Slow Explosions from Imaginary Authors, released in 2016 and composed by Josh Meyer, is a saffron and leather scent that people describe in several ways at once: spicy, sweet, woody, floral, resinous and leathery all appear in equal measure, which says something about how blended it is.
The six notes are given as a single list. Saffron is the lead, warm, slightly medicinal and leathery on its own, and it is paired with actual leather for a soft, suede-like effect. Apple brings a fresh, juicy sweetness that lightens the opening, and rose adds a floral thread without turning it into a rose scent. Benzoin gives a resinous, vanilla-tinged warmth, and cashmeran a musky, woody softness that carries the drydown.
It is worn by anyone. Wearers are evenly split between long lasting and moderate longevity, and sillage is moderate for most, strong for a third. Autumn is the top season with winter second, and day and night are voted almost equally. It suits someone who wants a soft, spicy leather that works from the office to the evening in cooler months.
