...Autumn Evening. We are sitting with friends by the Flaucher and have made a small campfire. The girls brought mulled wine in a thermos, and the guys brought a crate of beer. One of them brought a guitar and is singing along. Greetings from youth.
When applying this perfume, the nose is greeted with a warm, lightly sweet burnt wood accord. This remains constant throughout and gives it a masculine touch. Slowly, spicy and floral notes emerge from the background. The accords of chestnut join in. More woody notes follow. Over time, the perfume becomes creamy and is enveloped in a delicate smoky masculine scent. This fragrance is very close to the original By the Fireplace and is also quite good.
The longevity and sillage are good on my skin.
I see this unisex fragrance leaning more towards men than women due to its smoky woody masculine accord. On colder days, and even in summer, I can easily imagine it in the office or in the evening at a bar, club, etc., during a meal with a loved one or friends.
Of course, women can and should try this scent. Perhaps one or the other will find it appealing.
If you enjoy a smoky, woody, slightly sweet masculine fragrance, this is the right choice. This is certainly not an everyday scent. Personally, I have embraced it in my fragrance heart. For a copy of a scent from Maison Margiela, it is very good.
