Fire

Fire is a 50ml Eau de Cologne from Tessa Williams, part of her Elements range. The brand describes a warm, comforting woody amber fragrance and names incense, wood, patchouli and vetiver, with coconut, vanilla, caramel, Lapsang souchong tea, soft woods, musk and tonka bean. Smoke appears only as a hint. The notes are listed together rather than in a top, heart and base order, so the pyramid here is not a claim about how it unfolds. Expect a sweet, resinous warmth built on incense and woods, with coconut and caramel softening the edges and tea giving a faint smoked note. Only one wearer has commented. They call it a good autumn and winter scent but say it is not particularly smoky. One comment cannot show how long it lasts, how far it carries or which season suits it best, so those are left at the middle. The brand's own words support the warm, comforting, woody and aromatic character, and the smoke is best read as an accent rather than the main experience. Fire suits someone who likes warm woody ambers with a sweet side. A sample is the best way to judge how smoky it feels on your skin.
