O, Unknown!

by Josh Meyer

Imaginary Authors O, Unknown! is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Josh Meyer. The fragrance settles into a heart of Tea, Oakmoss, Orris, and Tolu Balsam.

Our verdict on O, Unknown!: Statement

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.

Its intimate sillage and relaxing, unique scent profile make it ideal for casual wear, especially for personal enjoyment or close encounters.

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.
