Josh: 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. “When I saw you, all I saw was a swirl of smoke in the streetlight. Elusive. Sinister. Spectacular.” -Machus

Dave: Cardamom-spiced smoke drying to resinous labdanum and woods. Opens intense and dark, finishes warm and cozy. City on Fire was a finalist for the 2015 Art and Olfaction Award in the Artisan category. 

A City on Fire Notes: Cade oil, spikenard, cardamom, clearwood, dark berries, labdanum & burnt match.
