A piece of childhood in a bottle
Who would not like to be a child now and then? This carefree time without worries or fears. A time of creativity and bliss. Just enjoy every moment! Fun in a summer meadow. Eating a tasty ice cream. Or would you prefer sweets and confectionery? Yes, especially in these difficult times I often observe a longing for a carefree childhood
With Saint Julep, Imaginary Authors has created a fragrance that is capable of reviving this very period olfactorically. We have here a green-sweet scent. A combination that I have fallen for all too often. I smell the green meadow, fresh mint, ice cream and sweets and the scent also makes me think of cocktails, as it should. For me, however, these are rather non-alcoholic, fine and fruity desserts. In my eyes, this is a fragrance that catapults me straight back to childhood, in the middle of summer. I can't perceive any whisky. No alcohol at all. The grown-ups have a break from broadcasting with this sweetheart in my eyes. The stage belongs entirely to the little ones
The fair, the bag of jelly bears, almost everything that my colleagues here have noticed, I too can understand. However, the sweets are all served in the fresh air. Maybe in the open-air swimming pool on a carefree summer day?

Saint Julep is a piece of childhood filled in flacons. Unfortunately, after two hours it is almost imperceptible for my nose. Otherwise I would probably have weakened and ordered it already. I'm just not the sprayer. But I definitely haven't gotten rid of this dreamlike happy maker yet. I could imagine it for the summer very well.

Many thanks to Chizza for the sample. He sweetened my morning bike ride today and took me back from the grey of November 2020 to the midsummer of 1986.

Childhood Memories and the Golden Bear
Do you know the typical smell of a freshly opened bag of gold bears? That's how the scent smells. Sweet, fruity after all sorts of things, slightly powdery creamy and somewhat synthetic in the first breath.

These childhood memories...

This is how the fragrance smells for the first 3 hours, until it looks a bit more like its name-giving cocktail. Then the mint note is the only one that keeps the natural fruitiness away from the creamy wax kiln style.

Very tasty, very cuddly.

The shelf life is ok, better than you are partly claimed. May be about 5-7 hours depending on skin.

The Sillage is reservedly airy, but one is perceived quite positively with this Gummi Bear note. Lets go down after hour 3 but quite a bit and gets at the 5th skin near.

The bottle is IA typically simple but with a cool dreamy design. Qualitatively quite good and the spray fog is also good.

One of my absolute favs
It was on the first day of sun after weeks of rain, that I grabbed for Saint Julep remembering that it was a fresh and springlike fragrance. I am so surprised that I had forgotten all about it and that it has been standing unused on my perfume shelf for this long.
I have been expanding my collection throughout my journey of new and niche fragrance houses and I have been stuck on deeper and more winterlike scents due to the weather, but I have completely re-fallen in love with Saint Julep all over again.
I remember, that Saint Julep was not the perfume I loved the most from the sample collection, but it was the most unique and satisfactory olfactory experience of them all.
Rediscovering it made me love it even more.

Saint Julep opens with fresh, minty notes with clear scent of sugar cubes and ice. Till this day, I do not understand how Imaginary Authors managed to create the scent of ice.
It is a sweet and feminine fragrance, yet has a niche nuance of notes making it very special and unique. The longevity is great and the fragrance develops very beautifully over time.
I sometimes call it my mojito in a perfume bottle.

After oxidation, I smell crisp sugar and ice, slight mint freshness, a splash of liquor and a deep, yet vague hint of tonka.

You will be able to smell this fragrance during the day and others have only complimented me when wearing it.

The notes are sweet mint, tangerine, southern magnolia, bourbon, grisalva and sugarcubes stated on the Imaginary Authors site. According to Fragrantica, the notes are sugar, mint, tangerine, whiskey, watery notes, ambergris and magnolia.

Sweet Green
I do love the idea of this scent. It starts slightly minty with citrus from the tangerine. The scent drys down into a subtle white floral. Throughout the whole time, it smells slightly sweet and very gets overpowering or cloying. This is a nice clean fresh green scent. The problem I have is that this scent barely lasted 2 hours on my skin and I wouldn't even classify it as a skin scent because I couldn't even get a hint of it after two hours. If it isn't going to project, then it should a least last on the skin for a while. So a great concept but I think its performance is pretty weak.

Southern Summer in a bottle
Saint Julep is one of the most unique fragrances I've smelled. The notes sound like things could go south (pun intended) easily; it could have smelled like sipping orange juice after using mint toothpaste. But it doesn't: it's a light, breezy, sweet scent, a cooling floral that doesn't feel suffocatingly heady in the summer heat and humidity. I live in the Southern U.S., and this became one of my go-to's when a lot of my fragrances felt too sticky and cloying. The tangerine and mint are harmonious and fresh against creamy magnolia, the crushed-ice accord freshens and lightens the whole scent, and everything is blended beautifully, soft and hazy around the edges. Saint Julep has the exact feel of a refreshing sip of a lightly sweet cocktail on a hot day, sweet tea spiked with mint and bourbon and the smell of a blooming magnolia tree wafting gently on a rare summer breeze.

Beautiful, sweet mint julep. Gents, this layers *amazingly* well with Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP.

A unique and very fresh citric/green minty gourmand, balanced by a generous sweet boozy-woody base. Nice interplay between Bourbon and mint.

It starts fresh and green, mint with a citric tangerine, mixed with Bourbon. The drydown is a minty cotton-candy, sweet and slightly woody.

Sugar and mint, some woodiness in the background and although you'd think, there is no caipirinha vibe. Rather Firn candies + BR540

Nice fresh, sweet mojito scent. Great for summer. Like a tamed down Angels Share, also with less performance.
