Imaginary Authors was created in Portland, Oregon by Josh Meyer, a self-taught perfumer who started experimenting with fragrance formulas in his basement around 2010. He partnered with creative director Ashod Simonian, whose illustrated artwork appears on every bottle, and the pair launched the brand's debut line of seven scents in 2012, each built around an invented book and its invented author. Meyer has since released dozens of fragrances through the label, including 'Memoirs of a Trespasser' and 'Cape Heartache.'
