Amber Oud Tobacco Edition by Al Haramain is a rich, warm, unisex fragrance released in 2019 that leans heavily into amber, spices, tobacco, vanilla, woods and dried fruit to deliver something luxurious, enveloping and ideal for cooler evenings. It begins with a powerful top accord of tobacco leaf fused with spicy notes – cinnamon, black pepper and a touch of ginger – creating an opening that is bright, dry‑smoky, and sharp, with that classic kick of spice mixed with a herbal, leathery edge from the tobacco. The heart unfolds into a deeper, more indulgent expanse where vanilla softens the spices; cloves and star anise build a dense, warm spicy‑sweet core; cacao adds gourmet richness; tonka bean contributes creamy smoothness; and incense girdles everything with a faint mystical smoke that gives it edge and complexity. As the scent dries down, the base resonates with more tobacco, this time more settled, followed by woods that grow more present, and dried fruits that lend a sweet, almost resinous richness, balancing the smoky‑tobacco and spicy‑vanilla core. Throughout its evolution it remains sweet but balanced by the spices and tobacco so it never drifts into cloying territory; instead it provides a warm, enveloping trail that's both comforting and bold. Performance is strong: high longevity and noticeable projection make it well suited to fall and winter, especially nights or colder weather where its depth can fully shine. It’s not a faint fragrance — it commands attention but in a refined, opulent way rather than being harsh. If you enjoy gourmand perfumes with tobacco and spice, this one will feel like stepping into a leather‑bound library, wrapped in velvet, with glowing embers in the fireplace — sweet, spicy, smoky, woods, and warmly sensual.
