The Story
By the Fireplace captures the cozy warmth of a crackling fire on a cold winter night. It opens with smoky clove and pink pepper, then settles into a sweet, roasted chestnut and vanilla heart. The base is a rich blend of cashmeran and guaiac wood, creating a comforting, slightly sweet scent that lingers like a warm hug. It's a perfect cold-weather companion that feels both nostalgic and modern.
