What Is Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby a Dupe Of?

Amber Oud Ruby is a BR540 Extrait clone

Al Haramain Amber Oud Ruby is a clone of Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum. We rate the similarity at 93%. Bitter almond, jasmine and woody amber are the main connection, with saffron adding another shared detail to their note lists.

The Extrait is the red Baccarat Rouge bottle we're comparing here. Ruby itself is sold as an Eau de Parfum, but that doesn't make its reference the original BR540 EDP. Our rating belongs to Ruby and the Extrait specifically. It's also worth checking Ruby on the label when you're shopping Al Haramain's Amber Oud range.

Almond, jasmine and woody amber

Ruby lists saffron and bitter almond in the opening, Egyptian jasmine and cedar in the heart, then ambergris, woody notes and musk underneath. The almond is a useful clue when trying to place this fragrance. There's a floral element too, along with plenty of woody and musky material around it.

BR540 Extrait includes bitter almond and Grandiflorum jasmine alongside an ambergris accord. Its published materials also include Cashmeran, Ambroxan and saffron. Those details give the comparison more to work with than sweetness alone: almond, jasmine and the woody amber direction all help connect the two.

The note layouts are different. Ruby has a top, middle and base pyramid, while the Extrait's profile here uses a flat list of its published materials. You can still compare the shared ideas side by side. Our 93% score reflects the overall similarity rather than simply how many note names match.
