Description
SUNDRUNK by Imaginary Authors is a radiant, citrus-infused scent that captures the exhilaration of a sun‑drenched summer adventure. Its lively blend of sweet orange and tart rhubarb is reminiscent of orange soda on a hot beach day, bursting open with juicy freshness. The heart unfurls with creamy neroli and honeysuckle, balanced by airy rose water for a breezy floral lift, while the base settles into subtle hibiscus and gentle aquatic green notes. The overall impression is spectacularly uplifting, playful, and nostalgic, recalling the carefree joy of youthful escapes and long afternoons in the sun. Created by Josh Meyer for unisex.
