Amber Oud Ruby Edition

EDP2022

“The Baccarat Rouge glow for winter nights — the scent that follows you out of every room.”

Amber Oud Ruby Edition
woody
warm spicy
amber

A 2022 entry in Al Haramain's Amber Oud series, widely compared to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait (2017): saffron and bitter almond open onto cedar, over an ambergris base. Woody accords lead, with warm spice, amber and almond, plus an animalic musk facet. Wears strongest in winter and fall, versatile day-to-night with an evening lean.
