Imaginary Authors The Soft Lawn: Edition 2.0 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Josh Meyer. Imaginary Authors's The Soft Lawn: Edition 2.0 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Imaginary Authors tried something different with the 'tennis ball' note, and it's either a stroke of genius or a scrubber. You'll either get that brilliant rubbery zing layered over fresh green, or a chemical mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Its moderate performance makes it versatile, but the strong green and 'tennis ball' notes lean it heavily towards casual and sporty settings. Reviews highlight its suitability for outdoor activities and daytime wear, making it less ideal for formal or intimate occasions.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf

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

It starts with a zesty burst of grapefruit and green notes, like fresh-cut grass on a summer morning. Soon, a distinctive, slightly rubbery accord emerges, evoking a freshly opened can of tennis balls, blending with the verdant ivy and linden tree. The dry down settles into an earthy base of vetiver and oakmoss, adding a grounding, mossy depth to the playful, synthetic-tinged green.
