Amber Oud Bleu Edition Al Haramain

Amber Oud Bleu Edition by Al Haramain presents a clean, citrus-woody profile with minty freshness and a subtle spicy ambery base. It closely evokes the DNA of Bleu de Chanel EDT, with grapefruit, lemon, mint, and pink pepper opening brightly, followed by ginger and jasmine with a soft patchouli and sandalwood base. The scent is smooth and relaxing for some, with a refreshing, shower-gel-like quality suggested by users. However, many feel it lacks depth and fails to match the elegance or complexity of the original Bleu de Chanel, with some describing the note balance as synthetic and slightly bitter, particularly in the ginger and lemon components. Longevity is moderate, lasting around 4–6 hours with only moderate sillage, though users report inconsistent performance—some find it fading quickly while others note it lasts longer. It performs best in cooler weather and is generally suited for spring or summer. The packaging and presentation are elegant, but the scent itself is viewed by many as inferior to the original, especially given its price point. The perfume is positioned as an affordable alternative, and while some appreciate the cost savings comparing it to a typical $100 Bleu de Chanel, those who've experienced the original find the duplication deficient in quality, quality, and originality. A few users praise the performance and smoothness, especially when layered with Iso E Super or Molecule 01, but the majority consider it bland or forgettable, with little nose on the body and a weak impact on others. The perception of value is low, with most feeling it does not justify its price compared to the authentic version.
