by Al Haramain Perfumes
Khulasat Al Oudh Al Haramain is a bold, smoky leather fragrance with a raw, animalic base that evolves into a deep, resinous sweetness. It opens with an intense burst of smoky, leathery notes—reminiscent of a bonfire ruined leather jacket, burning tires, or a crowded cigar bar—while sweet citrus and rose top notes offer only a brief, fleeting presence before the core notes dominate. The scent lingers strongly, with excellent longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it hard to ignore. The dry down reveals a rich, woody-ambered base with subtle musk and labdanum, creating a powerful, masculine aura. Though some find the initial sharpness and synthetic character overwhelming, many praise its originality, depth, and strong projection, especially in cooler seasons.
