Carbon Edition is the black-tie member of Al Haramain's wildly popular Amber Oud family - the line whose Gold Edition became a social-media phenomenon for smelling far above its price. Where Gold is sweet and dessert-like, Carbon goes aromatic: bright bergamot, lavender and rosemary gliding into a plush amber-vanilla-musk base. Don't let the name fool you - there's no harsh oud here, just an easy, elegant crowd-pleaser that carries a cold evening for a fraction of niche prices.

Amber Oud Carbon Edition is a sophisticated woody aromatic fragrance that captures classic masculinity with a refined, modern edge. Opening with fresh bergamot, lavender, and rosemary, it transitions into a sweet, fruity middle that blends seamlessly with a woodsy, ambery foundation. The base features intense woody, musky, resinous, and vanilla notes creating an intriguing olfactory foundation. This fragrance offers solid lasting power of 6-8 hours and is versatile enough for office wear, nights out, and casual dinners. Best suited for Fall and Winter.

Layering Tip

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
