Description
Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze Eau de Parfum is a gourmand hallucination whipped up from fruits, nuts and delicate florals enveloped in a dream of velvety cream. All Imaginary Authors scents are inspired by fictional works of literature by equally made-up writers and Lenora Blumberg’s Yesterday Haze is a novel of a life viewed through the seductive gauze of sentimentality. In her romantic reminiscence of a former lover, the novel’s protagonist ponders: “Just as sunsets are more beautiful on hazy days, so too are the memories of yesterday.”
Yesterday Haze is a bit like Proust’s iconic madeleine: its delicate revelations of cream, laced with the caramel woodiness of walnut and decadently draped over fig is a voluptuous descent into nostalgia. A wonderfully sentimental contrast to all the lactonic richness, speckles of powdery sweet iris add a touch of vintage beauty. The floaty velour backdrop of tonka bean is a smooth whisper of vanilla and the wistful wisps of tree bark hint at a far of forest veiled in musky mist.
On one hand, Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze is a scent of yearning that trails into the past, but Yesterday Haze is no damsel in distress. She’s a sensual pleasure to be indulged in now! The sumptuous ambrosia of fleshy fruit drenched in floral liqueur teamed with salty sweet nuts – all folded into a bed of whipped cream – calls out to be served up in a bowl, and wholeheartedly gobbled up.
Yesterday Haze lures us towards her with her teary-eyed look into the past. Underneath it all she’s a decadent confection devised to seduce. Ethereal as imagined air, this romantic vision clouded by cream has been made real. No need to lament lost time when Yesterday Haze allows you to have your cake and eat it!
Synopsis: “Yesterday Haze,” the subtly sinister follow-up to Lenora Blumberg’s acclaimed debut “Violet Disguise,” tells the story of a farmer’s wife who, after maintaining a decades-long affair with a crop duster pilot, decides to come clean to her husband (who also happens to be her lover’s employer). “The memory of him is a rifle in my mouth,” Blumberg wrote, “and the scent of fig its trigger.” Set in California’s tranquil and dusty San Joaquin Valley, the elaborate tale unfolds like a dream, delicately shifting perceptions like the colors of a dimming dusk.”
