Another Kiss by the Fireside.

4160 Tuesdays began with a single fireside. Sarah McCartney created the original, A Kiss by the Fireside, in 2011, a fragrance built around the smell of a farmhouse kitchen: open fire, dried lavender, fresh roses on a worn pine table, biscuits baking in the oven. When IFRA regulations required reformulation in 2017, the brand saw an opening. Not just compliance, but improvement. McCartney wanted each note to breathe, the slightly leathery woodfire, the spice biscuits, the rose and lavender, each ingredient stepping forward to introduce itself rather than arriving as a crowd. Another Kiss by the Fireside was the result.

The clarity is the point. Cinnamon leaf, blood orange, and lavender arrive together in the opening, but you can pick them apart if you focus. The rose and geranium don't compete, they wait their turn. Leather and vetiver provide the foundation, the long finish that keeps the fireside burning hours after application. What's unusual is how well-behaved it remains despite its warmth. This isn't a fragrance that shouts. It's one that settles into a room and makes everyone wonder where that smell is coming from.

It opens bright. Blood orange cuts through the smoke, a flash of citrus before the fire catches properly. Then the cinnamon leaf arrives, spice without heat, more aroma than burn. Lavender follows, pulling everything toward the herbaceous, slightly medicinal. Around the thirty-minute mark, rose steps in. Not a soliflore rose, something quieter, tucked behind the lavender. Geranium adds a green, almost waxy note that bridges the top to the base. The leather doesn't announce itself. It accumulates. Vetiver grounds it, turns the smoke from floating to smoldering. By hour two, it's close to the skin, intimate sillage, the kind you have to lean in to find. The drydown lasts. That's the vetiver doing its work. Eight to ten hours on most skin types, fading quietly into something that smells like a fire gone to embers and the memory of warmth.

Since its 2011 debut, Another Kiss by the Fireside has become a reference point for modern niche fragrances that blend comfort with sophistication. Its cinnamon‑leaf top, lavender heart and leather‑vetiver base resonated with a community seeking warmth without heaviness. Over the years it has inspired countless discussions on social media, been cited in fragrance workshops, and helped shape a trend toward transparent, enduring compositions that balance spice and floral elegance, influencing new releases from emerging houses.
