New from Imaginary Authors: Every Storm a Serenade

by: Jodi Battershell

“I patter on the typewriter all day but the letters on the page are like raindrops on a window. I fear I may be losing my mind.”

—Niels Bjerregaard

And so begins the newest "volume" from Imaginary Authors, Every Storm a Serenade. The first edition attributed to "imaginary author" Niels Bjerregaard (in reality, all "authors" in the series are alter egos of the house's founder and perfumer, Josh Meyer), this latest scent offers green, aromatic and off-season beachy vibes from the coast of Denmark, with Danish spruce a featured note, along with the herbal green of eucalyptus, dry and grassy vetiver and ocean/melon-y notes of Calone, rounded out by ambergris and mist from the Baltic sea.

In keeping with the house's vintage-inspired fanciful design, the label and imagery reflect the notes of the fragrance with cool blues and greens, a white iceberg and the hint of a whale tail disappearing below the water. (The house now credits a creative director, Ashod Simonian, and the entire website has been redesigned to better showcase the beautiful colors and unique imagery for each scent.) The backstory for Every Storm a Serenade evokes romanticism, passion and a profound sense of longing:

"When Stina, a burgeoning writer, decamps to her mother’s summer house for the winter to write a book, her trip overlaps for one day (and one steamy night) with a brawny fisherman named Ulv. While she struggles to gain traction with her novel, her fixation on the mysterious seafarer results in countless unsent letters, the contents of which chronicle the spiraling psyche of lust and longing. Set on the desolate west coast of Denmark during the tourist off-season, Every Storm a Serenade is a meditative masterwork that will lull you with its well-designed sentences and intimate tone."
