Replica - By the Fireplace Maison Margiela 2015

Opens with a nice smoky, woody, almost pencil shaving smell which I like. This unfortunately dissipates quickly and devolves into a heavy vanilla that had me wrinkling my nose all day.

I wish there were a way for the woody scents to last longer. I dont hate the smell of pencil shavings or smoky wood! But they just seemed to evaporate instantly (ok that’s an exaggeration, it probably tooo an hour or so).

Not for those who don’t love sweet, in my opinion.
