What Is Rayhaan?

Rayhaan is a UAE-based fragrance house whose Eau de Parfum range spans fresh, green and aquatic scents through to amber, spice, oud, leather and gourmand compositions. Scent of the Dunes is a UK-based retailer of Rayhaan, and the Rayhaan collection is where the whole range lives. This guide covers all 35 fragrances we list, grouped by mood so you can compare them in one place.

Every note list below comes from the product pages, so you can check the details before you choose. Where community reviewers often compare a Rayhaan to a designer or niche fragrance, we say so, and the full list is in the comparison table further down. The New In collection is also worth a look for the latest additions.

Spicy, Woody and Leather Rayhaan Perfumes

Seven fragrances, all listed for evenings, dinners and cooler months. If you enjoy resinous, spiced or leathery scents, start here, or use the Scent Finder to narrow it down.

Crimson (often compared to Creed Centaurus) is the sweeter spiced pick: cinnamon, cardamom and pink pepper, then patchouli and heliotropin, over benzoin, vanilla and tonka bean.

Tiger Cal Cologne (often compared to Penhaligon's Halfeti) has the most unusual heart in the group, with rose, davana, milk and lactonic notes between nutmeg, clove and lemon above and labdanum, patchouli, frankincense and amber below.

Obsidian (often compared to Dior Homme Parfum) moves from iris and orange to leather and rose, then sandalwood, ambrette, oud and cedar, for a smoother, more polished feel.

Corium (often compared to Emporio Armani Stronger With You Leather) is the leather one: chestnut, spices and elemi, then sage and lavandin, over vanilla, an oud accord, guaiac wood and leather.

Vantage is a resinous spicy woody scent, with cardamom, bergamot and pink pepper, then frankincense, myrrh and juniper berries, over vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli.

Wood Noir is the woody oud of the group: rosewood, cardamom and Chinese pepper, then oud, sandalwood and vetiver, over tonka bean, vanilla and amber.

Terra (often compared to Amouage Outlands) is featured below.

Rayhaan Terra Amber Spicy Eau de Parfum 100ml bottle
Rayhaan

Rayhaan Terra

Amber Spicy

Terra has the longest note list in the range: the product page lists more than 20 ingredients, from frankincense, cardamom and elemi at the top to patchouli, anise and saffron in the heart and amber, oud and labdanum below. That places it at the resinous, spiced end of the collection, a scent for evenings and cooler months rather than a light daytime spray.

TopFrankincense, Cardamom, Elemi, Lemon, Bergamot, Sichuan Pepper
HeartPatchouli, Anise, Coriander, Wormwood, Cumin, Orange Blossom, Saffron, Geranium, Rose
BaseFrankincense, Vanilla, Benzoin, Amber, Oud, Opoponax, Birch, Ambergris, Maltol, Labdanum, Musk

Amber and Vanilla Rayhaan Perfumes

Warm vanilla and amber scents, also listed for evenings and autumn or winter. Elixir and Nocturno Elixir carry related names, so read their notes before choosing.

Lion (often compared to Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male) is a sweet-aromatic mix of pear, lavender, mint and bergamot, then cinnamon, clary sage and cumin, over vanilla, amber, patchouli and cedar.

Nocturno Elixir (often compared to Chanel Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif) has the shortest note list of the amber group: sandalwood, amber, woody notes and labdanum. Despite sharing words with Nocturno and Elixir, its listed notes differ from both.

Vanilla Vibe puts plum and freesia over amber, cashmere wood, oud and tuberose, then Madagascar vanilla and labdanum.

Wolf is the simplest in the range on paper: cardamom, toffee and amberwood.

Elixir (often compared to Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir) is featured below.

Rayhaan Elixir Oriental Woody Eau de Parfum 100ml bottle
Rayhaan

Rayhaan Elixir

Oriental Woody

Elixir keeps its pyramid short: bergamot and armoise, lavender and benzoin, then vanilla and tonka. Armoise, a herbal and slightly bitter note, is the detail to look for, because it adds an aromatic edge to the vanilla base.

TopBergamot, Armoise
HeartLavender, Benzoin
BaseVanilla, Tonka

Sweet and Gourmand Rayhaan Perfumes

Cognac, honey, coffee, toffee-style sweetness and fruity gourmand notes sit behind this group, which is listed for evenings and the colder months.

Italia (often compared to Xerjoff Naxos) pairs lavender, bergamot and lemon with honey, cinnamon, Cashmeran and jasmine sambac, then tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean.

Pharaoh (often compared to Omanluxury Caden) is a spicy gourmand with boozy notes, saffron, cardamom and cade oil, then coffee, benzoin and suede, over guaiac wood, tonka, labdanum, vanilla and amberwood.

Tonquin Giza is a tonka gourmand built on cacao and spices, then bitter almond and coumarin, finishing on tonka and vanilla.

Kiss is the fruity gourmand listed as women's: strawberry, coconut, praline and raspberry, then condensed milk, caramel and blossoms, over vanilla, tonka, musk and sandalwood.

Valhalla (often compared to By Kilian Angels' Share Paradis) is featured below.

Rayhaan Valhalla

Amber Gourmand

Valhalla opens with raspberry, cognac and liquor, moves through tonka bean, Bulgarian rose and oakmoss, and ends on praline, oak and sandalwood. Boozy and fruity at the start and nutty-sweet underneath, it suits cold evenings and festive plans.

Day-to-Evening Rayhaan Perfumes for Any Season

These seven are listed for day-to-evening wear at any time of year, including the fruity chypre and floral scents that fit smart plans.

Imperia (often compared to Creed Aventus) is a fruity chypre with Italian bergamot, apple, mint and elemi, then jasmine, rose, patchouli and sandalwood, over oakmoss, musk, amber and Virginia cedar.

Imperia Intense shares the Imperia name but not the notes: star anise, cypress, pepper and tangerine, then incense, lavender, orange blossom and vetiver, over cashmere wood, vanilla, musk and sandalwood.

Nava Sol is a floral woody scent with sapodilla and ambrette, then magnolia, violet and sandalwood, over ambergris, cedar and musk.

Tropical Vibe (often compared to Lorenzo Pazzaglia Summer Hammer) is a tropical fruity scent: mango, pineapple, coconut, bergamot and rum, then coconut, white flowers and marine notes, over musk, sandalwood, amber and vetiver.

Divine (often compared to Louis Vuitton Attrape-Rêves) is a fruity floral listed as women's, with litchi, ginger and bergamot, then peony, rose and vanilla, over patchouli and chocolate.

Azul is the simplest citrus aquatic: bergamot and lemon, grapefruit blossom, then calone and sandalwood.

Aquatica (often compared to Creed Virgin Island Water) is a tropical aquatic with coconut, lime, bergamot and mandarin, then ginger, ylang-ylang, jasmine and hibiscus, over white rum, sugar cane and musk.

Pacific Aloha is a citrus fruity scent: orange, mandarin and lemon, then watermelon and coconut, over amberwood, ambergris and cocoa.

Adonis Icarus (often compared to Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim) is the brightest citrus: orange, mandarin and bergamot, then neroli, ginger and pink pepper, over ambergris, musk and vetiver.
