By the Fireplace(2015)

Created by Nathalie Feisthauer for Maison Margiela's Replica line, By the Fireplace opens on pink pepper and clove oil, moves through a heart of chestnut, vanilla, and guaiac wood, and closes on cade oil, vanilla, and cedarwood. Conceived to evoke the specific memory of sitting by a crackling wood fire, it exemplifies the Replica line's broader concept of fragrances built around a precise, nostalgic sensory memory rather than a conventional abstract composition.
