Winter Nights vs A City On Fire

Winter Nights by Dasein is viewed positively by the r/fragrance community as a solid seasonal choice, particularly for Christmas and winter months. While specific performance details are minimal in these discussions, multiple users have included it in their holiday fragrance rotations, suggesting reliable quality and appropriate seasonal character for those seeking forest and woody notes.

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.
