Al Haramain Perfumes Opposite Black is an Eau de Parfum. Opposite Black opens with Citrus, Lemon, Lavender, and Basil, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Saffron, Fig Leaf, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Al Haramain Perfumes's Opposite Black carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper grower if you've got the patience, blending barbershop freshness with a compelling dark green depth. It's a journey, mind, with some finding the dry down takes a bit of a wobble, but for many it's a unique, affordable gem.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opposite Black opens with a brisk, clean snap of lavender and citrus, underpinned by the unexpected green earthiness of chamomile and basil. This lively start quickly gives way to a more complex heart, where the sharp, almost metallic green of violet and fig leaves meets the surprising sweetness of plum and a touch of intriguing saffron. The whole thing settles into a sophisticated base of grounding vetiver and cedar, warmed by amber and a hint of vanilla, leaving a lasting impression that’s both fresh and deeply resonant.
