Imaginary Authors Violet Disguise is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Josh Meyer. Imaginary Authors's Violet Disguise carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a polarising plum and violet fragrance that some find enchanting and sophisticated, while others are put off by a peculiar sourness. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

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 sillage and longevity make it suitable for close encounters, boosting its date and formal appeal. The unique and sometimes challenging character means it's less of an office crowd-pleaser and not suited for sport.

About

Violet Disguise opens with a burst of lush, ripe plum and bright, fresh violets. As it settles, the fruit notes deepen, becoming more like dried fruits, enveloped in a warm, resinous amber. The violet persists, often described as a soft, powdery quality, creating a smooth and intriguing aroma that balances sweetness with a subtle, woody depth.
