A Whiff of Waffle Cone by Imaginary Authors is a perfect gourmand niche perfume. The mouthwatering fragrance is built with a signature sandalwood accord that creates a "...crumbly, powdery, extremely textural element that actually triggers memories of sinking your teeth into a crunchy waffle cone." On top of the cone sits the iconic sweet, creamy dessert. Topped with a sprinkle of sophistication.

The Story
More of a Howdtheydoit? Than a Whodunnit? This magical tale will sweep you back to simpler times and envelop you in a warm blanket of nostalgia. At the center of the novel is an ice cream shoppe with mysterious powers. Upon entering, customers are hit with “A Whiff of Waffle Cone” and immediately transported to different periods of their life. Ping-ponging through four generations of rich family history and tender community connections, a narrative emerges that threads a message of hope and togetherness unlike any other. And rather than dipping into an expected sugary sweetness, the melange of voices rings honest and true, making this a highly respected coming-of-age story you’ll want to revisit again and again.

When to Wear
With a decadent complexity and warmth, this extremely wearable scent will make you as desirable as a luxurious scoop from Salt & Straw. Don’t blame us if a line forms.

FYI
Originally created in collaboration with the boutique ice cream company, Salt & Straw, the fragrance was updated in Fall 2023. The main change? Here's what Imaginary Authors has to say:

"We saw an opportunity to improve on this formula that excited everyone around. The adjustments to the cinnamon accord gave us an undeniably more robust experience, a fragrance that subtly shifted in such special and surprising ways beyond that first initial blast. It was more delicous, more elegant, more wearable. We were floored." — Josh Meyer, Perfumer & Ashod Simonian, Creative Director
