Imaginary Authors O, Unknown! is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Josh Meyer. O, Unknown! settles into a heart of Black Tea, Orris Butter, Lapsang Souchong Tea, and Musk Balsam. Imaginary Authors's O, Unknown! carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

O, Unknown! is a deeply divisive, yet utterly captivating fragrance. Some find it a profoundly nostalgic, comforting tea and orris dream; others recoil from its waxy, dusty, or even musty nature. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not 'unknown' to those who encounter it.

About

Opening with a distinct powdery orris butter, O, Unknown! quickly unfolds into a complex tapestry. Hints of dry, almost buttery tea emerge, mingling with the earthy depth of oakmoss and the soft caress of musk. A subtle woody warmth from sandalwood grounds the composition, whilst tolu balsam adds a touch of creamy sweetness, preventing the iris from becoming too sharp. It settles into a tranquil, slightly melancholic skin scent, evoking old books, cherished memories, but not without a touch of elegant mystery.
