By the Fireplace

$165.00

By the Fireplace became one of the most discussed fragrances of the 2010s for a reason: it actually smells like a fireplace. Pink pepper and clove open with a warmth that is almost prickly before Marie Salamagne's roasted chestnut accord arrives in the heart, a creation precise enough to read as a specific food rather than a generic sweetness. Guaiac wood and cade oil add the smoke, dry and resinous rather than acrid. The vanilla accord and cashmeran base give the drydown a soft, radiant warmth that is less crackling fire and more the clothes you were wearing while sitting near one.

Why We Carry This

Marie Salamagne's chestnut accord is the technical achievement that made By the Fireplace a category-defining release. The fragrance's reputation is fully earned: the smoke-chestnut construction is specific in a way that most comfort scents are not, and the cashmeran base gives it a lasting softness that justifies every reapplication.
