Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Maison du Soir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to By the Fireplace.

Montagne Parfums lists 6 of the 9 notes in By the Fireplace's pyramid — pink pepper, chestnut, guaiac wood, vanilla and peru balsam and more. What it does not list: cloves, orange blossom and juniper; and it adds orange flower and cade oil of its own.

It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $40 it costs 76% less than By the Fireplace.
