Sundrunk by Imaginary Authors is a bright, nostalgic fragrance launched in 2018. It captures the essence of summer memories with a fizzy citrus opening and floral undertones. Created by Josh Meyer, this scent aims to evoke memories of sun-soaked afternoons and refreshing orange sodas.
Opens with a vibrant burst of fizzy orange zest and rhubarb, creating an effervescent citrus accord. The heart reveals neroli and honeysuckle notes, while a subtle rose water base adds a clean, slightly soapy finish. The overall impression is of a sparkling, fresh citrus-floral composition.
For me, this was a really weak scent; I could almost not smell it, but it wasn't bad. It smelled a bit like a citrus soap, but after a while, the soapy smell faded a bit, although it was still there. Then it became this beautiful, elegant fragrance with orange, rhubarb, and a bit of soap.
"Sundrunk" is like a sun-drenched afternoon captured in fragrance form. Sparkling, playful, and slightly nostalgic. The citrus notes feel juicy and natural, almost as if you were holding a freshly peeled orange in your hand. At the same time, the fragrance has a soft, almost creamy base that makes it rounder and less "sharp" than many pure summer scents. Referencing the traditional English song "Oranges and Lemons," "Sundrunk" recalls exactly that childlike lightness and rhythmic freshness: Just as the song lists various bells of London, creating a bright, almost playful mood, the fragrance unfolds in vibrant, citrusy facets – lively, light, and a bit dreamy.
