    “When I saw you, all I saw was a swirl of smoke in the streetlight. Elusive. Sinister. Spectacular.”
    -Machus

    A brilliantly dark graphic novel, A City On Fire, is the story of two match-makers. Rupert literally fabricates matches in a factory on the waterfront while Frances writes a dating column for the city’s newspaper. Both are recluses who haunt the night’s shadows observing clandestine activities from afar but never partaking. That changes one fortuitous evening when they are both witness to the same high-profile murder and are forced to come together as an unlikely vigilante pair in order to save their own names.

    This scent is literally on fire - dark with firewood and spice, evoking both urban landscapes and the great outdoors, with smoke plumes rising into the air. The refined smoke accord makes this an austere and luxurious scent.

    Pinesol?!

    I wanted to love this because it's so smokey in the bottle but something with my chemistry makes this smell like dollar store pinesol and baby wipes after 20 minutes. Definitely not for me

    It smells exactly like the cozy bonfire I hoped it would.

    Smoky and odd

    Smoky, woody, smoky, woody, smoky
    Like a campfire
    Too weird for daily wear but maybe layered with something to soften it up?

    Smudged pubic hair filled with vomit

    This is the worst smell I’ve ever encountered. It smells like someone filled a warehouse with dead bugs, pubes, cremains, and hot sauce and torched it to get rid of a Saturn sized demon in a thousand year old attic that lives on Indian food. Do not waste your money I want to die.

    Not a blind buy but i knew what it smelled like before i bought it. It is pure smoke of the best kind. Campfire smoke. Mmmmmmm

    STRONG

    Overall, not a bad smell. However, the smell is strong and sticks around. For most perfumes this is great but for this one, I wish the smell settled into something a little softer.

    Amazing Smokey Scent

    Tried a sample of this. Reminds me of Le Labo Patchouli 24. Starts off with delicious cade & smoke and then dries down into something softer. Not too strong, not too light. Will be buying a bottle soon.

    It smells a bit acrid and dull.

    I was hoping this would smell like a bonfire. However instead it smells like exactly what it's called. The smell of burning buildings isn't warm or inviting and instead sneaks like acrid smoke. Stale and dull. Not a fan at all.

    Smells like it’s name

    I thought it would have a twist . But it literally smells like burning smoke , like around a bonfire or something . They were honest, but not a smell I would wear , unless I am sitting around a bonfire perhaps.
