Al Haramain Perfumes

Amber Oud Gold Edition

2024

“Melon and pineapple over amber: the Erba Pura idea, sweeter and a great deal cheaper. Two sprays is the entire instruction.”

Amber Oud Gold Edition
sweet
fruity
ozonic

Frequently compared to Xerjoff's 2019 Erba Pura, Al Haramain's Amber Oud Gold Edition pairs melon and pineapple with amber over a vanilla base. Sweet and fruity accords lead, with an ozonic lift that keeps the sweetness airy. Despite the name, oud does not appear in its listed notes. Versatile across seasons and day-to-night, with a strong presence.
