Imaginary Authors Dipped in Chocolate — the gourmand fragrance of 2024
Dipped in Chocolate Eau de Parfum by Imaginary Authors is a unisex fragrance from 2024 with a noticeable sillage and a distinctive gourmand character.
This eau de parfum is for those who love rich, sweet compositions with spicy, balsamic and woody nuances.
The name Dipped in Chocolate immediately sets the mood: the fragrance feels like an invitation to a cozy coffee shop, where a plate of warm waffles, a bar of dark chocolate and a box of spices are waiting nearby.
At the same time, the composition is not limited to a single dessert note — sandalwood, benzoin and cardamom make the scent deeper, warmer and more intriguing.
The character and mood of the composition
At the heart of the fragrance is a chocolate-vanilla accord with a soft waffle nuance.
Vanilla adds creamy sweetness, chocolate provides density and an appetizing velvety quality, while waffles create a light, crisp facet that keeps the fragrance lively rather than flat.
Cardamom adds a spicy spark and slightly balances the sweetness. Benzoin enhances the warm balsamic character, while sandalwood creates a smooth woody base.
Together, these nuances create a cozy, noticeable and enveloping perfume image.
Who will enjoy Dipped in Chocolate
The fragrance is presented as unisex and develops equally harmoniously on women and men.
It will appeal to fans of gourmand perfumery, sweet woody compositions and fragrances that easily become part of a personal style.
Its noticeable sillage makes Dipped in Chocolate especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, dates, walks or intimate gatherings.
In hot weather, the sweet character may feel denser, so it is best to apply the perfume sparingly in summer.
Dosage and longevity
The optimal amount of Dipped in Chocolate to apply to the skin is 1–2 sprays: this is enough for the composition to remain noticeable without overwhelming the space.
1–2 sprays are also recommended on clothing, taking the distance and the delicacy of the fabric into account.
The eau de parfum unfolds softly and gradually, moving from a sweetly spicy impression to a warm chocolate-woody aura.
No separate pyramid of top, middle and base notes is listed in the available information, so it is more accurate to perceive the fragrance as a cohesive composition in which the accords intertwine.
The perfumer and the brand’s philosophy
Dipped in Chocolate was created by Josh Meyer, a self-taught perfumer and the creator of Imaginary Authors’ creative concept.
The brand was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2012 and builds its communication around the idea of fragrances as literary stories.
This release clearly reflects the house’s signature approach: the perfume does not simply list notes, but offers a mood and a small story.
Dipped in Chocolate sounds like a sweet, warm and slightly nostalgic chapter that can be interpreted in your own way.
