As a testpilot for Smartson, I received the maisonmargiela “BY THE FIRE PLACE “🔥 Eau de toilette to try out!
It’s not a new fragrance and it has been around but I never got to try it so I was so excited.
Package is on board with all perfumes from the brand, simple yet stylish.
Top notes: Cloves, Pink Pepper and Orange Blossom
Middle notes: Chestnut, Guaiac Wood and Juniper
Base notes: Vanilla, Peru Balsam and Cashmeran
The scent is labeled as unisex.
For me it opens up Very smoky… almost like if you are standing in front of a bonfire 🔥 or sitting in front of a fire place on a leather sofa.
It takes few minutes till I can smell other notes. But then vanilla and spices start coming through. I get a slight nutty note aswell which is very interesting and unique.
The longevity is great and it is not even an eau de parfum…On me it lasts the Whole day!
For me it’s more of a masculine scent even with the vanilla being strong. I think is so sexy on men and very interesting and unique on ladies.
It’s definitely a late Autumn and Winter fragrance for me. In some ways in combines so many elements from winter season such as fireplace smoke, clove, vanilla, chestnut 🌰.
It is very unique to my collection; as I am more in to white floral and clean scents but I can see myself wearing it more often during colder months and for the right occasions!
