Al Haramain never fails to impress fragrance lovers with its expertly crafted compositions, and Azlan Oud Amber Edition is no exception. This Extrait de Parfum is a radiant, citrusy, fruity-floral delight wrapped in smooth amber and musk. It’s elegant, unisex, and bold—perfect for those who love a statement scent that performs exceptionally.
First Impressions: Premium Presentation
When you first unbox Azlan Oud Amber Edition, you know you're dealing with something special. The packaging is premium, with a heavy bottle, a metallic cap, and a luxurious sprayer that mists generously. Even the box feels expensive and thoughtfully designed.
The first thing you’ll notice upon spraying is its potency—a little goes a long way. With just 3 sprays, it creates a scent bubble around you that lasts for hours. This fragrance has serious projection—4 to 5 hours of strong sillage, and then it lingers beautifully for over 12 hours on the skin, and days on clothing.
The Scent Profile: A Sweet Citrus-Flower Symphony
Azlan Oud Amber Edition opens with a bright burst of juicy fruits and citrus. It’s refreshing and lively but still rich, thanks to its sophisticated blend of notes. Despite having “Oud” in the name, this is not a smoky or animalic scent. The oud plays a supportive, subtle role if at all noticeable.
Fragrance Notes:
-
Top Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pear, Apple, Watermelon, Strawberry
-
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Tuberose, Lily of the Valley, Carnation, Suede
-
Base Notes: Amber, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk
From the start, it’s a fruit basket explosion—pear, watermelon, and strawberry are immediately noticeable. The citrus adds brightness, but it’s not sharp. The heart reveals a white floral bouquet with soft powderiness and a touch of suede-like texture that adds class. In the base, amber and vanilla step in to warm things up, with cedarwood and sandalwood grounding the composition.
Longevity and Sillage: Exceptional Performance
This fragrance belongs in the “beast mode” category. With an extrait concentration, it wears strong for over 12 hours, and the scent bubble is wide for the first few. You’ll keep getting wafts throughout the day. On fabric, it’s even more impressive—lingering for days.
Unlike many sweet or fruity fragrances that can fade quickly, Azlan Oud Amber Edition’s woody and musky drydown helps it maintain presence without becoming cloying.
Versatility: A Year-Round Fragrance
One of the most appealing aspects of this fragrance is its year-round wearability. The fruity top and floral heart make it suitable for spring and summer, while the amber, vanilla, and woods bring warmth that’s comforting in fall and winter.
When to Wear:
-
Spring weddings or garden parties
-
Evening dinners or special date nights
-
Festive events and formal occasions
-
Anytime you want to feel elegant and captivating
Just be mindful in high heat—one or two sprays are plenty, thanks to its intensity.
Who Is This For?
Azlan Oud Amber Edition is unisex, but leans slightly feminine due to its fruity-floral character. That said, the woods and musk ensure it remains balanced. It’s sophisticated enough for mature wearers, but playful enough for those in their mid-20s and up.
It’s ideal for:
-
Floral and fruit scent lovers
-
Fans of long-lasting, rich perfumes
-
Anyone who wants a versatile signature scent
-
People who appreciate designer-level quality at a niche price
Comparisons: What It Reminds You Of
Azlan Oud Amber Edition could easily be mistaken for a designer release that costs two or three times more. It shares a similar vibe with Parfums de Marly Delina—not as sharp or sour, but still vibrant and romantic.
It also draws light comparisons to Baccarat Rouge 540, due to the airy-sweet warmth and sillage. However, it’s far more fruity and floral, and doesn’t feature that signature BR540 “cotton candy” DNA. Some may even feel it flirts with the charm of MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold, with its soft musk and amber blend.
Final Thoughts: Worth Every Penny
At around £120, Azlan Oud Amber Edition is a high-quality, luxury-feel perfume that’s worth every cent. The craftsmanship is evident—from the bottle to the balanced notes to the powerhouse longevity. It performs like a niche fragrance and gives you a premium experience without the designer markup.
If you’re searching for something sweet, sophisticated, and flawlessly blended, this one is a must-try.

-
Gorgeous fruity and citrusy opening
