D.S. & DURGA ‘Portable Fireplace’
Score: 90%
Notes: pine wood, smoke, oak ash, cedar, birch, birch tar, copaiba
In their words: Nothing is cozier than a fireplace. The hearth brings us back to that ancient desire for warmth. The smell of a fireplace alone makes us think of the country, the holidays, the joys of cooler weather. Family gatherings, reading, romance, old world – associations are plentiful. In the speed of the modern world, especially in the city, it is rarer to have a working fireplace – or to take the time to light a fire.
In our words: It might smell more like a fireplace than an actual fireplace.
