Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Slow Explosions evolves as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Imaginary Authors is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.

When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a juicy exotic mood: Apple, Benzoin, Cashmeran, Leather accord, Rose and Saffron. In this format 6 notes work as one coherent layer, creating sweet sensation of summer nectar that reads as cohesive from the start.

The middle and base stages are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.

The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.

At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fruit, Balsamic, Musk and Leather. The framework further includes Floral and Spicy. At family level the composition sits in Fruit and Spicy.

Taken together Slow Explosions holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
