Camp Fire

Conclusion

If you're looking for a By the Fireplace experience without the hefty price tag, Camp Fire is a solid choice. The synthetic edge in the base is noticeable if you're really looking for it, but most people won't pick up on it. This is a great option for cozy evenings and casual wear during the colder months. Buy it if you like sitting by the fire, but don't have one.

The Scent Profile

Camp Fire by Emir's Factory Edition aims for By the Fireplace, and gets pretty darn close. The opening hits you with that familiar pink pepper and a slightly brighter orange blossom than the original. There's a clove note that’s a tad more prominent, giving it a touch of spice upfront. The heart is where it truly shines. That roasted chestnut vibe is there, blended with guaiac wood. It's cozy and comforting, although you can tell it's not quite as smooth around the edges as the MMM offering. The drydown brings vanilla and cashmeran forward. I'd say it’s 85% similar, the main difference being a slight synthetic twang in the base that the original avoids.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get around 6-7 hours on my skin, with moderate projection for the first two hours before settling closer. It's not a room-filler, which, honestly, is a good thing for this type of scent. Perfect for personal enjoyment.
