REPLICA BY THE FIREPLACE VS RAHGBA WOOD INTENSE VS AMEER AL OUD INTENSE OUD (opens in a new tab)I don't get the smoky vibes - more of an incense vibe. Honestly, I get maple syrup more than anything. Projection and longevity are...meh. It's more airy than dense.

BEST CHEAP By the Fireplace Alternative?! - Raghba Wood Intense - Majd al Sultan - Ameer al Oudh (opens in a new tab)Raghba wood intense is good, however the cumin/locorice note in it gives off a funky vibe in high heat weather that becomes cloying and upsetting to my nose and others.
