The fragrance features Fig, Whipped Cream, Woody Notes, Walnut, Iris, Tonka Bean and Fruity Notes. From Imaginary Authors: "Yesterday Haze, the subtly sinister follow-up to Lenora Blumberg's acclaimed debut Violet Disguise, tells the story of a farmer's wife who, after maintaining a decades-long affair with a crop duster pilot, decides to come clean to her husband, who also happens to be her lover's employer. 'Just as sunsets are more beautiful on hazy days,' Blumberg wrote, 'so, too, are the memories of yesterday.' Set in California's tranquil and dusty San Joaquin Valley, the elaborate tale unfolds like a dream, delicately shifting perceptions like the colors of a dimming dusk."
