Al Haramain Amber Oud Carbon opens with Bergamot, Lavender and Rosemary; a heart of Geranium, Sage and Marine Notes; drying down to Oakmoss, Cedar, Vetiver and Amber, from notes Al Haramain (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, fresh, aromatic, amber, woody, the coarse families Al Haramain (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

Al Haramain Amber Oud Carbon is listed as a men's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "men's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.
