Last September the first LA Artisan Fragrance Salon was held in Santa Monica, California. I was unable to attend, but a kind friend acted as my surrogate and obtained samples from brands that were participating that were not familiar to me. One of the brands that came in the fun box she sent was called Imaginary Authors, featuring great artwork and packaging, along with a fun concept. Perfumer Josh Meyer has created a line based on books that have never been written by authors who never lived. Each perfume bottle is wrapped in what looks like the cover art of a book, and the website gives author biographies and excerpts. I was delighted by the idea and more delighted when I covered my arms with all seven scents at once and found them to be intriguing

As a special treat to CaFleureBon readers, Josh is offering a full sample set to THREE lucky commenters. The winners of the random draw are Esperanza, David and Jim. Please email michelyn@cafleurebon.com with IMAGINARY AUTHORS as your subject and your complete mailing details by November 25, 2012 1 PM EST
