Imaginary Authors is an indie fragrance house known for narrative-driven scents that blur genre boundaries. Founded by Brooklyn-based perfumers, the brand approaches fragrance like literature, with each release telling a distinct olfactory story.

Decisions, Decisions opens with a bright floral accord anchored by gardenia, jasmine, and a hint of pear, creating an initially fruity freshness before the composition settles into its heart. The middle develops around amber, tuberose, and rose with geranium threading through, giving the fragrance a creamy, voluptuous character that leans heavily floral. The base marries amber and ambroxan with benzoin, musk, and patchouli, creating a warm, slightly resinous foundation that grounds the florals without going overly sweet or powdery.

This is a sophisticated floral oriental that works well for someone seeking depth without overt gourmandise. It suits year-round wear, though the creamy amber and balsamic elements make it particularly compelling in cooler months. The fragrance occupies interesting middle ground between fresh florals and sensual orientals, making it versatile enough for both day and evening. Fans of The Homesteader, The Romantic, and The Mystic will find much to appreciate here.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
gardenia
gardenia
Intoxicatingly creamy and white-floral with a waxy, almost narcotic sweetness. Gardenia shares the heady indolic quality of jasmine and tuberose but with a fresher, greener edge from its glossy leaves. A challenging note to use well, too much overwhelms, but a well-handled gardenia accord is memorably beautiful.
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.
jasmine
jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
jasmine sambac
jasmine sambac
The smaller-flowered Asian variety of jasmine used to scent traditional jasmine tea, with a sweeter, more honeyed, and slightly fruity character compared to Jasminum grandiflorum. Jasmine sambac has a lighter, more transparent quality with a tea-like freshness alongside its floral richness. It is the defining jasmine of South and Southeast Asian perfumery.
pear
pear
Gentle, watery, and slightly floral, pear is one of fragrance's most delicate fruit notes, with a clean sweetness that is closer to flowers than to heavy tropical fruits. It adds a soft, luminous freshness to compositions and pairs naturally with rose, iris, and light musks. Often the note that makes a fragrance feel effortlessly elegant.
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.
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.
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.
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.
tuberose
tuberose
One of the most intensely floral natural ingredients in existence, rich, creamy, and almost narcotic in its sweetness. Tuberose is polarizing by design: it's meant to be enveloping, not background. It has rubbery, vanilla-like facets that make it feel both sensual and slightly retro.
Base · 3–12 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.
ambroxan
ambroxan
The molecule responsible for the warm, skin-amplifying quality of many modern fragrances, ambroxan (Ambrox) is a synthetic compound derived from ambergris that creates an almost invisible warmth. It doesn't smell strongly on its own but makes everything around it feel richer, closer, and more like skin. The secret weapon of countless contemporary bestsellers.
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.
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.'
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.
