The Scoop
Amber Oud Bleu Edition captures the fresh citrus opening and spiced heart of Bleu de Chanel reasonably well, but diverges significantly in the base by introducing prominent oud and amber notes absent in the original. The clone maintains good longevity and projection but leans warmer and more oriental compared to the original's cool, aromatic sophistication.
Key Differences
The main distinction is the heavy oud and amber base in the clone versus Bleu de Chanel's clean vetiver and incense-forward dry down; Al Haramain's version is noticeably sweeter and more amber-focused, making it feel like a different fragrance family despite similar top notes.

What wearers say
“Smells just like edp just a bit less powdery and more citrusy metallic, not as metallic as the edt though.Quality is decent enough, better than some other BDC dupes I've tried.Longevity is moderate, pretty average though this outlasts any of the real Chanels, my BDC EDP lasts about one hour lmao so this is way better in that regard, 3-4 hours on my skin with one hour of decent projection.Okay for the price but with Iconic being cheaper i would just go for that.”
“I tried this last week at their own outlet in Dubai - it's not comparable to BDC, in anyway - I do not understand the hype. The performance too is not great, given the price tag of $100 equivalent in Dirhams!!! I own BDC (EDP& Parfum version) and Dylan Blue - will go with these anytime over this, even with a premium.”
“Pretty darn close to BDC. Not as powdery though. Great warm weather scent. Long lasting. Very safe for office wear. Compliment magnet. Great blind buy.”
