Cape Heartache

I love the scent. I find it both pleasant and enticing. Though the strawberry scent can be perceived as a note of artificial strawberry and not a photo realistic scent, I find that it is still very pleasant. The douglas fur scent is very indicative of a true tree smell and is reminiscent of Christmas time, though with the strawberry scent I find that it couples together well in a way that makes this scent is both spring/summer and winter and therefore very versatile.

Smells like a pine Christmas candle or air air-freshener to me. The pine is very strong, and there’s also a spiciness to it that really makes it read Christmas-y. Extremely strong and I can smell it from a good distance away.

Too much incense

Reminds me of late fall, perfect for those cold days. My girlfriend loves it :)

This is my favorite winter fragrance. Imaginary Authors never disappoints.

Not terrible or unwearable, but to me it has almost a metallic sharpness to the pine/fir, gave me a cheap artificial feeling. It does sweeten up a tad after a while with the strawberry, the fir/pine greatly overpower it. Reminds me of some old spice body washes.

i was so happy with this purchase ! right off the bat it’s definitely a strong pine forest smell but not overpowering in anyway, with a little sweetness (i’m guessing the strawberry) and i do notice those “mountain fog” notes listed on imaginary authors’ website. it has a really light vanilla scent that comes out much more once it’s been worn for long, and the other reviewers are right about its long lasting scent!!! if you apply too much at first like i did once it’ll be a little too strong but it goes away within an hour :)! with the sweet pine, vanilla-y, hazy cold evening notes it’ll be a go to for me for the winter. i really loved this and will probably be buying more samples til i can save up to justify the $50+ full bottle :D !!!!! i would consider this a pretty safe perfume to buy bigger than the 1ml sample :)

PNW born and raised. F/24. This smells like home. It has incredible longevity, and it will be my new go to winter fragrance. I was nervous about smelling like Febreze but every note is authentic and reminiscent to me. I don’t smell the strawberry, at all. That being said, I am perfectly happy with the fragrance and I do not need the strawberry in order to love it, the multifaceted evergreen notes are perfect for me.

This is a pleasant, outdoorsy scent. Right up front it gives you a big hit of evergreen, woody and resinous. The berry sweetness takes the lead a little while later as the wood fades out. If you want to smell like a hazy summer afternoon in the Olympic National Forest, this is the closest thing to it I've ever come across.

Not my kind of fragrance at all, even though it was described with a collection of interesting notes. I was especially excited for the coniferous and other woody notes, but I didn’t get them. Everything was smeared in a sweet but thin incense. The sweetness originally attended the artificial strawberry, but even the strawberry disintegrated into cheap, chalky, sweet incense. 2 stars because it had decent longevity, for those who may like this fragrance, otherwise it would be 1 star.
