About this deal

I cannot detect oud nor vanilla (at least at first, not sure how this develops as I couldn’t even bear wearing it for 5 minutes). The scent's character shines in the crisp air, its smokey and woody notes creating an alluring trail, reminiscent of a mystical journey through time and space. This has excellent performance for year round wear, but the sweeter woody profile make it most appropriate for spring through fall or chilly nights. i put it on before going in to bed and when i wake up i can smell it like i just sprayed it on me just now. But as of right now, I'm of the opinion that this is not a BTF clone but, instead, its own inspired fragrance.

It sounds like an advertisement :) , but I am very pleasantly surprised after so many years of collecting perfumes. The first thing I thought of when I sprayed this was Instant Crush by Mancera and Raghba by Lattafa. Performance and longevity it is above average but it does not remind me of a fireplace or anything similar. The woodiness is reminiscent of the pepper note in Versace Crystal Noir, the cedar in D+G Light Blue, the woodiness in He/She Wood, only here it's given a vanillic Oriental treatment. For me personally though, I generally only apply 2 sprays of anything to be considerate to other people and this is no exception.The clean sweet oud here is noticeably present but not overwhelmingly so, being superbly executed, much a result of the composition's truly exceptional blending. For some reason it doesn't feel like the scene is happening at night, but on a windy afternoon on the side of a mountain. Although I do get a lot of burnt sugar and mild woods, I also get a pretty unexpected fruity floral-ness from this.

What I smell in By the Fireplace is marshmallows forgotten on metal skewers just at the point of burning over a roaring fire in a slate fireplace.I actually don't mind the sweetness of it, it goes a certain cool direction, but loses me at the medicinal, air freshener woodiness. I have tried this in summer and winter and although I agree it smells slightly better in the winter, it still has somethi Got sucked into the hype and blind bought this, i found it to be a little bit too dry and smoky for me. Absolute beast longevity wise too, good 8-10 hours out of this and the projection is perfect, not too loud, not a skin scent, just radiates around you in a little bubble. After 1 hour, the scents of the two bottles have a more obvious similarity, but if you own both bottles you will still completely feel the difference.
