What do reviewers say about By the Fireplace and Ab.so.lute.?
Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
This is the one people compare to Alexandria II, a full-bodied oriental that smells like it cost three times the price. The opening is all herbs and smoke, the drydown is warm skin and vanilla.Ab.so.lute.
