The outside remained simple and nondescript but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff’s son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles was always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJosh Meyer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003esweet mint, tangerine, Southern magnolia, bourbon, grisalva, sugar cube, crushed ice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imaginary Authors","offers":[{"title":"50ml Eau de Parfum","offer_id":39007014729,"sku":"IMA-SAI-50","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14ml EdP Travel Spray","offer_id":12120738431078,"sku":"IMA-SAI-14","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2ml Spray Sample","offer_id":39007014921,"sku":"IMA-SAI-S","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/2605\/products\/Imaginary_Authors_Saint_Julep_425.jpeg?v=1564619593"},{"product_id":"sundrunk","title":"Sundrunk","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Clementine Cope set foot in snow deeper than her knees, she knew it was for the last time.

Twenty-two year-old Annlynn Browne has just moved from St. Louis, Missouri, to Lower Manhattan in pursuit of her Broadway dreams. To make ends meet, she juggles multiple jobs—and because she is a self-proclaimed “Extrovert for romance,” she also juggles multiple lovers. For better or worse, she loves with a nondiscriminating enthusiasm that her suitors find intoxicating, but no amount of affection can outshine her love of the city itself. Unfortunately, that is the one relationship that isn’t loving her back. While a motley mix of men, women, and others vie for her life-affirming attention, Annlynn struggles to stay afloat, all while maintaining the compelling ease of a girl who’s got it all figured out. You, Me, and an Espresso Martini is an exuberant depiction of decadence, deception, and a life lived to the absolute fullest—a riveting story that’ll keep you up all night and reintroduce you to your lust for life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003edark chocolate, coffee liqueur, velvety foam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFYI\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e11oz soy blend with cotton wick\u003cbr\u003e55 hour burn time\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imaginary Authors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47329636385013,"sku":"IMA-YOU-CANDLE","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/2605\/files\/You_Me_and_an_Espresso_Martini_candle_by_Imaginary_Authors.jpg?v=1763781517"},{"product_id":"first-peach-of-the-season","title":"First Peach of the Season","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFirst Peach of the Season\u003c\/em\u003e is a saucy and sweet take on the erotic fiction genre, imagining a lit-student love fest set in the 1990s, told up close and personal through its fantasy-ready fragrance composition.

She meets the affable and patient Hollis Stone in her Jane Austen study group, the only boy enrolled in her women’s lit class. Having been raised as the son of a gospel singing single mother in rural Georgia, he is measured, respectful, and gracious. But having learned everything he knows about love from an older woman with very specific kinks—his first and only relationship—he brings a level of experience and quiet confidence most of his classmates lack. Their dry humor and shared love of 90s sitcom references pull them together but it’s their willingness to explore that pushes their relationship far beyond their wildest fantasies. Putting the play into “foreplay” and the game into “good, giving, and game,” First Peach of the Season takes the erotic fiction genre out of the darkness and replaces trite devilish desires with good, old-fashioned fun. Early reviewers have called it “Horny and hilarious,” “Like sex in the sun,” and “The instructional manual I wish I would’ve had when I was in college.” In other words, it’s so good you might want to buy two copies!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemories This Fragrance May Conjure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCinemax After Dark, Sumptuous body care products from the 1990s, Waking up next to the one that got away\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemories This Fragrance May Create\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lackadaisical but lascivious day spent in a hotel room high above the city with the curtains open wide, A spring afternoon rolling around in the park, A long shower with the one you love\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eyellow peach, bigarade (bitter orange), Chantilly cream, jasmine lactone, honeydew melon, benzoin, soft flesh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imaginary Authors","offers":[{"title":"50ml Eau de Parfum","offer_id":48050788958453,"sku":"IMA-FIR-50","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14ml EdP Travel Spray","offer_id":48050788991221,"sku":"IMA-FIR-14","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2ml Spray Sample","offer_id":48050789023989,"sku":"IMA-FIR-S","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/2605\/files\/First_Peach_of_the_Season_50ml_by_Imaginary_Authors.jpg?v=1776807193"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/2605\/collections\/IA.jpg?v=1632861390","url":"https:\/\/ministryofscent.com\/collections\/imaginary-authors\/peach.oembed","provider":"Ministry of Scent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
