Noir

#1098 in my "Tour de Fragrance" First off, this does not smell like TF "Oud Wood" or Thameen "Carved Oud." Both are woodier, no citrus .and not as sweet as this, which is basically a honeyed version of Versace "Oud Noir", but in the dry down the sweetness produces a hint of Amouage "Beach Hut Man" It is a great scent. All day longevity, very strong projection. Smooth western style oud. No barnyard vibe here. But I'd take it easy applying this if your going to be in tight spaces. Actually, probably would save this for social wear, not office wear. The price is fantastic for this kind of quality. Another successful blind buy!

One of the best Fragrances by Al Haramain. It has a very calm, cozy and pleasing scent! Quality of ingredients is top notch and remains on clothes for days! Sillage and Longevity yet to be tested on the Skin but should be great as most Middle Eastern Perfumes! Its similar to Oud Wood and Versace Oud Noir as people suggest but with beast Mode performance! Welldone Haramain!

This is simply amazing. Just got it yesterday so it hasnt masterbated yet and its 100% incredible niche smell with no synthetic or alcohol off first spray. This is without a doubt one of my favorite cheapies. Buy it, u wont regret it. Even at $50+ id get it

I love this scent. I want something cheaper alternative of this fragrance. Can anyone suggest me one ? Love this fragrance so much but it's out of my budget so finding anything similar. Please help me.

Hidden Gem, this can be an allseason fragrance if in the summer isnt too hot, woody, masculine, subtle and alluring, can pull compliments if youre into it, 8 out of 10.

First off, Maturation is an absolute MUST for Haramain-Noir especially when it comes to the performance! Judging this fragrance within the initial month or so after purchase is just unfair, truely! I purchased Noir in hopes of a Tom Ford Oud Wood clone with better performance, but that is certainly NOT what this is. Noire is a Woody, resinous "Westernized Oud" scent, but its actually very unique imo and its its very own fragrance 100%. Initially I was very dissapointed bc this scent lasted no more than 4 to 5 hours on skin with poor projection and not a whole lot better on clothes, but NOW months later Im getting around 10 hours ON SKIN and a day or two on clothes and moderate projection. Also, this scent smells quite "Expensive" and wears sorta airy and etherial, while being deep, woody and resinous at the same time and has a very, very slllight, "cola vibe" with only just hints of sweetness, yet the woody "Westernized Oud" is definately the main player in this compostion for sure. Now, I have to day that I do own over 200 frags including mostly "Niche frags" and Haramain- Noir truley holds its own amongst them and Im NOT exaggerating and I know the term "Niche Quality" gets thrown around all willy-nilly these days, but I swear its true! Just remember that MATURATION IS A MUST for this scent and I think it may take a month or maybe two for the improvements to take hold, but man! The wait is certainly very much well-worth it! So if anyone here enjoys "Tom Ford - Oud Wood (TYPES) of western oud scents".. AGAIN, NOT necessarily a clone or even an "Inspired by" fragrance, then Id def give this one a try.. A solid 8 outta 20 Niche or not! Cheers fellow fragheads!

Al Haramain Noir is a unique sweet oud fragrance that immediately took me back to 2013. The resemblance to Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir is unmistakable, to the point where it feels like a near 1:1 interpretation, and even the use of “Noir” in the name hardly feels accidental. To be clear, this has absolutely nothing to do with Tom Ford Oud Wood. There’s none of that dry woody profile. Also, it does not have any of the animalic or funky oud facets often associated with traditional oud fragrances. In fact, I’m genuinely surprised it took this long for someone to make such a close take on Versace’s oud Noir DNA. This is oud in its most Westernized form: smooth, sweet, approachable, and mass appealing. It stays far away from the harsh, bold, unapologetic Middle Eastern oud style, making it a great entry point for anyone who had a rough experience with oud-heavy fragrances in the past. A sweet, crowd-pleasing, oud-forward unisex scent that feels best suited for formal wear, special gatherings, and occasions where you want to dress up. Overall rating: 7.5/10

This is not a direct clone but it's very good. Oud Wood + Oud Noir but sweeter and woodier. Really masculine. Class and elegant. The oud is a little bit fecal if you put the nose into it. Dry-down reminds me of YSL M7 oud absolu. It's more challenging to wear than Oud Wood or Oud Noir.

Thank you @Bboystyle Your - 'Just got it yesterday so it hasnt masterbated yet' - comment made me spill my coffee. Thank you. I needed the laugh.

Bought it yesterday hoping it is an Oud Wood clone. It's not. But I'm happy because this Noir is almost a 1 to 1 copy of Oud Noir from Versace. More rounded, less scratchy, less saffron in the opening, more woods on the drydown. Nice heavy bottle with heavy cap which clicks into place securely. Atomizer is pressurized. It was a good buy.

Reminds me of a 90s pepper fragrance. Sheik is Drakkar on a thousand...good stuff....but this frag is gentle masculine. Darkish, slightly sweet....a 90s grown man who's confident.

This is a great fragrance, much more of a spicy sweet take on the oud wood dna, a little incense to it as well
