The Cobra and The Canary by Imaginary Authors

Today I am wearing The Cobra and The Canary by Imaginary Authors.

Who thought of that name?!  What does it conjure up – will the cobra eat the canary?  Poor canary. The deadly venum of the cobra is sufficient to kill something as big as an elephant so why a poor tiny fluffy yellow chirping canary?  OK, perhaps it won’t kill it – perhaps they’ll become friends.

Let’s see what the perfume tells us.

Leather, hay, orris and lemon make this a simple construction.  Whilst the lemon passed by fleetingly, it is the other notes that give the perfume an interesting twist.

Orris often smells earthy and damp to me and I can detect a slight mouldy mushroom element to this perfume.  The hay gives it a sweet earthiness to offset the dampness, but overall it is the leather that takes control here and this perfume has a touch of tarmac and newly laid road.

So if you like the smell of tar, or haystacks, or mushrooms then I imagine this is absolutely the perfume for you since it contains all three.

I’m still not sure what happened to the canary (or the cobra) but I think they became good friends and lived happily ever after.
