Al Haramain
Amber Oud Rouge EDP
“BR540 without the BR540 markup — the dupe that earns the comparison.”
Al Haramain's 2019 release — a saffron-amberwood composition closely tracking the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 profile. Jasmine in the top, a musky-cashmeran base. A budget gateway to the modern amber-saffron-sugar wave. Wears strongest in fall and winter, day-to-night.
