I've seen several reviews and videos on RWI, and often hear it compared to Maison Margiela's Replica By the Fireplace. I smelled that original on strip at a Sephora, and I already own and love Jazz Club, but I wanted to get it on skin. I picked up a 10ml travel spray next time I was at Sephora and tried it. It opened beautifully, but didn't project for me, and didn't last long at all on my skin. I decided to try RWI because of the price point. I don't find it to be a clone of By the Fireplace at all, but has several of the same elements, so I'll call it an "Inspired By" fragrance instead. And in this instance, I like it better -- all the way around -- than By the Fireplace. For a fraction of the price, it smells high quality, has great projection and longevity and is not overdone on my skin. I've been reducing the number of dupes I'm buying lately, and saving up for designer and niche, as my collection has grown and has a lot of the scent profiles covered. But this one (if I ever get through this bottle) I would buy again.
