Amber Oud Rouge Al Haramain

Amber Oud Rouge by Al Haramain is a remarkably close dupe of Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, best known for its sweet, spiced saffron opening and its warm, ambergris-laced drydown. This fragrance generates a strong, persistent sillage and demonstrates excellent longevity, with most users reporting it lasts through the day and well into the night, especially on clothing. While some describe an initial medicinal or rubbery note reminiscent of a band-aid or VCR-like plasticity, this fades within 30 minutes, revealing the full depth of its amber, musky, and slightly animalic core. It's an unisex scent that leans slightly masculine due to its robust woody and leathery undertones, yet remains wearable across genders. The bottle is heavy and luxurious, with a velvet-lined presentation that enhances perceived value, making it an appealing budget alternative to the original. Despite some users reporting disappointment due to reformulated batches or personal noseblindness, the consensus remains overwhelmingly positive, especially for those seeking a high-performance, affordable replica of a classic niche fragrance.
