Perfumer Reviews 'REPLICA: By The Fireplace' - Maison Margiela

This was love at first scent for me

This fragrance had women grinning at me, I could see all 32 teeth.😂

I love it. I don’t mind the smoke at all, the dry down is superb

Tobacco, cloves, Vanilla. Smells like dad. Its good

had it dont like it , it smells way to linear smells from the beginning to end exactly the same. Also they really nailed the burnen wood smell not in a positiv sense, it will leave you like when u smell ur clothes after a barbecue where all the smoke attached itself on ur clothes but with sweet roasted nuts smell . very unpleasent in my opinion

If they had halved the sweetness of the fragrance this would've been fantastic I think. It doesn't seem to be unisex due to the overwhelming "Marshmellow" scent. I can't help but think that it makes me smell like a woman.

From the description alone, I'm tempted to think it smells similar to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. Does it really, though?

Big fan of Tom Ford Black Orchid and Tobacco Vanille. This was a great addition to my rotation. Didn’t like it at first but it very much grew on me and has become a favorite.

It gets compliments from my wife. That’s a win.

Perfection.
And it's a great frag to spray into your winter jacket every month or so!

I see his lips moving, but gibberish is coming up. Random words strung together like what chatGPt would spit out 10 years ago!!

Surprisingly it’s one of my most complimented fragrances. I absolutely love wearing this in the winter and it will last on your clothes for a very long time. Greta review 🤛

This guy is creepy

nice voice

Love this scent. It's like aromatherapy to me... Just relaxing to have in the air.

It should be called in the fireplace.

I don't won't to smell like I've been by the fire place either 😂 nice perfumery but this is a peculiar one to my nose. Too artistic and not really a practicable option.

Aaron: "I do not like toasted marshmallows."
All the other Europeans: "We neither."
Americans: "What's wrong with you people?"
🤣🤣🤣

Heh, the sample I had of it, I would not describe as light and airy. Quite 180 degrees removed. It's a scent that I like, but I like it more for the art of its perfumery than for the wear. Definitely one for the colder months.

Aaron will you please do a review of Gisada Ambassador

Check out green velvet by ilya if you get the chance, great fragrance!

You say not a lot of people have heard of it but in the US this brand is carried in Sephora and this particular fragrance is very popular. I think it is too common in the US and I am tired of it.

I tried this and it didn't quite work for me. My go-to Replica is At the Barber's, which I love.

Unrelated, but I got a bottle of Legend yesterday and I LOVE it. Well done Aaron! I can't wait to try more of your fragrances.

Your introduction is the best one out there … ‘and I’m doing really well’ … just love it. 🤩👌🏻

Didn't you already review this?😮

I've bought this twice now. long-lasting, warm and comforting. Definately a late evening winters fragrence.

very similar to Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles

My daughters are getting this for my birthday.

I think there’s some Peru balsam there and I despise of it when it’s not supported enough

I loved this but then it went all weird smellin bout half way through the bottle

Whenever I wear it, all I get from it is burnt wood. It’s overpowering and gets boring after a while. I much prefer Jazz Club.
By the fireplace reminds me of Stronger with you Intensely, but Armanis scent is just much more wearable, imo.

Hey! I would really love to try your fragrances. The thing is, to commit to such high amounts of a price, without smelling them first i just can‘t commit to. Are there any plans to make a discovery set/ 2ml glass bottles where i can just test out the fragrance? I could imagine a lot of other people have the same wish and in the long run it would help buisness(even though i would imagine the logistics of it is quite hard)

Please bring back shipping to PH 😭

This smells like sweet BBQ pork to me 😂😂😂😂 Ba Kwa

I dislike the house. It's all so synthetic smelling

I have only 3 frags in total, this is one of them, but I very rarely feel like wearing it. I layer the other two every day.

I find it cloying! I hate marshmallows…Jazz Club is their best perfume

love the smell of this. Eve nmore than just loving the smell, it gives me this huge wave of nostalgia from being at camp and around backyard fires etc... its worth it just for those feelings alone.

I have that one. True, it's quite surprising at first use and maybe not for everyone. But it does settle down some and is a nice "at home" type of fragrance that might not be the date selection you would want..... But still very nice .... and different.

I like this one, but don't love it. It's fine but wears a bit thin. I think the idea and overall concept is unique but could have been rampred up in a few areas. If it had a bit more heft and lasted longer, it would be amazing.

Hi Aaron, I think the dampness you feel from the EDT doesn't mean it has water, but mainly due to the highly evaporative / volatile alcohol in higher percentage, it takes the heat quickly off your skin, giving the cool and damp sensation as opposed to heavier parfum.

Lol I was searching two days ago if you already made this review and now you're posting it, amazing 😁

My guy could review axe body spray and I’m still clicking the video.

You used to love this😂 lol. I remember smelling something that reminded me of orange candy as well in it. Not sure if I'm imagining that.

I've layered this with jazz club and it blends very nice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great review! It is very niche, I don't wear it too often. Great for winter, cold climates. It reminds me of summer bonfires we have on the beach in Texas but Its not really a summer fragrance. Buy the travel size, don't buy blind. A great alternative is their Jazz club scent which is more mass appealing and more versatile.

My partner loves this scent. I myself , I am not fond of it. IMO, totally overrated.

I want to try ATH scents can’t get them to Canada 😢

initially liked this and jazz club of the replica line a few years ago but rarely reach for by the fireplace now as i have a lot of other nicer scents for those colder evenings when you could wear this.
