Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our olfactory narratives.

Where do you ship your fragrances?

We currently offer domestic shipping across the United States and international shipping to select countries. Please note that due to the alcohol content in perfumes, all orders must be shipped via ground transportation.

Can I return a fragrance if I don't like the scent?

We want you to love your story. If a fragrance isn't the right fit, you can return unopened bottles within 30 days of purchase. We highly recommend purchasing our Short Story Collection sample set before committing to a full-sized bottle.

Are your products cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes, all Imaginary Authors scents are vegan and cruelty-free. We never test on animals, and we do not use any animal-derived ingredients in our formulations.

How long does the scent typically last?

Our fragrances are Eau de Parfum concentration, designed to last between 6 to 8 hours on the skin. Longevity can vary based on individual skin chemistry and application.

Do you offer gift wrapping for your 'books'?

Every full-sized bottle comes housed in our signature book-shaped box, making it a perfect gift right out of the shipping package. We also offer the option to include a personalized digital gift note at checkout.

What payment methods do you accept?
