Light My Fire

Parfumour’s Interpretation of By Kilian Light My Fire

Light My Fire is a warm tobacco and tonka scent, and our version keeps that feel: a rich tobacco opening, a hay and spice heart, and a sweet woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

By Kilian built Light My Fire around the idea of warmth and comfort, pairing tobacco leaf and hay with a sweet tonka and vetiver base for a cosy, slightly boozy feel.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the tobacco rich up top, add cumin and hay in the middle, and finish on a sweet tonka, vetiver and patchouli base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a warm, cosy tobacco scent and wants a niche style fragrance without the niche price.

How can it cost so much less than By Kilian Light My Fire?
