Warm, smoky, and comfortingly evocative, REPLICA By the Fireplace conjures a winter evening where frost nips the air outside while logs crackle indoors, wrapping skin in the cozy scent of roasted chestnuts, clove, and glowing woods. Pink pepper and orange blossom lend a bright lift, while vanilla, cashmeran, and Peru balsam melt into a sweetly woody trail that feels like embers fading to a gentle glow.

Story & Positioning
Created within the REPLICA collection that bottles specific memories, this composition sketches Chamonix in 1971 with the contrast of frosty air and a hearthside glow, using a chestnut accord with smoky woods and clove oil to recreate the sensation of roasted nuts and charred logs. A modern woody ambery comfort scent, it suits cool weather, evening layering, and anyone drawn to softly sweet smoke with a polished finish.
Bottle & Design
A transparent cylindrical bottle with a fire-polished heel that grounds it securely. A canvas tab is fixed to the face with plain black lettering set like a reference card. Around the neck, a single white cord rests beneath a brushed steel spray head left without a cover. The liquid glows a mellow, woody amber that deepens toward the base, giving the spare form the warmth of banked embers.
