CAPE HEARTACHE
Cape Heartache is the lone American contribution to Philip Sava’s wildly popular series of exploration novels. It is based loosely on an expedition he made to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally regarded as the most candid of his works. Revolving around a homestead he built in a coastal grove of old growth trees, the novel documents his romance with a young woman who was a descendent of the Nehalem Tribe. Its themes of leaving the familiar and finding comfort and solace in a new place still resonate today.
Imaginary Authors
Imaginary Authors was founded by Josh Meyer in Portland, Oregon, after he quite his job in real estate to pursue niche perfumery in 2012. The fragrance house formulate wildly unique fragrances born from the concept of scent as art and art as provocation. Like a good book, these scents are designed to inspire.
Each bottle houses a layered narrative that are sure to generate stirring conversation, and perhaps even change the course of your own personal story. They not only invigorate and intoxicate, but also take the wearer to new places. Each Imaginary Authors fragrance follows a compelling storyline peppered with intriguing twists. Every scent comes with its own fictional synopsis, but it’s left to the wearer bring the story to life.
”I wanted to create something that bled fun—as opposed to the business world, which simply wasn’t fun to me anymore. I want the folks experiencing Imaginary Authors to be able to see the fun in every single aspect that comes out of the line.“
— Josh Meyer, founder
