By the Fireplace opens with the dry spice of cloves and pink pepper, while orange blossom softens the very first impression. After a few minutes it grows denser: the heart brings a roasted chestnut accord and a warm woody haze of guaiac wood with juniper. This shift creates a fireside effect where sweetness and smoke move together without clashing. In the drydown, vanilla, Peru balsam, and cashmeran leave a smooth, slightly resinous trail with a gourmand touch. Its character is smoky-sweet and unisex, especially convincing in cool weather. The projection is noticeable at close range and feels ideal for evenings when you want something warm and enveloping.
