By The Fireplace

Inspired by a cosy winter evening beside a crackling fire, By the Fireplace is a rich woody-gourmand fragrance that perfectly captures the comforting aroma of burning wood, roasted chestnuts, and creamy vanilla. Warm, smoky, and irresistibly addictive, it evokes the feeling of wrapping yourself in a blanket while the fire glows nearby.

The fragrance opens with a comforting blend of pink pepper, orange blossom, and clove oil, creating a spicy, slightly floral introduction that feels warm and inviting. The opening immediately sets the stage for the fragrance's signature smoky character.

At its heart, roasted chestnut, guaiac wood, and juniper create an unmistakable accord that recreates the scent of chestnuts roasting over an open fire. The woody smokiness is beautifully balanced with a subtle nutty sweetness.

As it dries down, vanilla, Peru balsam, and cashmeran create a creamy, enveloping finish that softens the smoky woods with rich warmth and comfort. The result is a fragrance that is smoky, woody, sweet, and incredibly cosy.

By the Fireplace has become one of Maison Margiela's most iconic fragrances, beloved for its unique ability to capture the atmosphere of a winter cabin in a bottle.
