Transparency in Recommendations
At Al Haramain Amber Oud, we believe in complete transparency. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we may earn commissions when you purchase through links on our website.
Quick Navigation
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is a common practice across the internet and helps support our website's operations.
Key Points to Understand:
- ✓ You pay the same price as you would by visiting the merchant directly
- ✓ Commissions help us maintain and improve our website
- ✓ We only recommend products we genuinely believe in
- ✓ Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships
Think of it like a referral fee – if you enjoy our content and find our recommendations helpful, using our affiliate links is a great way to support us.
Amazon Associates Program
Al Haramain Amber Oud is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Official Amazon Disclosure:
"As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases."
Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. We are required to disclose our participation in this program in accordance with FTC guidelines.

Our Commitment to You
We want you to know that your trust matters more than any commission. Here's what we promise:
Authentic Recommendations
We only recommend products we have personally used, researched, or genuinely believe in.
Unbiased Content
Affiliate relationships never influence our reviews, opinions, or content decisions.
Full Transparency
We clearly disclose affiliate links and our participation in affiliate programs.
Quality First
We prioritize quality products that we would recommend to friends and family.
If we wouldn't recommend it to our own family, we won't recommend it to you – regardless of commission.

FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines, we are required to disclose any material connection between us and the brands, products, or services we mention. Our affiliate relationships constitute a material connection.
How We Comply:
- ✓ Clear disclosure at the beginning of any content containing affiliate links
- ✓ Distinct labeling of affiliate links when appropriate
- ✓ Separate disclosure page (this page) with complete details
- ✓ Regular review of content to ensure disclosures remain accurate
Cost to You
Additional cost
Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay for any product. The merchant pays us a commission from their share of the sale. You always pay the same price as you would by visiting the site directly.
Example: If you purchase a $100 perfume through our Amazon link, you pay $100. Amazon pays us a small percentage of that $100 as a commission for referring you.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content where we receive compensation for featuring specific products or brands. In such cases:
- • We will clearly label the content as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement"
- • We maintain editorial control and only accept sponsorships that align with our values
- • Our honest opinions remain our own, regardless of compensation
Note: As of March 2025, we do not have any active sponsored content partnerships. This section is for future transparency.
