A Fragrance Story From Provence: "How To Say Bicycle in French" by Imaginary Authors

With "How To Say Bicycle In French", Imaginary Authors tells the fragrant story of a new beginning in Provence - of putting down roots, adventures and the small pleasures of rural life.

'How To Say Bicycle in French' shares the adventures, misadventures and heart-warming escapades of two people for whom health and happiness are more important than wealth and security. As they learned from the well-dressed Frenchman who rode his squeaky bicycle through the village every evening: "L'amour est de tous les temps!"

The composition blends fresh, green notes of basil and rosemary with the herbaceous, slightly tart depth of gentian and white thyme. The fragrance is rounded off with aromatic lavender and clary sage - soft, floral accents reminiscent of a summer evening in the south of France.

The inspiration: From city life to Provence

The fictional story of "How To Say Bicycle In French" follows an American couple who leave city life behind to start afresh in the south of France. Every day brings its challenges, but every evening ends with the feeling of having arrived a little more. The fragrance is intended to capture everyday scenes olfactorily - strolling through the farmers' market together, sitting in a street café in the afternoon, cycling along lavender fields and feeling the wind in your hair. 

The composition was created by Josh Meyer, the founder and creative mind behind Imaginary Authors.
