Velvet Tonka vs By the Fireplace

Velvet Tonka receives a lukewarm reception from the r/fragrance community. While it offers a pleasant vanilla-almond profile that improves with time, reviewers feel it lacks complexity and falls short compared to other BDK offerings and alternative recommendations at similar price points.

By the Fireplace receives mixed community sentiment, with users recognizing it as a distinctive fragrance that works best in specific contexts. While some appreciate its unique character, the consensus suggests it's primarily suited for evening or casual wear rather than office environments, and requires careful application to avoid overwhelming those nearby.
