Few fragrances capture a scene as vividly as By the Fireplace. This is not just smoke and sweetness—it’s the full atmosphere: scorched wood, glowing embers, a wool sweater warmed by body heat, and a distant trace of vanilla rising from a mug.

The formula leans on a massive dose of Hedione and Iso E Super, creating an expansive radiance that diffuses the darker elements. Cashmeran, Boisambrene Forte, and Norlimbanol build a rich, smoky accord with structure and persistence.

The “burnt” effect is cleverly recreated through creosol, p-methylguaicol, guaiacwood, and benzaldehyde, delivering the illusion of charred logs and caramelizing sugar.

A touch of maple lactone, ethyl maltol, and vanillin conjures the comfort of roasted marshmallows, while heliotropin, orange flower, and pink pepper CO2 provide lift and contrast.

An olfactory postcard from a winter night—warm, woody, unforgettable.
