The Amber Oud line from Al Haramain is already very hyped here - rightly so. Tobacco Vanille & Erba Pura are available as clones in the other variants. I haven't tested them yet, but the feedback is really very good. This line is not quite as cheap as many others from this brand, which also has its advantages: With a mini-budget, you can't always create a good twin, especially when it comes to high-quality niche dupes. The demanded 50-60€ for 60ml is definitely fair if you are looking for a more affordable fragrance like Baccarat Rouge. It tends to go, as many have already mentioned, in the direction of
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum and in my opinion, it also has a slight
Spirito Fiorentino vibe, although the leather note is, of course, missing. If you are looking for a dupe of the EdP: The
Club de Nuit Uńtōld is said to go more in that direction. I haven't tested it yet, but it is also very hyped like the entire Club de Nuit line.
The packaging of Amber Oud is also very niche-oriented. I don't need it now, but for people for whom this is important: It is quite attractive and you get a great box. This fragrance is available in 60 and 100ml.
The pyramid is identical to that of Baccarat Rouge. You can smell that right away. Those expecting the cotton candy sweetness of the original will be disappointed. At least the one from the EdP. A pleasant sweetness is still very present, but also significantly more wearable than that of the EdP. This slightly sterile dentist-office note is quite present; you have to like it. This saffron-bitter almond opening is really well done and smells especially like this great original. The delicate jasmine note and the soft wood also come through nicely after the top note. The base is also totally soft and sensual, as expected from this DNA. Amber-musk and sweet-soft wood. Even though this line is called Amber Oud: Oud is of course represented 0.0 here. Overall, a great saffron fragrance that comes very close to the Extrait.
Performance is also really good. While it doesn't quite reach its model, it's still more than acceptable: Good sillage for many hours and longevity of 10+ hours is more than fine.
Overall, a really great twin, which is available in mass from Dubai. Anyone who likes to buy clones should definitely consider brands like Al Haramain. Here you get a high-quality fragrance that leaves a good impression.
