Imaginary Authors Saint Julep is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Saint Julep opens with Mint, Rain, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Whisky, Sugar Cane, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Ambergris. Imaginary Authors's Saint Julep carries a Favourite verdict, an elemental-led wear.

A divisive scent where the stellar opening of mint, sugar, and boozy citrus often disappoints with shocking longevity. If it worked, it'd be a summer staple. Many find it delicious, others find it too sweet or even medicinal.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Date

Its fresh and uplifting profile is excellent for casual wear, sport, or relaxed office environments. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it's not ideal for formal events or dates where you need a scent to last and make an impression.

Declarable allergens

About

Saint Julep opens with a luminous cocktail of zesty tangerine and cool mint, quickly joined by a sophisticated whisper of whiskey and the deep, sweet earthiness of sugar cane. As it settles, a soft magnolia emerges alongside subtle rainwater notes, creating a unique, fresh, and slightly sweet aroma that's both invigorating and comforting, though notoriously fleeting.
