Hareem Al Sultan Gold vs Silver vs Blue: Which Khadlaj Oil Is Right for You?
Short answer: pick Hareem Al Sultan Gold if you want the warm, sweet amber and rose scent that made the line famous, pick Silver if you want a softer rose and white musk that dries down to oud and amber, and pick Blue if you want something fresh, citrusy and floral for daytime. All three are alcohol-free concentrated perfume oils from Khadlaj in 35ml bottles, so there is no alcohol burn and a small amount goes a long way.

Hareem Al Sultan Gold: the one everyone asks for
Gold is our number one best-seller and the version that went viral online. It opens with bergamot and rose, turns warm and ambery, and settles into sandalwood and a soft oud. It reads sweet and rich without being sugary, and people who like warm amber scents usually fall for it on the first wear. If you only try one, try this.
Hareem Al Sultan Silver: soft rose that turns warm
Silver starts gentler, with rose and white musk, picks up a herbal touch of rosemary and the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang, and then dries down to oud and amber. It is the most elegant and understated of the three, a good choice if Gold feels too sweet for you.
Hareem Al Sultan Blue: the fresh one
Blue is the brightest of the family. Citrus and nectarine open it up, a white-floral heart of jasmine, gardenia and freesia follows, and a light base of woods, musk and amber keeps it grounded. It is the easiest to wear in summer or at work, and the most affordable way into the line.

How to apply a perfume oil
Roll a small amount onto your pulse points, such as the wrists, the neck and behind the ears, and let it settle rather than rubbing it in. Oils sit close to the skin, so they project less than a spray but stay with you much longer. For more on the difference, read perfume oil vs eau de parfum.
