Wood Fire - 1874

I haven't smelled the original. So I don't know how close it is to the original. But I spent a decade living in a Northern country. My walks home in the autumn and winter evenings were filled with the sweet, nutty, slightly vanilla. slightly honeyed scent of roast chestnuts being sold at every corner, and the smokey, woody scent of the chestnut sellers' fires. The smell of cloves, soft cinnamon, mixed spice and sugar was coming from every bakery and every kitchen. On Sunday morning the churches were filled with the sweet spicy, resinous, woody, smokey notes of incense that contained cloves, cinnamon, pepper, frankincence and myrrh. PP have created all those scents and blended them together to create Wood Fire. But why would anyone want to smell like roast chestnuts, wood smoke and incense? Actually, the perfume is so skilfully blended that it is a strong but comforting, relaxing scent to wear. On a cold, windy, dreary winter's morning in London I put just a little on my scarf. A little goes a long way. I find that this delicious scent helps me face the cold. I sometimes get compliments from other passengers on the Tube. It's not an office scent. So when I get to the office I put my scarf away and spritz a little of one of PP's many wonderful office appropriate scents. I hope that PP will someday create a category of several pages of office appropriate scents for women and men. That doesn't mean boring or bland. My favourite, PP's scent similar to Dior's La Colle Noire is out of stock at the moment. But I hope they will bring it back soon.

Really well balanced better them the Lataffa clones I have . Well done

Identical to the original, long lasting, just..perfect!

I’m reviewing this straight out of the box so no time to macerate.. tbh smells a bit like TCP on the opening for the first few minutes, but after that the dry down is lovely.. a warm cosy scent that’s so comforting. I’ve not tried the original but this is really well done… log burner, dim lights and wood fire 1874…. Perfect!
Highly recommended

I don't have the original so idk how similar it is but I love the smell and it stays a full day no problem. Just great!
