Blend No.83

Just received my bottle today! This is truly something magical. The collaboration of Imaginary Authors X Absolut X Kahlua is perfect. A match made in Heaven. Off the very first spray, I’m greeted with straight bitter coffee and rum. At first I was a little off put by the opening; but you need to let the opening ride out. 5 minutes from the initial spray. Coffee takes a seat in the background, and the rum continues to shine with the dark chocolate and “night musk”. THIS is what I have always wanted for a coffee scent. And this was done right. Not too sweet, nor bitter, but the perfect balance. This smells exactly like an espresso martini. Overall; I am over the moon on this first impression. 12/10 My faith has been restored in Imaginary Authors!

I mean, dang this smells good!! Chocolatey coffee liquor bomb. Like a chocolate martini with a shot of espresso and extra sugar. Absolutely delicious. Omg. I wish I had bought a backup bottle. Excellent projection- everyone around you will get hungry. And good longevity- about 6 hours on me. This is a true gourmand fragrance and although it doesn’t have any of the typical aspects that can read as feminine I think it’s unisex. It has quite a tinge of bitterness but that just makes the dark chocolate pop and feel so real. I’m not sure why they discontinued this beauty, maybe too many people slept on it. I’m off to check eBay for another bottle.

it really is a rich chocolate coffee fragrance with the sugar cane and a rum note tying it all together. it starts out pretty bitter but as it develops it gains more sweetness. i wish it lasted as strong for longer but I do not mind reapplying. imaginary authors is one of my top perfume houses and for good reason. 10/10 i cannot get enough and it gets so many compliments!

Finally got a bottle after searching for a few months! This immediately opens with a more mocha kinda coffee with a bit of a sugary vibe. Afterwards it dries down into such a decadent heavy chocolate scent. There is a slight amount of booziness to it as well which adds to the depth of it imo. If you enjoy very chocolate heavy scents, this would be a great one to try!

I preordered this and it's beautiful but very manly for me. The amber and musk base notes project long with the vodka coffee scent that reminds me of what a real jazz club feels like without tobacco notes. The sweetness is really nice too. Great purchase for a guy that wants to dab in sweet note perfume that isn't too feminine.
