First, the name: make sure it says Intense Oud. The regular Ameer Al Oudh is a different, much more divisive fragrance; the Intense Oud is the one compared to Maison Margiela's By the Fireplace.
The resemblance is in the warmth. Both radiate a sweet, glowing heat that people describe as sitting by a fire. What the Lattafa leaves out is the fire itself — the smoky, burnt-wood note that gives By the Fireplace its character. Reviewers are split on whether you miss it.
Some find the opening harsher, and a few hear no likeness at all, but plenty call it close for the price.
The verdictAbout 65% of By the Fireplace — the cosy sweetness without the smoke.

On paper
On paper, Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud is an outside bet if you want Replica By the Fireplace for less.
Lattafa describes it with woodsy notes, agarwood, sugar and vanilla — a different vocabulary from Replica By the Fireplace's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
It is $19 per 100ml.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lattafa publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
