Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - By the Fireplace EDT
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.634 Fireplace Parfum
Eden's No.634 recreates Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace's cosy roasted-chestnut warmth closely, with clove and pink pepper up top and a sweet chestnut-vanilla heart. It's slightly sweeter and louder than the niche original, and doesn't carry the same soft, smoky longevity.

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.
