A City On Fire Imaginary Authors
The fragrance features Burnt Match, Juniper, Labdanum, Nard Himalayan (Jatamansi), Cardamom and Wild Berries. "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. Imaginary Authors developed this fragrance exclusively for Machus, a modern menswear retailer focused on forward concepts and clean classics in Portland's Lower East Burnside neighborhood." NOTES: Cade oil, Spikenard, Cardamom, Clearwood, Dark Berries, Labdanum & Burnt Match.
