Details on Imaginary Authors The Soft Lawn

The Soft Lawn by Imaginary Authors is a unique fragrance that captures the essence of a grass tennis court and fresh tennis balls. Created by Josh Meyer, this creative composition combines citrus, green, and synthetic elements to evoke memories of sunny sports days.

How does Imaginary Authors The Soft Lawn smell?

Opens with fresh grapefruit and a unique synthetic tennis ball accord, followed by prominent linden blossom and green ivy notes. The base features vetiver and oakmoss, creating a fresh, green, and slightly synthetic character that perfectly captures the atmosphere of a well-maintained tennis court.

Where is the tennis ball?

Unfortunately, it doesn't smell like tennis balls or a tennis court to me, but rather like a typically fresh, dull, slightly bourgeois men's fragrance. It is a bit synthetic and slightly rubbery, but I mainly smell linden blossom, ivy, and some grapefruit. Rather less niche, but very straightforward and probably quite nice to wear in summer if you like such scent profiles. Doesn't bother me, but doesn't excite me either.

Special, but not meant negatively.

"The Soft Lawn" is definitely something creatively unusual, which is certainly due to the synthetic "tennis ball" note. Some people might associate it with the occasional nice game of tennis in the summer, while others primarily smell plastic and wonder: what is that about? The specific tennis note is joined by something fresh that outlasts the synthetics for a long time. Generally a fragrance with surprisingly long longevity.
