Ameer Al Oudh - Replica By the Fireplace

A Reddit post, Oct 2024, 53 points
Its not an exact clone of Replica - by the fireplace, I have that sprayed on my other arm and the difference is definitely there, but they share that common theme in my opinion.

The Ameer Al Oudh is kind of similar to 'by the fireplace' by Martin Margeila, again there is a noticable quality difference, while some will make the argument that the Ameer Al Oudh is more wearable being a bit sweeter.

Would you consider Ameer Al Oudh to be pretty close to By the Fireplace, or “similar but its own thing?”

It might seem like I'm bashing Ameer al Oudh, but I actually have it, and prefer it, instead of BTF.

A Reddit comment, Jun 2023, 1 point
I enjoy it more than Replica - By The Fireplace because it keeps the, well, woody fireplace scent longer without turning into a syrup-sweet scent like the authentic version would.
