Decisions, Decisions

Decisions, Decisions by Imaginary Authors is a highly unique and polarizing fragrance that diverges from typical white floral or sweet gourmands. While it features notes like tuberose, sarsaparilla, labdanum, and geranium, its character leans heavily into a resinous, woody, and slightly medicinal oriental profile. It opens with a fizzy, fruity-sweet burst reminiscent of root beer and bubblegum, but quickly evolves into a complex, dusty floral with a deep amber and labdanum base. The scent carries a vintage head shop incense vibe—dark, sweet, slightly chewed-up, and evoking old apothecary stores. The drydown reveals a honeyed, resinous, and subtly animalic tuberose with amber and woodiness, making it feel rich and layered. It performs well, lasting moderately to long with moderate to strong sillage, particularly in winter and evening wear. It appeals most to those seeking a daring, niche, character-driven scent that stands out, though not for those wanting a clean or casual floral experience.
