Bummer
Unfortunately this failed me. Plasticky almond, no juiciness, dry, dentist room smell. The original BR540 extrait is great to my nose: milky almonds, juiciness and transparency throughout, no doctor or dentist references. No other dupe of BR540 gave me this distinct doctor/dentist room, this is actually surprising. Sample first, don't blind buy. Consider this is the first failure with Al Haramain for me, I have others of their line and I like them. I really hoped this could scratch my itch, but this is nowhere close to the original, it really misses its hits that makes it magical. My research will continue.

BR540 from a Happy Meal
This is hot garbage. Does it smell like BR540 extrait ? Yes the same way a mcdonalds cheeseburger and the best gourmet burger are both burgers. The quality is really quite awful. The opening has way too much and way to bitter of an almond note, but its pleasant, its doesn’t smell like BR, but its not bad. After about an hour, when it dries down is when it gets bad…i get this almost body odor like salty ambergris, that is not apparent in the original and the longer it sits on the skin, the worst it gets. Even if you never tried BR540 exrait, it will be immediately apparent to you, that it shouldn’t/doesn’t smell like this. This fragrance also gave me an allergic reaction when i put it on my skin, I got this red rash wherever I sprayed it. I thought it was just me, but I gave some to a friend to try and the exact same thing happened. I don’t think these cheaper middle eastern companies give a bollocks about it being safe and allergen free. I would highly discourage you from buying this. I personally returned my bottle.

Damn Close to the Original
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.

Someone is roasting me a Rouge..
My first day with Ruby is coming to an end, and now I sit here at the keyboard reflecting on the last 30 hours. The opening (I decided on three sprays today) was quite piercing, saffron took over my room, my nose, and my entire surroundings. I personally only noticed the almond and wood notes a good while later. With each passing hour, the almond and wood notes became more pronounced and, in my opinion, balanced out the very strong saffron, resulting in an almost perfect balance after a few hours. The sillage and longevity are out of this world, really. Now to the most important question: Similarity/parallel to Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait: To get to the bottom of this question, I took a deep sniff of the BR 540 Extrait nine hours after applying the Al Haramain Ruby and came to the conclusion (subjectively): A match of at least 95 percent with indescribable sillage and longevity. The only difference: BR 540 is somewhat "more balanced" from the start, whereas Ruby has a slight (slightly piercing) saffron surplus to report. All in all: Another episode of the genius of Al Haramain.

Heavenly Saffron
I initially ordered this perfume only as a sample, as I didn't want a poor alternative to BCR. However, I read a lot of positive reviews online about it. And I can only confirm this. It comes very close to its model. But not the perfume, rather the extrait. At the beginning, a strong synthetic note emerges, but this quickly fades, and a heavenly saffron DNA begins to envelop you. The sillage is not quite as extreme as the original, but it is definitely impressive. After several hours, the coat and wood notes become more and more prominent. The longevity is very good, and you will still be able to perceive it lightly after 8 hours. On clothes, it lasts several days.
To get to the point: If you're looking for a BCR alternative that won't cost a fortune, then this is a very, very good price-performance perfume.

Almost identical . They fixed the performance issues of the "rouge" ediotion,
renamed it and there you have it:

Probably the best bang for buck Rougere. Seems less saffron-forward and, as a result, a little smoother than others. Great value, though.

This took about 6 months in my storage to mature into a good clone. Opening months were HELL - nothing but ugly ambro-thing and iodine.

Sweet metallic almond. Great performance, but non-intrusive. Bottle, package and atomizer are top tier. All this for an amazing price.

THE BR540 Extrait clone in my opinion. Spray on, let it dry a minute or two and sniff. Superb presentation for the price as well.

Incredibly sweet.
Smells like cotton candy.
To me not unisex at all but very feminine.

I can't pick out the almonds.
For me, it's more of a dupe of BR540 than the extrait.
A bit synthetic, but it has strong performance.

Smells 95% like Spirito Fiorentino to me. I don't smell any almond. For those who find BR 540 too feminine. HS top

Synthetic, piercing, and cheap. I just don’t understand the good reviews at all. H/S is great but the scent is a disaster.
