A City On Fire مقابل Cape Heartache

City on Fire by Imaginary Authors receives mixed-to-negative feedback from the r/fragrance community. While it succeeds in delivering a strong smoky scent with good performance, most reviewers find the particular character of the smoke unpleasant—described as artificial, electric, or concrete-like rather than warm or church-like. The fragrance is largely overshadowed by more universally praised alternatives in the smoky/incense category.

The r/fragrance community views perfume collecting as a legitimate hobby and form of self-care that enriches life through sensory appreciation and emotional connection. Members appreciate the accessibility through samples and decants, the artistic quality of fragrances, and how the hobby supports personal growth and self-esteem without requiring excessive spending.
