Floral fresh & animalic.
A curious perfume. I was quite surprised and although at first I thought it was a somewhat "unusable" smell, I have to admit that it is one of those perfumes that the more I smell it, the more I like it.

Maybe it is because I was expecting something like f.e. Corpus Equus very leathery and horsey, this perfume is not in that style. In fact, it does not smell particularly leathery or horsey to me, but animalic, but not particularly dense, but surprisingly fresh and floral (and animalic, but more like a piss animal) resulting in the aroma of a meadow where an animal had rubbed.

For me has the vibe of things, it reminds me of things, like Kouros - it is not the same, it does not look like it, but it reminds me - which is animalic but to a certain extent also fresh and soapy and as I said at the beginning, just like with Kouros, I cannot stop smelling it.

Nicely done but provocative smooth, spicy, floral leather, semi-animalic
First proper wearing of the latest release from Imaginary Authors, Untamable, a dry, semi-animalic, leather-led blend with notes of tonka resin, saguaro blossom, Texas yellow star, and cumin. It’s fittingly a bit spicy and floral, which keeps it from leaning too animalic, I dare say, somewhat less animalic than Bull’s Blood, its closest logical comp, in my opinion. Still it’s quite intense, the sort-of-dry, sueded leather rather sharply pairing with the smoother floral and spicy components, making for a nice ensemble, a pungent experience that’s not overdone, in my opinion, and I generally regard myself as pretty selective when it comes to leathers than lean animalic.

I’d argue that Untamable is the line’s most daring fragrance since Whispered Myths and Bull’s Blood before, not entirely uncharted territory in perfumery but certainly in some respects it is very new for Imaginary Authors.

I really like that despite its provocations, it feels sophisticated and balanced among its contributing accords and ideas. And even though I might find a sweeter leather easier to wear most of the time, I think Untamable is an awesome achievement, something I would wear occasionally, particularly with the approaching cooler weather.

Untamable is in EDP concentration with the current standard brand pricing of $105/42 for 50/14ml, still an outstanding value in the current market and one that makes it possible to own so much of this storied house without breaking the bank, relative to other companies.

Powerful leather fragrance, and the cumin and horsehair make it noticeably warm and comforting. However, becomes overwhelming very quickly.

Hard pass! This reminds me of walking through the stables at the state fair. Animalic, all right.

IMO the most wearable animalic leather fragrance. Very flowery and grassy with a touch of tonka/patchouli sweetness. Modern, wearable, nice!
