What do reviewers say about By the Fireplace and Addiction Absolu?
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
If you've ever wanted to smell like you just came from somewhere you shouldn't have, this is the bottle. Rich, boozy, and warm without asking permission. The kind of scent that earns a second look.Addiction Absolu
