What Is Paris Corner Emir Camp Fire a Dupe Of?

What's the Camp Fire comparison?

Paris Corner Emir Camp Fire is a clone of Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace. We rate the similarity at 85%. Chestnut, guaiac wood and vanilla are the main connection. If a sweet, woody fragrance with a fireside feel sounds appealing, these are two bottles we'd compare.

We're talking about Camp Fire from Paris Corner's Emir range and the original By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette. Camp Fire is an EDP, but that label alone doesn't tell you which one you'll prefer or how either will wear on your skin.

How do the notes line up?

The catalog lists clove, pink pepper and orange blossom at the top of both fragrances. Chestnut, guaiac wood and juniper follow in the middle, with vanilla, Peru balsam and cashmeran in the base. There's plenty of overlap beyond the names suggesting the same scene.

We'd read that as a reason to sample them together. The chestnut-and-vanilla side is the sweet part of the idea, while the woods and spice give you something to compare around it. Matching note names leave plenty of room for a fragrance to feel different once you're actually wearing it.

Would we try Camp Fire instead?

At 85%, we'd put it on the shortlist if you like By the Fireplace and want to see whether another version suits your budget. Pay attention to the balance of sweetness and smoke when you try it. Someone shopping for cozy vanilla might want a different balance from someone mainly interested in the woody side.

We'd also give it a little time before making the call. Try it on skin, let the opening settle, then decide whether you'd enjoy wearing it through the rest of the day. The important part is whether you like the whole scent, rather than just recognizing the reference.
