Details & care
What it is: A scented candle that warms any room in your home with the scent of By the Fireplace.
Fragrance story: The sweetness of a winter evening by the fireplace. Brightness, freshness and the purity of newly fallen snow through the frozen window. Day breaks. Outside it's snowing on a frosty, cold landscape. Inside the flames of a comforting fire crackle in the fireplace. By the Fireplace is the brand's first feminine and masculine fragrance, evoking a morning by the fireplace in Chamonix in the 1970s.
Style: Warm, spicy.
Notes:
- Top: pink pepper, orange flower petals, clove oil
- Middle: chestnut accord, guaiac wood oil, cade oil
- Base: vanilla accord, Peru balsam, cashmeran
How to use: Burn between one and four hours at a time. Ensure the wick is centered to maintain an even pool of candle wax during each burn. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4-inch at all times to help reduce soot and debris.
- 40-hour approximate burn time
- Made in France

a winter favorite
We recently replaced our wood-burning fireplace with a gas one and I got this candle to have a fireplace smell. Though it does not smell like our wood-burning fireplace did, I nevertheless like the smell, which is a wintery, spicy smell. This is my fourth candle and as long as they keep making them I will buy more!

This scent is sooo good, especially in when it's cooler outside. It's smoky with a hint of sweetness. I love how it lights up any room that it's in and isn't over bearing to me

Makes my whole room smell so good
As someone who also has the perfume version they both are the same. Usually for products like this where there is a perfume and candle version, they smell different, but that is not the case for these products. The candle has that smokey smell like the perfume which is so enchanting. The candle functions very well too with the burn time being a lot especially since the candle has so much wax to burn.

Potent and burn time
My husband has been using replica for a long time and by the fireplace is his favorite smell so I got him a candle ! The candle leaves your house smelling amazing - a bit smoky a bit fresh and very intriguing. When we have guests we always get compliments on the smell! Very potent and a very long burning time!

repeat purchase, but not as nice as the first one
Not nearly as strongly scented as the first one I purchased. Still lovely! But given what they cost, I expected more consistency from batch to batch.

Your comments are sincerely appreciated, and we will share them with our team. Feedback from loyal customers like you is incredibly valuable as we continue to uphold the experience expected from Maison Margiela.
Thank you again for your continued support and for taking the time to leave your review.

Worth the $$$
Amazing quality and size is perfect . Smells like a cozy fire place with hints of vanilla . The candle burns evenly and the scent lingers after it’s extinguished.

Gorgeous candle for long cosy evenings
I love Maison Margiela fragrances to wear during the day time and have amassed quite a collection. Their By The Fireplace Eau de Toilette is my most commented on of their scents. It is warm and smoky whilst remaining really feminine. I adore it and so does everyone who passes by me. So purchasing the candle was a no brainer. This long lasting candle really throws its fragrance, even when unlit.

Potent and powerful
This is by far the strongest scented candle I have ever used. It had the best throw and can scent even large rooms. It does smell overwhelming if you sniff it directly, but when lit, it gives such a warm cozy scent. Definitely not for people averse to strong scents. Replica candles also have the most even burn of any I've tried - including diptyque

A warm, smoky, unisex candle with excellent throw
I’ve loved the Maison Margiela fragrances for years and the by the fire place candle definitely lives up to the scent I know and love in a candle form. The fragrance is warm, smoky, and beautifully unisex. The overall vibe feels intimate and elevated. The throw is excellent, it fills the room evenly without being overpowering. It smells luxurious, calming, and sophisticated.
