Yesterday Haze
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.
