I got a plain, boring frankincense oil scent out of this, with maybe a waxy suggestion of something else. That classic cola scent of import shop frankincense was the extent this one ran on me. It's not bad, but it sure wasn't on fire.

I could not get enough of this stuff. One of my favorite fragrances. Opening is citrus, but IMO is dominated by the middle notes of the berries and caramel. Base notes are a wonderful conclusion to this fragrance with the Frankincense and Wood making a nice mixture. The longevity of this is outstanding, lasting over 12 hours. It is very powerful, as well. I had a sample of this and sprayed a bit into the cap of the sample. Anytime I opened the sample to take a whiff, just the little bit in the sample wafted throughout the room and stayed quite a long time. The name, I think fits, but I'm not sure I can explain why. The fragrance isn't spicy, or hot, per se, but there's something about it that's kind of warm....like a fire that's not blazing anymore but is still warm below the surface. Outstanding.

Sipping Grand Marnier in church?? LOL! Well, that's as good a description as any. This is indeed very candied-orange, much like those big cellophane bags of potpourri sold around Christmas, complete with dried orange slices. There is a very smokey incense note. I really don't know if I like it on me, but it's warm,interesting and different. Definitely a cool weather perfume, it would be a grave error wearing this in summer!

5pm on a December evening.Sipping Grand Marnier in a church.Not a big,cold,scary church but a cosy,friendly little chapel.All the lights are on,the vicar is milling around setting out the hymn books,glancing over and smiling every now and again,letting you know you're welcome there.Something about sipping that sweet alchoholic orange liquer in church seems naughty but the two juxtapose so well even so.
That is Neil Morris Afire.
Sweet,smooth orange with a hint of booze,overlaying spicy incense.
I love this perfume.Not since my beloved Angel have I fallen so quickly and completely.
Thankyou Adrienn99 for introducing me to "The One".My search is over.

Sweetly citrusy, I think I smell candied orange, cinnamon, vanilla, assorted woods, and patchouli. It seems more gourmand than fiery. It’s very natural-smelling, with possibly a tiny touch of cumin in the spice mix. This earthy natural aspect (which I love) may be off-putting to some, but it’s definitely nowhere near aromatherapy territory - in fact, quite the opposite.

There’s lots and lots of sillage, but it’s a nice soft cloud, fruity but not too sweet. I don’t smell caramel explicitly, but it contributes to the overall sweetness and smoothness of the fragrance, and a smooth, light, taffy-like note does appear after about an hour’s drydown. Towards the last stage, the incense note finally surfaces, not strong, but certainly present.

Overall, once I’ve recalibrated from my expectation of “extra-spicy/smoky” to “orange-gourmand”, I really enjoy wearing Afire.

A sickly orange syrup and caramel that doesn't relent, doesn't evolve, and doesn't capture my imagination at all. I'm sorry, but this just smells cheap - there isn't anything juxtaposed against the sweetness. There is no contrast, and thus no clarity.

Honestly, your average Bath and Body Works scent has more complexity and balance than this. Save your money and get some Warm Vanilla Sugar. Or, if you want a real perfume that is based around orange, vanilla, and frankincense, look into Baume du Doge by Eau d'Italie.

This is gorgeous, love the smoky orange opening, then the vanilla kicks in to make this a very warm and comforting fragrance.

Something about this reminds me a bit of Patou's Sublime though this is deeper and more long lasting

Had to buy a big bottle of this one and is one I get compliments on.

similar experience here.

for an hour i get the orange syrup, very strong and sweet one. Honesty, i am not a big fan of citruses and this phase smells like a concentrated Fanta. brrr. but I did not give up.

after then it started to melt and the caramel/berries and vanilla introduced themselves slowly but surely.

i have this 2 hours on now. I did not get any incense at all. Woody notes i would only say because i know they are there, as they do not have a big impact on the composition.

Any changes, will provide an update.

This is quite a unique scent to me.

i don't know how its suppose to be embracing of passionate love. It reminds of Christmas for sure. In fact it makes me think mostly of posadas. There is a tea they would make when i was little that contained oranges, mandarins and spices. It's nice to be reminded of that but I'm not crazy about wearing it. A litter over-bearing if you ask me

Most of all I can smell sweet warm mandarine and incense here which is very appealing combination for me. After a while it developes into a mild vanilla fragrance but it isn't simple at all quite the contrary it's the deep and versatile scent. Lasting power is great.

Oranges, oranges and even more oranges... This is a very interesting take on the fruit: burnt, smoky, at times syrupy, and always very strong. I loved the way the orange got intertwined with the incense. Sadly, I felt something stingy and really unpleasant in the drydown.
Anyway, don't even think about it unless you're totally mad about the smell of oranges - but if you are, it's a must.

I was really dissapointed by this one. I especially find the 1 st hour very disturbing. The citrus have a burnt smoky quality that in no way works for me. Don' t get me wrong i love smoky scents but i hate this one. I also find the red berries part very sweet. Anyway the drydown is better having the neil morris trademark of something darker.Dry churchy smoky incense, but is too late i'm afraid

My first impression was - it's a Christmas fragrance. It opens with lovely dried orange peels and cinnamon scent which becomes smokey in time. It even reminds me more of the ether oils they sometimes use in churches - citrus, but smokey. I would say this fragrance is twofold. One side of it is very strong, dark, smokey. While the other is fresh, clean and even watery. I can smell the pear compote struggling through the smoke!Interesting composition of notes, interesting fragrance.
