Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Al Haramain Perfumes Black is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Al Haramain Perfumes's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Released in 2019, Al Haramain Black arrived at a time when many houses were offering bright, citrus-led unisex scents aimed at broad appeal. Marketed for women and men, it opens on mandarin, lemon and bergamot before a white-floral heart of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, iris and rose softens the citrus. The base leans woody and mossy, with sandalwood, cedar, oakmoss and amber giving a warm, slightly powdery finish. Voters give it a 4.0/5 average, and most impressions note its clean, wearable profile and good value for money.
Our take
With a 4.0 average and mostly positive votes, I think Black is a clean, citrus-first unisex that leans a bit masculine on the mossy sandalwood base; it lasts better than I expected and makes an easy, affordable daily wear, though it won't wow a niche-fragrance fan.

The Bottle
Al Haramain Black has a tall, narrow cylindrical bottle with rounded shoulders and a rounded black cap. The uniformly glossy black finish gives it a severe, compact presence, while white vertical typography and two bright silver-colored neck bands keep the otherwise monochrome object from becoming anonymous.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives Al Haramain Black a real reason to buy the original: its compact, severe black-and-white presentation has more character than an ordinary compact bottle. Its reference status adds a second, lighter argument. One house has tried to reproduce this citrus, woody, white-floral fragrance, a small but concrete sign that the release has an identity others considered worth pursuing. The evidence is limited, but it supports the original without making an unearned claim about how the interpretation performs.
