Sale price£94.95

Synopsis
When a tip from a clairvoyant leads 23-year-old Neal Orris to a rural Connecticut barn housing his deceased father’s secret obsession, a pristine 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster, it is the getaway ticket he was desperately searching for. After liberating his best friend Ike from his dead-end job on the family farm, the two hit the open highway. Aiming for the Palm Springs race tracks, their journey is a blur of seedy motels, cool swimming pools, hot debutantes, cocktails, and cigarette smoke. Each stop finds the friends inventing new pseudonyms and personas for themselves, their innocent game hurtling into the depths of decadence and desolation.

When to wear this fragrance
Don this scent on hot, hazy weekdays when you can put your life on hold and enjoy a simple luxury like a fast drive in the country.

Fresh, evocative and fun

I found the notes of this fragrance quite intriguing when browsing online, but Memoirs of a Trespasser was the one I ultimately picked.
When it arrived, the box included a sample of The Cobra & The Canary so naturally I tried that out too. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! So much so that I brought it on holiday with me as it does have a very summery vibe,

It definitely evokes sunny memories for me and that's part of its charm, so if you don't have a romanticised image of hot asphalt on hazy days, this may not appeal. I dislike fruity fragrances in general but the lemon note goes very well with the leather here.

The sillage is good, projection is average, longevity is average. For me, that has been the typical experience with Imaginary Authors fragrances.
It's determinedly unisex through and through, in my view, with a confident and adventurous overall impression.

Perfumes are a big purchase for me, but this was so addictive I couldn't resist. If you like fairly bold fragrances and you generally enjoy IA perfumes, I think you'll find this one compelling.

"Amazing! I love it!" says my son.

I ordered this for my son who loves modern perfumes. He had spoken of it and knew all the background to the name and the top notes, base notes etc.. It was a birthday present and was a big hit. It's a very exciting, unusual and masculine scent.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Slickboys. They could not have been more personally helpful and attentive. I recommend them highly and hope to buy from them again in the future.
