Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - By the Fireplace

A modern cult classic that captures the essence of crackling wood and toasted sweetness. Hugely comforting and atmospheric, By the Fireplace is an enveloping, smoky gourmand that balances nostalgia with sophistication.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Woody Chestnut

A solid, affordable take on the beloved By the Fireplace, Woody Chestnut delivers that signature cosy vibe, but be warned - the clove is dialled right up here and not everyone's a fan. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser for those who adore warm, woody spices.

Season and Occasion Fit

By the Fireplace

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

With its smoky, sweet, and warm balsamic tones, By the Fireplace thrives in cold weather, wrapping the wearer in a cozy aura. The heavy, woody and gourmand aspects can feel cloying in heat but shine in fall and especially winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and comforting, inviting profile suit dates and casual outings, while the smoky sweetness works for formal events with personality. The scent is too enveloping and gourmand for sport or high-activity scenarios, and may be too distinctive for conservative offices.

Woody Chestnut

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

With strong longevity and impressive sillage, this leans away from a subtle office wear. Its warm, inviting character makes it perfect for date nights and casual outings, while its depth can hold its own at some formal events, though it's not a classic 'formal' scent. Definitely skip for sporty activities.
