PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Campfire is our perfume dupe of By The Fireplace by Maison Margiela, a unisex fragrance built on pink pepper, clove and orange blossom before it moves into chestnut, guaiac wood and juniper, then settles on vanilla, Peru balsam and cashmeran.

The spice up top and the roasted chestnut in the middle are what make people place it as a fireside scent rather than a plain woody one. It opens sharp and a little smoky, then softens as the vanilla and cashmeran come through, so the trail turns warmer the longer you wear it.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Campfire

Inspired by: By The Fireplace, Maison Margiela

Campfire comes into its own in autumn and winter, when the spice and chestnut have something cold outside to push against, though the clove and orange blossom keep it wearable into early spring too.

It is a unisex fragrance that suits an evening by the fire as easily as a cold weekend outdoors, and one spray tends to be enough for the whole day.

Choose our Inspiration

Maison Margiela Replica By The Fireplace comes from the house's Replica line, a collection built around bottling a specific memory rather than a single note. Maison Margiela is a French fashion and fragrance house, and this scent remains one of the line's most recognised entries.

Most people just say By The Fireplace, sometimes shortened to Replica Fireplace, and it is one of the most requested designer scents when someone is after a dupe for something warm and smoky.

Campfire is our take on that idea, matched as closely as we can while staying our own blend.

Why choose us?

Campfire is our alternative to Maison Margiela's By The Fireplace, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches.

We build it richer than the original's lighter format, since that is where this kind of smoky, resinous composition holds up longest on skin. If it is not similar enough to what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we will exchange it.
