By the Fireplace Maison Martin Margiela EDP, a unisex woody-gourmand fragrance from Maison Margiela’s Replica line, was first released in 2015 and evokes the cozy warmth of a crackling fire. It opens with spicy top notes of cloves, pink pepper, and orange blossom, followed by middle notes of chestnut, guaiac wood, and juniper, and settles into a base of vanilla, Peru balsam, and cashmeran. Performance is solid for an Eau de Toilette/EDP-style scent, with longevity typically around 6–8 hours, sillage that’s generally moderate, and projection that’s noticeable but not overwhelming — perfect for cooler weather and snug occasions rather than beast-mode output.
