Friendship, freedom and a Shelby Cobra Roaster
My interest in imaginary authors has been with me since my increased interest in perfume. It took quite a long time until I got one in my face. I always get to know the smell before I read the short story assigned by Imaginary Authors
This one is about the 23 year old James Spundt, who thanks to a clairvoyant in Connecticut, encounters a Shelby Cobra Roaster, with which he runs away with his buddy Ike. It is supposed to go to the race track in Palm Springs. During the day on the highway, at night in sleazy motels. Accompanied by pool parties, pretty girls and lots of cigarettes, the two of them seem to lead a Bonnie & Clyde like life in a frenzy and freedom, full of courage to take risks without knowing what tomorrow will bring. Freedom is probably symbolized by the canary, even if for me as a mining-savvy Ruhrpottler the canary stands for something else. The Cobra stands for the car, of course
The scent smells of damp asphalt, oil and leather. Absolutely something that could have meant the smell of freedom for young wild men of the time. Leather is quite mild, almost noble, the biting comes more from the tarry direction. Besides the well presented automobile I smell mainly agriculture. Bales of hay that were not caught up and lay in the rain for too long, are now fermenting and wet. Slightly animalistic, stalky notes are added, I would have guessed something oud. But so softly woven into the background that no fecal picture comes up. And that fits, too, because Neal's buddy Ike has to be "rescued" from the family farm before both of them escape to nowhere. The whole thing doesn't really smell typically pleasing, but also doesn't smell like anything that would go in the direction of Beaufort or something similar.
I like to smell him. He smells of rebellion and action and he smells just like Imaginary Authors promises I would recommend this fragrance exclusively to men and only stretch in autumn and winter. It's too leathery for that As a fragrance twin I recommend Oud mood Lattafa, which basically smells quite similar, but in all nuances somewhat overdriven.
Thank you very much for reading my commentary
