EDP · 2023 · unisex

Imaginary Authors is an indie fragrance house known for literary-inspired compositions and unconventional storytelling. The brand creates niche fragrances with distinctive characters and depth, prioritizing original scent architecture over mass-market appeal.

Blend No.83 opens with a strong coffee and cacao pod combination, immediately sweetened by dark chocolate, rum, and sugar notes. The heart deepens this gourmand profile with layered chocolate and tonka bean warmth, while coffee remains a constant thread throughout. The base settles into a balsamic sweetness, with benzoin and labdanum providing resinous richness alongside rum and musk, creating a fragrance that's both confectionery and slightly smoky.

This is a comfort fragrance for cooler months, ideal for those who appreciate gourmand compositions without excessive sweetness. It works well as an evening scent or for daytime wear during autumn and winter. If you gravitate toward The Reverie, The Seducer, and The Romantic, Blend No.83 will likely appeal to your taste.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
cacao pod
cacao pod
The outer shell of the cacao fruit has a raw, earthy, slightly fruity-woody character that is less sweet and more complex than processed cocoa or chocolate. Cacao pod in perfumery adds a naturalistic, slightly fermented depth to compositions, evoking chocolate's origins before the sweetness is added.
coffee
coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
dark chocolate
dark chocolate
rum
rum
Sweet, slightly smoky, and warm, the distilled essence of sugarcane adds a tropical, slightly boozy warmth to orientals and leather fragrances. It has a brown-sugar, molasses quality with a gentle spirit-like shimmer. Often found alongside tobacco and wood notes to create warm, convivial compositions.
sugar
sugar
Clean, crystalline, and sweet without complexity, sugar adds a simple, transparent sweetness to fragrances. Unlike caramel or honey, pure sugar reads as almost odorless but amplifies the sweetness of surrounding notes. It is often used as a modifier rather than a lead note, pushing compositions toward the sweeter side of their spectrum.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
amber
amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
cacao
cacao
The raw, earthy version of chocolate, cacao has a bitter, roasted quality before sweetness is added, with an almost smoky, slightly fermented depth. In perfumery it reads as more sophisticated than straight 'chocolate': darker, more complex, and better suited to woody and leather compositions where it adds a rich, bittersweet depth.
chocolate
chocolate
Dark, rich, and slightly bitter, cacao in perfumery ranges from milky sweet to raw and earthy depending on how it's sourced and used. It adds depth and indulgence to oriental fragrances and pairs beautifully with florals in a way that feels more romantic than foodie. A note that divides opinion but never bores.
coffee
coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
tonka bean
tonka bean
Sweet, powdery, and almond-like with hay-like, slightly tobacco undertones, tonka bean is one of perfumery's most useful base notes. It shares coumarin with fresh hay and freshly cut grass, adding a warmth that feels nostalgic and comforting. Essential in gourmand and soft oriental fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
benzoin
benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
coffee
coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
labdanum
labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
musk
musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
rum
rum
Sweet, slightly smoky, and warm, the distilled essence of sugarcane adds a tropical, slightly boozy warmth to orientals and leather fragrances. It has a brown-sugar, molasses quality with a gentle spirit-like shimmer. Often found alongside tobacco and wood notes to create warm, convivial compositions.
