Lattafa ameer al oudh intense - inspired by Maison Margiela by the fireplace, very sweet, very good sillage and performance Haramain detour noir - iirc it is a PDM Layton clone, more of an intimate scent, smells amazing though

I don't see how anyone can justify those OG prices when these get so close.

when i first got it i loved it (it was identical to by the fireplace) but i think over time my taste has changed as i can no longer seem to stand the smoky herbal/medicinal oud anymore.

Ameer Al Oudh Intense is a dupe of By The Fireplace and it's a very enjoyable cosy sweet and smokey scent, much less challenging than Raghba Wood Intense, but not entirely safe blind buy either.

If you have had the chance of trying "By the fireplace" just imagine a slightly less sweeter, smokier version of that.
