Indie brand Imaginary Authors has launched Blend No. 83, a new limited edition fragrance. Blend No. 83 was made in collaboration with Absolut and Kahlúa, and named for the year the espresso martini was invented.
Like the iconic cocktail itself, this Espresso Martini-inspired fragrance by Absolut and Kahlúa is decadent, complex, and utterly irresistible, making for a surprisingly wearable experience. Perfect for any time of day, especially when you’re craving an Espresso Martini.
The year was 1983 and the place was a bar in London. A supermodel told the bartender she didn’t know if she needed a cocktail, a coffee, or both. Forty years later and the rest is history.
Based on the origin story of one of the most popular cocktails in the world, Blend No. 83 is a tale of intrigue and mystery, captivating readers at the first word. Transcending time to blend both the past and the present, an unlikely pair of heroes—a worldly bartender and a world renowned supermodel—emerge to each tell their account of what happened on that fateful night. We all know the ending, but how did we get there? Blend No. 83 invites you to experience the Espresso Martini like never before through a thrilling story filled with glamor, glitz, and cultural icons. You won’t be able to put this one down.
The notes feature dark chocolate, sugar cane rum, arabica coffee, velvety foam, benzoin, night musk and decadence.
Imaginary Authors Blend No. 83 is available now for pre-order at Imaginary Authors, $105 for 50 ml. Shipping will be in late November. If you pre-order, you can also get the "coupe-like" crystal flacon while supplies last, for a $28 shipping fee.
