About this deal

The smokiness is certainly there, like the smell of woodsmoke outside on a chilly autumn evening, when folks have their wood burners and log fires going. I love this fragrance it is very Smokey that is the strongest note, at first the sweetness is intense but it dries down less sweet more leathery and yes powdery but like confectioners sugar not beauty powder or makeup.

I got this because I am desperately looking for a long-lasting dupe of By The Fireplace and this is NOTHING like it.I've held onto bottles of fragrances which I did not care for initially, but eventually grew to not only like, but love (Pehaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and Douro are two that come to mind). minutes longevity (me plus a couple of others = same result, a 10 minute toasted marshmallow drive-by. I love Khamrah, but it gets annoying after a while; opens so nice but eventually gets too powdery and feminine on my skin. I sprayed it on my hand and after about an hour, and washing my hands, the scent really smoothed out and a lot of the harsh incense smell went away and it took on a creamy smell. While this one makes you feel like: you thought it was going to be strictly Middle East, but now you've seen and know that isn't true, you had a bit too much Baklava, now you are going to have a fancy dinner in a historical wooden building and after dinner you are going to enjoy one or two cocktails.

It is a less sweet, more medicinal smokey cousin to BTF perhaps, where the fire has been helped along with some of those camphor starter blocks or fluid? I don't feel too sweet or intense, on my skin doesn't radiate too much after 15 minutes and lasting is about 3-4 hours, but can be suffocate the oud. It’s probably my fault that I did not listen to the reviews saying this is more of a male scent, but since I love all the notes mentioned (and I expected it to be heavy on the vanilla), I blind bought this one. I'm legit getting hungry, like when walking through the mall and smelling those candied almonds or fried donuts. Because it's both lineair and so focused on wood it is absolutely ideal for anyone who considers themselves a Fragologist (©️™️ My term for a Fragrance Mixologist).Not the biggest fan of how prevalent the sugar note is on the dry down but overall the scent profile is a less smoky but more sweet Replica by the fireplace. Definitely carries in the winter breeze, I can smell the fragrance flare up whenever I am hit with a cool breeze.

Because of this I would say this is a fall/winter fragrance, it will easily be too cloying on warm days. Our exploration begins with a woody aroma with a scent reminiscent of burnt sugar cubes that fills the air. I recently received this along with Raghba Wood Intense and Raghba and when I first smelled this I was instantly disappointed. In complete drydown, the woody oud takes center stage, leaving a legacy that's both memorable and mesmerizing. If I had to say which season this would be most compatible with / reminds me of then - autumn definitely, and winter.And the combination of temperature differences, long travel AND a lack of maceration (or just not long enough) in Arab perfumes makes sure you *could* - here too there are happy exceptions - initially miss out on top notes (always first to be damaged), sweet base notes, or just get a cloud of alcohol and then little else. Ameer al Oud is a fragrance of its own, I wouldn't say it is a dupe, might remind you of another perfume but that's just it. A princely allspice toffee wrapped in charred wood resins and vanilla, slightly fumed with a bakhoor hint that drifts beautifully cozy especially in the chill.
