The review

On paper, Wood Fire 1874 is a reasonable bet if you want By the Fireplace for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is By the Fireplace's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

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

At $89 per 100ml it costs 48% less than By the Fireplace — the 11th cheapest of 13 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on cloves, pink pepper and orange blossom, turns to chestnut, guaiac wood and juniper, and settles into vanilla, peru balsam and Cashmeran. That is the brief Wood Fire 1874 is working from.

Top

  • cloves
  • pink pepper
  • orange blossom

Heart

  • chestnut
  • guaiac wood
  • juniper

Base

  • vanilla
  • peru balsam
  • Cashmeran
For the one who craves a crackling winter hearth, roasting chestnuts and smoky wood wrapped in creamy vanilla warmth on cold nights.
