Last of my Imaginary Authors samples

Falling into the Sea
First smells like a lemon drop, sweet sour. They list a sand note which gives it a hint of earthy dryness. It's not oceanic if that's what you're expecting. Sourness fades into the lychee and then creamy balmy florals. Interesting contrasting with Sundrunk, this is much sweeter, more approachable, feminine, but less interesting. It lasts though.

Saint Julep
An unusual mix, it doesn't go on as refreshing as the mint suggest, there is a savoriness from deeper green, whiskey, and browned sugar, but not overly sweet. Distracted from all that, I do not get the tangerine, or it's mild and sweet enough to seamlessly blend in with the rest. The drydown isn't as charming, as the mint mostly disappears leaving only the sugar. Lasted longer than others claimed.

Whispered Myths
Probably the most divergent of their frags. It's listed as animalic and goes on smelling like stale piss and then rotting cantaloupe. It shifts drier and dustier from the oud while not fully escaping the compost vibe, though it does mellow out. There are so many other old dusty bookshelf scents that achieve what this tried, but if you want to smell like a goth chick who rolls around in the graveyard then be my guest.

Memoirs of a Trespasser
An older sample, hated it because despite being vanilla it smells laced with black pepper, which is disgusting. Probably the guaiac wood note. Pulled it out to give it one more try and it's unfortunately still prominently there. Found one reviewer mentioning the same, but most seem to like it, and I can concede it's intensely creamy and smooth.

If anyone is looking to sample, I would suggest at most Cape Heartache, Yesterday Haze, Slow Explosions, Saint Julep, and probably Memoirs of a Trespasser. O'Unknown, Sundrunk are passable too.
I have not sampled Fox in the Flowerbed, Telegrama, Cobra and the Canary, Whiff of Wafflecone, and any discontinued.
