Amber Oud Gold Edition by Al Haramain Perfumes




As soon as this fragrance opens up, you get a blast of that fruity appeal. Once it starts to dry down, some of the amber nuances start to peak their head through. It is creamy, sweet, not juvenile, and not playful. Despite the sweetness and edible quality, it conveys a sense of opulence and luxury. Amber Oud Gold Edition does not smell like anything else on the market.

  • Héritage by Guerlain EDT

Héritage by Guerlain EDT

Heritage by Guerlain was released in 1992, but still feels so modern and mature. Lemon and lavender have prominent notes in the opening of Héritage. It is a barber shop-ish fragrance that has the best development from top to base. As it starts to develop, the citrusy notes fade and the lavender, beautifully blended with patchouli, becomes more prominent. AS it develops even further, the lavender takes the back seat, and the patchouli becomes the star of the show.

  • Top notes: Opens with Aldehydes, Lavender, Juniper Berries, Sage, Clary, Bergamot, Green Notes, Violet, Lemon, and Petitgrain
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Coriander, Patchouli, Pepper, Geranium, Rose, Balsam Fir, Pink Pepper, Carnation, Jasmine, Iris Root, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Cyclamen.

The One by Dolce & Gabbana EDP

The One is an extremely versatile fragrance, one of those perfect fragrances that have enough character to pull off a signature scent. It is long lasting, great for all seasons, and any occasion- the gym, church, the club, the office, etc. Above all things, it is timeless. In the next 20 years, it will still be an amazing gentleman’s fragrance.

  • Man Amber by Halston

Man Amber by Halston

Man Amber is a hidden gem because the quality outweighs the price by a landslide. It hasn't always been cheap though. When it first came out, it was about $100 for a bottle, and it sold out. They restocked and made it ridiculously cheap, but no one seems to care anymore.

Man Amber is a really well blended medicinal oud. The oud is dark, but it doesnt become an oud power bomb that chokes everybody out. It is not animalic or overwhelming, but a slightly spicy amber myrrh fragrance that is warm.

  • Top notes: Opens with Geranium, Thyme, and Bergamot
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Myrrh, French Labdanum, and Amber
  • Base notes: At the base, Agarwood, Musk and Virginia Cedar
  • Perfume Gender: Masculine
  • Scent Accord: Amber Woody
  • Longevity: 8 hours plus
  • Sillage: Moderate

  • Euphoria Amber Gold Men by Calvin Klein

Euphoria Amber Gold Men by Calvin Klein

Euphoria Amber Gold is comparable to Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute.It is an absolutely stunning winter perfume that a  mature crowd would be appreciative of. It has complexity and is definitely not for young noses. 

This perfume has a sweet honey note that hits you right in the beginning, with an encompassing  sweet wine boozy feel. It is a lot like Interlude Man by Amouage, but is sweeter and not as aminalic.

  • Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Cypress and Thyme
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Sage, Oregano, Honey and Jasmine
  • Base notes: At the base, Amber, leather, Vetiver, and Frankincense

  • M7 Oud Absolu by Yves Saint Laurent 

 

M7 Oud Absolu by Yves Saint Laurent

When M7 Oud Absolu first came out, Tom Ford was the creative director for YSL. This nice  beautiful perfume has a lovely orange top note that graces your nose with a hint of smoky patchouli. It is safe to label this as a smokey powdery and seductive fragrance. 

The powderiness comes in as it starts to dry down with  oud that is light and subdued. There is more focus on patchouli, which makes it mysterious and unmistakably a suit and tie fragrance. It sets itself apart from other oud fragrances.

  • Top notes: Opens with Mandarin Orange
  • Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Patchouli
  • Base notes: At the base, Agarwood french ladnanum and myrrh
  • Perfume Gender: Masculine
  • Scent Accord: Amber Woody
  • Longevity: 8 hours
  • Sillage: Moderate
  • Projection : Very wide

CONCLUSION 

At the end of the day, you can skip work, you can miss breakfast, but you can't do without Amber.
