By The Fire
By The Fire begins warm immediately. Bay Rum brings a rich aromatic spice with a slightly sweet, old world character, while pink pepper adds a brighter crackle through the opening. Saffron gives the fragrance a dry golden warmth that feels almost leathery and slightly smoky. Then the heart starts to deepen. Sweet tobacco comes forward with the smell of cured tobacco leaf rather than cigarette smoke, warm, slightly sweet, earthy, and rich. Fireplace adds the impression of glowing wood, faint smoke, and hot embers, while Iso E Super gives the heavier notes some breathing room with a smooth woody transparency. As it dries down, the fragrance becomes darker and softer. Sandalwood adds creamy warmth, myrrh introduces a resinous incense quality, and amber oud leaves behind a deep golden woodiness with a slightly smoky sweetness. If you have never smelled By The Fire, imagine sitting beside a wood burning fireplace on a cold night, with warm spices nearby, dried tobacco leaves, glowing resin, polished wood, and a faint ribbon of smoke hanging in the air. It is warm and smoky without smelling like ash, sweet without becoming a gourmand, and woody without turning overly dry. The overall impression is dark amber, glowing embers, spiced tobacco, resin, and warm wood.
