Imaginary Authors The Cobra & The Canary Eau de Parfum

$19300
Size

23-year-old Neal Orris is desperately searching for a getaway ticket from his dead end job and the decaying Virginia town where he grew up when a tip from a clairvoyant leads him to a barn housing his deceased father’s secret obsession, a pristine 1964 Shelby Cobra Roadster. His first stop is the tobacco farm where his best friend, Ike, is employed, and the two never look back. Aiming for the Palm Springs race tracks and prize winnings that would keep them afloat, their journey is a blur of seedy motels and stiff drinks, cool swimming pools and hot debutantes, burnt rubber and cigarette smoke. Each stop finds the friends inventing new pseudonyms and personas for themselves, their innocent game hurtling them into the throes of decadence and desolation.

EDITOR'S NOTES

Leather - like the kind you imagine in a new convertible car. This is the fantasy that The Cobra and the Canary entertains, a vision of rubber against hot, sun-blasted asphalt - the heat emanating from the earth redoubled in the aroma of tobacco flower, hay, and orris - all of which sap the scent of its moisture. An unmistakable lemon note - a canary yellow colour, of course - adds brightness and astringency that plays well against the exalted leathery dryness of this fragrance. It’s got wry humour and dry delivery, delivered from a raspy throat.

We find Cobra to be the ideal introduction to leather fragrances, balancing the note’s usual pungent intensity as it is modulated with top and base notes.
