Back home for the first time in days. Had to get a good shower and beard edge/trim in before I lost my mind. Then my thoughts drifted to what my mood is now. And this absolutely filled the ticket after sniffing at a few in the collection. Spicy fresh and deep base sweet without being gourmandish. This presents its own aura. While I’m still learning this and really haven’t given it enough attention, I can’t tell you how happy I am with everything I’ve obtained from the house. Do I expect to not find anything I don’t want or like? Yes. But if doing blind buys, always look at what’s important for you. After a few years or decades (lol), it starts to become less painful. And if not there is always the secondary market right? 😜

It’s a chilly 65 today in Phoenix and this frag is perfect for the weather. This is an excellent woody aromatic green fragrance with a very nice strawberry note. It’s linear and stays the same from start to finish which isn’t bad in my opinion. Longevity is great with great projection. I’m 5 hours in and still have about arms length projection. I’ll be exploring more IA fragrances this year. Here’s my original sample wearing review: https://www.skool.com/bos/sotevening-imaginary-authors-cape-heartache?p=6621cff0
