EDP · 2012 · unisex

Imaginary Authors is an indie fragrance house founded by Israelis Mnichaël Flessas and Chris Maurice, known for creating scents with narrative concepts rather than traditional marketing angles. The brand emphasizes artistic storytelling alongside olfactory quality, positioning themselves outside mainstream fragrance conventions.

Bull's Blood opens with chocolate, geranium, rose, and saffron layered over tobacco, creating an immediately warm and slightly spiced introduction. The heart deepens this profile with cedar and Haitian vetiver joining a musky, rose-tinged heart that hints at oud's earthy complexity. The base settles into a patchouli-forward finish anchored by musk and tobacco, grounding the composition in amber and woody territory with gourmand undertones that prevent it from turning austere.

This is a versatile fragrance that works year-round, though it leans toward cooler months when the tobacco and earthiness feel most natural. It suits anyone drawn to unconventional fragrances that blend sweetness with smoke and soil, avoiding the clean-scent mainstream. The overall profile sits somewhere between The Mystic, The Reverie, and The Homesteader.

Top · 0–30 min
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.
geranium
geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
rose
rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
saffron
saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
tobacco
tobacco
Rich, sweet, slightly smoky and earthy, tobacco in perfumery is the idealized version: dried, cured, and faintly honeyed rather than ashy and stale. It adds a deep, contemplative warmth to oriental and woody fragrances. Tobacco fragrances feel settled and confident, the scent of someone who's entirely comfortable in their own skin.

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.'
oud
oud
The most prized and expensive raw material in perfumery, a resinous wood produced by agarwood trees infected with a specific mold. Real oud is animalic, smoky, leathery, and sometimes medicinal, with enormous lasting power. It anchors the great Middle Eastern fragrances and has become the defining luxury note of contemporary perfumery.
rose
rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.

patchouli
patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
tobacco
tobacco
Rich, sweet, slightly smoky and earthy, tobacco in perfumery is the idealized version: dried, cured, and faintly honeyed rather than ashy and stale. It adds a deep, contemplative warmth to oriental and woody fragrances. Tobacco fragrances feel settled and confident, the scent of someone who's entirely comfortable in their own skin.
white musk
white musk
Clean, soft, and slightly soapy, white musk is the scent of fresh laundry and warm skin. It's the furthest from the animalic origins of real musk: approachable, inoffensive, and universally flattering. Almost every mass-market fragrance uses white musk as a base, which is why it reads as 'clean' rather than specifically musky.
