The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Red African by Al Haramain Perfumes was launched in 2017 as a fresh spicy and woody oriental scent that blends traditional and modern elements. The fragrance opens with Brazilian Rosewood, creating an invigorating freshness that contrasts beautifully with the warm spiciness of Nutmeg. Caramel brings a touch of sweetness to the heart, while Vanilla and Ambergris provide a rich, balsamic base that is both comforting and alluring.

How to wear it

Red African has a long-lasting base that builds gradually on the skin. Apply it to pulse points for warmth and depth, but avoid over-application as the spiciness can be potent. It's best worn in cooler weather when its rich notes shine.
