About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

By the Fireplace, launched in 2015 by Maison Margiela, is a unisex woody fragrance that evokes the cozy warmth of a hearth. The composition opens with a sharp, spicy clove top note, immediately setting a warm and inviting tone. As it develops, the heart reveals a blend of chestnut, guaiac wood, and juniper, adding a nutty, smoky, and slightly green facet. The base is a rich, comforting mix of vanilla, Peru balsam, and cashmeran, leaving a sweet, balsamic, and softly powdery trail.

This fragrance is ideal for collectors who appreciate gourmand-tinged woods and seek a scent that feels like a warm embrace. Its prominent woody and vanilla accords make it perfect for cold weather and evening wear, yet it remains versatile enough for daytime in autumn and winter. By the Fireplace suits those who enjoy sweet, spicy, and balsamic compositions with a smoky undertone. Whether you're a fan of unisex fragrances or simply love the idea of bottled warmth, this is a must-try for its unique and comforting profile.
