Al Haramain

Amber Oud Ruby Edition

Amber Oud Ruby Edition by Al Haramain is an unisex eau de parfum from 2020 in the budget price tier. It opens with bitter almond and saffron, moves into jasmine and cedarwood and dries down to ambergris and musk. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

An affordable take on Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Bitter Almond Marzipan with a sharp, cherry-stone edge. Sweet but slightly medicinal.
• Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.

Dry-down

• Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
