Fireplace Snuggler

If Interlude Man by Amouage is too smoky or By The Fireplace by Replica is too vanilla, then one should give Mi Piace (Italian for "I like") a try.

Even though the pyramid, especially in the heart notes area with herbs, coconut, and cinnamon, appears relatively chaotic, it still creates a solid illusion of a crackling fireplace with a few vanilla-soaked logs that seemingly spread cozy warmth. The association with a snow-covered mountain cabin is quickly established, and the vanilla adds a romantic touch.

However, regarding the aforementioned heart notes, I can't really pinpoint anything. Only when attempting a more detailed analysis on the sprayed surface do you get the impression of detecting something like herbs, a few coconut molecules, or a few cinnamon particles here and there.

The vanilla joins in relatively early and takes the lead role in the drydown. Alongside everything, distinctly woody nuances can be perceived, wherever they may come from.

Overall, Mi Piace is a rich, long-lasting fireplace wood scent with pleasant attributes, making it ideal for autumn to winter days.

Very nicely described.
Coconut and patchouli remind me of Santos, but here the theme is approached differently.

The Santos is definitely a bit different.

It sounds really cozy; maybe a tip for the upcoming November.
Thanks!

Very interesting. Although I have issues with overly dominant vanilla. Let's see...

Understandable - but it's much more muted than in By The Fireplace...

Sounds very pleasant and flattering. Somehow, I briefly thought of Santos while reading the notes..!

There are indeed some small similarities in the pyramid, but Mi Piace develops completely differently ;-)

That sounds pretty good. I'm just out if it gets too burnt.
Great that you’re sticking with the brand!

The smoky note is really minimal to non-existent... so absolutely wearable!

Sure, it would be nice to smell this one, but the vanilla would probably get on my nerves soon, although it's better than By The Fireplace, so it's more of a non mi piace...

The vanilla here is definitely much more subtle than in By The Fireplace.

Could actually be one for Mr. Polly, he likes this direction. As long as it’s not too sweet. He definitely wouldn’t wear By the Fireplace. Interlude fits well, but also Broken Theories / Kerosene. The coconut here is a bit off-putting for me.

No worries - the coconut doesn't really come through at all, otherwise I wouldn't like the scent either. And it's not necessarily sweet.
