I don't know what he wants..
On paper, a pretty entertaining fun with way too much synthetic fruit. On me...

Weird combo.
First so WOW, is that much synthetic fruit.
Shortly later then so WOW, that is this special smoke note from Breath of God Perfume.
And barely that is gone way too quickly so WOW, the intriguing needle spice from Portraits - Terrible Teddy.

Just all much much much too shallow and with little substance.
But let's go into a little more detail.
The start is strangely unspecific and overdrawn. He does not want to fit so right to the rest and except scream he can somehow also nothing.
Underneath shows said smoke note, which is transported by oud and cedar very well and at the same time is so subliminal and subtle... what do you do with it? The cedar also continues to permeate and, along with a soft sweetness, is also the only thing that shows up for more than ten minutes.
But what is already missing after five minutes, is expressiveness and sillage. Because this is... underground is still too kindly put. There is simply nothing. There is so what other fragrances of the house still surpass after 8 hours with ease. Can not understand the reviews in this regard, unfortunately. Or they were achieved by human has tipped over the whole bottle.
I hope not.

Sure, the water is called Whispered Myths. But this is now really too quiet for me

Concept Melon
Imaginary Authors - concepts, not perfumes.

Also in this case, you get a concept that drives the fear sweat in the face of every designer lover.

A shower gel melon that smells more like teen deodorant with a retort artoud.

Paired this makes the summer scent that totally confuses people (and me when I wear it), but is totally pleasant at the same time.

Screams at me now and then from the back of the hand, depending on the time of day either with melon or just Kunstoud.

Crass, but just (I would really understand) not wearable for most.

I finds cool. Somehow

a neural net scoop of ice cream
You can definitely smell the cantaloupe in Imaginary Authors Whispered Myths. The cantaloupe is the entire reason I passed over this fragrance with a “nah, I’m good” dismissal when I first saw the perfume announced. Its distinctive musty-musky honeyed gourd vibe registers immediately, but what’s interesting is that in combination with the accompanying and somewhat competing woody notes of barnacled shipwreck and oud’s scorched earth pungency, the cantaloupe becomes less fruity and more creamy, like if you asked a neural network to come up with a new flavor for artisanal ice cream shop’s daily special board. Cantelurp Cram Cruble with splimter sprankles, anyone?

Stark contrast of oud and cantalope
What a fragrance! Not at all what I expected. Imaginary Authors never cease to amaze me, but this time I don't know whether I'm in over my head.

Whispered Myths opens with a strong note of cantaloupe promising something sweet, but the fragrance is very resinous and leaves me speechless. This is a strong and oud heavy fragrance! I don't think it will please many Western noses, like my own, I think this might be too Middle Eastern for most. Oud is very appreciated in the East and the use of real, natural Cambodian oud in Whispered Myths might be too intimidating for some. This fragrance has me realising that my nose is not ready for real oud!

I am an avid and biased lover of the house of Imaginary Authors, but this one is simply too heavy for me. Though not completely unwearable like some reviewers say on Fragrantica, this is a very unique fragrance that won't please the masses, which in itself makes it thee fragrance for someone who can carry an oud like this.

After dry down, Whispered Myths changes into a more nautical fragrance on my skin hinting at the imagined note of a salvaged shipwreck. A slight note of salt, wet wood and ambrette is what this fragrances is made of.

It isn't even a case of the fragrance leaning too masculine, resinous heavy Whispered Myths is just too linear for me to be pleasant to wear. I need a slightly fresher element, maybe a sweet undertone or an herbal kick to lift it's character, because it almost becomes peppery by being so oud heavy. I don't know whether this is the correct term, but it is very monotone in its nature.

A couple of hours' wear leaves Whispered Myths unchanged on my skin. On paper, the fragrance is much lighter with a fresh note of not too sweet cantaloupe, a nice twist that I would have loved on my skin.
Though still loving Imaginary Authors to bits, Whispered Myths won't become a part of my collection anytime soon, but I am absolutely in awe of their use of real oud.

A Softly Sweet Wood
Right at the beginning I got an almost metallic note but that quickly faded into the predominant notes of cantaloupe and wood. I would say that there aren't any "top, middle, or base" notes because the scent really doesn't change after that. The cantaloupe is nice because it brings a lightness to the scent without overpowering is like most fruit scents will. So you just have a nice woody scent that doesn't make you smell like a tree. It lasted about 5 hours, which is nice because I find most of Imaginary Author's fragrances don't last very long. This one projected nicely for the first few hours but then becomes more of a skin scent.

The only impression I get from this one is must and dust. Hard pass.

It vaguely evokes memories of my grandparents' house. A nostalgic jaunt down memory lane, yet not something I would ever see myself wearing.

The drydown with the oud soaked in honey is good. But I can't stand the 2 hours with the rotten fruit smell.

After an inviting sweet aquatic-fruity opening, this Oud-based Winter fragrance will remain mostly spicy animalic-woody. Male-oriented.

Very animalic dirty oud mixed with a very citrusy and sweet melón. It is a bit weird but when you can understand the perfume is interesting
