The Scoop

“Tomorrow I will fight but tonight I recline into a sweet dream of muddled mint and ice.”
– Milton Nevers

On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights, and a jukebox donated by the sheriff’s son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize, and dance their troubles away. They called their ramshackle juke joint Saint Julep and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where “the smiles was always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint.”

This scent is like a mint julep in the heat of the south, complete with invigorating mint leaves and a light bourbon body, with an added "ice" accord, sugar and a hint of magnolia. All of this adds up to arguably the perfect hot-weather scent.

Here's what other people are saying about Saint Julep...

I have been looking for a soft mint scent for summer and decided to give this a try. On me, this was decidedly more masculine than what I like to wear. This has a nice "cocktail" smell to it and I love it on my partner. If anyone knows of a softer more feminine mint scent, I'm all ears!

This is a hard pass for me, just like another reviewer wrote. I get absolutely none of the mentioned notes. On me it opens awful and remains that way for a long time. Where's the mint, tangerine, sugar, magnolia, bourbon and ice? I perhaps smell the grisalva?...something very chemical. That is all I smell. This scent reminds me so much of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Weird I know, but they both project the very same yucky note on me that makes me want to scrub it all off and never go back to it. They are so similar on me in that respect that I went to look up the listed notes in both scents to see if there was any overlap, but I didn't notice anything that could be the obvious culprit ingredient. Saint Julep is so not what I had expected.

Ordered a sample and this is just a hard pass. This smells like a savory meat loaf on my skin...and the sugar is like the syrup dip... It wears off eventually but not worth it for me.

A standout for me from Imaginary Authors' line. The bourbon stays a lovely constant beneath the sugar cube and crushed ice tone on my skin, and the mint allows things to stay fresh without dipping too much into the bourbon. It lasts several hours on my skin without the need to refresh, and the sillage is there but not over-powering. Personally I will be purchasing the full-sized bottle and wearing it consistantly.

5/5 for concept execution. I can't take a points off just because bourbon isn't *my* drink of choice. So fun.

By Anonisme - Business from Boston on 11/9/2020

This is nicely done. It's a little too sugary for me? But really nicely done, if you want to smell like a sexy mint julep this is for you.

There is something about Saint Julep which keeps me coming back for another noseful hearty sniff. The grisalva note gives it a...fabric softener sheet smell the same smell and feeling when your favorite shirt comes straight out of the dryer. The southern magnolia gives Saint Julep a tinge of almost lemony rose. I don't get any of the crushed ice accord at first, but it eventually comes around, although it could be completely in my mind. Does it truly smell like a mint julep over ice sipped while sitting under magnolia trees. Absolutely. Wonderfully executed.

By Rachel - Office Manager from Williamsburg on 1/1/2020

Ordered the traveler size...very nice. Not terribly long lasting, but nice for summer. Then bought the full bottle and it has only the slightest hint of the scent in the traveler.. Very disappointed. I could probably take a bath in this stuff without it registering.

By Brenda - Dfjdhh from Rhlighidhu on 9/2/2018

The juiciness up top fades out rather quickly, but the lovely mint-and-simple-syrup effect remains while a remarkably airy mineral-and-wood (bourbon) drydown slllloowwwwly comes into focus. My notes on this one include words like “restless,” and “weathered wood.” A fragrance that feels like a dream you had after the night you finally got around to reading Flannery O’Connor and realized you liked her.

By Angela - editor from Seattle on 11/23/2017

This completely exceeded my expectations. I took this sample with me on vacation and I quickly realized it was one of the best summer scents I've ever experienced. The mint in this is unlike any other mint note i've smelled before. This mint note is dominant throughout the fragrance and smells of fresh mint leaves smacked to release the essential oils. The main reason I find this fragrance surprised me so much was how realistic to a real cocktail it was. In the first few hours after I spray, there's a sticky sugar note similar to that of simple syrup and also what seems to be a smell of ice or chill that is extraordinary. Finally, the fragrance dries down to a subtle bourbon note along with mint. Will purchase a full bottle soon.
