By the Fireplace

★★★★☆Editorial rating 4.3/5 · How we rateEau de Toilette · 100 ml

By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela plays with sweet, dessert-like accents and a soft, rounded richness. Carnation, pink pepper and orange in the opening; chestnut and guaiac wood at the heart; vanilla, Cashmeran and peru balsam in the base. With medium sillage and 7–9 h longevity, it shines best in the evening and in winter. Cosy and enveloping, like a soft embrace.
