What wearers say

“Smells like sitting by a campfire. It has gourmand and spicy notes. Bourbon almost. I would say its main notes are warm spicy + woody. Smells exactly like smoke and sweetness. Eventually it fades into a gourmand scent with a little edge.Lasted me about 3 hours.Silage is between intimate and moderate.Note: When I really think about it, once the scent marinates a little I can almost convince myself it smells like asphalt after it has rained. This smells way more closer to rain than their scent, "when the rain stops."”

“I have had my bottle for a few years now and it's still a love. I save it for snowy winter days now, I used to wear it for christmas. Today is one of those snowy winter days and it's the perfect cozy scent. To me this smells like sitting by a fireplace on a cold winter day, in a pine forest. I think it's the peru balsam and juniper that gives me pine, but it's a subtle pine. I don't find this sweet or gourmande at all. No marshmallows roasting here. But it can easily be layered with a vanilla or marshmallow scent to create that vibe.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I've been eyeing this one for a while. Just beautiful, no other way to describe it but chestnuts roasting on a fire. Some might argue the opening is too spicy but once it settles down, I don't think anyone could dislike it. Definetly couldn't pull off wearing in summer but a warm and masculine cold winter fragrance.”

Sillage

Raghba Wood Intense emphasizes woodiness more prominently than the original's balanced spice-wood composition, and typically offers shorter longevity (4-6 hours vs 6-8 hours for the designer). The original's creamy vanilla undertone is less developed in the clone, which feels more linear and less nuanced overall.

Zara's version has softer smoke/tar notes and emphasizes ebony wood more prominently, making it less dark and introspective. Longevity and sillage are also noticeably reduced compared to the original's powerful performance.

Sillage

The original emphasizes warm spices and cedarwood for a cozy, intimate vibe, while the clone relies heavily on oud and incense for a more exotic, heavier impression. Longevity and sillage likely favor the clone's oud-based formula, but the olfactory direction is substantially different from the designer's vision.
