by Al Haramain Perfumes
Amber Oud Al Haramain presents a rich, resinous amber scent with subtle woody and warm spicy accords, featuring top notes of bergamot, lemon, and rosemary that lend a crisp, slightly green freshness. The development is smooth and layered, with a moderate initial sweetness that evolves into a mature, slightly smoky amber drydown. Many users regard it as a high-quality dupe of Amouage Interlude Man, though some note a lack of vanillin or heavy tobacco when compared to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille. Despite the name suggesting oud, it doesn't carry any oud presence—instead, it achieves a velvety, incense-like depth through ambers, resins, and musk. Longevity is robust, with most users reporting a strong, long-lasting sillage and performance comparable to niche masterpieces. The fragrance is particularly valued in colder seasons and transitions well into night wear, with claims of lasting over 12 hours even under use. While some find it too sweet or smeary in the opening, the consensus is that it performs admirably for its price point and offers a well-rounded, textured experience that appeals to those seeking a luxurious-feeling, bold amber fragrance with a strong personal presence.
