  You have to distinguish between an experimental perfume with nuances and one that simply encapsulates a repulsive odor: it smells like a clogged fireplace smoke, the kind that forces you to run out. It projects intensely for 1.5 meters; you can tell they tried to give it a bitter, dry touch with labdanum and juniper, but they fail to fix it. It took effort to leave it on to test longevity, and I doubt I’ll use it again. After an hour, it calms down a bit, dropping projection to about 20cm and becoming more bearable, though not pleasant, with that punch of smoke; the other notes don’t manage to lower the mix. By two hours, it turns green and settles, lingering at 5cm by the third hour, which makes it dangerous: you lean in close and it smells like a direct hit of pepper, leaving you defeated. Starting from the sixth hour, you can finally notice a fresh touch behind the smoke, making it pleasant, lasting on skin until the shower. Scent: 1/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 8/10 Emotional: No Originality: 7/10 Price: 95€ (50ml) Recommended: Low.

  You have to distinguish between an experimental perfume with nuances and one that simply encapsulates a repulsive odor, like a chimney fire that’s clogged and accumulating until you’re forced to flee. This smells exactly like smoke, with intense projection reaching 1.5 meters from the very first moment. You can tell they tried to use labdanum and juniper to add a bitter, dry touch, but it doesn’t fix it; it took effort to even wear it to test longevity, and I doubt I’ll use it again. After an hour, it calms down a bit, dropping projection to about 20cm and becoming more bearable, though still unpleasant with that punch of smoke; the other notes don’t soften the mix. By two hours, it turns green and settles down, lingering at 5cm by the third hour, which makes it dangerous: you lean in close and it smells like a direct hit of pepper, leaving you defeated. Starting from the sixth hour, you can finally notice a fresh touch behind the smoke, making it pleasant, lasting on skin until the shower. Scent: 1/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 8/10 Originality: 7/10 Price: 95€ (50ml) Recommended: Low.

  Seems like a fragrance made for art, not for wearing. City on Fire literally smells like burning. While it mellows later with green notes and decent longevity, the first hours are intense and likely unpleasant for many.

  A fragrance meant to be treated as art, not as perfume. City on Fire literally smells like burning. It does mellow down a bit afterward, though it maintains great projection and longevity, with some green notes appearing; however, the first hours are an intense smell that will surely be unpleasant for many.

  On my skin, it smells like black olives.

  Smells more like burnt wood than smoky, with a resinous and spicy base. It doesn’t give that cozy homey vibe; it feels like post-fire, ready to go out at night. The spicy touch makes it lean more masculine than unisex. The downside is low performance in projection, sillage, and longevity.
