The Scoop
Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud is a fundamentally different fragrance that bears minimal resemblance to By The Fireplace despite both being warm fragrances. While the original is a cozy, spiced chestnut composition with gentle woody undertones, the clone is an aggressive oud-forward oriental that dominates the entire scent experience. The clone lacks the sophisticated aromatic complexity, balance, and fireplace intimacy that define the Margiela original.
Key Differences
The original features a delicate spiced-chestnut opening with guaiac wood warmth, while the clone is oud-centric and far more intense. This is a poor match overall—the clone is a completely different fragrance category (synthetic oud oriental vs. aromatic woody spice).

What wearers say
“first blind buy that I regret. initial blast of iso-e-super. ok. then a pine resin that lingers. no oud, no sugar, no powder. NOTHING. it might be good for room spray. some vote as oud mood lattafa, which I liked, being similar, I bought them together, no way. very very disappointed.edit.NOT disappointed. it has started to grow on me. I like it to be honest. good projection, sillage and longevity. I now get the burnt notes instead of the ISO-E Super element. Maybe there might be a second bottle if I ever finish it...”
“First of all, don't let the oudh put you off. I can't even smell it. Usually I can but in this one I can't.It's not a dupe for By the Fireplace. It's very similar but not a dupe. You will love this perfume if you enjoy btfp though. Sweet, syrupy, yummy. My body craves it in fall and winter. I just love it.”
“For first 30 minutes it is too smoky and smells like fireplace lit using kerosene. Dry down is good. Lasts all day and stay on clothes for 24 hours. Nice scent for winter or colder wether conditions.”
