Solitaire Al Haramain
by Al Haramain Perfumes
Solitaire Al Haramain is a bold, high-performance leather and tobacco fragrance with a fresh, spicy opening that evolves into a rich, deeply textured composition. The initial burst of citrus—bergamot, lemon, and cumin—gives it a vivacious, almost green aroma, which quickly softens into a sophisticated fusion of leather, woody notes, and earthy patchouli. The scent is assertive and long-lasting, with performance that transcends typical inexpensive perfumes, lasting for days even on fabric. It feels both elegant and powerful, with a distinctive drydown that reveals subtle tobacco and sandalwood nuances. Sillage is strong and projecting in the initial hours, fading to a moderate but persistent trail, making it ideal for evening wear in cooler seasons. The bottle itself is a standout—metallic, sculpted, and equipped with a glass applicator rod, contributing to its premium feel despite the affordable pricing.
