Imaginary Authors is an independent perfume house founded by copywriter-turned-perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux. The brand focuses on narrative-driven fragrances with evocative names and unconventional compositions that sit outside traditional fragrance marketing.

Yesterday Haze opens with bergamot and cognac, immediately establishing a boozy, fruity character that's grounded by creamy milk notes alongside plum and raspberry. The heart pivots toward nutty gourmand territory with hazelnut, pistachio, and praline accords, while jasmine sambac and iris add a subtle floral counterpoint that prevents the composition from becoming cloying. The base settles into a warm, woody finish built on cashmere wood, cedar, and sandalwood, anchored by tonka bean and vanilla that reinforce the overall sweet, comforting DNA without overwhelming the other elements.

This is a fragrance for those who appreciate gourmand scents that maintain complexity and restraint, avoiding the one-dimensional sweetness of mainstream dessert fragrances. It works year-round but feels especially suited to cooler months and evening wear. The composition balances its candy-like appeal with woody depth and subtle florals, making it suitable for anyone drawn to nuanced, unconventional sweetness. Yesterday Haze aligns with The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Heirloom.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
cognac
cognac
Warm, slightly fruity, oaky, and elegantly boozy, cognac adds a sophisticated alcoholic warmth to oriental and leather fragrances. It has a rounded sweetness with woody, vanilla-like, and faintly grape-ish qualities from the spirit and its barrel aging. Associated with luxury, maturity, and quiet confidence.
milk
milk
Warm, slightly sweet, and comforting, milk in perfumery is achieved through lactonic molecules that evoke fresh dairy with a gentle creaminess. It adds an intimate, nurturing quality that makes fragrances feel skin-close and gently sensuous. Often combined with musks and vanilla to create the clean skin family of contemporary fragrances.
plum
plum
Dark, slightly tart, and warm, plum has a wine-like depth that makes it more serious than cherry or peach. It adds a fruity darkness to oriental fragrances, with a slightly fermented quality that bridges fruit and leather families. Used to add drama and depth to floral-oriental compositions.
raspberry
raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
hazelnut
hazelnut
Warm, nutty, and slightly sweet, hazelnut has a roasted, earthy quality with a gentle creaminess that makes it feel luxurious. It adds depth to gourmand fragrances without the heaviness of chocolate or the sharpness of coffee. Often used alongside vanilla and praline to build complex, sophisticated sweet bases.
iris
iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
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.
pistachio
pistachio
Green, slightly sweet, and gently nutty, pistachio has a unique freshness among nut notes, with a clean, slightly herbal quality alongside its sweetness. It reads as lighter and more modern than hazelnut or almond, with a faint green note that keeps it from feeling too heavy. Used in contemporary gourmand and oriental compositions.
praline
praline
Sweet, nutty, and slightly smoky, praline combines the roasted quality of nuts with caramelized sugar for a rich, complex sweetness. It's more sophisticated than straight caramel, with depth and slight bitterness that keeps it interesting. A signature note of many modern oriental gourmand fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
cashmere wood
cashmere wood
cedar
cedar
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
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.
vanilla
vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
