Launched in 2014 by Imaginary Authors, A City On Fire is a Woody Aromatic fragrance created by perfumer Josh Meyer. This composition captures the essence of a bustling urban landscape — smoky and earthy with undertones of fresh spice and herbal notes. The opening hints at crisp, aromatic freshness that gradually gives way to a warm, woody base infused with amber. It's a scent that evokes the feeling of being immersed in a city's energy, where the tension between fresh, spicy elements and smoky warmth creates a dynamic olfactory experience.

Application Tips
Apply A City On Fire to pulse points for maximum impact. The smoky and herbal notes are most pronounced initially but settle into a warm woody base that lasts throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that captures the energy of urban life without overpowering it.

The story behind the bottle.
The rush of morning commuters on a city street, where the smell of coffee mixes with exhaust fumes and fresh air.
