A delicate addition of olibanum leaves a mysterious, yet intriguing, spiritual dimension. Not only will you be encased in an aura of mystery that enchants anyone you’ll encounter, but it also brings you a confidence in yourself that is unmatched.

Le Labo is serious about their perfumes. They believe that perfumes require craftsmanship and that fine perfumes must be irreverent.

We’ve already introduced some beautiful perfumes to you that are inspired by those long summer days. But do you really want to have a summer scent on you when the days get dark, the nights get cold, and snow is falling outside your window? Sure, summer is an absolutely stunning season, but let’s be honest, embracing winter with the appropriate fragrance will make it so much easier to make it through the colder months.

Replica By The Fireplace perfume by Maison Margiela is inspired by the warming feeling of whisky, sitting by a fireplace in a cozy cabin, and the warmth and depth that swells up in us when we hear the firewood crackling. Smoky scents of burning embers are combined with notes of soft, warm guaiac wood. Clove oil and chestnut with a hint of berry oil bring a feeling of comfort, reassurance, and warmth that pulls anyone around you into your trance.
