Imaginary Authors A Little Secret is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Josh Meyer. A Little Secret opens with Saffron and Cherry, settles into a heart of Sweet Pastry, Sugar Cane, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Rum. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in autumn and winter. Imaginary Authors's A Little Secret carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This isn't just a cherry perfume; it's a divisive, complex beast, equal parts nostalgic warmth and an unsettling, almost Lynchian oddity. Some get syrupy pie, others a quirky, artificial cherry with a smoky, boozy edge. Expect compliments, but also expect to confuse a few noses.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Imagine tart, syrupy cherry, almost medicinal, interwoven with warm, spiced saffron. As it dries, a rich, nutty almond and sweet pastry crust emerges, drenched in dark, boozy rum. The base settles into an earthy patchouli and creamy tonka, grounding the gourmand sweetness with an unexpected depth.
