A City on Fire

Inspiration
In the imagination of Imaginary Authors, A City on Fire is a dark graphic novel about two "match-makers": Rupert fabricates matches in a waterfront factory, while Frances writes a dating column for the city paper. Both are nocturnal recluses who observe from afar, until they witness the same high-profile murder and must team up as an unlikely pair to clear their names.

The Olfactive Composition
Notes: Cade Oil, Spikenard, Cardamom, Clearwood, Dark Berries, Labdanum, Burnt Match

The Signature of A City on Fire
At the heart of this composition lies a refined smoke accord. Cade oil, distilled from juniper wood, brings a dry, tarry smoke, while spikenard adds an earthy, almost leathery depth. Cardamom and dark berries provide a cool-spicy and juicy contrast, so the smoke never turns heavy. Clearwood and labdanum lend a warm, resinous base, and the burnt match accord captures the story in a single sparking moment.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, A City on Fire is one of the most restrained and stylish smoky scents we know: dark, yet with an elegant austerity. A scent for evenings in the city, worn with confidence.
