By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela’s REPLICA is a meditation on comfort, memory, and the architecture of intimacy. In its smoldering trail of smoky wood and sweet chestnut lies a quiet truth: the most powerful sensations in life are often the ones that cannot be seen.
This fragrance evokes a paradox, the stillness within fire. Flames crackle, yet time feels suspended. Outside, winter writes silence across the world; inside, the fire holds space for reflection. With notes of clove oil, guaiac wood, and vanilla accord, By the Fireplace invites you into a space where memory becomes tangible and warmth becomes philosophical.
It is the scent of being known and sheltered, not just by a person, but by a moment. It recalls not an event, but a feeling, a return to self. There is a deeply human truth embedded in its smoke: that in the coldest seasons of our lives, we remember warmth not as heat, but as presence… as love.
To wear By the Fireplace is to ask yourself:
What parts of me have not yet burned?
And what might rise from their quiet embers?
This is not a perfume for the extroverted self.
This is for the part of you that sits in silence and feels everything.
