The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Rayhaan Tonquin Giza opens on spices and cacao, moves through bitter almond and coumarin, then settles into a vanilla and tonka base. On Fragrantica, close to half of voters call it long lasting, with sillage split between moderate and strong, making it suited to cooler days and evenings.
Rayhaan Tonquin Giza opens on a blend of warm spices and cacao, giving the first impression a gourmand, cocoa-dusted character rather than anything fresh or citrus-led. As the top notes settle, bitter almond and coumarin move in, adding a marzipan-like sweetness with a slightly bitter edge that keeps the composition from turning one-dimensional. The base is built on vanilla and tonka bean, the pairing behind most warm gourmand fragrances, which brings a soft, slightly powdery finish. Together the structure reads as a spiced dessert accord, built for cooler air rather than a light summer scent.
In the first stretch, the spice and cacao top notes are the most noticeable, giving an initial impression that is sharper and more animated than the base suggests. Within the first hour, bitter almond and coumarin take over, softening the opening into a rounder, sweeter heart. From there the fragrance settles for the bulk of its wear into vanilla and tonka, which sit close to skin and read warm rather than loud, making the later stages far quieter than the opening.
Longevity and sillage figures here come from a smaller Fragrantica voting sample, so they read as indicative rather than definitive. Within that sample, close to half of voters rate it long lasting, with a further group calling it eternal, and only a small minority reporting weak wear. On sillage, opinion splits fairly evenly between moderate and strong, with strong just ahead, suggesting a fragrance that projects noticeably without needing to be reapplied through the day.
Voting data points toward the colder months, with autumn and winter well ahead of spring and summer. That lines up with the warm, spiced gourmand character described above, which reads richer in cool air than in heat. Spring picks up a reasonable share of votes as a secondary season, while summer trails well behind the rest.
Community gender voting leans toward unisex, with that single category taking the largest share of votes ahead of any male or female grouping, and Fragrantica also lists the fragrance as unisex. FG lists it as unisex, suited to anyone drawn to a warm, spiced gourmand profile rather than a gendered one.
Rayhaan Tonquin Giza sits in similar territory to Tonka Sarrapia Extrait 75 by Guerlain, both built around a tonka-forward, gourmand base rather than a fresher or woodier one. The comparison is about shared character rather than a claim of matching composition, since the two use different supporting notes and concentrations, but wearers drawn to a warm, tonka-and-vanilla profile in one are likely to find familiar ground in the other. Both fragrances lean on coumarin's hay-like sweetness to carry that warmth, which is the throughline a buyer familiar with the Guerlain would recognise here.
Rayhaan Tonquin Giza suits anyone who leans toward warm, spiced gourmand fragrances over fresh or green ones, and who wears fragrance mainly through the cooler months. The vanilla-tonka base gives it a soft, close-to-skin character once the opening settles, making it a comfortable choice for daily wear from autumn through to the end of winter.

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.
