Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace EDT in detail
Replica By The Fireplace EDT comes from Maison Margiela. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €170. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Tom Ford Velvet Orchid and Parfums De Marly Pegasus Exclusif but less than Sospiro Contralto.
Replica By The Fireplace: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its gourmand side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Parfums De Marly Pegasus Exclusif is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts about as long as Sospiro Contralto and Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. Base notes like vanilla and peru balsam are the part that stays longest on the skin.
