Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall 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.

Best 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.

About

By the Fireplace envelops you in the scent of smoky woods, roasted chestnuts, and creamy vanilla, recreating the warmth of a fireside gathering. Clove and pink pepper spark the opening with a subtle spicy kick, soon melting into a heart of chestnut and guaiac wood that evokes glowing embers and charred logs. The base is plush with vanilla, Peru balsam, and cashmeran, blending sweetness and balsamic depth. The result is a comforting, nostalgic, and slightly mysterious fragrance that lingers like the memory of a cozy night by the hearth.
