Details

Perfumer

Cape Heartache by Imaginary Authors is a unique woody fragrance launched in 2013 that combines the rugged essence of Pacific Northwest forests with an unexpected sweet strawberry note. Created by Josh Meyer, this scent tells the story of a foggy morning in a wooden cabin surrounded by pine and fir trees, with wild strawberries growing nearby.

Scent Description

A complex blend of Douglas fir, pine resin, and hemlock fir creates a strong woody-resinous base, while a prominent sweet strawberry note adds an unexpected fruity contrast. Forest accord and vanilla leaf provide additional depth, while a misty note adds atmosphere. The combination creates a unique sweet-woody experience that's both natural and slightly artificial.

Sweet Berry Tales in a Misty Forest
Cape Heartache has captivated the fragrance community with its unique juxtaposition of sweet wild strawberries against a backdrop of misty Pacific Northwest forests. This beloved creation from Imaginary Authors masterfully balances the sweetness of ripe strawberries with robust pine, fir, and hemlock notes, creating an atmospheric journey that transports wearers to a cozy cabin surrounded by ancient trees. While some praise its excellent longevity and evocative nature, others note the synthetic quality of the strawberry note. The fragrance leans slightly feminine but maintains its unisex appeal, performing best in fall and winter. It's a scent that tells a story of forest adventures and sweet nostalgia, perfect for casual wear and evening occasions.
