Lattafa Qaa'ed would be my #1 by far. Creamy, smooth sandalwood. Spices. Just heaven in a bottle for a sandalwood lover like me. Lattafa Asad would be another one; I'm told it's a clone of Sauvage Elixir, but I haven't actually smelled Elixir so I can't confirm that. Fantastic frag though! Lattafa's Ameer Al oudh Intense Oud (By The Fireplace clone) and Raghba would be in the consideration as well. Lattafa just knocks it out of the park from a value perspective.

I've always favored the stronger concentrated versions of fragrances like the Extrait, the Parfum, or the (EDP) eau de parfum versions; rather than the more watered version such as (EDT) eau de toilette. Now the battle is which oil fragrance does it the best. I'd like to hear what's your take on these two gorgeous masterpieces.
