Maison Martin Margiela By the Fireplace (2015) reads as smoky chestnuts and clove warmth by a fire, opening on clove and Pink pepper and drying down to vanilla, cashmeran and Peru balsam. Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club (Cologne, 2013) smells of smoky tobacco bar smoke with sweet rum, with Pink pepper and neroli up top and tobacco absolute, vanilla and styrax underneath.
