Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray is a cult unisex woody-vanilla fragrance from the maison's celebrated Replica collection, launched in 2015. The composition opens on pink pepper, orange flower absolute and clove oil; settles into a warm heart of chestnut accord, gaïac wood and cade oil; and dries down on a sensual base of vanilla, Peru balsam and cashmeran — designed to evoke the scent of a real wood fire on a cold winter evening.

The story behind By the Fireplace
By the Fireplace captures the moment of cosying up to a real wood fire on a cold winter evening — smoky guaiac wood, roasted chestnut and warm vanilla. The pink-pepper-and-clove opening adds a slight spice; the chestnut-and-cade-wood heart delivers the recognisable hearth-fire signature; and the vanilla-Peru-balsam base extends the trail into a comforting, gourmand-leaning finish. One of the most beloved fragrances in modern niche-meets-designer perfumery.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love rich, woody-vanilla unisex fragrances — fans of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Diptyque Eau Duelle or Le Labo Santal 33 will find By the Fireplace a familiar match. Best in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, special-occasion and cosy daily wear.
