Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.
The main body of the scent, emerging as the top notes fade. It shapes how the fragrance smells once it settles on skin.

Rayhaan Italia opens on lavender, lemon and bergamot, moves through honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine, then closes on vanilla, tobacco leaf and tonka bean. On Fragrantica, 69% of wearers rate it long lasting, and 62% call sillage strong, making it a versatile fougere for day into evening.
The opening is a classic aromatic-citrus combination — lavender's herbal sharpness alongside lemon and bergamot, giving a bright, slightly bitter freshness that sits close to a traditional fougere structure. The middle brings the composition's warmth: honey and cinnamon add sweetness and spice, cashmeran contributes a soft, musky-woody texture that thickens the fragrance without making it heavy, and jasmine adds a floral lift that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying. The base resolves into vanilla, tobacco leaf and tonka bean, a warm, slightly sweet finish with tobacco's dry, leafy edge stopping it from reading as purely gourmand — this is the note most wearers single out as the fragrance's signature. Taken together, it moves from a crisp lavender-citrus top through a honeyed floral heart into a warm tobacco-vanilla base — an aromatic fougere with a sweeter, more textured finish than the classic lavender-based style, closer to a modern gourmand fougere than a traditional barbershop one.
Lavender, lemon and bergamot carry the first phase, sharp and herbal with a citrus lift that reads fresh rather than sweet, and this stage tends to be brief before the fragrance starts to warm up. As that settles, honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine come forward, and this is where the fragrance's character shifts toward something warmer and more textured, with jasmine keeping a floral note present through the middle stretch and cashmeran giving it body. The final phase brings vanilla, tobacco leaf and tonka bean to the front, a dry, sweetened base that most wearers describe as the note that lasts longest on skin, often still detectable well after the citrus and floral stages have faded entirely. The general shape is a fresh-to-warm progression rather than a single dominant accord throughout, which is part of why it reads as suited to both daytime and evening wear.
Fragrantica's community rates this long lasting, with 69% of voters choosing that band and a further 6% calling it eternal, against 22% moderate. Sillage is rated strong by 62% of voters, putting it well past a light or skin-close projection for most wearers, with a further 30% describing it as moderate — in practice this means it should be noticeable to people nearby without needing to be reapplied through the day.
Votes split across cooler months, with winter at 36%, autumn at 33% and spring at 25% — a spread that suggests it works across the cooler three seasons rather than being narrowly tied to one, with only 6% choosing summer. The lavender-citrus opening keeps it from feeling too heavy even in the milder spring stretch of that range.
This is marketed as a men's fragrance, and community voting supports that with a combined 76% choosing male or male-leaning, against 21% unisex.
Wearers most often name XJ 1861 Naxos by Xerjoff as the closest comparison, with both sharing a fresh lavender-citrus opening that resolves into a warm, honeyed base.
This suits someone who wants a fougere with more warmth and sweetness than the classic lavender style, capable of moving from daytime into evening across the cooler months. Its strong projection and long-lasting base make it a reliable single-application option for a full day of wear.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Rayhaan is a perfume brand from the United Arab Emirates that started in 2020.
