my skin, and I can't say that I'm too sad about it.
After about an hour, the hybrid-aquatic aspect has nearly completely faded, and I distinctly perceive that ambroxan component, which could be attributed to a synth mix of oakmoss and bay leaf - nothing here is particularly natural, and Mr. Meyer's ingredient lists rarely prove to be very helpful.
However, this does not bother me at all in this case, as "The Soft Lawn" remains free of unpleasant surprises until the very end and proves to be a fragrance that I wouldn't necessarily need to have, but would wear again at any time.
