Imaginary Authors Telegrama is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Josh Meyer. Telegrama settles into a heart of Linen, Amyris, Powdery, and Teak. Imaginary Authors's Telegrama carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Telegrama is a divisive vintage-meets-modern scent. For some, it's a comforting powdery-woody lavender dream; for others, it's a sharp, chemical nightmare. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, especially for those sensitive to powdery notes.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its clean, soothing character makes it perfect for casual wear, home, or even winding down. While some find it office-appropriate, its powdery nature and moderate sillage might be too present for formal settings. Not suitable for sport, as the powdery accords would feel out of place.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly sharp burst of black pepper and clean lavender, quickly settling into a plush, powdery heart. There's a persistent soft talc aroma, mingled with the warmth of vanilla and the subtle, earthy depth of amyris and teak. A 'fresh linen' quality underlies the composition, creating a scent that feels both classic and surprisingly modern. It’s comforting, clean, and quite unique.
