Very poor performance (batch: 140120011037)
I recently reviewed Al Haramain's Amber Oud Tobacco. This 'Rouge' release couldn't be more different in terms of performance...
The tobacco last for days, the rouge (Batch Code: 140120011037) last for literally minutes...
There is almost no sillage right from the start - after 15 min I doubt that anyone will notice you are wearing this..
I can still smell this very faintly after an hour if press my nose right on the place where I sprayed...
I tried overspaying - not much effect
It's a real pity as this is a nice fragrance but completely unusable for me as a fragrance... I'd be respraying all the time.
Given the many people who report good performance all I can think is poor quality control in their manufacturing process...
The presentation is very impressive like for the tobacco - fancy hinged box and nice bottle. With all that effort it's a shame that the fragrance doesn't live up to expectations. This not a release that Al Haramain can be proud of.
BTW, I didn't find this for sale on the Al Haramain website - maybe the company gave up on this too.
Their Amber Oud Tobacco is really good.
