What it inspired

5 inspired-by alternatives

Independent fragrances made to evoke By the Fireplace — not the original, and not made by Maison Margiela Replica. Match percentages are desk estimates.

Highest desk score first; where scores tie, houses we work with come first, then the desk's match estimate (best value: match and per-ml saving). Desk scores and match bands are this desk's own estimates — not customer reviews, not lab tests. Sold-out bottles sit last. How we rank

Some shop links are commission links: The D.I. may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Inspirations are listed top-rated first (the house's own customer reviews, otherwise our desk score); where ratings tie, houses we work with come first.
