Forbidden Grass לעומת A City On Fire

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.
