Cardamom, pink pepper and bergamot open Vantage by Rayhaan, before frankincense, myrrh and juniper berries form a resinous, spicy heart. The base settles into cedarwood and patchouli, with amber, warm spice and cool herbs leading the accords, in keeping with the woody spicy family it belongs to.
The opening is bright and peppery. Cardamom and pink pepper give a crisp, aromatic lift, and the bergamot adds the sharp zing you get from peeling an orange. That is the strongest impression in the opening minutes, with the spice noticeable from the first spray.
The heart arrives as the citrus calms down. Frankincense and myrrh bring a smoky, resinous incense smell, a little like the air inside an old stone building, while juniper berries add a cool, piney edge that keeps the resin from feeling heavy. At this stage it reads as dry and herbal rather than sweet.
The base is dry and earthy. Cedarwood gives a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness, and patchouli adds a dark, damp-soil depth underneath. The amber warmth runs through all three stages, so the scent feels warm and spiced from start to finish.
Vantage is frequently compared to Decision by Amouage - it is the incense and spice character that invites the comparison, with frankincense and myrrh at the centre of the heart. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if Decision's shape appeals to you, this is worth trying.

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.
