Crackling fireplace logs with roasted chestnuts and vanilla smoke It opens on Cloves, Pink Pepper, Orange Blossom.
By The Fireplace does exactly what its name suggests — it smells like sitting next to a wood fire on a cold winter night. The opening is smoky and slightly sweet with clove and chestnut. Pink pepper adds a subtle spice. The heart is all about guaiac wood and cashmeran, which create a smooth, woody warmth. Vanilla in the base rounds everything out with a creamy sweetness. The smoke note stays present throughout but never becomes overwhelming. This is one of the most atmospheric fragrances ever made. Perfect for the colder months.
