   Imaginary Authors knows how to compose, and O, Unknown! (2017) is proof. Give it a little time and Orris with Black Tea comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about O, Unknown!. The heart is the best part for me: Orris and Black Tea feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   A friend passed me a decant of O, Unknown! (2017) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The heart is the best part for me: Orris and Black Tea feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. The composition is well made but not for me.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   I picked up O, Unknown! (2017) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Give it a little time and Orris with Black Tea comes forward — smooth and well done.

   A couple of wears in, O, Unknown! has really grown on me. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Orris with Black Tea comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   A decant of O, Unknown! sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Orris and Black Tea feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day.

    My first Imaginary Authors experience was this one, O, Unknown! (2017). After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Orris with Black Tea, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Orris and Black Tea feel carefully balanced. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.
