Amber Oud Gold Edition

I owned this back in 2023 or so when I had the cash to start really collecting some stuff. I remember liking this stuff, but it didn't suit my "masculine" needs at the time, I ended up gifting this bottle to someone, can't remember who anymore. Zoom forward to now, a couple nights ago I'm at work, and a co worker comes back with a sample of Erba Pura from Xerjoff that was given to him by one of our guests. We both sampled it and enjoyed, and it was funny, because the smell of it IMMEDIATELY took me back to this stuff right here. There are some subtle differences, Erba Pura having a little less sweetness than this offers. But oooof having this in my collection owning almost 80 bottles, is GOLD. Having a 10 bottle collection? I could see why I got rid of it. My nose amidst all the time passed between my original bottle of this, and this new one, has grown immensely... I remember wearing this in 2023, thinking "man, this smells like the conditioner I use on my head, not bad, but not great".... Smelling this now? Oh man, totally different world of smell. I notice the green bergamot right off the top, a MASS of melon comes in to assault you pretty quick when spraying, but this isn't like a feminine melon attack, its like a nice neutral honeydew type melon, reaching out with some pineapple definitely present as well. As you let this dry, the melon seems to linger and it becomes what I describe as an incredibly sweet, musky, vanilla melon. Yes it resembles "hair conditioner" but in a way, that you need to let your nose sit with it and pick it apart. This for me, is not feminine, but also not masculine, it is truly what I'd say the definition of a unisex scent would be. Performance is good, it got me through a really busy sweaty shitty night at work, and was still lofting up off of me when I got out, idk if I'd rate this as eternally lasting, as it's not quite that for me, maybe as the bottle matures a bit, it might grow a touch, which wouldn't be surprising. Sillage seems good, lots of reviews giving it the strong, I put myne there as well, though this seems a little divisive right off the bat, again, maybe once the bottle gets a little air and a little age to it, it might become a bit more monsterous, but giving it a wear out of the box, I'd leave the sillage somewehre between strong and moderate. Glad to have this back in the collection, would of got erba pura itself, but tbh, the scent profile isn't something worth paying 200-400 bucks for. This is enough for me :)

beautiful fragrance, straight to the point. 10 seconds after spraying you know what it will smell like for the rest of forever. Smells like a bag of pineapple gummy bears that have been lathered with vanilla extract. Extremely feminine sweetness, but due to the lack of floral notes you as a male species can wear it as well as any other. For the price of 50€/60ml you get a bottle of liquid gummy bears that will give your bulbus olfactorius a clichéd orgasm. This stuff will invade anyones odor receptors without consent if they decide to walk within a miles reach of you. After you have decided to commit an act of active terrorism against anyones nasal receptors who crosses your path, you wonder why doesn't the fragrance last that long. The reason is that you've caused irreversible damage to your sense of smell. So as the fragrance is still pursuing its destiny as a weapon of mass destruction against humanity, you decide to respray it because you still cant smell it for you brain has been turned into liquid by the fumes emitted by the nuclear powerhouse of a fragrance you call al haramein amber oud gold edition. After you resprayed it for the fourth time in the same day you find yourself in a void. The universe collapsed by the weight of your fragrance and now you ended up turning the existing observable universe into an anti-universe. You decide its too much and you put the fragrance bottle back on the shelf because your mother told you it smells too strong. You pick up your bottle of ck everyone and head back to the observable universe where your mother complimented your fragrance that has a smell lighter than helium.

REVIEW - AL HARAMAIN AMBER OUD (GOLD EDITION) What does it smell like? Playful-Fruity and colorful fresh summer scent that lasts a long long time. It's a clone of the very famous but much more expensive Sospiro Erba Pura. TOP NOTES - This one opens very fruity and fresh. The main fruits which I can detect are a freshly cut Melon backed by a smooth Pineapple note. All in all top notes are very very mouthwatering and tasty. MIDDLE - The Mid of this perfume has a bit more Vanilla and some extra sweetness to it. It gets very slight GREEN notes in this part of the composition but that adds nicely to the fruitiness of the perfume creating a good breathable fruity environment inside the scent. DRYDOWN - The base or the composition which arrives after a very very long time has some beautiful Amber and musk in it. Which leave a very smooth and intoxicating fragrance on my skin with some of the vanilla of the middle still left over. EMOTIONS - This is a very happy uplifting and playful,vibrant perfume. The artistry of this perfume is how it manages to stay fresh even without having any fresh notes. It's like the fruity notes are fresh and you're actually smelling freshly cut Melon and pineapple inside a garden on a beautiful summer day. Beautiful composition all in all. Performance - 12 Hours + on Skin 24 Hours + on clothes. Projects very nicely for 3-4 hours. I've been asked about this scent after 6-7 hours of my initial wearing. Potent stuff but sometimes needs movement or some heat from the sun to really flow and then it provides a very good siliage. Usage - Men/Women over 18. Highly Recommended. Amazing packaging as well

!!!!!In my opinion this fragrance doesn’t quite make Erba pura redundant, if you have the money to afford Erba pura just get it, you can find it 100-140 on discounters depending on size and box type!!!!!! This has to be top 5 best performing in my collection, in a bit heavier on sprays in general depending on the projection of course, went to school with 8 sprays and everyone around me could smell me, my whole group of friends asked who smelled good, I got maybe 5 compliments in the matter of a minute, and some people jealous because of how much everyone liked the scent, I had one of my friends telling me he could smell me quite literally 6 or more feet away from where he was standing, I literally had a whole sphere of this smell around me. And this isn’t off putting to females either, my girlfriend loves the Erba pura DNA and whenever I wear this or my other clone of it she loves it. This is a great fragrance is a great replacement for Erba pura if you want it for cheaper, it isn’t a 1:1 clone or certainly not the closest. I have another fragrance that clones this DNA I’d say a literal 1:1 to me. This gets a good way there though, I’d say 80 percent, it was released before Erba pura so it’s not gonna be an exact clone of it. This I would say is more candy or gummy fruit smelling than Erba pura. It could also be perceived as a sweet and fresh body wash scent. This fragrance is literally perfect 24/7/365 every day any time of day. It’s not too weak, not too fresh, not too sweet, not too much of anything. And wonderful longevity 16+ hours at least. I would definitely recommend!

I am coming back to do an additional review on this perfume. I've made one before where I said that if you wear this, you kind of smell like a very clean person that just got out of the shower. There's a comparison that if you wear this, it's like Dove shampoo, and I agree in a way. It does smell like you just came out of the shower. You smell like, you know, Dove and you smell nice. You smell like a nice person that is clean. But I want to come back to this because this perfume has become my number one favorite. I don't think that I will come across any other perfumes that just feels so angelical. It's warm, it's sweet, fruity, and there's a little bit of vanilla in there, but it's hardly noticeable. But it's just so good. When I spray this, it makes me feel so amazing. I honestly love it so much. When it comes to projection and everything, I spray this, 20 minutes later, I don't smell it anymore, which is one of the biggest downsides of this. A lot of people are saying that the projection and everything is insane and nuclear on this stuff. It might be. Maybe I'm just getting very nose blind to it immediately. I don't know. I absolutely love this one. And if you love sweet, deep, warm, fruity fragrances, then there's no doubt that you will love this one. Some people have said it before that if you want to smell like heaven, then get this one and they're right. It smells angelical. If you were to grab golden water from heaven and put that into a perfume bottle, you would get this stuff.
