A City on Fire Eau de Parfum — Imaginary Authors
Eau de Parfum (EDP) from Imaginary Authors.
Scent description (editorial impression)
A struck match, sulphur and all, and then the bonfire: wearers describe smoke that gets into hair and clothes, with a hint of dark berries if you go looking. It projects hard and lasts; the people it loses call it cheap, acrid, or a match dropped somewhere it should not have been.
Drawn from 12 independent reports across 2 venues.
