How To Use Perfume
Sweet Smoke is exactly what it sounds like. Roasted chestnuts, woodsmoke and vanilla, cosy and a little magical.
Pink pepper and orange blossom open it, bright with a soft floral edge. Chestnut takes the heart and turns it warm and nutty, like something roasting. Vanilla and woods settle the base into a sweet, smoky comfort.
Our Creation of Maison Margiela By the Fireplace. We made our own version at eau de parfum strength, 25 to 30% oil.
Wear it in winter and the evening. It's the scent of a fire on a cold night, and everyone loves it.
Made in the UAE with oils from France and Switzerland. 50ml or 100ml spray, or a 10ml roll-on oil if you'd rather skip the alcohol.
Frequently asked
What does By the Fireplace smell like?
Roasted chestnut and woodsmoke over warm vanilla. Sweet and cosy. Sweet Smoke follows that same direction in our own blend.
How long will it last?
It's a full eau de parfum at 25 to 30% concentration, made for strong performance. How long it lasts depends on your skin, the weather and how much you apply, and it holds longer on clothing than on skin.
Is Sweet Smoke unisex?
Yes, completely. The sweet, smoky warmth is loved by men and women alike.
How should I apply it?
One spray on each pulse point: neck and chest, inner wrists, shoulders, and behind the ears. Fragrance holds better on moisturised skin, so just after a shower works well.

Is this perfume suitable for daily wear?
Yes. Most of our fragrances are designed to work across daily routines, work, casual outings and evenings. Check the scent profile to see whether the fragrance leans fresh, woody, sweet, smoky or intense.
Can I wear this perfume in UAE weather?
Yes. Application matters in warmer weather. Use fewer sprays outdoors during the day and apply to clothes or pulse points for better longevity.
Where should I spray perfume for better performance?
Apply to pulse points such as the neck and wrists, and lightly on clothing. Avoid rubbing the fragrance after spraying.
How many sprays should I use?
Usually 3–5 sprays are enough, depending on the fragrance strength, weather and occasion. Stronger oud, tobacco or smoky fragrances may need fewer sprays.
Does perfume last longer on clothes or skin?
Fragrance usually lasts longer on fabric, while skin allows the scent to develop more naturally. For best results, use a combination of both.
How should I store my perfume?
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Avoid storing it near a window or inside a hot car.
