Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Josh Meyer. Cape Heartache settles into a heart of Canadian Hemlock, Woody, Pine, and Vanilla. Imaginary Authors's Cape Heartache carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a captivating, artistic blend of forest and fruit, while others get nothing but sickly sweet pine air freshener or synthetic strawberry gone wrong. Definitely try before you buy.

About

Cape Heartache opens with a blast of dense, almost damp pine and fir resin, instantly transporting you to a misty conifer forest. As it settles, a sweet, often artificial-smelling strawberry note emerges, mingling with subtle vanilla and deep woody undertones, creating a curious contrast. Some experience a smoky campfire edge, rounding out this unique, evocative forest fruit blend.
