Cape Heartache

Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors delivers a highly distinctive olfactory journey, blending pine, fir, hemlock, and vanilla with a prominent strawberry note that some find artificial and synthetic, others describe as natural, fresh, or evocative of strawberry candy or harvest. The composition starts with a bold, resinous woody opening that quickly softens into a sweet, fuzzy dry down with hints of vanilla and cream. Longevity is impressive, lasting up to 12 hours or more, with moderate projection and sillage that lingers through the day without being overpowering. While often praised for its authenticity of forest-like dryness, originality, and evocative nostalgia, the wearability hinges on one's acceptance of a synthetic strawberry note that can dominate or fade on some skin types. It leans unisex but may feel slightly feminine to some due to the sweetness. Not suitable for spring or hot weather, it shines best in autumn and winter. Ideal for outdoor activities, fall walks, or when seeking a unique, artistic scent that tells a story rather than relying on traditional masculine or floral notes.
